  • Welcome to my "Perfect" Easy Guitar Lesson + Tutorial, by Ed Sheeran. This simple strumming version is one of the easiest songs on guitar. It uses 4 basic chord shapes (the most common chord progression) and the strumming pattern is all downs, making it very easy to follow along with. I teach the fingerpicking in another tutorial which you can find here - Perfect Easy Fingerstyle: • "Perfect" Guitar Tutor...
    "Perfect" CHORDS: G, C, D, Em (optional: D/F#)
    "Perfect" STRUMMING PATTERN: ddd Ddd ddd Ddd

    The lesson begins with the easiest chord shapes on guitar: G, C, D, Em. We learn how to play them and we practice switching between them using downstrokes only, just so we can count out the chords for the right amount of time.
    The strumming pattern for this one is very simple: It's all downstrokes. What's important is that we accent beats two and four. This is great for building up your sense of rhythm.
    Once we've mastered the chord progression and strumming separately, we put them together and we play through the verse nice and slow.
    All that's left now is to learn the chorus. For the most part, it's a super easy chord progression. There is one bit at the end where we have to strum a few chords in a row using one stroke each. We go over that separately and then we integrate it with the other progression and we play through the chorus together.
    Finally we discuss how to play through the entire song.
    If you'd like to practice the entire song with me, there's a full playthrough available on my Patreon page, where I play through the entire song, start to finish. More information on that here: / 58833359

    💻 Check out James' Guitar Course To Learn Guitar Once-And-For-All: goodguitarist.com/beginner-guitar-course/
    So many songs use this progression. Have you found any others that you'd like to learn?

      hey, thanks alot for the tutorials, i wanted to ask if u can make a tutorial for Promised Neverland lulebay fingerstyle. I found this simplifeid tab, but maybe a video explaining how to play it would be nice: czcams.com/video/-H4Z11xAqY4/video.html
      Also, when i play on my guitar i sometimes feel my strings sound diffrent, deeper if thats the word, however they are all tuned, does that mean my strings are diffrent or am i supposed to over tune them ?
      Thanks alot, and sorry if its too much :)
