How to play 'Hey Stephen' by Taylor Swift, Kata style...

[laurawest88]

So... I remember watching this video when it was brand new, and guitar was BRAND new to me. I was SO CONFUSED! I've come back now a little more "guitar informed" I love playing this song!

[Nandonette]

Uauuuu....amazing voice! Besos desde España! XD

[greenwaterhill]

Shit, you look just as hot as Taylor her self.

[Ultumatechipettefan3]

This is how Taylor Played it live on Z100 ;)) I love this~

[1Nathalie9]

thanks so much (:

i can play it, but when i try singing along, i just mess up

[LittleGreenHat]

this was an amazing tutorial! I couldn't figure out how to play this song for so long and within 10 minutes I was singing and playing it! I am a hardcore beginner and you made this so easy for me :)

Thank you so much! *subscribing*

[bangbangAhh]

Love the way You Laugh. <3

[TheGuitarplayer37]

ur cool. and preeeety:D

[MOueenOfPopJ]

you should do more tutorials.. it was fun..... thanks i learnt how to play it... ur cool....

[xNataliaRocchax]

Aff fuck you, i'm waiting hours and you not sing ¬¬

[iwannagotohawaii21]

@kataandtheblaze How do u do d and em??

[JBisdynamite]

@iwannagotohawaii21 The chord D is usually with your index finger on g string

2nd fret middle finger on high e string 2nd fret and ring finger on b string

3rd fret and the lowest e string( the one on the top ) is closed and thats the only string you dont strum E minor is your index and middle finger in the same fret but your index is on the a string and your middle finger is on the d string and you strum all strings

Hope I Helped :)

[iwannagotohawaii21]

@JBisdynamite It did! Thnx!

[jonas72296Fan]

ur a good singer

[Collins15Carlee]

this was way helpful! thank you! make more:D

[photographybyfefe]

hey, you were great!

i'm a beginner and love this song and i love your version the most. it's so easy to learn from your tutorial. you should do more tutorials, you were awesome, you make a great beginner's teacher. don't doubt your skills =D

[HitTheMaineLights]

When you do the intro I can't see your index finger so I'm unsure of where to place it exactly :(

[EquitationChampion]

god this is making nooo sense to me. Everybody else is getting it but me :P

I don't get how you're strumming...and how many times. I get how you transition from the 5th and 6th string, but you don't really show how many times you're strumming...when I try to play it, it sounds nothing like yours..... "/

[islanlizz]

You say that you're pretty much a beginner, but you explained it all perfectly.. thank you :)

PS. your voice is amazing !!!

[singtaylorsing258]

[Clouds2112]

you are wierd but in a VERY good way I love your sense of humor You are great

[Lmbrjck45]

I've been playing guitar 4 over 40 years now. I'm not an expert, but everyone I've played along with has taught me something & I hope they've learned from me. I know 1st hand not everyone can teach, no matter how good they are. You have a real talent. You add two ingredients that make for quick learning--making it fun and being funny. This is a hard song, it's "wordy" & syncopated. I've learned playing along with the song over and over helps a lot. But do everyone a favor...do it in private? K?

[lizetbonita97]

can u pls make how to play "a place in this world" by taylor swift

[dancer4life18535]

guys, if your having trouble with the strumming, like me, just use a pick, it sounds awesome, trust me and if you wanna sing along it wont mess up the strumming, i prefer to play with a pick! Try it guys! All the chords are the same just use a pick, hope this helped ;)

Xoxo nj

[kirstybubble1]

i'm finding it really hard to get the timing right!!

and with the strumming pattern, when i play up, hit, up- it doesnt sound right and it looks like you're doing something else after.
