I really hope people understand this is not him being "talented" or "iconic", it's about popular songs being written using the same progression. The fact that they fit so well around the same chords is the reason why they are so catchy.

Pop guitarist plays 4 chords in front of millions of people. Jazz guitarist plays millions of chords in front of four people

[Tammygranstaff]

Jazz musicians doing this: I can play you any jazz song in 449 chords

I'm more impressed that he can confidently sing the lyrics of any song without pausing for a second

[slmont]

He understands the simplicity. Reason why he milked the UK charts for a while lol

It doesn't say something about Ed Sheeran, but more so about the simplicity of most hit songs. It's a formula.

[jaykay]

He’s telling them “look it’s not hard every song is four chords” and then shows them how easy it is and they respond with “amazing that’s incredible” 😂😂

[holeefuk]

The legendary G, D, Em, C, that can fit to most any pop songs

[TheRockarm]

Okay “any song in the pop charts today” ThE bEaTlEs

[dfrenchorn]

It's more impressive that he remembers lyrics than it is that humans are stuck in four chords

[BenNeill-obmb]

The fact that he had the confidence to let them pick any song and know the words and rhythm is amazing

[jasons]

I can play any song in the charts right now:

Requests Let it be 1970.

[orangecatactually]

The Beatles using that specific chord progression for their last chart-topper was just the beginning of an era to come.

[mrose]

He’s illustrating the simplicity of pop music…

[sparkz]

as a guitarist i can tell you, just about any guitarist can

[rollercoaster]

What a legend, his concert was amazing, highly recommend hearing him live ;)

[xko]

Ed: anything on the charts right now.
Reporter: beetles.

[ahwork]

Em, G, C, D .. thats all you need :)

The secret here is to listen to all famous and classic songs, 'cause they all have one thing in common, they were all written with just simple minor or major chords.
Also study about basic guitar or music
theory. Ed Sheeran made it look so effortless here, but you all gotta remember, he is an artist. This "crap" didn't just come to him overnight, like eveything else in this world if you wanna get good at something you gotta put on some hard work. Anything worth studying and mastering takes a long time.
The main point here is, you gotta work hard for it, period ! 😂😅

Every jazz musicians feels this way about pop. It’s nice to see someone who gets it
