Even if it’s not your type of music, you cannot deny his song crafting and looping talent. Completely mastered his craft after a lot of graft from a young age.
@@maxotto9877 Any guitarist know it's not that hard. Not sure about a week practice tho. To nail that strumming pattern and do this while singing someone who can't play guitar at all will need at least 2 months of really good practice. Also, not to mention he CREATED this music. Anyone can sing wonderwall but it's not the same as Oasis making it. Right?
@@lookforthegood1Nah bro, thats just wrong. He doesn't have a big, "gifted" voice like Elvis or something, but when you listen to early stuff like A-team, it's a youthful beauty other artists just can't match
It’s true. Most pop songs and country songs use the magic four chords. However I will say that if you go and try to learn more complicated songs of his, you’ll find that there are a lot more than just those four chords. Either way, he has some serious talent and deserves everything he’s achieved.
To put it bluntly, it's not about the chords, but about the progression (order, if you may, but that's quite likely to change as you change the song) of them, associated with the melody you're singing. Of course, the chords you can use, their order and the notes you hit while singing, will always changing according with the tone of your choice. As Ed Sheeran chose G major, the chords, to put it VERY simply, are G, Em, C and D. Just transpose music as you choose the best tone for you to sing and voilá, you can roughly play and sing any song without messing up. Of course, you're limiting yourself A LOT, but it's a good thing to know, specially if you make music for money
I call it the wonderwall grip. Capo 1st fret. Full G-EM7-Cadd9-open D. You probably don't like oasis ED? Your a brilliant artist and i play a couple of your songs. Keep it rocking ED👍🏻.
You can never identify a good singer under all the autotune of today… But Ed is exactly it. His voice is an incredible gift. No autotune needed, and he’s already perfect.
Omg that dude needs a record deal! I basically only listen to 70s and 80s music. In my opinion songs of today suck. But this dudes actually really really good
Bro is actually a way better guitarist than people give him credit for because he doesn’t make songs with crazy chord progressions. The guitar for his music is a vehicle for the story not the story itself
Same with Taylor Swift. Just because lots of her songs use simple chords people say she's not a good guitarist but she's actually a fantastic rhythm guitarist. Her strumming and dynamic playing are amazing. She can make simple chords sound great. Other guitar players recognise her talent, it's usually people who don't play who just parrot things they've heard other non players say. She learned to play guitar on a 12 string at 12 years old. She can play harder chords but chooses not to for ease while singing. She uses a capo a lot and focuses more on where to bring it down, build it up, palm muting, sharp cuts in places she wants you to just hear the lyrics etc. Her Tiny Desk Concert is just her and her guitar/piano and it's brilliant. She's been using more complex chords on her last few albums and more finger picking too.
He’s really not, but that’s ok. That’s not what his vibe is about. Very gifted storyteller and great songwriter, but really, not by any measure, Is he a great guitar player.
It’s really basic playing which is what he’s trying to demonstrate. I can name virtually any modern band or guitarist who outplays him at his own game - John Mayer, Tim Henson, Fleet Foxes, Ben Folds, David Ryan Harris, Hozier, Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, Javier Reyes, Clapton, Knopfler, Isaiah Sharkey and so on. It’s fantastic to commend him for his singing and his early compositions’ influence on pop music but he has really stagnated musically these days and is undeserving of such praise from people who have no idea what great guitar playing is like, leave alone the intricate guitar work in the folk/acoustic genre he used to make music in. It’s really tired praise and is frustrating to hear from people who have no idea what they’re listening to.
Paul McCartney was my favorite singer-songwriter since he was in the Beatles. I've been an Ed Sheeran fan since he wrote A Team on Plus. When Ed released Divide, he knocked Paul into second place. Yes, Ed Sheeran is my favorite singer-songwriter! I love him, his music, his family, and his voice! It's funny that I went from Paul to Ed, and both are from the UK. ❤❤❤
he is not a guitar play ya'll. he is an entertainer- a story teller, a vocalist, and a good one. 4 chords can cover thousands of stories- lyrics are the main star.
@ConnorGaughan-do9hg Not really. Never once saw him do something like this ruclips.net/video/S33tWZqXhnk/видео.html&ab_channel=TommyEmmanuel Eddie uses a guitar as a prop to do looping and vocals. He is about as skilled as a first years Berklee student- if that.
@@MOAB-UT There are always different ways you can play guitar. Ed’s rhythm pattern in a lot of his old songs especially, is too hard to play. If he was just a normal guitarist, he wouldn’t be selling out arenas. There are countless gigs he has played without looper, and he nailed those performances! Not saying this coz I’m a fan, but as a guitarist myself, I have a huge respect for his abilities.
@@NG-bp7kn He is OK but people who say he is the best GUITAR player don't know real guitar players. Ed is great at what he does, but that is limited. It's fine though. It's not a competition. Artists and promoters sell out arenas silly. He is not there because he plays so well. My guitar instructor plays 1,000 better, more technically but he is not a popular, goofy guy who sings sappy songs that fans pay to hear. If you like that sort of thing- that's fine. I will assume you are a beginner guitar player since you are so enamored with Eddie. No real guitar player I know thinks that way.
I remember first hearing A-Team, as a kid I just thought it was a catchy song. Going back on it now I can understand and feel the lyrics more than I ever could. Such a good but sad song 😢

It was never chords that made his music. I've never listened to his music for pleasure, but people love it. There is a reason. He speaks to some. That is enough.
This is great. Eddie I wrote down an idea for a whole elaborate production. A “show” experience intertwining songs from autumn 🍂 variations & few others to tell a story & then I came back to reality & thought..yeah be a good playlist! ❤ I always think you’re great!
But for sure his guitar playing is good, strumming patterns, muting and all that he is really good. I'd be happy if I could play the guitar like him and sing (to my best abilities).
@bat-amgalanbat-erdene2621 no sry mate that is basic stuff for me Anyone who played for 1-2 years can do that easy If you say you would be happy with that you have no expertise and so your opinion has no worth sorry
I've been playing guitar for only 2 years now. Lockdown guitarist, lol. I wondered if i was doing something wrong when learning these songs. Turns out they're meant to be similar 😂. Cheers edd. 🫡
The fact that people pay good money to go to his concert and hear the same song played over and over again with slightly different corny lyrics and off-key karaoke-quality singing never ceases to amaze me
If seen him twice. He is one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I wasn’t even a fan before the first show but I was sold after. I hope you and your parents have the best time! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
It’s depressing because the trend towards using only four chords is prevalent industry wide. Today’s music listening audience is hearing a much narrower musical palate than any audience in history. The Beatles were brilliant chord-smiths, for example, and music in every decade previous to this one has had more complex chord progressions available for audiences who therefore got a much more varied musical experience. However, the availability of all the music from previous decades is much wider than ever before so as long as you listen to a lot of older music, you’re still hearing sons with more interesting chord arrangements.
