Can you please do "the way I am " off Charlie Puth the acoustic version. I really like the guitar play in that version and want to know how to play it by myself but I don't know how.

[@CamilaMedia]

Dancing with our hands tied, live reputation tour!!!!! Pleaseee

[@anniedulman]

Would be cool if you did the electric guitar/1989 tour version of we are never ever getting back together!

[@camerondavis5057]

Hey Derrik, Can you do New Found Glory's acoustic version of "Sonny" they just released? Love your vids!

[@Joe-of1op]

Have you ever considered covering some of Taylor‘s songs? You sound so good in the video

[@farty81]

You can turn your channel into just doing Taylor Swift and we'd all be absolutely fine with it 😅

Please do the guitar lesson for the song "Betty" from Taylor's album "Folklore" ... 💜

Omg can you imagine if he actually does it!!!! It's far and away the fan favorite and guitar is really present in the og composition

[@ananya3382]

@@rankezis , I know right !!! It is guitar based song , and it would be amazing if he gives us a lesson on it . ❤️

[@DerrikRockne]

Will do that one soon!

[@karissa.nicole]

I don’t play guitar, don’t plan on playing guitar, and don’t understand anything about capos and frets and chords yet here I am watching yet another Taylor swift guitar tutorial from beginning to end🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Michelle-ev8if]

When I saw the notification I just screamed and clicked so fast. Taylor + Derrik? Love it!

[@brooklyngoines817]

I love the TS content, but TS rants about her talent really make me happy!! I love that you give her the credit she deserves! Please do "Betty" from 'folklore' and "All Too Well" from 'Red,' but honestly anything TS related will be just fine lol

[@mohsfoadazam628]

there's nothing to compares when Taylor play & sings acoustic..u can only listen & cry to the beautiful voice & music she's put her heart & souls.. No other artist/musician ever manages to do this to me. Period. Its like heaven on earth.

[@darwinllaneta5038]

❤

[@linmoonlight9423]

i agree with you so much hence the song being so haunting like she is super talented lyrically and when it comes to portraying emotions!!

[@faizamughal4897]

She is my ideal❤️

[@linmoonlight9423]

Faiza Mughal same!!🥰❣️

[@jaisymi]

I love how everyone put the biggest smile on their face watching her🥺

[@laylah9150]

Hey Derrik - i know you get plenty of comments about this but i just wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate how you recognise what an incredible performer/writer/vocalist taylor is. in and between media firestorms and all the sensationalism, people tend to overlook that at her core she is just so genuinely talented and hardworking, and an all-round incredible performer. i'm just delighted you're noting and voicing this, and it's really nice to see your reactions in real time for it. i wish i could support you on patreon but i'm a student with little money to spare - i have shared your videos around to my friends though and they love them just as much as me. stumbled upon your channel by accident but am definitely here to stay:)) thanks for the awesome content

[@DerrikRockne]

Thank you, Layla!!

[@kzenias]

Subscribed because of your taylor swift live tutorials

[@KrishnaKumar-wx1vf]

I really love how you really appreciate her. Unlike many other, instead of saying how simple chords she's playing you say how beautifully she is. May you also get great appreciation for doing this.....

[@lucasgomes8520]

please do Begin Again-Taylor Swift,this song is so good

[@genepaceky9468]

Thanks to the KZbin algorithm recently, I've been enjoying going through your breakdowns. You're probably inundated with requests, and while I do love me some TS, I wanted to throw Tin Man by Miranda Lambert into the hat. Cheers!

[@DerrikRockne]

Thanks for the request! Love that song

[@manicmamas]

Can you do Wildest dreams from her grammy museum performance?

[@aksanaaghakishieva6176]

You are right. She is queen

[@jtw.111]

I'm here after finding out that this song will be on Red (Taylor's Version). I remember wanting the original studio demo to leak so bad when I saw this performance of hers. But now we get a brand new studio recording of it! What a time to be alive.

[@alyssa1385]

You're really talented! you figured the tuning right away by just looking at it or hear it you're amazing!

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad you like it!

[@frize8222]

I absolutely love “the lakes” from her new album, I’d love so much a tutorial on that one! 😍

[@michelle_theodore]

Please please do Invisible string. I find it's intro too difficult. PS: You're amazing at what you're doing!!!! and also I loveeee the way you adore tay tay. #swiftie

[@LapineTingTing]

I love this song!!!!!! The first time I heard about this song was this Bluebird version by Taylor.

[@drexlebercejaena1595]

Please do The Story Of Us Live from the Red Tour it's available here on KZbin though it's just a fancam the quality is good. It's quite dynamic so I think it'd be fun to listen and learn!

[@iremcabar1271]

Your voice 👌🏻💥💛

[@alee9915]

I just want to thank you from bottom of my heart to always coming up with best Taylor tutorials. I think no tutor is doing the same thing as you, from clearing basics to her style, strumming, key she plays in, and chord shapes. You just make tutorial while watching videos which is sucha good thing for a noob like me who have no knowledge of music theory but with your help i am able to play her songs really well and the whole process of learning goes smoothly with your teaching. You do live tutorials not before planned tutorials like other tutors do. Every time i see a notification of your channel of Taylor's, I never miss a video. You have my respect sir 😊 I wish I can perform her songs one day, it's my dream to play her songs once in a lifetime somewhere🤞

[@DerrikRockne]

Thank you! I'm glad they are helping you and hope you can play like her one day!

[@alee9915]

@@DerrikRockne With your help, I can definitely play better than i play now if not like Taylor (she is great)!!!

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad I could help!

[@chauphammatser3011]

Thank you for this one! This song choice is so great, I loved the song so much, and then found out Taylor wrote it, and love her even more now. Congrats on making your Patreon page, I'm so happy for your growing success. Have you seen KT Tunstall do 'Something To Talk About' when she was "Live at Daryl's House" (Daryl Hall from Hall & Oats). Daryl did a whole series of jams at his house with varied musicians and it is so rich. Please do their version of Bonnie Raitt's song. I know there's lots of other musician's playing with them, but I would love to learn the chords as KT plays them.

Hey Derrik I just came across your tutorials and they are great! I’ve been picking up the guitar to get through some hard times I’m going through. There is this one song by Phoebe Bridgers I know a lot of people would really love to see a tutorial on, idk if you’d be interested in breaking this one down- but I will post the link Separately.I even saw in the comments where someone was requesting for just for that specific performance. Anyways, keep on keeping on, people who take the time out of their day to educate others are awesome human beings. Thank you much for these videos.You are truly appreciated by the KZbin community.
