This is my cover version of Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift's first single. I played and produced all the music, then added the isolated vocals from the original recording into the mix to try and get as close to the original track as possible. Swift is very much in full-on country mode here with the music. It opens with a single acoustic guitar and slide guitar, then adds in two mandolins, bass, drums, a couple of fiddles and a couple of electric guitars. There is also a vibraphone or similar buried deep in the mix during the bridge. The guitar parts were fun to play, but I struggled with the fiddle parts - mainly because I don't play violin. I've tried to recreate them with keyboards - it's not quite right but hopefully close enough. I hope you like it!
