Form of the Song
"White Horse" is the second single from
Taylor Swift's record-breaking second studio album, Fearless. The 2008 album landed Swift at number one in its first week, with "White Horse" as the sad, slow song to follow-up the album's debut single "Love Story."
This particular song takes a deeper look into the darker side of Swift's love songs, using a slow piano melody with talks of fairytales not coming true. The piano has been translated to guitar chords, allowing the guitarist come up with their own strumming pattern, to interpret the song in their own way.
The intro uses a picking pattern, but guitarists can lightly strum if it's not comfortable to pick. The same chords are used throughout most of the song, tagging on the Bb chord in the bridge. Follow along to learn the chords and get an idea for your strumming pattern.
"White Horse" uses the following song form:
Intro
Verse 1
Chorus
After-chorus
Verse 2

After-chorus
Bridge/breakdown

I think they she was referring to the Linkin Park song.
Thank you so much Jen!! :B I have just 1 month playing guitar; and your videos have helped me so much! thanks thanks thaaaaaaannnnnnnkssss!:D
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!! l love this song soooooo muchhhhh l will learn this song!!
l can't believe you also teach this song!!! Thank you soooo MUCH!!
I have been trying to learn this song for EVER! And once i found this song it took me like 20 minutes..... wow BUT YOU ARE STILL AWESOME!
Love those sad songs 😂. The Bb chord is tricky for new players, just keep practicing it and building the strength in your hand once you get it it’s a beautiful chord like you said.
You are an awesome instructor! Thank you ❤❤❤
SUPER HAPPY that your back! Your my favorite teacher on mahalo, and the coolest!
Jen!!! I love you so much, you just make all these songs so easy to play! Thank you! :D
The plucking is so cool!! And i luv itt!!
Great video. Great teacher. Well done to you from Down Under. I will be teaching this to my guitar students. Like you keep reminding them, do it appropriate to your ability level. Ex. Some of my students will simply Down strum C twice, then pick the pinky on 3rd fret 1st string (E), then pick the B string (which is a C note coz your No. 1 finger is still down playing the C shape chord. Then move to the F and do the same. Am.. do the same. All relative to your ability. Great lesson. Thank you.
I love Jen Trani, she is lots of fun to learn guitar with.

Such an easy song! I can hardly play guitar but this is pretty east! Great teacher and taylor swifts songs are the best, simple yet great.
How do you stretch your fingers so far! I can barely even do the b chords, let alone the c is hard enough D: #tinyhandproblems
Practice by stretching your fingers through the back of the guitar's neck :)
I know im 6 years late, but honestly i have the tiniest hand ive ever seen (15.7 cm :)) and its not a problem to have tiny hands.
Youre not only beautiful.you clearly showed us the tabs&chords.excellent video!make more videos.

I have the tiny hand problem tooo, but other than that I'm trying hard! Yours vids are so helpful, thanks a lot!
I know the feels to have the tiny hand problem, cuz i have that prob to , my advice: buy a small nylon guitar it helps cuz the strings are soft compared to the metal strings guitars hope it helps. :)

You don't have to press that A string, it sounds the same with or without it and it's just easier for some people

How do you get your pinky to stay on the first string in the intro part? My pinky just won't go there when I try to do the C chord plus pinky on the 3rd fret 1st string?
thank you soooo much!
You're great Jen..!!

@christianmeron Hey!;) you can download videos from youtube, you need a program called aTube Catcher ;)
Okay im here to learn coz u know quarantine things hehehe
Please help me! ;-; when i play the F chord and the Am chord the sound is the same @-@ how to pick it the right way??????
i found the same thing! just pluck strings 5,4 and 2. sooo instead of 5, 3 and 2...(if 6 was the lowest and 1 the highest string if that makes sense...) sounds a lot better :)
+Peach Puko change your bass note for the F chord!
Thank u!
in the intro, do you pluck the 5th string for the C and Am, and the 4th srting for the F?
you are amazing i am going so well. speaking of well can you do all to well by taylor swift
Kitten Lyric yeah its one of my favouites but ive learnt it now taught myself
Kitten Lyric hahah dont worrry, it took me a while to learn but the more you enjoy it and the more practice you do the better youll get trust me. although all i play is ellie golding and taylor and foo fighters at the moment haha. I am going t try electric guitar soon.
***** i have been playing for 2 years now but i use to play from grade 2 and up. yeah and i agree it all dependsif you think your ready
Hey, love this song!:) do you happen to know how she picks it after the bridge, and when she starts singing the chorus, the last chorus, you can hear the picking, It's different than the intro picking, i was just wondering if you knew how to do that part:)
you're awesome!
please do sparks fly
You should do she looks so perfect by 5sos on acoustic!
its back to december
Taylor also wore the same kinda dress ! :D
Please make a tutorial of Speak Now by Taylor Swift! Thanks for this video!
can u give me the pattern for every part of the song? except the picking part
You're Amazing!!!!
❤
im a fan of taylor swift too haha

for strumming the pre-chorus/chorus, how do you make the stop so smooth and sound good?
Oh god you're so sweet! What a great tutorial, thank you!!!
how do you get sound!?! gosh mine just makes the dead noise and it sounds terrible! obviously i am doing something wrong :(
I don't get what is the difference is with the F chord and the Am chord in the into. Kind of the same strings being pushed down. Unless you use a Fbar.
you rock!
few months and i have learned to play a guitar..and im having trouble learning this song..plzz helpp!!!
heyyy can youu play bruised and scarred by mayday parade??i would love to learn it and you're like amazing
Cool😍😍😍❤
way back 2013 when I was starting to play guitar it so hard but now 2016 its easy hahaha
:D
i would love if you could do sparks fly by taylor swift?
Gah my biggest issue is with the strumming pattern and making it clean >_< and just using a pick in general... It makes me clumsy, so I'm trying it without a pick. Now I'm just worried about the pattern. Is it down (stop) down, up (stop) for the chorus?
I just love you Teacher Jen
The day you said goodnight by hale.. pls!
Help me! When I pick the first string (where the pinky goes) it doesn't sound right. It's flat and definitely like yours. What should I do?
I mean definitely NOT like yours
Pamela Celestial maybe your tuning is not the standard tuning, check 4 it first bud :)
Finally something I can understand :D
Thank you~~
can you teach how to play Safe and Sound too please?
C, F, am, F intro and verse
Can you please tell me how to do the picking? I'm quite confused.
e:1 B:2 G:3 D:4 A:5 E:6
2&5 - 2&4 - 1 - 2
always pick with a your pinky! 2 won't sound good if you don't.
hope this helps.
