Perfect Ed Sheeran - Acoustic Solo
Ed Sheeran's song "Perfect" has an acoustic guitar solo that comes in right after the 2nd chorus. The song is in 6/8 time and I have a metronome click in the background set with the eighth note at 170 bpm (this is a little slower than the actual song). Here are a few playing tips.
1. Put a capo at fret one.
2. The notes are mostly coming from the G major pentatonic scale (relative to the capo at fret one).
3. Probably the trickiest part of the solo is the phrase that shows up about 8 seconds into the video. It is a combination of hammer-ons and pull-offs. Pluck the second fret of the third string, then hammer onto the third fret, pull-off to the second fret, and finally pull-off to the open string. Whew!
Enjoy!
