hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Even the big names make mistakes. Ed Sheeran gave us his 'loop station' explanation last night explaining that everything you hear is live and then started 'Bad Habits'. What he forgot to do however, was change his guitar to one that was in the correct tuning for the song. Strangely, the ITV You Tube of 'Bad Habits' has been edited so well, it looks like it never happened. Fortunately someone who was there captured it for posterity 😂 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I’d say that’s equally down to the guitar tech, they’d have all the guitar changes written down too. Oh well, all of a 10 second divert. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I`m glad about this, not cos I dislike Ed Sheeran because I don`t, it just somehow makes a huge star seem more human, and def will make me feel better the next time I mess something up, I`ll just feel that I`m now in good company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t dislike Ed, in fact, I quite like some of his stuff. As you say, this gives us all hope, when we inevitably drop a clanger. My favourite was forgetting to reset the D Tuner from the previous song . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had finished his first song, then went straight into his 'look at my loop station' monologue and started 'Bad Habits'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 And this, ladies and gentleman, is why I will never entertain alternate tunings, unless it is my one and only tuning 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about delay, is that 'live'..? S'not as if there's a backing track. (Disclaimer: I know nothing of the bloke in the video; just curious as to why it doesn't count as 'live'...). Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could get into the minutiae of it, but - in my opinion - it's not live. It's been done already, and it's being played back. Not that Ed cares what I think, mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
