Guitar Lesson: Ed Sheeran - The A Team
Ideal for beginners, looking at acoustic playing or intermediates looking to improve their rhythm.
The strumming pattern for A Team is the most notoriously difficult part of the song and deserves its own little section in this guitar tutorial.
After you get the right hand strumming pattern down its time to move on and learn the chords. Its worth practising each part of the song as you learn them. Learning the intro first at a slow tempo before moving on.
After the strumming is down its a case of learning the guitar chords and piecing all the sections together. Good luck with the Ed Sheeran A Team Guitar lesson and I look forward to seeing all the awesome covers from people on this song!
The chords for the song are as follows:
Intro chords
G C
Verses chords
G C G D/f# Em C G C
Pre Chorus chords
Am7 C G D/f#
Chorus
Em C G (Changes are twice as fast here)
Bridge
Am7 C Dsus11add9 Em C G
Remember this song is perfect for beginner guitarists looking for a challenge but if your completely new head over to the website and take the beginner guitar course to get yourself up to speed on playing the guitar.
