Thanks for this episode, Tony!! I have two daughters who not only love Taylor but took me to see her in concert a few years ago. As a music enthusiast, former music industry geek, and still budding guitarist, I've been to thousands of concerts and must admit that her concert was one of the best I've ever seen.... but I digress. Although I've always respected her songwriting, I never paid attention to her guitar playing until now!!! There are definitely a few take aways from this episode. Thanks!
History has proven that this girl is the man. Yes she has some songs that I see as genius. She writes to every genre. So how could any artist not see her brilliance. My taste isn't mainstream and I don't listen to free play music so I don't get to hear alot of her music and she still has my respect.
So, off topic question about muscles. I've been playing guitar in a new way that my hand muscles are not used to, fun stuff, but caused an injury where even holding my coffee cup is difficult. These are barre chord shapes I'm not used to. Been regularly stretching it but my question is should I take a break from it, or try to push through it? I don't want to lose any ground I made on that muscle but don't want my hand to be unusable either. Does that make sense? Of course I'm continuing to jam the usual open chords and scale stuff I'm used to.
I will offer my unsolicited options. If a person is accustomed to running one mile daily begins to run five miles daily, he will notice the difference. Perhaps two miles at first with gradual increase towards your goal. If you only practice 10 minutes daily, limit the barre chords to two or three minutes of each practice session and Perhaps one day each week 5 minutes for a bit. It will get better if your technique is proper (which may be the first thing you should check).
Thanks John (and great guitar-geeky last name btw lol). I think I agree and that I should get more technical with it so I don't over-do it. I'll limit barre chords to a set time and gradually increase. Appreciate the input!
Get some lighter gauge strings on your guitar. SRV had arthritis and while famous for playing 12s & 13s (or even higher on occasion), but when he was off touring and not having to play every day, or his arthritis was flaring up, he'd drop down to 11s while he got his hands back in shape or recouped. I like lighter gauge strings anyway. As BB King told Billy Gibbons said, "Why are you working so hard?" You could also get some soft foam balls or soft therapy putty and work up to firmer foam and putty. My daughter has a syndrome that makes her have weaker muscle tone and she wants to play guitar so that's what I got her to help build up strength for fretting while letting her hand work with more natural movement than a fretboard.
@@randallhacker Thank you, believe it or not, my father's grandparents were Washburn and Martin and I have one of each. The lighter gauge strings is also brilliant and be certain that your guitar is properly set-up. You can also consider a nylon string guitar for practice while you develop strength in your left hand. (Used,pawn shop, eBay...). Good luck and happy to try to help.
I'm not a fan of the genre she produces but I'm a huge fan of her songwriting, accomplishments, musicianship, and as a professional. Huge respect for Taylor Swift. I never looked this closely at her guitar work and really glad you brought my attention to this!
i really loved this episode. taylor is def overlooked as a talented guitar player, her playing is dynamic and the combination of her guitar playing and vocals is so melodic. she's not a guitarist - she uses the guitar holistically to be a musician. her performances w/ just a guitar are amazing - my fav are the grammy museum performances
I’m not really a huge fan of Taylor Swift and Country-Pop, though I enjoy a few of her songs and other select songs in this genre. I recently attempted playing a few of her songs, and upon listening to the tracks closely, watching videos of her playing the songs, and examining the tabs, I realized that she uses lots of fancy chords, odd chord changes, and techniques that are WAY above my head. However, the songs are very adaptable to allow a player who is a borderline beginner to intermediate player to still play many of the chords and techniques in a more simplified way - in other words, taking what could just be played as open chords, but attempting to integrate “some” of the more advanced techniques and chords. It really upped my playing skills a bit because I wanted to sound similar enough to “fake it till I make it.” It’s a huge lesson that we don’t all have to be fans of a particular artist to gain a great techniques. Most Pop artists really do have very basic songs progressions, but we should all explore popular artists to peel back the layers of their songs in case there are things we can learn! Or take the basics and try to make them our own by adding other techniques that weren’t used by the artist. Either way, it’s a fun way to up your playing game!
#Swifte thanks! Adding edit: I like Taylor for the style reasons you discussed, here are some of my favorite songs and why: Paper Rings: rockabilly verses, country style chorus, keychange on the bridge. Betty: watch the CMA performance. Has dynamics you talk about and percussive hits during the bridge & song ending. As well as grabbing the bass notes during most of the song. And a key change! Everything Has Changed. Watch the live x-factor performance. This song is a duet with Ed Sheeran (enough said really). Lastly, King of my Heart. Is a pop synth recording, but there are great acoustic covers as well as a snip of her playing it acoustic. Great song Thanks!
One of my guitar students is a big Taylor Swift fan and wanted to learn some of her songs, so I started listening to her music more closely. I think she's a very good, stylized player and songwriter. I don't understand why so many, particularly in the music media, crap all over her the way they do. I have a suggestion for anyone who doesn't like her music:. Don't listen to it!😅
I never ever thought much about Taylor Swift. But after watching this video I find myself digging her. Of course she's gorgeous as well. I'll have to listen to her music.
Tony, it took me a while to get around to viewing this AT, but so glad I finally did. I'm an older woman who just loves Taylor Swift. I've been a cheerleader for her for quite a while, and your 10 Taylor Swift Guitar Lessons were awesome, and confirmed and cemented my thoughts about her. Thank you for respecting and no dissing her, like so many do. (And they're probably just jealous. 😉)
I never gave Taylor much thought as a guitar geek. I’ve heard more about her love life than her music. Nice lick lesson. I really need to use my pinky more when playing. It’s pretty weak. I like how you said to explore what’s out there to you while playing a chord. I need to get out of my comfort zone for sure. Good show.
Hey Tony I love the show and hope to afford to be a TAC member soon. One of my favorite artists Ryan Adams covered Taylor Swift's whole album 1989. I would definitely check it out.-
Taylor's Tiny Desk concert contains some of my favorite live performances, especially the two guitar based ones you included here, “The Man” and “Death By a Thousand Cuts.” As for using the guitar percussively, in “The Man” she occasionally raps her knuckles on the body of the guitar. I believe she uses this technique in some other acoustic numbers.
Nice to hear Taylor Smith being discussed respectfully and with admiration for her musicianship. I’m not a particular fan of her genre, but so many people really enjoy what she does, and it’s great you’re encouraging folks to emulate her! It’s a fabulous way to get people into guitars, and music in general.
I really enjoy your channel. I have finally walked through the portal Into really dedicating myself to playing (after almost 40 years of picking it up and putting it down). I do think Taylor is brilliant beyond what she gets credit for.
If Taylor Swift gets some young people to pick up an acoustic guitar ,and learn her songs that’s a good thing. Taylor is a very rudimentary musician. You should be able to play these songs within six months. Practice everyday with one of her songs for half hour. If it gets you involved in music kudos. Then if you want to get serious like Paul Simon plan on dedicating your life.
hello there. i wish you make a video on "which string is choose to play on guitar by reading music sheet". tbh many made videos on "how to read music sheet" but no one covered this topic, actually i searched a lot and i hope you make it. love and respect from india.
Hello from Kansas City, Missouri. Because of the fact that a note on sheet music could be played on several different strings on a guitar (as compared to a piano or violin) most guitar players prefer using tablature as a form for notation of musical display. Unfortunately, I have very limited vision and tablature is very difficult for me for more than a few minutes at a time, as is texting. Good luck.
Taylor Swift has likely motivated more people to play the acoustic guitar in the last ten years as anyone. That fact alone makes her worthy of this sort of exploration.
The techniques described here are pretty pedestrian. Taylor is not my thing but I will not dispute her songwriting abilities and most particularly her clever lyrics. But she is very much an average guitar player. To state otherwise is crazy talk and an insult to people who have really put in the hours mastering that instrument. It's okay that she's an average guitar player because her gift is songwriting like John Lennon. Being a virtuoso instrumentalist is not her project.
I never gave TS much credit until I watched her “Reputation” video. I was really impressed with her…. especially after her acoustic number. I have mad respect for her storytelling and appreciation for her musicianship and work ethic.
Wow excellent you covered both dynamics!! I am a Huge Fan of Hers! I really never noticed or examined her guitar playing! I guess I will Definitely NOW !!!
Slide/bottleneck next week? Check out Sam Mitchell and his CD which has tab for a lot of old blues. Sam was the best at doing Robert Johnson slide and he doesn't mind sharing how to do it.
Sorry... I'm sorta underwhelmed by Taylor Swift,... BUT!! Did you know that the GREAT PICKER BANJO BEN CLARK once played in her band... Yeah! How about that. You'd a thunk she'd woulda learned some real guitar playing from a master like him.
I can totally relate to everything Alan said! I am moving to a new place where I finally will be able to practice my acoustic guitar first to physical therapy my this whole next year and order your course if I haven't gotten already!!! The Lord wants me back in a Worship Band and sure I have a New place to live and practice!!!
I'm really surprised that T Swift inevitably arouses so much negative comment online (she actually gets off pretty lightly so far on this thread). I'm not a huge fan, but I can appreciate good songs, great, sincere singing and the ability to accompany at a high level. Thanks, Tony.
I want to buy at least a hat! Can't find a link with the hat! My Phone doesn't type by your voice? Also interested or maybe helping with your Music Ministry?
Continuing from my previous comment I think the fact at how much I enjoy the cover album speaks to her quality of a songwriter whether you like her music or not.
Oh!! You musically had me in a few tears! These would be Great Techniques and Dynamics to learn and use when playing Acoustic in a Church Worship Band!!! It is Always Great to learn something New!
Davey was a great, innovative player, but the situation re: black mountain side is slightly more complicated. Jimmy Page learnt this from Al Stewart. Al Stewart learnt it from Bert Jansch's 1966 recording Blackwaterside (which Bert had in turn learnt from Anne Briggs). Al mistakenly thought it was in DADGAD, and so that's how Jimmy played it (Bert played it in dropped D, a version of greater subtlety, but still with the signature riff). At least, that's the version on the Led Zep studio album, which contains not just the repeating riff, but also most of the Blackwaterside melody. However, I've seen at least a couple of later live recordings where (even though it is still titled black mountainside) Jimmy's version has huge chunks of Davey's 'She moved ...' arrangement in it, including the 'improvised' sections. White Summer is a direct lift of parts of Davey's 'She Moved...'
So glad to see someone on YT say this! I've seen way too many YT male guitarists (and they are ALL men that do it) throwing shade at her. I don't see those dudes with her credentials, her prolificity, her sales, or anything else. I don't see them criticizing men's fashion and guitar choices on stage. How is a dude in pants so tight you can tell what religion he and playing some ghetto flaked hockey stick headstock axe any different than Taylor wearing anything with sequins and playing a guitar with some rhinestones on it? She's not purporting to be a lead player, yet they constantly compare her to lead players. I'd rather have a solid rhythm player over some lead player that can't keep time, any day! I'm not a huge Swift fan, but I can admit she's got talent and can play some damn good guitar! Her best song (to me) is "Better Man", which she gave to Little Big Town for supporting her when she was coming up in the biz. I'd just about kill to have 1/10th of her talent. I think a lot of people would.
I disagree. She's inspired a LOT of girls and women to start playing guitar. She's a rock solid, talented player and I'll take that over some flashy player that can't stay with the band.
Did you even watch the video, because valid points were made about her guitar prowres?. Palm muting, rythm, off-beat. bass-lines. He explained that she does these things. I think you didn't listen.
@@TribalGuitars sthu ? Is it a teensge code like GFYSNYFM ?! Anyway I’ll let you work on your guitar hero taylor swiff😂 I’m not into music for the 10/15 years old as good as you think she is you should check justin bieber guitar game, he might be the new Jimi Hendrix for you 🤣 And I think I’ll go and do myself a favor and find myself some jazz or blues lessons to work on as it’s what I play. To each their owns.
@@benmtz Didn't say she was a hero of mine. I said she's a solid player. Damn solid. I'm 56, and been involved in and around music for a good-sized piece of that. I know talent when I see it. I did talent scouting. I also know bias when I see it. Ageism (though you reverse it) and sexism. So done with you here. As the old saw goes: Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig. So I'm not going to waste my time.
@@TribalGuitars Molly Tuttle references were a running joke and drinking game. Tony says her name, a bell rings,and you take a d4ink. So,now you have not only heard it, you know why I said it. I may have said it if he was speaking about Billy Strings,but he wasn't. So...be nice and play guitar!
@@johnwashburn3793 Thanks for the info. I deleted the post. I had some sexist, misogynist, and other negative replies to another post and had my hackles up when I saw the Molly T post.
@@TribalGuitars Yes,thank you, I had noticed. I too,fought the temptation to become a complete jackass and I totally understand where you were coming from. Thanks again.
she is a master of palm muting - here is the example - plays flawlessly ... like that .... fucking hell thats the point . she is an avarage or basic guitarist in the world of guitarists. she is super sexy . thats th eposit. she is also a pianist. .... fuxking hell

Swift is a great songwriter. Even after 40 years of playing I learned some things here today. Thanks!
And mad respect for re-doing her albums.
Taylor may not be everyone's cup of tea/coffee....she is an accomplished guitarist. She does deserve kudos for her musical abilities.

I'm a geezer aged 60. When I really Taylor I was stunned. She's for real in a world of posers. If she just keeps getting better how can it end?
Do you anyone who plays twelve string acoustic guitars
nah
Taylor Swift is dead to me since she left Country music.
Have you ever hear folklore or evermore?
Which country?
@@johnwashburn3793 country music is a music genre
And I’m sure she cares so much lol

Taylor doesn't produce the same kind of album after album, all her music is different. Reputation is one of her greatest albums.

Yes black mountain side stolen from Davey Graham's she moved through the fair
Davey was a great, innovative player, but the situation re: black mountain side is slightly more complicated. Jimmy Page learnt this from Al Stewart. Al Stewart learnt it from Bert Jansch's 1966 recording Blackwaterside (which Bert had in turn learnt from Anne Briggs). Al mistakenly thought it was in DADGAD, and so that's how Jimmy played it (Bert played it in dropped D, a version of greater subtlety, but still with the signature riff). At least, that's the version on the Led Zep studio album, which contains not just the repeating riff, but also most of the Blackwaterside melody. However, I've seen at least a couple of later live recordings where (even though it is still titled black mountainside) Jimmy's version has huge chunks of Davey's 'She moved ...' arrangement in it, including the 'improvised' sections. White Summer is a direct lift of parts of Davey's 'She Moved...'

I’ll let you work on your guitar hero taylor swiff😂 I’m not into music for the 10/15 years old as good as you think she is you should check justin bieber guitar game, he might be the new Jimi Hendrix for you 🤣
And I think I’ll go and do myself a favor and find myself some jazz or blues lessons to work on as it’s what I play. To each their owns.
@@benmtz Didn't say she was a hero of mine. I said she's a solid player. Damn solid. I'm 56, and been involved in and around music for a good-sized piece of that. I know talent when I see it. I did talent scouting.
I also know bias when I see it. Ageism (though you reverse it) and sexism.
So done with you here. As the old saw goes: Don't try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
So I'm not going to waste my time.
Great show Tony, but really...? All that T. Swift and not ONE Molly Tutle reference...!?!
I honestly don't listen to Swift, but Great show. Thanks.
@@TribalGuitars Molly Tuttle references were a running joke and drinking game. Tony says her name, a bell rings,and you take a d4ink. So,now you have not only heard it, you know why I said it. I may have said it if he was speaking about Billy Strings,but he wasn't. So...be nice and play guitar!
@@johnwashburn3793 Thanks for the info. I deleted the post. I had some sexist, misogynist, and other negative replies to another post and had my hackles up when I saw the Molly T post.
@@TribalGuitars Yes,thank you, I had noticed. I too,fought the temptation to become a complete jackass and I totally understand where you were coming from. Thanks again.
@@TribalGuitars I would delete as well but I don't know how and how limited vision.
@@johnwashburn3793 No problem. All good.
Sorry, I just don’t get her music.
She may be a good guitar player, but I’m just not interested her playing, I guess. 🤷♂️
Is this a joke?!?
No. You are
@@lauriep2018 I was wondering where the stupid people are and here you are! Everything she does with guitar is begginer’s level.
Taylor Swift; more mediocrity in this world of mediocre music and just about everything else.
she is a master of palm muting - here is the example - plays flawlessly ... like that .... fucking hell thats the point . she is an avarage or basic guitarist in the world of guitarists. she is super sexy . thats th eposit. she is also a pianist. .... fuxking hell
