This Love is one of the most ethereal and underrated songs from Taylor Swift's 1989 album. With Capo on the 4th fret, it uses the classic C–G–Am–F progression (I–V–vi–IV) in a slow, hypnotic arrangement. The minimalist production makes the chord changes especially prominent and satisfying.

Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
This Love is ideal for practicing slow, deliberate strumming with dynamics — play softly in the verse and build through the chorus. The C–G–Am–F loop is one of the most universally useful chord progressions in all of pop music. With Capo 4, even absolute beginners can play the exact same shapes as the recording. On piano, try sustaining each chord for two full beats with a gentle arpeggiated left hand.
