NEVER tell her she CAN'T do something, she'll just turn around and PROVE you wrong EVERY TIME. I feel like I should AMEND this comment and specify that I am talking MUSIC-wise.
I still think it's funny to hear someone say you can't play a 12 string. It just a little wider chord fingerings. If anyone can play a 6 string, then you SHOULD be able to play a 12.
12 string guitar is very very similar to a 6 string guitar. Playing one feels like playing a normal 6 string, but each of the normal sized 6 strings has a smaller sort of complimentary string above it. It has this richer brighter sound to it. It isn't exactly practical for most music, or most songs, but if you can write something that uses it well, it can sound really amazing. Good for her for going for it.
That's subjective lol. Nah she is very very talented. But is she the Beatles? Is She Led Zepp, Pink Floyd or Nirvana? Idk about that But i guess that is a different century technically lol
You was born in 2018 or something? Lol. WTH are you listen The Beatles, Radiohead, Zeppelin, Tupac, Whitney, Kate Bush, Caroline King, Prince, MJ, Aretha, etc etc etc ??????????? all this people is superior to swift. Taylor is only one talented of the mainstream popstars of the teenage and 20s target girls and gays of the 2010s. Nothing more. In 2021 there are a lot of superior songwriters and musicians superior to swift like Weyes Blood or Soccer Mommy but sadly they are not mainstream and teen target like swift. Of course taylor is better that selena gomez, bebe rexha, little mix or something like that lol...that is her competency those teen pop mainstream singers when taylor is better. No more that thing child.
@@Itzzy515 the only music Taylor Swift fans know are her whole cataloug and whatever is currently trending on Top 40 lol. They don't look at music as ART
🤣🤣🤣 This make me laugh soo much ! Taylor Swift is not an bad singer but, there is nothing interesting in her voice or music. Her music is just boring. I don't think that she ever did anything in music history that should be considered as the best of the best. in front of her there were many more original and talented musicians who influenced and inspired music. and I think even at this time there are musicians who are more talented than Taylor Swift. 🙃
I love Taylor and I think she is one of the greatest song writers of our time. But there is nothing all that challenging about a 12 string guitar. It is just 6 pairs of strings vs. 6 single strings. Everything is the same. Each finger is just holding down 2 closely situated strings playing the same note in a different octave for a fuller sound.
The point was that the teacher told her she couldn't because she was only eleven years old, and her hands were too small, her fingers weren't long enough or strong enough. And for her, it was indeed hard, at only eleven years old. But she did it anyway. The point is not that you think it isn't hard to play a 12 string guitar.
your right but i think she was just trying to get a message across still impressive but yeah i have 2 12 strings love them and i got a strat and a tele
It’s not being a jerk to tell someone about the fact that they aren’t anatomically developed enough to play a certain instrument. It’s looking out for them and their anatomical development.
People constantly try to minimize her many talents and then clips resurface reminding people she has earned her way to the top of many music records (albums sold, stadium tours, etc) for a reason. People can not like her but at least respect the fact she's a hard-working and determined to be the best she can be which so happens to be better than many others.
Do people realize that playing a 12 strjng is the same as a 6 string?! It just sounds different because every string is doubled but you always press two at a time
Playing a 12 string guitar is essentially the same thing as playing 6. The neck is just a slightly wider which is why he probably thought her hands and fingertips wouldn’t be big enough.
6 string and 12 string are played really the same except an extra set of very thin strings doubling the EAGDBE some and octave above. It’s not difficult if you have a good one.
I don’t doubt her dedication but something tells me she’s embellishing the details of this story a little. Taylor was born into exorbitant wealth. Both of her parents were high ranking stock brokers/fund managers who realized Taylor had musical talent at a young age and did everything they could to facilitate her success. Somehow I doubt she had to “wait 6 months until Christmas” to get the guitar. You can almost see it on her face when she says “I picked out the one I wanted” and almost immediately realize how entitled that sounds so she adds in that detail to make her sound more humble.
Guys a 12 and 6 string play almost exactly the same, it’s not some extra notes like on a 7 or 8 string. It’s only harder for her when she was around the age she talked about (10-11) because she probably got tiny hands and fingers so that would be the only harder part. After all you have to fret 2 string at ones, its basically 6 double strings, the only difference is the sound really.
But it´s true, there are some piecies of s**t around there turning everybody´s dreams down. It´s about having attitude to confront those people, but it´s for sure they have succedeed a couple of times with innocent talents.
A teacher isn’t a jerk just because they tell you a truth that you aren’t mature enough to believe. She also did not play her guitar until her fingers bled everyday. That’s a lie, an exaggeration and she still is a beginner on guitar. So… reality check.
Couple things....if your fingers are long enough to play a six string, they are long enough to play a twelve string. You cannot play until your fingers bleed every day , I guess you can but it takes very little playing the next day after the first day !
It's really nothing to write home about. Basically anyone who can play six strings can play twelve. It's basically just six pairs of strings that you play in unison like a mandolin. Just takes a few minutes to get used to the different feeling beneath your fingers and away you go.
I'm a guitar geek. If you have a great neck on your 12 string and a really good setup Tech, it's not a big deal playing a 12-string. But a bunch of those guitars that are not setup you need to be Arnold Schwarzenegger to actually play them LOL
There's really not that much of a difference between a six string and a 12 string as far as playing them. I've always preferred the sound of a 12-string ever since I was a little kid listening to John Denver records
The comment below from @Aiden Marshall as the saying goes "took the words out of my mouth" for a non-player to find out that someone in this case Taylor Swift can play a 12 string guitar it must sound like "Wow 12 strings Wow" or thoughts to that effect, but as Mr. Marshall said its just a 6 string with each string doubled but the extra 6 strings are not the same thickness (gauge) they`re a lot thinner because the extra 6 are tuned 1 octave above the main 6 strings, except for the high E and the B strings they`re tuned to the same pitch, as I said, and I`m sure I can speak for Mr. Marshall we meant no offence whatsoever we were just helping you understand, playing a 12 string guitar is not that big of a deal, Having said all that, I`m looking forward to hearing "Red" it`ll be interesting to hear what she did in the re-recordings, she owns the Masters, she is one smart Lady
I've been a guitar instructor for 17 years, played in rock bands all my life, I'm sure every guitarist here will agree with me, 12-string guitars are much softer on the fingers and easier to play. Not harder. Especially if you're just strumming 3 chords like this chick
If you play a 6, you can play a 12. regardless of age. I have played 12 string since i was 10. This is typical Taylor.. so dramatic. Gotta hand it to her, judging by all these people fooled in the comment section, she knows how to play the game.
as a guitarist i must remind the audience that a 12 string guitar is just a 6 string with each string doubled. So not to be rude, but it isn’t that special.
Is there a video playing it?? If someone can play a 6 string then they can play a 12 string providing they're strumming normal chords and Barr chords... But if you're plucking and playing different notes then it's very hard indeed
12 string guitar isn't that different to 6 strings at all. 12 is still like 6 but doubled strings some are octave higher. If u can play 6 surely u can play the 12.
I really like Taylor Swift but this is not a big deal. You play a 12 string same as a 6 string. On a 12 string, you have 6 pairs of strings, strung very close together. This enables the player to depress two strings with each finger on the left hand. Twelve string guitars give you a “bigger” sound with the additional strings on the lower three (E, A and D) being an octave higher while the 3 higher strings (G, B and E) have an additional string that’s an exact duplicate in the same octave. There’s no significant skill needed to play a twelve string as opposed to a 6 string. It just takes some getting used to
Sorry, but strumming basic chords on a 6 or 12 string guitar is no big deal. Actually, it's the same. If anyone can play a 6 string, they can play a 12 string.
Lmao...it's hardly different from a six. In fact, a six string hurts more to play because one string per note focuses more pressure on one point of your fingertip. 12s have two strings per note, distributing the surface area. The only challenge of a 12 is making sure your fingers don't buzz the adjacent strings.
I wish I had her skill to use spite as fuel lol
😂😂
Same!

(Just a joke, swiftie here, just anticipating)

Alot of Scorpio in her chart.

At the age of 11 its difficult obviously.
@@heenam7201 But all guitar should be difficult at that age. Keep learning it's worth it.
Yeaj i was surprised when playing how natural it was. Didnt play many leads but the octave string you hardly notice is there.
It is no harder at any age. If you can play 6 string at 11 you can play 12 string I did.
She's so amazing, she's so talented.💖💕
She is so dedicated. I want to be like her, she is amazing😍👁️👄👁️

The other string is essentially an octave higher for a different unique sound. Not really any harder to play.

Best coach she ever had. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have had that same determination to learn the 12 🤷♂️

God bless teachers like that. They know exactly what they are doing when they say “you can’t “…

Woah she had a country accent
6 string and 12 string are played really the same except an extra set of very thin strings doubling the EAGDBE some and octave above. It’s not difficult if you have a good one.
she just succeeds at everything out of spite.
so, basically your music teacher was correct. Good for you to take the initiative and tackle it on your own.
She played it on the red tour
I bet that teacher who told you that listened and cried to All Too Well Taylor’s Version 10 min version
It’s honestly the same as a 6 it’s just the octaves of each note. I’d honestly in all seriousness like to see her try a 8 string electric or acoustic

seriously, what kind of teachers do you have in the United States?
Ugh wow
Lol I like Taylor Swift but I can't help wondering if it was the Summer of '69...?
Well, of course she can. Anyone who can play a six string can play a 12 string. It’s all the same strings tuned EADGBE, they’re just doubled.
Sorry, but strumming basic chords on a 6 or 12 string guitar is no big deal. Actually, it's the same. If anyone can play a 6 string, they can play a 12 string.
Anyone who can play a 6 string can play a 12 string it’s the same chord shapes etc
Wow a girl can play guitar! I always say it to myself. I mean usually they dont tho its not really hard, its just a guitar
She still only plays open chords. Without her capo she would be helpless. Has anyone seen her play a barre chord yet? Didn't think so.
playing a 12 string is almost the exact same as playing a 6 string.
This is the proof we needed that Taylor indeed has always been that petty. I love her
I don’t get it, playing a 12 string is literally the exact same as playing a 6 string
Most taylor fans prolly dont know that so here they are amazed about it
and then she broke up with that guitar teacher too lol
But she played it!
and that's when i knew my little girl was a feminist 🤩
There really isn't that much difference in playing at 12 string guitar versus 6
If you can play guitar you can play a 12 string.

So what you are saying is that the teach was right and they used negative reinforcement to encourage you? Teacher had done their job very well
That depends, but he maybe didn't think a little girl could do it, or maybe he didn't really know how to play it himself.
whoopti ding...its the same as playing a 6 string.
But can she play a 13 string guitar? I don't think so
It is not much harder to play 12 string. Just need your callouses developed. Not sure why this seems like a thing or accomplishment.
Nobody plays until his or her fingers bleed. Come on seriously that would just be so counterprdouctive to learn an instrument.
So the teacher was right
simple answer is there is no difference its tuned the same ...stupid question
