Guitar Lessons - Teardrops On My Guitar by Taylor Swift - chords lesson Beginners Acoustic songs

[TheTRICIA1999]

@riverstrat the pre-chorus is before the chorus, if you didn't know that! Obviously......... Most songs are like intro, verse, pre chorus, chorus, verse, pre chorus, chorus, bridge and chorus.

[lysafae]

Whats the difference between classic and acoustic guitar?

[lysafae]

Oh. haha. thanks for this!

[TheSneeakyNinjas]

yee my guitar is a yamaha guitar too! :D

[TheMhew]

Wooww, you're really good teacher. I'm so new for guitar, no one makes me understand how to strumming but U! :)

[GermanXWig]

Intro I strum duuu the verse I strum dduudu bridge I strum the way he does and the chorus I strum ddududu. I think it sounds better but that is the great thing about playing guitar is to each his/her own. Hope this helps.

[riverstrat]

LOL, Pre Chorus......

It's called a Bridge.

[yourguitarsage]

Glad u liked it!

e :)

[emoprincess13579]

lmao.."heyy kiddies.."



[JohannaRau]

like to watch my cover of teardrops on my guitar? (:

[sasakoulini]

Is your guitar an acoustic guitar?? Or classic?

[sasakoulini]

This will sound crazy but... I'm learning guitar without having a guitar... Confused? I have a fake guitar and my parents doesn't buy me a real. i already know 3 songs! I wish someday I will buy a real acoustic guitar. If I earn over thna 100 likes my parents will buy me a guitar. So guys please help me out!

[fikamiss3]

It also works with DDU UDU as the strumming pattern!!

[fikamiss3]

@DaSecretsNotOut you can play it w/out capo but if you use a capo it will sound so much to the original version..

[CrystalsTearsx]

Waiittt? I am so confused its not even funny D: lol soo the first part untill "she's got everything that I have to live with out" are down strums for four beats? and then its all fast down strums for the rest of the song? but I heard that its DDUUD

[TheRombies]

I dont get the whole shadowing thing :/ What is that? what strings do we strum when we do it ?

[TpriceOfficial97]

great sound.

[BananaSplitz21]

do u have to have a capo?

[WRJSHADOW]

R U EFFING KIDDING ME??? this is going to be the first song im gonna learn u make it so easyyy!!! u explain everything and it sounds so cool i almost cry =')

[XXmissXXcheekyXX]

nd wen i try 2 play ih sum next level tune cumz - i suk mn - buh u ace

[Elizabeth2247]

@XXmissXXcheekyXX you don't need a capo but if you wanna play this song and some others, a capo would make it sound a lot better

[TheHornyPiglet]

fag

[XXmissXXcheekyXX]

this is sik



[kristianquirapas]

Nice TUT

:)

@

[SsassySascha]

MsPeaceHopeLove if it sounds diff even when u tune it u might have tuned it in drop d when u tune it look at the letters at the bottom of the tuner and it will tell u the string it is trying to tune

[SsassySascha]

@napunk7 it takes practice. I have been playing the guitar for about a year now and I can change them in time to do a song but not that fast yet

[kuppanara]

i'm lost n i'm still new here. i would like to show u my video i post of this song. Anybody can help me with this? I love ur tutorials E.

[napunk7]

thankyou! how do u change chords so quickly?

[louann1116]

thanks soo much a friend wanted me to learn this and i almost had it down pat after this video please make more!!!

[MetalGunkie53]

If you dont have a Capo you can use a Pencil and a peice of string thats what my friend uses :)

[kickassgirl10]

strum pattern is like....all downs..1st one you strum it loud then the rest just kinda sorta lightly ring out...

har to say..just listen to him n do it how many timz it sounds right to you

[kickassgirl10]

what about the bridge...? o.O

[MsPeaceHopeLove]

Hey Umm, How do u TUNE it right??? at the top where u turn the little things to make the sound of the guitar cuz im geting a different outcome.

[mebeKG]

These videos help me ohh so much, and they don't bore me to death like some others haha, thank you guitar sage!! :)

[hulkified777]

[missgiggles82696]

yay yay yay yay yay yay[:

[EmoCrayon21]

aaaaghhhh!>:( i just got this guitar & i dont have a capo -_- i gotta go out and buy one :D

[MrsSnaple]

Can you make a guitar tutorial in Teardrops on my guitar without capo?? :/

[truevoice1002]

@MrsSnaple It actally sounds the same when you don't have a capo, but it will be lower than the actual version. Taylor swift sings higher so she puts a capo at third

[MrsSnaple]

@truevoice1002 Ohhh, ok ... I KNOW THE PENCIL TRICK WILL WORK =)

haha ..

[jairafrando1]

U AWESOMEE

[iwazhere360]

[misstard1]

My little brother took lessons for a while. But I've never touched a guitar. But I think I'm going to pick up one of his books and read it and see if guitar kida comes naturally

[Eijhei17]

Helo thx for the tutorial ..

Thaks a lot i'll try my best to play this song ..

:)

[PurpleNinjaFreaks]

Love this video and song. It takes alot of practice though. Thanks for helping me learn my first song!!

[summertime5678]

i have trouble singing and playing at the same time, how do i fix this???

[cerfew601]

@summertime5678 Just takes a LOT of practice. I have trouble doing it to.

[TanjaTricks]

@summertime5678 I have that too, but I first learn the playing by hard, and when it goes "automatically", you can focus on the singing

[PonderingPossum]

what do I do if my hands are too small for my thumb to reach all the way around on the D?? I physically can't press down all stings at the same time :((

[TheArjay16]

doo doo doo doo :)

[alannamccarthy]

[xxxNoMoreRainxxx]

Thank you so much, I am 16 and i'm trying to teach myself how to play guitar...my goal is to learn every Taylor Swift song. it's pretty hard but you've helped me out a lot!

[nanidreamzZ]

thnx u so much i love this song try hard to play it but couldnt but hwen so ur video it all chaged thnx

[RIPmichaeljackson61]

This wouldn't sound right with electric guitar , would it?

[alannamccarthy]

@RIPmichaeljackson61

This song actually would sound good with a electric. Even though electric has a different sound it will still work and it sounds great! Hope I Helped.

:-D

[KoR]

tuner your guitar 1 full step down and if you dont have a tuner you find find online versions and tune by ear

[KoR]

@xforHimx just tune your strings down 1 full step and if you dont have a tuner there are online tuners you can find and tune by ear

[hellwroughtangel]

Mr guitarsage dude, your not 100%(you're 75%) right about playing this with bar chords. where you play a g i play a A# and instead of simply baring the third fret and making a g shape with the rest of my fingers i opt to do a bar A# on the 6th fret which is easier. G=A# Em=Gm C=D#(bar third rest fingers in c shape) D=F(bar third rest fingers in d shape) For all of you interested in playing this song without a capo the chords are verse A# Gm D# F 2x Bridge Gm D# A# F Chorus A# F Gm D# 2x

[reload614]

LOL I'm not going to lie, I 43.267% watch your lessons for your funny ass facial expressions...

[lina96j]

@xforHimx Do you have all your bar chords down and are able to play them as quickly as open chords? IF so, then you can do all these chord with bar chords. Just use your first finger to replace the capo.

[bidgaddy]

[TheStrangeHead]

i still don't get the strumming patterns. can someone help me ??

[The09djmax]

he does it

down, pause, down, down

to be exact

[davereyn1]

just play a cd with apattern you like and listen carefully and just keep strumming along until uou get the drift of the tempo. Dont worry whether your in the same key or not just go along with this and it will eventually fall into place...trust me, that's how I found it out and now have a great strum pattern.

[johannestarz]
