Is Taylor Swift Actually Good at Guitar?

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

I thought it was worth having a look at Taylor Swifts guitar playing. Let me know which part of the video you enjoyed the most. Keep on Strummin'🎸 Aaron

[@tomenrico6199]

One of my favorite solo performances on guitar by Taylor is “Death by a Thousand Cuts” from her NPR Tiny Desk session. She does a great job maintaining a pretty cool picking pattern through some challenging vocals. It's a great song with one of her very best bridges.

[@laurawurst8731]

Yes!!! Was my number one bridge until tsmwel but still right there!

[@Veditz287]

Death by a thousand cuts showcases that she can do more complex and advanced things on guitar.

[@maggie2465]

Yes! This song is legit in the guitar

[@sViviftie]

YES yes yes just yes

[@devinonearth]

Yeah she really slayed that performance! 👏

[@emmavink]

I think it's worth mentioning from the viewpoint of a vocalist, she is one of the most effortless performers at playing guitar and piano while singing at the same time. I played piano as a formal instrument all through to the end of high school. I have studied voice and sung in internationally competitive choirs for about 20 years at this point. I couldn't do even half the job Swift does at playing and singing complicated, often contrapunctal rhythms simultaneously.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

She certainly deserves credit for all the things you mention.

[@livinglifeenjoy]

And she’s capable of singing and play a full 10 minutes song without making any mistakes. Man I struggle to play All Too Well without getting tired with my hand 😂 People are like “those are just 4 chords no barre chords” But the thing is to be able to sing and play an instrument at the same time playing at the right timing

[@emmavink]

@@livinglifeenjoy and singing complex counterpoint rhythms to what you are playing. I'd also love to know who else these schmucks think can get a fan-fking-tastic song from "just 4 chords" 🥴🥴🥴

[@d43imoet]

⁠@@livinglifeenjoyexactly! And singing wordy songs can get tiring to one’s voice and breath too. And she’s doing all that for 3 freaking hours. People need to give credits where it’s due and lay low some of the hate. 🫶🏻

[@r.katiekane252]

THIS! People simply do NOT realize....here I'll offer a "lay person" option: Pat your head and rub your tummy: For 3 hrs straight (because if she's not playing and singing, she's doing choreography and singing) Be sure not to make any mistakes either, because they'll be posted online and made fun of for months...because humanity is full of trolls. I said what I said.

[@alohasargent]

Great video! Taylor has described her own songwriting as "complex simplicity" -- which I think is what you have captured here in your analysis. Here is a quote from Taylor that you may find interesting: "To me, Tom Petty represented a kind of songwriting I idolized: complex simplicity. It said so much in the lyrics, the concepts, the stories, the message, the nuances…but always brought you back to a hook that got stuck in everyone’s head. He motivated thousands of guitarists to learn to play just because they wanted to be able to play ‘Free Fallin’. Count me as one of them.”

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Wow, that's weird, I just released a lesson for Free Fallin' a few days after this video was uploaded - I had no idea Taylor Swift idolized him in that way, but as you say 'complex simplicity' put's it quite nicely, thanks for your input!

[@philjan23]

​@@CarringtonGuitarAcademy I was preparing a comment to classify her as "bard-sy" ( 😂 ) , but "comex simplicity" says it better, I be borrowing that 😅

[@Gratefulrose36]

That’s so cool! I love Tom Petty and Taylor Swift so if you (or anyone) has a link to that video/article I’d love it! 🫶

[@toriless]

I will not speak about Tom Petty since I think he has done better songs but the problem with her songs is I often hear them when they are not playing, they are like a virus.

[@ufkankurum1599]

I think you should react to cornelia street live from paris as well she also plays guitar live there

[@jayce_m]

i’d say i’m a beginner guitar player and i can mostly play that through, i just struggle with switching chords for some of it

[@albb5]

she is a flawless rythmic guitar player. I realized this when I, already having a lets say intermediate guitar playing level, wanted to cover some of her songs on acoustic while singing too. The strumming patterns she uses, as well as the palm muting combined with the more ringing open chords when choruses arrive, make it no joke to try and play like her. I think she is a really smart player, may be not the hardest or brightest techniques, but sometimes making just the right moves to make an acoustic guitar suit your voice and match the songs’ needs is all you need, and she is the perfect example of it

[@oldmankell]

She's making more money with her guitar than I am with mine. I'd say that makes her pretty much- good enough.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Awesome! Will give those a look.

[@dr150]

[@Allen2]

​@dr150 ...nope: on the Mean live performances, Taylor plays a six string guitar shaped like a banjo in her role as the country band member teased by the mean person.

[@dianawang9113]

@@Allen2 actually she does play banjo, and a lot of other instruments as well. (guitar, piano, ukelele, banjo, drums, clarinet)

[@Allen2]

@@dianawang9113 Nope again regarding banjo and clarinet. The few "banjo" videos all have the guitar shaped like a banjo (with six pegs, six strings, and she strums it like a guitar; doesn't roll or pick it like a banjo.) She does do a single strike on a large drum in one song, but I haven't found any actual performances of clarinet or a drum kit. Can you identify?

[@chrisofnottingham]

I haven't finished watching yet but while I think of it, the thing that says she has guitar chops to me is how little she looks at her hands.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Ah yes, she may have practiced with a blindfold, that something artists sometimes do to achieve that level of effortlessness.

[@leeloopatsy]

She is a singer writer composer and she uses guitar or piano to accompany her singing and not the reverse. She doesn’t need to be a virtuoso still her skill level with the guitar and the piano is pretty good. Besides when she is singing and playing alone in a 90,000 thousand people stadium she’s doing fine what else could she need ? It’s amazing and not many people can do that.

[@TheAtticradio]

Yep that’s all true !

[@toriless]

[@araynachan]

As a very novice guitar player, and a very big Taylor fan, I have to give YOU kudos points. I rarely comment on anything, but I felt the need to tell you that this was an amazing video and you were such a pleasure to watch. People often discredit her and it's refreshing to watch an expert give her kudos and remain respectful. Hats off to you. It's beyond impressive to me that you are able to pick up everything she is playing so quickly by barely listening for a few seconds. I wish you could be my guitar teacher. You have a new subscriber in me! Cheers x

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

That's a very kind comment, thank you!

[@toriless]

Most people rarely comment. 4 million views but 2000 comments is typical for a successful video.

[@lethiapage4767]

I am a big fan of this woman. I don't think Taylor's strengths are in her instrument playing. She's no slouch but she doesn't have to be a virtuoso on piano or guitar. For her they are vehicles for her songwriting. Also after the songs are born and given to the masses she plays her guitar and sings to it with her band and her dancers as part of a huge performance. So even without playing really difficult music it's already a lot. I also like that she can play both acoustic and electric. She doesn't have to completely shred to prove herself.

[@FC-qb9wp]

Nice video! and Yes, she is. There are many guitarist on KZbin who likes her. What I try to stay away though is the rock metal dudes whatever who knows how to play one song of nirvana and they think fender made a guitar for them too. It's the debate that goes around who minimize her skills, she's not classicaly trained on guitar, she learned to be able to craft songs, same for piano. She did it to be a better musician. What I don't like also is some say it's just x amount of chords blah blah, and? Would you expect her to play a flamenca guitar solo? I was just watching a video about a pianist and metalhead react to one of her songs, the pianist said TOM PETTY HAD A CAREER SPANNING YEARS WITH ONLY 3 CHORDS, and that particular song they reacted has 4, there's other who have more.

[@ivy23173]

Ac dc ruled with only a few chords as well

[@FC-qb9wp]

@@ivy23173 lol see? Mozart also inclined towards some chords progressions and keys. Why Taylor needs to bring 20 chords on one song AND make it catchy, artistic and commercial at the same time. Seems like they ask more to her than others.

[@ivy23173]

@@FC-qb9wp at this point they are just so desperate to try and find something negative about her even if it is common with others : her chord progressions, multiple variants of vinyls (even tho I think she has the least ones), jet lag use and so on. She is not the only one who does this but because she does them, she is evil. Also she earned one billion dollars by using those simple chords. She could use more complicated ones I am sure but it is what the fans enjoy

[@amycoleman3688]

So glad this popped up on my fy because of Taylor. I play piano but wish I could play guitar. This was great. I wish you had done the full performances. Her bridges are awesome. Please do more Taylor. Great reaction. So interesting.

[@DrMLE-76]

Definitely check out the videos of her on the 12 string guitar - that’s how she insisted on learning guitar when she was young

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Thanks! Yeah, that'd be interesting to hear actually, Rock is having something of a resurgence at the moment with new releases from Slash, Extreme, Mr. Big and Myles Kennedy amongst others.

[@TheNeonRabbit]

She's not SRV but she's not trying to be. She plays Taylor Swift songs just fine.

[@johnabbottphotography]

3 things worth noting: 1) She's been playing since she was something like 12 years old. 2) After she tried dropping off recordings in Nashville, and getting no response, she decided to play 4 hours and day and song-write. 3) Her current guitar teacher - Paul Sidoti - is the same guy that has played with her since 2007. You can tell how long they've known each other by how they play together on stage. Every once in a while, they exchange a "isn't this cool?" look, and it means more when you realize that they're real life friends, along with the guy that she brings with her on every tour for the past 17 years. That's a TON of trust. I think she's not only a completely under-rated musician, but (as others have noted) fantastic at playing and singing.

[@CarringtonGuitarAcademy]

Cool, thanks for sharing. I think many musicians have a story that's similar to that. It normally starts with rejection followed by years of persistence that nobody really sees and eventually ends with success in varying degrees.

[@EmilyIlett]

I actually started learning guitar by copying taylor swift's live performances because she always uses those simple chords that are easy to play but always sound really nice 😊 love your video!

[@udayansen1446]

Thanks for this, it's very instructive. So much commentary - especially from men, unfortunately - is curiously hostile and dismissive of Taylor Swift as just a fizzy pop princess, based on knowing hardly any of her work.

Taylor wrote "Better Man," but it was recorded by the band Little Big Town....and Taylor won a Grammy award for Best Country Song for it (an award that goes to the songwriter). One of her many Grammy awards (she has won more Album of the Year Grammy Awards than any artist in history). She has released 270 songs in her career, many of them can be found on KZbin, played live. Check out: "Death By a Thousand Cuts" live in Paris, and also, there is a cell phone video on KZbin of her playing in a child's hospital room. She's playing, "We Are Never Getting Back Together," but standing up and dancing and singing while playing guitar for a little boy.

[@toriless]

No idea why that song is appropriate to play for a little boy, it seems odd.

Everyone who says she can’t play the guitar well should watch the npr tiny desk concert. I was quite surprised that she showed up all on her own, no band mates, no backup singers, just her and the instruments and her voice.

[@the1taylorswift2fan]

Taylor has proven on countless occasion that she can play multiple instruments while singing..6 string + 12 strings acoustic..electric guitar..piano..banjo & ukulele.. She's not an expert like J.Hetfield ofc but she can hold her own with just her & her guitar with no backup band..be it singing to 100 audience at coffee house..or on a high profile music awards or to 90,000 pack audience in a stadium. And i would say that only few artist ever willing to risk that..coz when u play with backing band, u can afford to make mistakes but on ur own, even the tiniest mistake will scream itself out.. 🤍🤍

Singing is her strong point. No one ever said she was a better than average guitar player. Three chords and truth. Note, the singing competitions where contestants use their guitar, often encouraged them to leave the instrument behind and just , sing.

Three chords and the truth works well for many artists, Green Day spring to mind. It's great when singers can leave their instrument for a bit and get out front to just sing, great way for them to interact with their audience.

She's not bad for what she does. People say she sucks because she strums basic open chords. Well just because it's not hard doesn't mean she sucks. It's pop music, that gets the job done. My question is does she have good rhythm, keep time and is she able to sing and play? The answer is yes, so she is an adequate guitar player. There isn't much going on besides basic major minor chords and pop chord progressions. Do people expect her to shred a solo or something 😂
