BLOW Guitar Lesson (Full Song) - Ed Sheeran

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Blow guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this hit collaboration between Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Chris Stapleton note-for-note.

The tuning is Eb tuning. That means every string is tuned down a half-step. Starting from the 6th string that is Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

"Blow" is definitely a bit more hard edged than typical Sheeran songs. It has a great energy to it and is quite fun to play. At the time of writing this, the song has just been released so there is limited information I can find, but I believe that Bruno Mars is the one playing all of the guitar parts including the solo. In fact, I think he might just play every single instrument on the track!

The main riff has a great groove to it and has a nice hook. It is relatively simple to play as well.

The main star of the show here is the solo which ramps up the difficulty level quite a bit. I will take you through this solo note-for-note. There are some great licks in there and even a cool use of a whammy pedal! #blowguitarlesson #edsheeran #guitarcovers #brunomars

Have fun! Carl...

When you hit the E string 3 things to beginning, do you have to palm mute the final hit?

I was confused I saw Ed Sheeran but in the thumbnail you had the guitar you use for heavy songs. The world is upside-down.
