Really good interview. I've noticed that in most interviews, the interviewers focus a lot on him as a person, his friendship with Taylor Swift, and forget or ignore the fact that his job is making music. Where as in this one, if was straight on influences, songwriting, touring, etc. I really liked that. Definetly going to watch more of the acoustic guitar magazine videos now!
This is like the best interview ever. He asked amazing questions really trying to see the soul of the artist and the source of his muse. Instead of those bubble gum lame pop questions most interviewers ask these days.
Tuning down the guitar definitely helps us all last a little longer while playing live gigs. Ed sings a whole bunch of songs down a half or maybe a whole step and the average person most likely never notices the difference. A true artist this guy, and a great songwriter.
He’s a top guy and couldn’t wish for a better ambassador of our country and music. Well done Ed you’ve smashed it and deserve it. From a fan in Leeds , West Yorkshire not far from your birthplace,
I don't think there's a modern-day pop musician who's more comfortable with a guitar than Ed Sheeran. His voice is amazing, and his guitar skills are insane. He's so naturally talented and he works so hard as well.
+Keaton Reinitz John bugs people though, he ruined what talent her has by being a mega douche. Everyone loves Ed, even black people dig Ed - go read the comments under the Breakfast Club interview.
these days so rare to see a performer like this ..im a performer too...but rolling that camera and to show the world that he never use any effect or mic...just raw and dry..and still he perform like this .... perfect.no autotune....real voice...real talent ..salute
I'm a Van fan from the 70's and even though he was inspired alott by Van, the tune still sounds uniquely his. I would insanely love to see Van and Ed do a duet on this and one of Vans. Van should invite him to a live gig. No shit.
Yeah i did the same thing lol, saw it in person and it really is fucking tiny. Im gonna get a taylor 314 or maybe something better, depending on how much i wanna fuck my bank account.
Left home at 16 to busk. How cool is that! He must have had a huge urge to play. He’s still playing for people, only the “tips” are more and he has other people organize everything for him. I wonder if he misses some aspects of busking? The spontaneity or freedom to just set up and play where you want when you want.
I am looking at a used one, but I think I want a full sized guitar. I already have a Baby Taylor, but I have big hands and I like my bigger guitars. But, man, I love that song and have to learn it!
LoL as a music producer i know that things loop around your head even when you try to go to bed .. it must be hard singing the same songs all the time ...
Ed Sheeran, has natural talent. He's playing in simple dropped D. Just wished that players, and songwriter's, did more than over simple pop ditties. Everything sounds like a Boy Band extravaganza. Ed has more promise than that, at least. And does show a pure love for playing the guitar. At least he doesn't want, or need a pitch corrector. Best of luck to Ed Sheeran.
This guy ha REAL TALENT THANK GOODNESS... WE STILL HAVE ARTIST LIKE THIS !!!!!! With SO MUCH PLASTIC MUSIC, IT'S REFRESHING TO HEAR a SIMPLE SONGWRITER, THAT CAN ACTUALLY WRITE A SONG WITH AN INSTRUMENT Aand NOT COMPUTERS !!!!!! BRAVO ED SHEERAN !!!!!!!!... YOU HAVE REAL TALENT
"I've been really tryin' baby, tryin' to hold back these feelings for so long. And if you feel, like i'm feeling baby, come on, let's get it on" #samesong #mashup Let's Get it on by Marvin Gaye
@@mgray7927 Nonsense. Whenever a popular musician gets caught ripping off a legend, there's always some clown who comes on here saying, actually, the legend's stuff wasn't original, Marvin Gaye stole the riff from so and so, it's all very common, blah blah blah. Man, shut up. Marvin Gaye was a total original, that's why he's so often stolen from. While it's true there are commonalities in popular music, anyone half with a brain can listen and see 'Let's Get It On' sounds nothing like 'Georgy Girl' and 'Thinking Out Loud' sounds exactly like 'Let's Get It On.' So kindly piss off. Cheers.
It's not a shock that he sounds as good live to me, it's a shock that most "artists" now don't. Get a failed model in a studio for a few hours and let a producer make them sound good is the new industry standard. Sad times for music.

+DawgFL are u him lol?
Should have gone to specsavers
DawgFL Oh my god hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHA
wish the camera would focus only on his hands. why zoom on his face when hes playing? we're all here for the guitar
Uh, I'm not. I'm here to see his face, so speak for yaself
Give me the chords once and for all!
Mitch Manta yes we’re
Mitch Manta I an here for ed Sheehan
David Andersson there’s tons of tabs online though
ED SHEERAN IS THE ONE WHO NEVER HAD EGO
True
And he sings like an angel
I think it's because he has overcome stuttering in his life ...
Sombody says that ed is a guitar hero, hell no
He does in a way everyone has ego only his is not selfish..
Don't you just love how he sounds like his recorded tracks even when it is live.
Yeah, he is just amazing
Guys has so much talent
That's what good singer/ songwriters do and have done for decades hence Paul Simon, James Taylor Johnny Cash, Dylan etc etc etc
Glad Ed got a Grammy for this song. It's timeless . People of all ages love it and ask us to play it at gigs.
I hate this song
really man
Starman Tumbleweed screw you. if you think this song is bad, you clearly have no taste in music
10:44 sweetest sound ever :D
Kevin Justin I got an add when I pressed that

There is no one better that deserves the fame and recognition than Ed sheeran. He’s talented embraces his quirks and is humble!! No auto tune
I totally agree
Tuning down the guitar definitely helps us all last a little longer while playing live gigs. Ed sings a whole bunch of songs down a half or maybe a whole step and the average person most likely never notices the difference. A true artist this guy, and a great songwriter.
This guy is live almost better than on his album!!!😱😱😱
I think you mean he is better live ;)
Listen John Mayer's Neon sometime :)💎🙌
Myron D'cunha Go listen to Ian Thornley.
Real musicians are supposed to be better live.
Myron D'cunha yea Mayer is a lot better guitarist he’s up there. I have more students that want me to teach them neon then anything else
He’s a top guy and couldn’t wish for a better ambassador of our country and music. Well done Ed you’ve smashed it and deserve it.
From a fan in Leeds , West Yorkshire not far from your birthplace,
8:56 "I really like it" + Happy face = CUUUTE
This dude is great. Awesome songwriter/ voice. Seems like a humble dude.
I don't think there's a modern-day pop musician who's more comfortable with a guitar than Ed Sheeran. His voice is amazing, and his guitar skills are insane. He's so naturally talented and he works so hard as well.
His guitar skills are far from insane, he is a class composer though
John Mayer? Lol
+the 1975 Sure if you keep practising you'd be comfortable with whatever it is you practised with.
+Keaton Reinitz John bugs people though, he ruined what talent her has by being a mega douche. Everyone loves Ed, even black people dig Ed - go read the comments under the Breakfast Club interview.
I totally agree.
7:56 “we have a guy that glues it”
Good interview from both parties - Ed still seems grounded - long may he stay that way and he gets all the rewards that are his due.
He did alot of struggle and Hard work that's why he is today a huge name in music
this is such a good interview. :D i could listen to him talk about music for hours and not get tired of it. such a great guy.
Mia Lee yeah I’m like that as well his knowledge of music is just incredible 🎵🎤🎸m
these days so rare to see a performer like this ..im a performer too...but rolling that camera and to show the world that he never use any effect or mic...just raw and dry..and still he perform like this .... perfect.no autotune....real voice...real talent ..salute
really think Ed is the real deal. just bought his martin X signature really great guitar for gigging
One of the couple of singers that sound good live and studio!
I love how this interview really focuses on the making, influence of his music! so cool :)
I'm a Van fan from the 70's and even though he was inspired alott by Van, the tune still sounds uniquely his.
I would insanely love to see Van and Ed do a duet on this and one of Vans.
Van should invite him to a live gig. No shit.
If you watch this full set the guitar playing is amazing. This guy will be around for a long time.
Newton Faulkner is even more amazing on the geetar
What a couple of fukn chords hahahaha wow mate u ain't heard proper guitar playing son??
Oh, I love Ed Sheeran!!! There's really no one like him. His music is just fabulous, gorgeous, beautiful, wonderful, awesome!!!!
That man has a gift!
Ed Sheeran is the cutest thing, I stg.
I love his guitar, i want it lol
Hand off bitch ass nukka, I want that sheeit
Yeah i did the same thing lol, saw it in person and it really is fucking tiny. Im gonna get a taylor 314 or maybe something better, depending on how much i wanna fuck my bank account.
Anybody know where i can buy it ? xD
***** i have no idea what gc is :p
markus jorgensen gc is guitar center, lol
He knows the rythm and the guitar its awesome to watch him
Thank you for posting this. It's one of the best interviews with Ed.
im not a fan of most pop music but i find ed sheeran very humble and nice. great guy lol
This kid's got potential.
you’re joking right
2:13
Lmaoooo if you turn in the captions, it says: “Danny man hard super legs hard 23”.😂😂
Wtf😂😅🤣
Him and weeknd should do a whole album together. Acoustic guitar with 80s drums and their almost raw vocals
This exact video made me fall in love with guitar and made me a huge ed fan
Great interview! Loved the choice of questions
Fantastic interview from the host.
Love that guitar
Left home at 16 to busk. How cool is that! He must have had a huge urge to play. He’s still playing for people, only the “tips” are more and he has other people organize everything for him. I wonder if he misses some aspects of busking? The spontaneity or freedom to just set up and play where you want when you want.
Guitar is tuned full step down btw
I honestly should have looked that up I've been playing the song for 2 months and it's always sounded a bit off
Actually 1 tone
That's why I always wondered why does it sound different when i play the same chords. - Thanks :)
A full tone down because this in the key of C major and the studio version is in D major.
Someone know the chords please?
Definitiv einer der größten Musiker unserer Zeit
Acoustic is the best cause it is original
hahaha "but we got a dude who glues it so its cool" what a legend
What I love about Ed Sheehan is he is so humble. Take example Sam smith, I'm not saying he's bad but you can tell when someone is naughty. You know?
+Isai Hernandez Totally. Ed is the sweetest. So refreshing! Walks the talk of his lyrics...
Isai Hernandez The majority of people that have met both actually say Sam is more humble.
Cause he knows deep down he's shit
And dont even talk about JB .. uhh! Ed is the best
HarryH TF you seriously believe ed is good?
The only singer better live than on the album wtf hes amaze
+iChaos Yt Try Dallas Green
***** Jheezz he is good, thanks for the comment dude !
+iChaos Yt nah john mayer
ikr!!
Liam Holland Robert plant
Love ed sheeran music
This is the sort of stuff that you are born with. Raw talent and a local lad ITFC
what a nice performance
Pause at 5:13 ...definitley a Martin!!
Love the song and how he's playing the guitar!
It would've been nice if they made multiple copies of Ed Sheeran's edition of the Martin 00-28vs and sold them to the public lol
Or atleast a 00-28vs with a closed headstock
Would love to have that guitar!
I am looking at a used one, but I think I want a full sized guitar. I already have a Baby Taylor, but I have big hands and I like my bigger guitars. But, man, I love that song and have to learn it!
Me too.
Yes.
I really liked this interview. His knowledge of music is just amazing and he knows what to do and he still stays true to himself 👍
Bola Oladapo I mean he like follows his heart when it comes to music not just trying to be the same as everyone else that’s why we love him
he must be so tired of preforming this song
+John Horne Guitar - Video Resources
I'm tired of you bitch
he mentions in an interview how he doesnt get tired of his songs because their all written from a emotional and sentimental place in his heart.
I'd never get tired if hearing this song and i dont think he gets tired of performing this bc he always looked passionate singing.
Paul McCartney still sings 'Yesterday' and he wrote that 52 years ago.
LoL as a music producer i know that things loop around your head even when you try to go to bed .. it must be hard singing the same songs all the time ...
He played for the troops in Afghanistan... that's pretty awesome.
Could you imagine him playing for the Taliban? Now, that would be something.
Somkit huh?
awesome? wtf are they doing there in the first place?
@@sullivansongz protecting you bro
Xelric And he played you need me i dont need you, seems pretty ironic dont you think
Awesome, now all i need is a separate vid for the song itself so i can @ this 2 my playlist :)
Just crazy talented.
My favorite artist
Not 15 but after 9 years he released a fully acoustic album which is probably the best of his work🔥
Great interview, Mark. Great sound quality & nicely done song. Nice job, fellas!..
i would do anything to have that guitar omg its beautiful
Really talented guy!
THE VIDEO INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY SHOWING ED'S FINGERSTYLE AND WAY TO PLAY THE GUITAR DOES ZOOM IN INTO HIS FACE... CMON!!!!
Ed's got talent.. nothing wrong with the morrison redo it can't be beat.
I love this man
What an artist
He is better live.Pure talent♥️♥️
Ed reminds me of a young Van Morrison, sounds great.
Ed Sheeran, has natural talent. He's playing in simple dropped D. Just wished that players, and songwriter's, did more than over simple pop ditties. Everything sounds like a Boy Band extravaganza. Ed has more promise than that, at least. And does show a pure love for playing the guitar. At least he doesn't want, or need a pitch corrector. Best of luck to Ed Sheeran.
The Rhythm really reminds me of the Van Morrison song Days like this
Fantastic songwriter
Man you good at it
Longtime Van fan, Will be same Ed fan .. Fantastic song and arrangement Ed 👍👍👍
This guy ha REAL TALENT
THANK GOODNESS... WE STILL HAVE ARTIST LIKE THIS !!!!!!
With SO MUCH PLASTIC MUSIC, IT'S REFRESHING TO HEAR
a SIMPLE SONGWRITER, THAT CAN ACTUALLY WRITE A SONG WITH AN INSTRUMENT Aand NOT COMPUTERS !!!!!!
BRAVO ED SHEERAN !!!!!!!!... YOU HAVE REAL TALENT

🍻🔥🎸
The action on the guitar looks smooth as silk 👍
Great interview! Finally not just someone flirting with him, haha.
+Joe ScienceVegan yeah i noticed a lot of interviewers flirt with him, even dudes... its weird

I’m dreaming about have one of Ed Sheeran’s guitars 😍
I love his voice
Always a pleasure to watch ed play
I want to talk to you ( puts on glasses) first about thinking out loud (removes glasses with other hand)
