i know this is practically in every video description i have lately, but sorry about the wait for this video! my life has been pretty busy, so uploading tutorials has had to take a backseat to some other things i have going on right now. :( not to mention that the editing process takes for3v3r! but i do still read all of your comments and want to continue making videos for as long as i can! your support means the world to me, and i hate to disappoint people.
that being said, i hope you guys will grab your guitar and learn this simplified version of how to play "thinking out loud" by ed sheeran with me! it's officially been requested for over a year now!! you guys are definitely persistent!!
like always, thanks so much for watching! :)
please don't forget to "like" and subscribe for more tutorials coming soon! love you guys!

[@lutzlos]

Hi Ellen! Thank you so much for all your tutorials. I've learned so much just from watching you. I hope you never stop making videos. Thanks a lot!

[@shawnnatalia6874]

Pleaseeeeeee do Bad blood by Taylor

[@name.7463]

Important question, I'm a beginner, just started playing a week ago. How do I play the F chord (133211) if I only have four fingers to touch the strings? It doesn't sound good because my index finger touches the two thinnest strings but not well enough to make it sound good.

[@name.7463]

***** thank you so much!!

[@ishaansood6577]

Try playing a half f bar chord. Hold your first finger on the first and second string first fret. And the rest is the same as the normal. (This is easier because u don't have to hold your first finger on all the strings but just 2) And it sounds very simmiler!

[@nyssa1005]

You're back! Yay!

[@infinitepaths]

Great lessons, you're very thorough and they're very well presented. Peace and Love!

[@lucy1UCY]

You can play it with no capo and D, D/#F, G and A

[@nickmcmennemin7370]

Thank you!

[@foodeeyasmr3415]

Tell me about it😂

[@ayladhar3066]

I'm learning that way as well. It's really hard for me but when I want to sing along and play it for fun I do it this way

[@deniprasetyo9424]

original chord = D, D/#F, G and A

[@thegta5glitchergaming761]

+Deni Prasetyo can you tell me how to do the #f chord

[@martinchristensen6786]

Man i really think that picking is alot easier than the strumming 😄

[@lewiskelly5726]

Martin Christensen other way round for me 😂😂

[@jennabaily2282]

Picking is waaaay to complex. I have to think *HARD* before actually picking the string.

[@treyalexander7256]

I cant strum for crap :( I can pick well tho

[@keechpeach2863]

Felt like I wanted to extend my lazy strumming into new fields, and settled on this video to kick off the learning. Thanks, has been a lot of fun so far and a great song to learn too! Love the way you make it all so clear with the popups, and love your singing voice too, which is lucky when one is going back and forth so much. :D

[@richardazofeifaromero]

Great! Quiet the best tutorial I have seen on KZbin ever!! Thank you very much for sharing!

[@mailer4593]

Hi Ellen! You're so talented! Can you do Photograph by Ed or I know places by Taylor Swift?

[@Preshocx]

If i don't have a capo then I won't have any take off, Love.

[@Datbaka]

loving your tutorials, keep it up :)

[@carlislenicole]

Thanks a lot for your video! It helped me a lot! Can't wait to see your other videos. :) Keep it coming and more power! :)

[@jasonj.l7155]

MARRY ME !

[@alexisdaluz5710]

You are too gorgeous

[@saipah]

i think the f chord is pretty hard... i have short fingers :( but i keep trying!

[@mepp30]

+Milou van den Doren Maybe try using the regular F chord rather than this barred F chord! Transition-wise this is a little easier, but my fingers aren't really used to the pressure you have to use to bar a chord, so it's kind of tough. Maybe the other way will work better for you! F is just kind of a harder chord in general xD I'll put it below in case you don't know it. F chord: E|-1-| B|-1-| G|-2-| D|-3-| A|-O-| e|-X-|

[@sandipdhankecha3306]

Practice is the key... and once u know the barrs then u will enjoy more playing with the bars than the open ones

[@pixelminer5880]

There's an alternate F chord thats like the C but the 2nd and 3rd fingers are moved down a string so they're on the 3rd and 4th string

[@firerypyro]

i love your videos. they are so detailed , clear and concise! thank you for teaching me guitar :D

[@zzhandles]

Loved your tutorial. Excellent as always. Thank you for making learning guitar so much easier and fun.

[@Thaliabarbie1425]

Please do she's kinda hot

[@hotterthanday]

my f chords sounds awful

[@MultiSpetter]

Thank you so much! This is such a great tutorial with the different ways of playing it :)

[@melissaradcliffe7663]

My lord the sliding thing is so difficult but you do it so well!!! It gives the feel of the song! It's brill, Ellen!

[@7tseven798]

too complicated im sorry

[@michaelsturek9513]

That is a fabulous tutorial. You're such a great teacher. The chords, words, and notes are so perfectly done. Plus, you have a sweet voice and pleasant manner. Thank you so-o-o-o much.

[@briandalby8263]

Absolutely superb as usual, both this and your Ed Sheerans Perfect tutorial have improved my finger style a lot. So thank you very much and please keep them coming

[@vinhphung]

It's amazing that you can simplify such a complicated song to play into simple patterns. Very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@grouch0]

Amazing tutorial! You're video editing is very professional and looks great. I like that you actually play the song at the end as well. Many people don't play the complete song at the end of their tutorials which makes yours that much better. 😊

Tres bien. Excellent lesson. Ed Sheeran would love your tender loving care with his song. Super take on the lesson. Thank you for helping me understand what this song is about. The ending is worth the price of the tutorial. WOW.

[@PaulOrientedotcom]

[@nicolechen3016]

Thank you so much for all the tutorials!!

[@jaewonchang4365]

excellent tutorial!! step by step, easy to difficult!! simple to detail!! YOU are the Best!!

[@navataru]

My friend plays the ukulele and he wanted to do a collaboration with me, so I learned your part and now... I'm the background guy playing exact same rhythm and strum patterns as you and he plays a nicer and jazzier version on the ukulele as the lead, it sounds really nice. I appreciate your tutorial quite a bit, I hate chords, I cannot learn or play them, but the picking pattern is what helped me out in the learning process.

[@uncleweird]

WONDERFUL!Your tutorial for this song is the best for learning! thank u very much!

[@lstraje]

so easy and well illustrated!!! thank you very much:-)

[@altheamarthinemanimtim9946]
