Ed Sheeran is the type of artists that proves that it's not about the complexity of the guitar chords and progression but the vibes and lives we put it in the lines and melodies.❤❤❤
Ed Sheeran wasn't born a great singer. It takes an astronomical level of practice and commitment most aren't willing (or able, i.e. lack of time due to work) to commit to.
@@bedtimestories1065 While we might be at risk of discussing semantics (what is talent?") We can agree that the voice quality itself is an advantage and a blessing.

@@Mikimon JAJAJA si es cierto! Con eso también me demuestra que el cantante no nace sino aprende a cantar pero creo que si es mucha disciplina y dedicación
Tune your voices into the chords you play(strum the chord and match your voice to it) the same as you tune a guitar and practice for voice strength and smooth transition... It'll take alot of practice to get this good but everyone can improve their voices and sing. Top guy for the lesson... He just taught us almost all of his songs in 30 seconds... What a legend... Nice to see someone still makes me smile... Nice voice bro ❤️🙏❤️
Then once you learn you can move that same shape up and make an A and move it up a bit more and you can make a G and so on. Barre chords sound well better 👍
For anyone struggling with the F chord, instead of doing a full barre F you can just do a half barre F where the tip of your index finger plays the first fret of the B and high E strings, you’ll strum from the D string down instead of starting on low E. You’re taking the bass F and Bb out of the chord but it’s still an F chord and trust me those bass notes won’t be missed by like 90% of people. I first learned to play F that way in Future Days by Pearl Jam and since then I’ve played every F chord that way because barre chords hurt my wrist (climbing injury). Alternatively you could just transpose it to the key of G and play G, D, Em, C. It sounds a little different but it’s the same I, V, vi, IV progression, but way easier to play imo. And to replace his Dm (ii) you would just play Am.
To everyone commenting on the difficulty of the "F" chord: You can play an F chord by taking the two lower fingers of the C chord and moving them up one string. Edit for clarity: moving your fingers up, meaning pitch. So move each finger to the next smaller string.
@@OdaKa My bad. I was picturing moving the fingers to the E and A strings and creating a G something 😂 Maybe because I think of literally going “up one string” Thanks for clarifying
I love that he uses a 00 (concert/grand concert body) guitar. It’s such a unique and balanced sound that doesn’t swallow up everything with the base notes like a dreadnaught.
The number of chords doesn't matter. A great painter can make a great piece of art with one color. I'm not a fan of Ed's but he's obviously gifted at songwriting and performing. I bet he could make a compelling song with one chord and a lot of people would love it.
As good as a way of looking at it like this, being that it may be talented or skill to write or make a song using only four chords. Ed Sheeran isn't a genius by any stretch, nor is he a very good songwriter
Chords do matter. His songs are simple, catchy and popular, but doesn't make him a good song writer. Will his songs that sound as simple as many of the other popular songs out there using similar four chords progressions, be as popular or remembered in 30-40 years ?
@@prospectnyc Thats just not true. The Beatles, especially during their time, changed music, they experimented, and tried different sounds, their songwriting was very very very good, and they were very consistent. Ed Sheeran every album sounds borderline the same, it's not unique, it's very basic, you could get a song from 1 albun and put it in another and no one would blink an eye. A Day In The Life is better than anything Ed Sheeran could possibly do. It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about

Though I might prefer
I-V-(V#°-vi)-IV

And if we’re being honest, most mainstream rock / alternative music is just as simple as pop music. It just has guitars in it lol.
@@RubixNoob1993 also if you have so much “passion” for music then why wouldn’t you want to appreciate as many different types of it as you possibly can? Don’t get me wrong I love sitting down and listening to stupid polyrhythms and weird production elements but there’s plenty of great songwriting and production to appreciate in the pop world.
@@postmalort9267 I try not to gatekeep, but my original comment does come off that way. When I was younger it was a problem, but my kids enjoy pop and I don’t want to sway them one way or another so I keep my mouth shut about it. I definitely enjoy some as well, butt rock is a guilty pleasure so you’re right about that, but prog metal is my typical go-to.
Mastery is in simplicity
Great quote!
I was born and raised in a Spanish speaking country. I am 40 years old. I closed my eyes, and this is top 5 Spanish voices I’ve heard in my life. Along with Reik, Sin Bandera, Miguel Bose, Rafael and Julio Iglesias.

Proof right there that pop music requires a few months of practise on a guitar
There's literally hundreds of chords or different versions of chords and pop artist use only 4
Hundreds of chords ????? Ok
@@damianchallis9214 different variations of chords yes
Not just your typical a minor
B minor
C minor ect ect
You can add variations to every chord to change them so there is probably over 100 I haven't done the maths but more than likely
That guitar is sounding so soothing.
Me encanta 😍
Su español suena perfecto que¡¡
Two more chord than the Beatles used 😂
Lmao
🙄you ok mate?
"He's such an INCREDIBLY GREAT 🎶 MUSICIAN!!*❤
I like that Ed Sheeran is humble about his guitar skills. He knows he’s primarily a singer-songwriter, not a guitarist
This is an artist that even if you don't like his music, you can't help but respect him and you know he's a genuine good dude. 👍👍👍
Ed: *i only ever use 4 chords*
***proceeds to use a 5th chord***
