Our Song by Taylor Swift--Guitar Tutorial for Beginners!

[amandaxoxx]

why wouldn't you just use your thumb instead of an eraser?

[DaniLuvsYouForever]

I have a quick question...Do we have to do the plucking pattern? Im still REALLY new to guitar and I still need to work on finger placement, can I just go down down down down instead of your plucking pattern? Will it sound bad? Thanks.

[RachieBee0123]

@DaniLuvsYouForever sure that will sound fine! just go at your own pace and you will be fine! good luck :)

[DanChunSeahz18]

[OliviaMe2You]

[TheAuthenticLove]

thanks sooo much! this helped me ALOT! 5 star :D

[summernicole17]

this helped A LOT! can you tell me the plucking pattern? i had a hard time understanding it. down, down, down, up, down, up.... thats all i got.

[scarphoenix101]

You have to keep making videos - I have never picked up a guitar before and learnt the first 3:14 of this video. You're an amazing teacher <3 Thanks (y)

[hopeali13]

whenever you showed the second way to play g you messed up. your ring finger was on the 5th string instead of the 6th. and why the hell would you use an eraser? you have long nails, finger it out...

[LiveLaughLove4m]

Oh thank you! You are an amazing teacher. Its the first time that I'm playing with chords and I cant believe I did this! Please do more tutorials! xXx

[SwagItBieber]

You seem to be really sweet, but your guitar sounds weird xd

[TheRombies]

Wow im thinking about buying a guitar and was gonna try and get a head start on a song but after watching this video i definitly want to get one thank you :)

[mrloverainbows]

thank you im a beginner and is so easy to me !

[raver69100]

you play it diffrently then you teach it.

[jennamariethompson]

thank you so much !!!! :)

[that1girl925]

@videogirlmaster1 i know right??! And they are so vague it's like I could print that off the internet myself! She is a really good teacher :) can you do white horse??

[JustinBieberBabe1029]

OMG THANK U SO MUCHHH!!

[Crystalcarlos1756]

Please to Back to December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[videomastergirl1]

u r da besssssst teacher EVVEERR!!! i looked at soe professional teachers and their all like "i assume you know how to play the chords" and i'm all like "no so you can shut up" and ur way bettr then them!!! :D

[slipknotrox1143]

the first cord i hear a really high note :/ ?

[Sarumiii]

Lol, I thought I was about the only one who uses weird things instead of a guitar pick xD Sometimes, I use an old memory card... And once, I used my cellphone! xD

[ImARockinFanGirl]

i know it IS helpful i was just correcting it and BTW i was asking if u were the one who uploaded the vid i never said it DINT help ;D have a nice day

[Maricar783]

This video helped me a lot!!! Thank you

[Roseblossom89]

Thanks for this tutorial. It really helps! Keep up the good work:)

[ImARockinFanGirl]

ur a is wrong

[l2e3a9]

@ImARockinFanGirl yea . it shud be 3rd finger - 2nd string , 2nd finger - 3rd string , and 1st finger - 4th string .. all in 2nd fret ..

[lagunacali071]

@ImARockinFanGirl so ?

[ImARockinFanGirl]

@lagunacali071 r u the one who uploaded the video?!?!?!

[lagunacali071]

@ImARockinFanGirl um no .. ? let her think whtevr she wants to think "a" is.. knowing the chord names is a good thing to know whn it comes to playing guitar but it doesnt rrly matter bout the name of the chord or how shes using it ..it just matters about how it sounds like... i play guitar and i dont evn remember the names of the chords... i just remember where u put ur fingers. and um. this tutorial is kinda helpful ? knowing where "a" is doesnt make the tutorial more harder.. just so u know.

[MissJacobBlackk]

Ahh. This is th first time im playin guitar, haha its hard! Well for me it is

[TheAQHAgal]

This video helped, but u need to play all the way through so we can hear what it sounds like.

[1013countrygirl]

So much better you sould do a song called About life by Julianne Hough . I have been trying to play that for ever and cant figure it out.

[DunkingDynamite123]

[RachieBee0123]

@shalini910 Hi! i was just strumming 4 for each chord to get down the chord progression. But if you want to play the song you strum down, down, down, up, down, up, and then do the same on the next chord and so on!

[426hannah]

[JustLenaBean]

I think this is my favorite tutorial. It was so easy to follow and learn. I am finally passing the 'beginner' stage of guitar playing, and I wish I would have came across this video when I first started!
