1 month ago I picked up one of my brothers guitars and now I have my own and can play entire songs, thank you Nena ❤

[@kairiyeoh]

Nenaaaaaaa you're incredible! Will you please do The Black Dog next? So obsessed with the song and I can never learn it properly from anyone. Your tutorials are so easy to understand and always so on point!!! Love you 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

[@charlottebellas4166]

Oh my gosh, Who’s Afraid sounds SO GOOD on acoustic guitar - and not something we are likely to hear from TS anytime soon since it’s in the TTPD set. Would love to hear you play the whole song Nena!!

Yeeeahhh my favourite 😭💓 Nena, thank you so much for your tutorials and play alongs. I love it sooooo much😍❤️‍🔥 thank you for the lyrics! It’s more convenient now to play and sing together🥰
I think that your tutorial are the best. I have TikTok where I play some songs with your chords and people ask me about chords etc and I always recommend your channel!!!
I remember that Fsus2 was so hard for me and I didn’t understand how you play it😂 Now my play upgrades and I don’t need to watch tutorials, I can play any song just from play along😭🙏😍❤️ love you girl 😘
Please could you say what string do you use?

[@MaddieMcDonald-fk8qo]

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

Taylor Swift track looks very straight forward to play. I struggle a bit with Metal band tracks on the guitar. Iron Maiden - Wasted Years and Iron Maiden - Alexander The Great, are really difficult on acoustic and electric.

[@DrTaylorSwift]

LOVED YOU ON TAYLOR SWIFT HOCKEY BRO’S LIVE STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💜💜💜

[@sir_shay_juak]

Loveeee

[@cre8iveflare]

Someone needs to send that intro to Taylor cos you sound amazing.

[@VisualMind]

Now that she's performed it live, can you do a video about guilty as sin? I tried to play it with the chords from ultimate guitar but it sounded wrong. She definitely used different chords as she used a capo so I'd love to know how she played the song! You videos are very appreciated 😊

[@cucazita]

Nenaaaaaaaaa!!! 🤩 thank you thank you thank you thank youuuuuuuuu for making this easy enough for my 40yo clumsy hands. 😂 thank you! 🤍
