Perfect by Ed Sheeran
Points to note:
Theory:
- The key is Ab major, with the capo on fret 1.
- The time signature is 12/8 time. This is a compound time signature signifying four groups of three quavers for each pulse beat.
- The tempo is 64bpm, with a dotted quaver as the main pulse.
- The chords basically follow a I, vi, VI, V progression, although the upper extensions of each chord are complicated because of the fretted B and E strings.
Technique:
- This song was recorded on an electric guitar. However, the use of fingerpicking throughout makes it an ideal song for those wishing to expand their chord repertoire using a popular song.
