Released in 2014, “Shake It Off” has become really popular (…inescapable!!) and having seen lots of NoobNoters searching for “Taylor Swift” I thought I’d do the one I’ve heard 🙂
It’s a relatively simple song format to play, it’ll be a case of learning a handful of basic melodies and repeating them at the right time. The chorus octave jump offers an interesting challenge to beginners – enjoy!
