In this episode of Striking A Chord, Ernie Ball speaks to guitarist, vocalist, mutli-instrumentalist, and composer, Ayla Tesler-Mabe.

In 2015, Ayla Tesler-Mabe posted her first cover to YouTube soulfully playing John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers "Hideaway." Fast forward four years, the now 18-year-old boasts a following of over 400k on Instagram, plays to sold-out crowds, and stands as one of the most promising young guitar players on the rise.
