Form of the Song

"Hey Stephen" by
Taylor Swift is a single from her 2008 sophomore record release, Fearless. The album is Swift's continuous love song to the world, a follow-up to her adolescent debut in 2006. 

This record shows Swift growing both as a musician and as a person, along with having a number one, record-breaking album. She sat in with her longstanding producer, Nathan Chapman, as co-producer on some of the songs, a big jump from co-writing on her debut.

This particular track involves four guitar chords with similar hand positions, making the transitions a little easier on the beginner guitarist. The drop in tuning makes the chords sound a little more unique, since she uses a lot of the same chords in her songs. There also exists a simplistic strumming pattern. Follow along to learn the rhythm and progression of the song.

"Hey Stephen" uses the following song structure:

* Intro

* Verse

* Chorus

* Verse

* Chorus

* Bridge

* Chorus (2x)

* Outro
