Wildest Dreams - Taylor Swift | Electric + Acoustic Guitar Tutorial

How to play "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift on both electric & acoustic guitar!
Back in 2016, Taylor performed a rendition of this 1989 track at the Grammy Museum with just her voice & an electric guitar. It's absolutely magical and I'm going to show you how to capture that performance!
If you'd rather play it like the original track, I'm also going to teach that version as well on the acoustic! All you need is a capo on the 1st fret!
Both versions use the same chords & strumming! There are only a couple of slight differences. :)

Which version is your favorite: the original track or the Electric Grammy Museum performance?! I'm definitely leaning towards the Grammy Museum version right now. 🎸

[@stacyl222]

Guitar Goddess Grammy museum

[@abonnessansvideos-qn9yb]

Electric Grammy Museum too 😄

[@Mary-cv2bc]

The Grammy museum one! She added a twist that I wasn't expecting! I love that performance 🍑💕

[@SteelSkin667]

For me those solo performances are where Taylor really shines.

[@guitargirl0339]

I loved both versions! 😄 By the way Guitar Goddess, I uploaded a cover of "Babe" By: Sugarland ft. Taylor Swift. It was a rejected track for her Red album and I really love that song! ❤️❤️❤️ Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3W1e3h8jqaLi5I

[@seandaniel23]

Acoustic AND electric?! My wildest dreams have come true!

[@shashankg3705]

When's the next collab coming out? ;p

[@GuitarGoddess]

Pretty soon, actually. 😏

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Okay, I am honestly freaking out a little right now 😱 SO STOKED that you did the lesson for the way she played it in that performance 😍 Sounds beautiful!!

[@GuitarGoddess]

Aww!! Thank you so much, Cody!!

[@ashwindate]

You should definitely do more electric guitar tutorials. It sounds amazing!

[@GuitarGoddess]

Thank you so much! :)

[@fernandadelacruz2438]

Electric rocks Acoustic shines

[@kamla9862]

I don't know how to thank you , I am just so greatful to youtube and channels like you which help people all over the world so generously . Its such a great platform for learning new things Thanks for sharing your skills and guitar knowledge without being any selfish Love ya a lot 😍 Also this tutorial is so underrated 😢

[@GuitarGoddess]

💗💗💗

[@dangalirachilima9884]

I'm shocked that I hadn't subscribed before. I originally shied away from subscribing because I'm usually playing much more rock and metal oriented stuff. I nowadays prefer learning songs by ear as well for ear training, so I didn't think I needed to watch these videos. But for whatever reason I stuck around and I'm glad I did! Your tutorials have been really helpful for me so far and you're always a wonder to watch! I especially liked this video since I basically started learning guitar just under a year ago, and I started with an electric and later got an acoustic too (though I think my heart is rooted in the raw distorted power of the electric) so it's nice to see an electric tutorial and also nice to see you're also learning as well even though you're already really good with the acoustic. What I think I find coolest here though is that watching your videos has actually made me listen to and learn songs I would normally never have paid much attention to. Most of the stuff I like playing is obscure anime and video game music and alt rock or originals but nobody recognises those. And I'm not really good at keeping up with music that people my age like (and I'm not proud of that actually, I don't think that music was best in the 70s or 90s or whatever, music is simply music, good and bad music exist in all ages) so your tutorials have really helped show songs that I'd normally avoid and actually go "hang on, this is pretty good", play them, and have my very limited pool of friends actually recognise and like them. Starving I think was the first example of that but this is the best one. I'm really loving Wildest Dreams, I just learnt to play it yesterday from here. And I actually really like the song on its own! I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan. I think she's a great artist but just not really my thing (I'm sure a much younger version of me would yell about her being lame or something while embarrassingly playing Simple Plan in the background or something... and making everyone feel awkward....) but I like a couple of her songs, but I actually really like this one, particularly the version she played at the Grammy Museum. I actually think I'm gonna give the album it came from a proper listen some time soon. Either way, I loved learning this song and I think you're totally the best making these videos! I'm hoping one day I'll have the confidence to put up KZbin videos of myself playing guitar and I'd actually love to make a cover of this song (I'd probably "rockify it" or something, make it sound a little more intense) and it would be thanks to discovering your channel. Keep up the content!

[@GuitarGoddess]

Thank you so much for leaving me such a sweet comment! :) Yes, ear training is really important. Glad you're working on that!

[@josedanieljuvinaoperalta4046]

Fun fact: Taylor used her heartbeat in the song, so like the drums you can hear, was actually her heart beating.

[@aelixe]

I LOVE HOW CONSIDERATE YOU ARE AND YOU DID BOTH ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC AHHHHHH

[@GuitarGoddess]

I know what the people want. 😏

[@kamillemarieguillermo2223]

The "knock" thing is so amazing. It adds to the emotion of the song 👍 Thank you so much!
