[@micalious9967]

this is the easiest tutorial I found but you don't talk about the strumming patterns much and being a beginner I found this quite confusing. Would it be possible for you to put the strumming pattern in your future videos? if so I would find that very helpful.

[@gideonshutman4073]

by far my favorite tutorial of "The A Team" by ed sheeran

[@judahjohnson]

You are a really patient and instructive teacher. Thank you for taking the time to teach people for free and sharing music with others.

[@jrschannel7]

Wow, this is the best teaching guitar video I have ever seen! It's very easy to understand and I can play it competently within 1 hour :D Very good job, keep making video like this :D Thanks!

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

+Trường Đặng Trọng Thank you!

[@sachseo.5530]

Couldnt agree more. "Karate chop" :)

[@joekelvaneenknoepert1302]

Jack Spoter same, if did it within the vid AMAZING job man

[@jeremydankiw5178]

Steve is definitely one of my favorite teachers. You know right away when you find a winner. He simply causes you to relax and not worry about it too much. I believe that’s his strongpoint because it allows you to feel the music and not force it. Very important. Also being taught the right chords and theory is key.

[@MrSister127]

It's a great tutorial, but I've found it really helpful if the very first thing you do is play through the song a little, and then break it down, this is what martysongs does and I find him to be the best youtube teacher around

[@JYLEDH]

Well different things work best for different people

[@domonkeykaka]

Thanks Steve. Great lesson and perfect timing. Having practiced this song all week with my daughter, I got to hear Ed play it live at the AFL Grand Final yesterday (Sep 27 2014)!

[@123mikellevi]

Best instructional video I have seen. Thanks!!

[@grooveman213]

love this tutorial. I like how it's broken down piece by piece, I learned this in literally a couple hours thanks

[@lorileibrandi8534]

wow thanks! this helped a whole lot. wish you were my dad... im the only one in my family who plays any instruments ((guitar,piano, and flute))

[@jacksonpearson124]

You cant go saying you wish that he was your dad, you have no respect for your dad

[@lorileibrandi8534]

nope i dont

[@10subham]

Lorilei Brandi Insane -_-

[@Kubaaano]

Jack Pearson Might be a reason for that, try to be more considerate

[@matthewmcquistion8639]

Lorilei Brandi I could be your brother and we could play together 😜😆😂

[@kpidwc7]

Really appreciate how when youre explaining chords like the c add 9 how you say that its basically a g moved down and things like that, its much easier i think to think that way!

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

+kpidwc7 Thank you!

[@Skoogles]

Best guitar lesson video I've ever seen. So comprehensive and thorough, a complete beginner on guitar only got it last week and can already play this almost flawlessly. Thank you, liked and a well deserved subscription

[@tomka13tv85]

The strumming pattern for those of you who don't know is annoying at first but can easily be done. It is in 4/4 time. He starts with a root strum for the first beat, a strum on beat two that is tied to the third. The end of the measure ends with - up down up- for the and of three, four and the and of four (+ 4 +). It looks like this if you are familiar with it- Root 2-3 + 4 + (The root is beat 1). Try reading this while listening/watching him^ play. The only difference is that Steve plays it with a strum on the two AND the and of two. It sounds good how he plays it but i believe that it is played the way I said above. Do whatever sounds good to you. :) Also note that the root strum is on the low E string (the 6th string).

[@Krazorr]

cant you just say Down Up Down up etc

[@markg8125]

***** He's batman

[@tomka13tv85]

Ok, Root down up down up. The thing is the timing though. That's part of what I was explaining above.

[@Big_Fern]

+Batt Mann thanks for this :) made the strumming a lot easier to understand

[@johnathandouglas495]

By far one of the most well explained tutorials I've watched, thank you for you hard work and determination/dedication to help people play better

[@nicholask9251]

Nice explanation and very easy to follow. Thank you.

[@jay-rtolentino8691]

Thank you for this tutorial! I believe I am pretty late in learning how to play the guitar (as I am 22 years old, was never able to play a full song properly) but for a beginner like me, you were able to explain the process and how to just enjoy playing. I am very greatful for this, and this helped me learn my first guitar song! (I haven't mastered it yet but I think I sound good for a beginner because of this tutorial) Thank you! Please continue making tutorials like this!

[@Tn089-b6g]

it's never too late to learn. You got this dude

[@jean-jacquestheron9561]

You really have a great way of teaching you're tutorials is awesome

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

Thank you! Guitarzoom

[@MangoPersona]

im pretty young and I want to start to learn how to play this song, I really do and thanks! I'll try my best on this tutorial, this is the easiest one

[@greatgrandpabob8717]

nice

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

+Teddylirious Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@elcharlyramirez]

hola!!

[@isaacsanchez5887]

Teddylirious have you got it yet?

[@CelistChow]

You're a great tutor!!! So helpful!

[@fuzzywuzzyblue4449]

the strumming pattern in the beginning is done by hitting the sixth string pluck down strum and then a full strum down, full strum up, sixth string pluck down, full strum up, full strum down, full strum up. so ddududu.

[@amypaul6429]

Your videos really helped me, you take it step by step unlike others. Thank you

[@crime-in-sight]

You're a great teacher! I totally agree with what you said about Ultimate Guitar as I found I was just staring at the chords and not thinking. Also, thanks for explaining the palm mute technique as I know that Sheeran uses it a lot but had no idea how to play it and couldn't find any videos that explained it effectively. So thanks!

[@stephcalvert1765]

Thanks!! You really take the time to go through every step of the song, very helpful!!

[@albertoassassins34]

Great video! In my case (I'm an amateur) the most difficult part former is the strumming pattern and how to make that guitar noise, not the chords, and you've explained very nicely. Well done

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

Thank you! Steve

[@BimoTriWahono95]

[@91Mufasa]

wspaniałe!! thank you sooo much from Poland :) Beautiful chords ;)

[@danobrien883]

I really like the way you broke down everything to make it east to understand...I'm a beginner and I'm a huge fan of ed and I hope you do more videos on eds songs because if you did i think id be able to play his songs much easier because of how you explain the steps. I learned the a team in one day because of how you explained it. Great video. Hope to see more songs by ed posted by you soon.

[@xdethharmonicx]

Yeah this was like getting a one on one lesson from you. I really enjoyed this video. I'm 28 and i started playing guitar at 15 but i played metal like Metallica, pantera, and slayer in my youth. Death metal after that. Thinking once ive mastered those i could play anything!!! lol but i didn't know any chords! It was all tab. So once i got older and decided i wanted to be the front man and had to sing! I had to learn chords and new songs. Its a lot harder than i thought. You where very informative and described the learning process very well. Thanks and keep it up bro! Appreciate it.

[@aguy4605]

You explain better than anyone mate ;) Thanks :D

[@jasminerose2608]

[@davidtarun3284]

Awesome Sir.Wondering if you'd consider doing a detailed lesson of Ed Sheeran's Lego House.Thanks...:)

[@fatmooselips3110]

You're really helpful

[@TheMetheman1]

as with what alot of people have said... i thinkkk you could do with slowing down on the strumming pattern... but other than that i think one of the easier lessons on this song to understand :)

[@Sammywhammy773]

really good video man.

[@queenb2621]

I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for this tutorial Sir! It was really really helpful! I really love this song:) Keep it up!

Youre great thnx

[@mauriciocarlos6376]

Perfect Video!!!!! =D

[@oliscott8935]

The 110 people who disliked this must have had their iPad upside-down

[@lukegonano3956]

I don't know why everyone needs a strum pattern.... when you play along you can listen to it and get to know it... You gotta feel it

[@alexshepherd4233]

luke gonano this actually does make sense. if you just think real hard and feel the song and play along to it, it actually helps get the strumming down. have done it that way many times.

[@lukegonano3956]

Alex Shepherd yeah I find it a lot easier. If you are generally into the song you already know the pattern so to speak

[@danieljames500]

luke gonano but for early beginners who aren't that good yet at figuring out strumming patterns it's nice. i remember when i was starting i really liked ppl giving the strumming patterns. later then i got used to different strumming patterns and then after a while i could figure out my own patterns

[@lukegonano3956]

Daniel Tober eh we are all different

[@ayaadjie8921]

luke gonano because i and a lot of people can't

[@meliiora]

Thank you so much, it really helped me! But isn't it {Am Am C C G G DF# DF#}the 3th time you play the Pre-Chorus or isn't the DF# DF# included?

[@meliiora]

3rd

[@rickbragonje4975]

Thanks man, the song works out for me, it works just keep trying people

[@GuitarSongsChannel]

Thank you Rick!
