@@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
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?
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.
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👍🏻.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 he’s actually proud that he uses the same four chords all the time just blows my mind. He says ‘four chords are all you need’. Go tell that to David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Randy Newman, Carole King, Kurt Cobain… Sheeran used the I-V-VI-IV chord progression EIGHT times on his last album. It’s frankly embarrassing at this point. Not to mention flat out boring.
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.
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!
Ed sheeran is very overrated but fair play to him. He knocks a few words and chords together and makes millions becuase people buy it. Can't blame him.
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!
All amateur college guitar players sound like him. 🤣😂🤣😂 this is proof he shouldn't be famous at all. I've heard homeless street player play better than him.
Sorry, but as much as I like music, I just can't see what people see in this bloke. It's totally a case of the kings clothes. Without social media, he'd still be singing in his bedroom like millions of others.
When he was in that Beatles movie a couple years ago and was cast as the greatest current songwriter, I kinda got turned off to him. Having listened to music over 50 years, I would consider him a mediocre writer at best Just an opinion, I know others love him
Uhh all pop music studio recordings have some level of vocal and audio processing. He can sing decent with or without for sure. It’s his guitar playing that hasn’t improved over the years and stagnated.
Wow Ed Sheeran I guess that low end Martin goes with his style . Of course home boy can buy any Martin he’ll get it for free but he chooses to play this one
But it’s funny how many people in the comments are turning in music teachers even though they don’t know a single chord 😂 Why can’t people just enjoy music without being bitter about everything? Can y’all just enjoy music? Music was made for fun… don’t take everything seriously Probably by watching it looks easy and simple, but creating a whole song from zero is the hardest thing in music….

Sheeran is not about chord progressions. Its really about his story telling. He is an amazing wordsmith and sings a short story. Amazing talent.
Ya he is f
All you need are 3/4 chords and a story

You can use these 4 Chords on every song you know just by transposing a lower or higher key and using Capodaster.
@@RainersDIY-Garageit's just pop in a nutshell
So pop is basically Nutshell by Alice in chains
When you have a voice like that doesn't matter what chords you play.
I'm an Ed Sheeran fan and to say his voice is good is baffling.
@@lookforthegood1Agree, his voice sounds like he has something stuck in his nasal passage.
It still does
The chord just add harmony effect to the amazing! singing

@@CarlJohnson-iv7sn but writing it is really damn easy too, it takes a very basic understanding of music theory
I deny it.
Ed's albums wouldn't be complete without a G, Em, C, D chord progressions in a song

Em7 too
@@just2lonelytoastsCadd9 is still a c chord
@@projectwmiccygEm7 is still an E chord though isn’t it

If you can write a song with 4 or 5 chords more power to you. Not every musician needs to be Hendrix
Showing us how you used the 1-5-6-4 progression over and over in your songs isn't a brag. It's more like an admission of guilt.
So basically what you're saying is you lack originality? Jk i like Ed
Yeah, I gotta learn to sing first
Same here lol
A real music genius in his simplicity! although, it's not so simple... hahahah
He stole these four chords from oasis😂
Beatles used this chord progressions only once in their number 1 hit songs. It shows how bigger musicians they were.
what song?
@@sbj6781 let it be
As bigger musicians they could reach more frets with their bigger hands

Almost every pop songs has these same 4 chord progressions
@@Offpuddingok Indeed
@@OffpuddingokOnly these days. Pop music used to actually be interesting. Now people have grown so used to crap that they simply accept it.
Absofreakinglutely amazing! Went to the Concert at the Empower Field in Denver with my kids and husband and hands down it was THE BEST! Thank you! 💖💖💖
So, AI isn't a threat (musically) because we like hearing the then same thing over and over again?
Lmfao remove all the studio gear, $180,000 mixing console, 200,000$ in outboard gear and you have your typical weekend restaurant singer 😂
Simplest beginner level guitar playing. Let’s see him play real music on the guitar 😂
Elvis almost exclusively played 4 chord songs, he has a few hits that were only 3 chords...
No ways ... ed sheeren !!!!!!!!!!!!!¡😮😮😅😮😅😮😅😮😮😮😮😮😮
I'm a big fan
The fact that he’s actually proud that he uses the same four chords all the time just blows my mind. He says ‘four chords are all you need’. Go tell that to David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, John Lennon, Randy Newman, Carole King, Kurt Cobain…

2:Em
3:C
4:D
