In this lesson I’ll show you how to play “The Life of a Showgirl” by Taylor Swift (feat. Sabrina Carpenter) on guitar in standard tuning with no capo.

I teach you the chords and strumming pattern for the whole song, so you can play it from start to finish with confidence. This lesson is suitable for beginners and intermediate players, and I break everything down clearly and step by step.

🎸 Guitar tabs are shown on screen throughout the lesson so you can follow along easily as you play.

What I cover in this lesson:
• All chords used in the song
• Easy-to-follow strumming pattern
• How to play every section of the song
• Tips for smooth chord changes
• Playing in time and with feel

If you’re a fan of Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, pop-acoustic songs, or singer-songwriter guitar, this is a great song to add to your repertoire.
