Hey everyone! In this easy acoustic lesson, we're going to teach you how to play Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran, a basic 4-chord song that is very repetitive and great for beginners.
This Shape of You easy guitar lesson will show you the basic chords lyrics and strumming pattern. We will also learn the barre chord version of this song, which gives you more control, but requires a bit more technique.

We start out by showing you how to play it with a capo, using basic chords (Am, Dm, G and "little" F) and then add a strumming pattern.
After that, we show you how to play it with barre chords, which gives you a few more options as far as the "feel" of the song is concerned.
We finish it off by showing you several ways you can "spice up" the tune - changing the way we strum the chords (and even how to play a rhythmic bassline).
I hope you enjoy the lesson - see ya next week!
