Thinking Out Loud Pt.2 - Solo


"Thinking Out Loud Pt.2 - Solo" is a solo guitar arrangement drawn from Ed Sheeran's hit "Thinking Out Loud," originally recorded for his 2014 album ×. Written by Sheeran and Amy Wadge, the song is known for its smooth, soulful feel inspired by classic soul and R&B. Learning this solo version on electric guitar is a great way to develop fingerpicking, melodic phrasing, and expressive dynamics in a musical, song-based context.

  • The original "Thinking Out Loud" was the third single released from Ed Sheeran's second studio album, × (2014).
  • Co-written with Amy Wadge, the song showcases chord melody playing that translates naturally to a solo electric guitar arrangement.
  • Producer Jake Gosling, a frequent Sheeran collaborator, shaped the warm, clean tone that makes this piece approachable for electric guitarists.
