I'm trying to figure out how to play the riff at the beginning of "Fearless". I have the chords and I've tried every iteration of what the riff would be, but nothing sounds right. Help?
Swift just plays the chords on this one. When she plays it solo, there's nothing but the strumming. The lead riff on the band version is played by a second or third guitarist. I've had a shot at combining the two in a pretty basic way (strum then pick):
If you just want the lead bit, skip the first chord in each bar, keep the top note in bars 4 and 8.
