  • Five hours before singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran was scheduled to take the stage at the gargantuan SAP Center in San Jose, California, he sauntered into the arena’s backstage area to perform a note-perfect acoustic version of his hit song "Thinking Out Loud" for Acoustic Guitar magazine's online series 'AG Sessions.' He also spoke with AG editor Mark Segal Kemp about his love of Van Morrison and Martin Guitars.

    Really good interview. I've noticed that in most interviews, the interviewers focus a lot on him as a person, his friendship with Taylor Swift, and forget or ignore the fact that his job is making music. Where as in this one, if was straight on influences, songwriting, touring, etc. I really liked that. Definetly going to watch more of the acoustic guitar magazine videos now!

    I don't think there's a modern-day pop musician who's more comfortable with a guitar than Ed Sheeran. His voice is amazing, and his guitar skills are insane. He's so naturally talented and he works so hard as well.

    I'm a Van fan from the 70's and even though he was inspired alott by Van, the tune still sounds uniquely his.
    I would insanely love to see Van and Ed do a duet on this and one of Vans.
    Van should invite him to a live gig. No shit.

    Tuning down the guitar definitely helps us all last a little longer while playing live gigs. Ed sings a whole bunch of songs down a half or maybe a whole step and the average person most likely never notices the difference. A true artist this guy, and a great songwriter.

    @tybrady64 Před 4 lety

    Left home at 16 to busk. How cool is that! He must have had a huge urge to play. He’s still playing for people, only the “tips” are more and he has other people organize everything for him. I wonder if he misses some aspects of busking? The spontaneity or freedom to just set up and play where you want when you want.
