Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team” offers a distinct experience for guitar players of all levels. It’s a wonderful song illustrating the artist’s mastery in storytelling and raw folk-pop energy. The song is characterized by a simple pattern throughout, making it an excellent piece for beginners to tackle and also for the seasoned guitarist who appreciates a good, solid rhythm.

The guitar work is essentially designed around the primary chords of G, D/F#, Em, and C, but it’s Sheeran’s fingerpicking style and the melodic rhythm that he maintains throughout the track that really makes it unique. What’s more interesting is, the gentle strumming pattern allows for embellishments or variations, allowing players to give their own interpretation to the song. So, whether you’re a newbie or a pro, “The A Team” will definitely bring out something new in your guitar playing style.
