Notes

Settings and gear inferred from studio-era and live rig references for Taylor Swift's pop-rock period (2008-2009). Studio recording context for 'You Belong With Me' riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section; Telecaster and Twin Reverb are confirmed as primary tools for this era and style.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires precise timing, clean chord changes, and dynamic control to maintain the song's bright, articulate pop-country feel.
