Thinking Out Loud

"Thinking Out Loud" is a soulful ballad by Ed Sheeran, released in 2014 as the third single from his second studio album, x. Co-written with Amy Wadge and produced by Jake Gosling, the song blends warm R&B-influenced chord progressions with a smooth, understated groove. For electric guitar players, it offers an excellent opportunity to practice clean tone fingerpicking, chord voicings, and the kind of restrained, melodic playing that serves a song rather than overpowering it.

  • The song was co-written by Ed Sheeran and Amy Wadge, showcasing a collaborative songwriting approach common in modern pop.
  • Producer Jake Gosling was a frequent Sheeran collaborator, helping shape the warm, organic sound heard throughout the x album.
  • The chord progression draws on classic soul and R&B influences, making it a practical study in groove-based rhythm guitar.
