[ilaughstefanie]

[Danielle0fficial]

@ilaughstefanie Was 14 in the video, i'm 16 now though. And I know right! I might as well just make one (:

[1992loganlerman]

[1992loganlerman]

great tutorial! but i dont really get the strumming part and im just a beginner so please help me. . . .

[1992loganlerman]

great tutorial! but i dont really get the strumming part. . . please help me. . .

[AMANDleroy]

Hey ! Sorry for my English because i'm french.

I think you play very well and he's the best tutorial ! :)

I would ask to you if you can precise me the battement on the chorus please.

[F00LOFL0VE]

Can you do a video of how to Strum this cuz I really don't get it

[AquaBlue10]

too confusing....

[MooseLover45]

great playin...is there a different strum pattern for the chorus tho?

[Danielle0fficial]

@MooseLover45 Nope, it's all the same. There's just no palm muting in the chorus.

[alyelk7]

@MooseLover45 you can do down up down down on D then when you go to the next notes i do up down up down down if you want i can put up a video after i get the song down? lol

[peaceloveguitar817]

where are your fingers for the last chord in the song where you put your middle finger down?

[Danielle0fficial]

@peaceloveguitar817 They're on the chrord 'D'. without the middle finger, then a hammer on with the middle finger.

[peaceloveguitar817]

@Danielle0fficial thanku so much! this really helped:)

[eliyah27emily]

can you do a separate video just for the hitting the hand on the strings thing pleasee

[joenna1502]

you're good! x)

[xXCaramello]

i dont get how to hit the strings with your hand =\

[AquaBlue10]

this is hard to do the palm strumming when you got an electric and no acoustic! D:

[Danielle0fficial]

@AquaBlue10 Yeah, you can still do it, there's a whole other way of doing it on electric though. (:

[MsDemi95]

my goooood yr amaaziiing... but i jaust wanna ask you, mmmm how did u know to play it ????:\ imean is it just about knowing how to play giutar and then u could play anyy song u hear it!!??

[Danielle0fficial]

@MsDemi95 Well it's about practice mostly, like I used to not be able to play this song too well, but I practiced and improved.

[whackedout101]

@treysongzsosexy uhm no, you'd have to

find the chords in the key of c. So you'd have to transpose which kinda easy depending on how well you know music. Remember each fret is a half step!

[Danielle0fficial]

@whackedout101 Exactly, so since this capo is on the first fret, a D would turn into an E (if i'm not mistaken)

[GuitarGirl77777]

good job!

[ilikebublegum123]

ya how do u do the wrist tapping thing ive tried it but i just end up confusing myself can u plz explain it im new at guitar so ya:)

great video btw :)

[Knaz89]

How do you do the wrist tapping?

[camaligan]

wat is the strumming patter.., plz tell me! C:

[eliyah27emily]

[cookiebootzz]

[Danielle0fficial]

[ellenige]

how did you do the tapping in your hands

its so great and amazing

please teach it

i really want to learn this song

please

[Danielle0fficial]

@ellenige I'll see abou making a tutorial just for the 'palm muting'. (:

[4onefordave43]

You sound great. Thank you for this video. Is there any way you could show the strumming pattern really slowly, so slow that it maybe doesn't even sound like the song should, but so that we can really see how it works.

Thank you,

Dave

[helenmatulac]

two thumbs up. ((:

sonicegirl ((:

[DRCJEL]

i am having pizza

[Danielle0fficial]

@DRCJEL Nice.

[lyricallyours]

This is so awesome! \m/

[althinaBianca]

nice job!!!!you teach very well...this is the best tiutorial...:)

[althinaBianca]

why do you need to put capo???just asking...im new to guitars...

[whackedout101]

@althinaBianca capos are to change the key of your guitar so you can put on a fret and you can play whatever chord and sounds correct in a different key.

[Danielle0fficial]

@whackedout101 Exactly (:

[lh19918]

[djrain11]

[PuppiiDoll]

hey, thanks soo much, it reeally helped!

and you're amazing on the guitar by the way, all you're taylor swift tutorials are great!

do you think you could do one on the song invisible? (also by tyalor swift)

it's an amazing song and i really like it, but i havent found any tutorials on it and im not good enough to read tabs and stuff, so it would be so helpful if u had one!

[xoxonemoxoxo]

It kind of sounds like it's up, down, down, down, & up, up, up, down.

[Danielle0fficial]

@xoxonemoxoxo Almost, only 2 ups though (:

[sabrinalpq]

Hi, can you please show the strumming pattern here?

[MusicLoove94]

thank you!:D

[Danielle0fficial]

Holy cow! Over 11,000 views. I'm so glad I could help this many people learn to play this song, thank you to everyone who's subscribed! ♥♥

[allieaNsesshomaru4ev]

[yellowlabgirl]

[vinvinperez]

Thanks alot.... You really helped me on this one.

Hope I could play like you someday. (I'm a beginner)

[Danielle0fficial]

Was 14 when I did this video, i'm 15 now. Glad to help!

[vinvinperez]

@Danielle0fficial cool.....:D I'm subscribing to you.

hope you make more great vids....

[1997breatheTS]

thanks this helped a lot!!!!!! good tutorial

[imacrackhead101]

i love girls who play guitar(:

[honeyarlene]

thank youuu so muchhh

[Danielle0fficial]

@honeyarlene You're welcome (:

[Star51263]

When you drop your finger down, I think (I'm not 100% sure) but I think its called a hammer-on

[Danielle0fficial]

Yeah that's exactly right. (:

[iluvfrogs1997]

can you teach us one step at a time by Jordan Sparks

[rockinKingOfPop]

dun really understand but nvm i'm juz tryin to help a fren.... u can upload another slower one with the strum patterns

[SwiftSquad13]

i think u did really good danielle, u helped me learn it! i'm sitting here with my guitar, taking notes on what u said and it's working out awesome. already sounds like taylor swift! love it!

[Danielle0fficial]

@SwiftSquad13 Glad to help. (:

[MyDark23]

..gud tutorial...but it just that it's too fast...

but//anyways//gud job..

[Danielle0fficial]

@MyDark23 I'm sorry about that, try pausing at parts than you need more help to understanding.

[SilentStacker09]

Do you really need a capo? I mean,I could do it without a capo and it sounds just fine...

[Danielle0fficial]

I suppose you don't need one, but if you don't use one you'll be in the wrong key of the song. You could do without one if you have a lower voice, sinc it's just one key lower than how the song is originally played.

[jackieandhiro]

What?!

I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!

[Danielle0fficial]

Sorry about that, try re-playing the video, and mabey you'll understand.

[mairad3rd101]

IT HARD.. i didnt really understand it the first time buti came around

[jennicashaw]

good tutorial:) but doesnt it get annoying when ur teaching, u play the same thing over and over again?

[Danielle0fficial]

Not really, it's what I love doing, so it's no biggie. (:

[hannahfan3389]

hey great tutorial! I didn't have a capo so I looked up how to make a capo on yourube and found how to make one so now i can play : )

[Danielle0fficial]

That's cool I didn't know you could make a capo, that'd be really helpful to some viewers who don't have capos. (:

[TaylorVent]

how do you do the last thing? like the ending.

I can do all the rest- could you help me? Thanks!

[Danielle0fficial]

It's basically the same as the chorus. Or do you mean the very last second of the song at the D?

[rickysayshi]

dear gosh I cant figure this out to save my life... okay how does the strumming go exactly? Can you explain it between transition?

like D down up down down A down up down down etc... HELP i cant tell whats going on

[Danielle0fficial]

When you switch, it'll be like (D) down down down down up up down down down up(switch to A)down down down down up up down down...and so on

[1belcher95]

You Really Dont Need A Cappo, All You Need to play is Dx 2 A x2 Emx2 G x2 For Most Of It Accept For the Bridge The ''He'll Never Fall In Love He Swears'' Its The Same x4 Each

[Danielle0fficial]

Well then you'd be in the wrong key.

[TaylorVent]

????

You really dont need to wear clothes, but its a good idea!!!!

[Danielle0fficial]

What?

[dtoastv]

Thanks SSOOO much!!

your very good

and great at explaining :)

*subscribed*

[Danielle0fficial]

thank you (: I try not to be confusing, haha

[Bakkerx0]

heyy your a really great guitar player and this video is really helpful,

but i dont get what you mean with the palm muting, like how to do it.

help? (:

i'm new to guitar too and i'm trying to learn this song. i got the chordsa nd the strumming patter down, i'm just caught up on that.

thanks!

[Danielle0fficial]

well if you're new to guitar, it's probably best not to do the palm muting, just stick with the regular strumming, practice that, and once you're more comfortable with guitar, add the palm muting.

[IcedCupcakes]

wait, i dont get the strumming pattern. wht is it again?? sorrryy.

[IcedCupcakes]

most taylor swift songs use only D, A, Em and G. fearless and crazier are some of it.

[janzbmusic]

yeah...our song too

[Danielle0fficial]

Nah, Our Song is D, Em, G, A.

[Danielle0fficial]

haha yeah and mary's song and um oh yeah beautiful eyes, haha there are alot, that's why detail is important when doing Taylor Swift song.

[XxMrsRonaldoBabixX]

so, it's.. for D, down down down, then A up up down, then Em down down down and then G up up down? sorry, i just started guitar like a month ago and i'm still in a loong progress of learning. xP great vid btw, you're an awesome teacher!

[cocoapuffluvr]

im gonna learn how to play this song too!

luv,

Britt :)

[TwilightForEva321]

thanks! your tutorials help soo soso much you have no idea!

im strill trying the palm muting thing, but i finally get the strumming pattern now(:

thanksss ur an awesome teacher

[Danielle0fficial]

The palm muting took awhile for me too, keep practicing (:

[IcedCupcakes]

hey do you mind telling me the how the strumming pattern is? (:

[Danielle0fficial]

down down down down up up down down down up (swift chords) down down down down up up down down (and just repeat) (:

[lauraaaaaaxx]

thanks so much for creating this tutuorial! :)

i think the stumming pattern is DDD UUD...thats what she says at the start lol

x

[hildev10]

whats the strumming??

[SophyHill]

I think i'ts DDD, DDD, UUU, DUDU

well that's how i do it:)

[hildev10]

okay, i'll try it.  Thanks so much :)

[darkredjewel19]

I know this sounds obvs but I really can't get it. Do you practice the strumming pattern without palm muting first our just try palm muting straight off? This is an amazing tutorial and it's really halping me cause I'm self taught and haven't got a clue. Thanks so much!

[Danielle0fficial]

yeah, try it without the palm muting at first so you can get the strumming down. and once you've gotten the strumming pattern, it's the same pattern except with the palm muting.

[omgitslykchristy]

omg!! thank you!! this helped like soooo much!!!!! :DDDD

can you teach breathe by taylor swift?? i cant get the strumming pattern right

[Danielle0fficial]

Sure (: thanks

[KellyDanielle94]

This was good, you should do a tutorial for "Johnny and June" by Heidi Newfield (:

[ohemgeeitscollins]

The palm muting crap killed me

lmao

[Danielle0fficial]

Try the strumming pattern without the palm muting, the song works without it as well.

[july3717]

standard tuning right?

[Danielle0fficial]

Yeah

[txman1]

I love this video because you keep helping instead of continue singing! Thnx, I'll get it someday... ;p

[SuperDCFanNat]

lolz r u a lil nervious making this video?cuz the strumming part is a lil confusing...great job though

[Danielle0fficial]

It's just kind of confusing because I don't really practice the tutorials, I just do them and go by ear so it's hard to make it acurate.

[bubbache]

the strumming really confused me u didnt really explain that well??

[erinnkeaney]

ur an amazing guitar player

[SuzWooz]

do you need a capo to play this song?? or can you play it without one???

[Danielle0fficial]

yeah, well to practice it you don't really need one but it does require a capo if you want to play it properly. It goes on the 1st fret.

[hippiechic017]

its actually really helped!!! thanks so much : )

[darling8gomez]

I love this video because you keep helping instead of continue singing! Thnx, I'll get it someday... ;p

- Ling-a-ling

[anclovesbrc]

u forgot a chord!!!

[txman1]

Oh yeah, which one?

[anjelize]

aww, i can't sing while playing the guitar. my strumming pattern becomes.. erm..unpatterned =))

[Danielle0fficial]

Haha. Well the way to fix that is: just keep practicing the strumming 'till you've got it perfect. Once you can do the strumming without thinking about it, you're probably ready to start singing with it. (Practice makes perfect :)

[anjelize]

Okok. I'll try that. When I get it, I might post a vid. I'll credit you for doing an awesome job in teaching how to play it. :]

[CullenJonasHSM]

what if i dont have a capo?

[gabsxlyds]

im stuck on the strumming pattern

please help :D

your really good :D AND I CANT DO THE PALM MUTING!!!!

[Danielle0fficial]

Thanks :) The palm muting should come after you've gotten the strumming down. The strumming is:

Verse: down down down down up (switch chords) down down down down up (switch)down down down (switch) down down up down down

Chorus: down down down down up up down down

I hope I helpedd! :)

[gabsxlyds]

thank youuuuuu!!!!

you did help :D

i got it now thankyouu!!

could you help me with her song love story aswell ??

thank you xx

[ilahbu96]

ur so good!!! Gahhhh!!! i want to be able to pay like that

[Danielle0fficial]

Just keep practicing :)

[crazzysquealingirlie]

wow youre great(;

[Danielle0fficial]

Thanksss :)

[taylorswiftluver1995]

This was sooooooooo helpfull!!!! Thank you soooooo much!

[alltimelowislove]

thank you! all of the other "tutorials" are just playing it.. but it really helps that you explain it because i'm just learning.

[Danielle0fficial]

Yeah i'm not that much of a visual learner myself, so I thought it'd be easier for other people if i explained it, which is how I like to be taught.

[alltimelowislove]

thanks, i'm still learning to strum without pausing to change chords. but i'm hoping that with more practice, i'll get the hang of it! :)

[lynxettechick]

I dont understand how you hit the string with that part of you hand? can you explain it a little better, your super good but im just learning and i still dont understand it, sorry :)

[Danielle0fficial]

Yeah that's okay. When you want to "palm mute" it, whitch is on the down beats, you just hit the strings with the side of your hand, but don't stop strumming.

[angelelric93]

thaaaankyo so much !!

you're amazing ! =)

[Danielle0fficial]

I'm glad to help

[IckyVicky124]

whats a capo???

[Danielle0fficial]

It's a clip that you put on the frets of your guitar to change the key.

[loveistwilight]

THANK YOU SO MUCH :) you are the bestttt!

[Danielle0fficial]

no problemm.

[CountrySinger130]

Woops. No my mistake it looks like mine though

[Danielle0fficial]

Yeah alot of guitars are that color, like light brownish tan

[CountrySinger130]

P.S. We have the same guitars

[Danielle0fficial]

Haha really? You have a Martin? That's awesome

[CountrySinger130]

Your guitar skills are beyond amazing! Could you do one for Your Face By Taylor Swift?

[Danielle0fficial]

Thankss! I do my best I started around June 2008 and my dad teaches me. I'll do Your Face tutorial when I get the chance :) I actually don't know that song on guitar yet but I have heard of it, do i'll learn it to do a tutorial

[wtfxbeccax0]

ughhh

i need to get a capo :p

[Danielle0fficial]

Well what you can do is, practice it without the capo and once you're ready to star singing with it, buy a capo then put it on.
