"Mine" Intro and Verse

During the intro and the verse of Taylor Swift’s “Mine,” the acoustic guitar plays a handful of open position chords with some palm muting and accented strumming. In this lesson, we’ll show you how to play these sections. We’ll even show you the variations between the verses so you can practice it just like it sounds on the recording.

By the end of this lesson you will have learned:

• C, G, D and Em
• Eighth note strum
• Syncopated strumming
• Accented strumming
• Chord anticipation
• Palm muting
• Alternate strumming
