What is the strumming pattern for the a team by ed sheeran?

Answer 1

Intro - G C G C G C G G/F#

The verses are - G G/F# Em, C G

(Play the C & G chords at the lines such as 'burnt lungs, sour taste')

Chorus - Am C G D/F# (From 'And they say...' to 'The worst things in life come free to us')

Then continue with Em G C

Play the D/F# & Em at 'angels to fly' G C, Em at 'angels to fly' then G C G G/F#

Bridge - Am C Em G/F# G Am C Em

instrumental bit C G D/F#

Last chorus - Just the same A C G D/F#,

Em G C just repeat until the last line where you play D/F# & G

Sorry if I've confused you but if you play along with the song, you'll understand :)

Answer 2

Im trying to figure it out too, but one thing I can tell you is that to me it seems that theres no real strumming, it sounds like hes finger picking and hitting the strings with his palm, not much but that might help.

Answer 3

It's basically just guitar.
