Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia

How to play Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia by LatinHype on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because the progression is clear, memorable, and sits at a steady pace. You can focus on clean changes and a relaxed feel instead of chasing tricky rhythm details, so it is a good one for building confidence.

Most of the chart uses open shapes like Dm, C, G, F, Em, A, and E, with a few harder barre shapes such as D#, Gm, A#, and C#m. The change to watch out for is the opening move from D# into Dm and then C, since that shift can feel awkward until your fingers learn the shape flow.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the rest of the chord sequence one change at a time. Once your hands know the moves, practice at a steady pulse, then bring it up to full speed while keeping each chord ringing cleanly.

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.
