Perfect Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Perfect chord chart by Ed Sheeran. I really like this guy as he has some pretty cool tunes and this one if no exception. What great about this song is it uses my 4 simple chords!!!!!
If you’re having trouble with your chord changes, check out my 4 easiest guitar chords for beginners.
Now something important to mention about this song is that the timing is in 6/8. This means we are going to count to 6 instead of 4 when we are strumming. This also gives the song a swaying waltz feel to it.
