How to play Taylor Swift - Opalite (Lyric Video) by Unknown on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a clean, pop-friendly groove to lock into. You get to focus on smooth changes and a relaxed feel instead of speed, so it is satisfying to play along with right away.

The chart mixes easy open shapes with one harder barre shape, so your main job is keeping the hand relaxed when that tougher chord appears. Watch the opening move from C to D to Em to B - that last change is the one most likely to slow you down, so make it your priority.

Start by looping just C, D, and Em until the shifts feel automatic, then add B and slow the whole sequence down. Once the shape changes are reliable, bring it up to the full song tempo and keep your strumming steady while you listen for the chord changes.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
