How to play Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran on guitar

Tenerife Sea is a great song to learn if you want a calm, romantic feel with a steady, intimate groove. At about 64 BPM, it gives you time to let each chord ring and focus on clean changes, so it feels relaxed rather than rushed.

This chart leans on barre shapes, so your fretting hand needs to stay relaxed and accurate. The opening move is G#m to C# and back again, so the main thing to watch is that switch - it comes up often and needs to sound smooth and even.

Start by playing the opening progression slowly and making each chord change without stopping. Then loop G#m and C# until the shapes feel automatic, and only after that bring the tempo up in small steps. When the changes feel secure, play along with the full song and keep your strums light and controlled.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
