And Sheeran's certainly written more popular songs than Clapton managed
I just said Sheeran was very, very popular and has been for the best part of a decade. I didn't make any comment about 'best'
Popularity and quality are different things, and it's not a good idea to measure them in the same way.
Cant deny his mass popularity though. Again a turn off in itself.
It's not really my bag but I do wish that he'd push the songwriting a bit further than a four chord classic...he just couldn't compete in that Yesterday film*
* dude doesn't take himself too seriously either which is endearing
as we were once told in a corporate improvement program
Quality is conformance to requirements
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
But as a technical player with all the advanced techniques then no.
He chooses not to do all the widdley wang stuff, not his style, but yes, he's a great guitar player.
I've never even listened to him and I can tell you that.
How many times do you here people on here say things like "play for the song", "keep it simple", "timing is more important than..." etc. etc.
If you can express yourself to a satisfactory level and people want to listen then you can't exactly be a bad player.
A friend uploaded a screenshot of the top 20 from decades ago to Facebook recently - apart from a tune by the Jam, and an honorable mention for Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, the rest of it was honestly pish. This in a time when the most popular music was collated in very few places.
BTW - Pete Atkin and Clive James did a great send-up of JT in his maudlin days with the number "Identity Crisis Rock" on their "Live Rebel" album
Not my thing but of course he can play.

Did think he would take solo here though.
I know plenty of non musicians who would rather drown than listen to ed sheeran
Scientists confirm we are all living in Ed Sheeran's dream
OUR reality is just a dream in the mind of sleeping Ed Sheeran, it has been confirmed.
Professor Henry Brubaker said: “Ed Sheeran looks like he works part-time in an organic farm shop. There’s no way he’s a pop star. No way.
“The only explanation is the we live in a ‘Sheeran Universe’. The real Ed Sheeran, who works three days a week stacking crates of parsnips and plays Nick Drake covers in his local pub twice a month, is asleep and dreaming of pop stardom.

I'm for some reason mentally picturing someone mortally terrified as their lungs fill with water re-thinking whether a quick play-through of "bad habits" really was the worse option...
Someone's got to top the charts and he has done so consistently so fair play. Definitely defit not my thing though
This is perfect. I think Sheeran might even have a song called Perfect too
The Lightning Seeds did...
