    Man tbh this is why I'm staying away from the guitar community even tho I love guitar and I play it. It's this elitist. "i'm better than everyone", attitude that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It's not just considering a certain genre bad, it's being so arrogant and thinking your favourite genre is the best. I just wanna jam some metal and have a good time without people shitting on pop and country and thinking metal is 10 times better. All genres are equally good, just cause I like chocolate doesn't mean vanilla sucks for example. Too bad how a community turns you away from things your passionate about...
    Someone, NOT Taylor herself, made an article and wrote a troublesome title to get views. Why should we make fun of TS and thrash her when she had nothing to do with this article? Maybe she's not the best shredder but she's a good musician overall and shitting on her for something someone else wrote is just yikes man.

Make fun of the article, point out how ridiculous the comparison is when Taylor is a skilled musician NOT a guitarist the like of Van Halen, but shitting on Taylor feels like giving merit to this clickbait article by someone else who made the claim? And this attention to the media narrative to shit on Taylor is what perpetuates how much hate she's received for years.

      it's literally impossible for this take right here to come from any kind of musician. any musician can tell that she just plays all instruments really unprofessionally. it's not a matter of genre, it's just normal musical professionalism. you can play what she plays professionally, you can play a one string guitar peofessionally, but she doesn't. 95% of buskers on the street play their instruments much more professionally than taylor swift, including those who only strum a guitar to accompany their singing. she's just not good, she has absolutely no dynamics and frequently noticably sloppy rhythm. and of course a moderately professional singer-songwriter-guitar player would write their accompaniment a good bit less monotonous in the first place, because they'd be able to play a bit more varied.

    she's not even close to where EVH is at when it comes to guitar skills, that article was stupid as fuck. but what's also pretty dumb it pitting 2 completely different artists together. she is not a guitarist. she is a country/pop/folk singer who has learnt to play since a young age. she probably didn't spend that much time learning picking or legitimate rock music patterns, but she has her own set of skills to offer as well. her songwriting is incredibly good, and if you think that "she only writes about breakups" you would be hilariously wrong. not to mention the number of genres she's dwindled in skillfully. yes, she will never (EVER) be the next EVH but trashing her because of the pop songs you've heard on the radio would be stupid. bet you haven't heard even one non-single off her folklore and evermore albums. or even any non-marketed TS song ever. if you don't like her music, that's fine, but why shit on an artist who is pretty good at what they do?

So your comments are valid, and I get that you're being sarcastic but I also get why some(wild swifties) would come for you because I don't feel she deserves even ironic criticism for something she's never claimed or tried to be?

      In Swift's case, she is a rather good guitar player, but it's just not central to her music in the way that it is for rock. The guy that gave her lessons was apparently hired for multiple hours a week, for a significant amount of time. That's pretty intense, and she is an accomplished musician. But as a general statement I'd agree.

      I think Malone is pretty much the same case as Taylor, definitely not more though lol. In any live set she's played for over a decade she plays all or at least a few of her songs acoustic. By her third album she became pretty great as a live accompaniment guitarist, and Malone is cool for playing live when he can too, but that's not the same category as Van Halen which is FINE! It's a different kind of inspiring.

    I think they’re both very talented in their own right. Van Halen is a personal favourite of mine, and to be completely fair they’re incomparable, both being _very_ different genres. Either way it doesn’t matter. What matters is that both of them have inspired new generations to pick up guitars. I got inspired by Johnny Marr, another god of guitar from the 80s. Met him once, too. My point here is that music is very much alive.

      I'm no Taylor swift fan whatsoever. But according to your logic, advanced technical ability and speed is what makes a good guitarist? Vai, Satriani and Malsteem are virtuosos, but have they ever created an album or songs that were REALLY GOOD songs, that other "simpler" artists have?

      @@stupidazzo5404 Why people are just talking about technique or speed? Those things are not what virtuosos are 'only' focusing. And just because you can play very emotional and bluesy or jazzy song-so called good song that people are eagerly claiming*but don't get me wrong I love blues and jazz guitarists-, that doesn't make you a good guitarist. And if you search for those guitarists then you would find their amazing albums. Don't underrate them. Yngwie got his classical view on playing. Listen to Rising Force. It is very enormous and neo classical metal style. And Vai, he can make very progressive sound. Passion and Warfare, it is masterpiece. Satriani to me he is a very fresh and inspiring guitarist, he made great album too. Like Surfing With The Alien.

      Dude, I seriously doubt Van Halen got so big merely on the merit of the quality of the composition... rock music was topping charts, they had the visual flair for MTV, which dictated trends... if Eruption was composed today, unfortunately, it would get lost in the shuffle. Unless it was Taylor Swift playing it.

      She has a performance of “I almost do” on the RED tour where she plays multiple barre chords. I’m sure she can play better than she does on stage, she just keeps it simple so that she doesn’t have to look down at the guitar (focus on the audience) and so there’s a lower chance of messing up. She’s a pop artist who prides herself on her songwriting first and foremost. She’s not an expert, either, but she’s definitely not the beginner/poser people make her out to be.

      Remember that Eddie Van Halen to blossomed into a confident musician. He began as an insecure child who refused to share a stage with Steve Lynch or anyone else doing the “tapping thing” Barrios was doing tapping and Harp harmonics in the 20s. Eddies genius was not his technical guitar virtuosity, but rather and amalgamation of his understanding of electronics, production and showmanship. Taylor Swift has break up songs… Anything can be framed in a bad light, however, in an age where are the guitar is pushed further and further out of the main stream, any ability to bring it back on stage is praiseworthy.

    Actually, my nieces wanted to learn how to play guitar because of pop artists like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Even Sheeran's stuff is a little complicated for them at the moment. It's just easily digestible pop music. Simply chords. Not really many lead parts. But, the kids love Taylor. They're young so they may grow out of it eventually. At the moment, I'm just glad someone caught their attention even if it isn't someone with amazing, flashy guitar skills like Van Halen. I mean, think about it. Who would you relate to more if you were a 10-year-old girl? Some guy that shreds all day every day, or a young woman that you can kind of identify with? I'm not a fan of Taylor's music, but she reaches the kids. We older guitar players don't have to understand it.

    • @isaacs8783

      People want to start somewhere. People that just want to shred aren't going to find other people to work with. The guitar solo went away from mainstream because they started to sound the same. Punk and most country songs are three basic chords per song. Those inspired by taylor Swift could move on to works by Lita Ford, Nancy Wilson, Samantha Fish and Bonnie Raitt.

      Nah, firstly he is a rhythm guitarist, he's not posing as a lead guitarist like Taylor.
      Secondly, even though for the Most part ac dc's songs are simple, there are a lot of nuances that Taylor would break her hands trying to play.
      And I agree that for the most part Malcolm does play stuff that's simple and sounds good, BUT I wouldn't say that AC DC are simple and sound good.
      Have you ever tried to play an Angus Young solo?
      Like the second solo from ride on.
      Or even the intro to thunderstruck, with EVERY note being picked.
      In top of all that, when Taylor plays a few chords, it's one chord in a boring predictable strumming pattern, until the next chord arrives and the boring strumming pattern continues.
      If I said to you "remember the guitar parts in Taylor swifts song" you wouldn't be able to.
      they're not memorable. It's just air filler for when she sings. If it was the guitar on its own, nobody would listen.
      Whereas when ac dc have a few chords, they put effort in to make a riff that sounds memorable, before the singing even comes into consideration.
      AC/DC are a pretty weird thing to compare to Taylor Swifts air filler crap

Not for her superb skills or anything, but more of a realization like "oh if she learn guitar and write these simple hit songs with 4 chords, then i can learn or or write songs with 5 chords, or 6 chords, or a guitar solo, or 7th chords, etc...".

    I teach guitar, bass, ukulele, harmonica, and voice at a performing arts studio that has over 300 students. I agree that Taylor Swift cannot be compared with Eddie Van Halen in terms of guitar skills and technique... But, during the last year, we've experienced many young students either switching from other instruments to guitar, or adding guitar to their studies primarily due to Taylor's popularity as a singer/writer/performer who plays guitar, and adopts the guitar as part of her chosen image.
    Anything, or anyone who causes people to choose to begin playing guitar in very noticeably increased numbers is a good thing for keeping the guitar in prominence, and relevance in today's music culture. I'm not a fan of Taylor, but I appreciate that her popularity is causing many kids to choose to learn guitar. Anyone who experiences the possibilities of guitar playing may advance to whatever level that they choose to aspire to along their journey of exploring the guitar.
