Tenerife Sea


Tenerife Sea is a 2014 Ed Sheeran track from his album x, co-written with Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid and Foy Vance, and produced by Rick Rubin. This acoustic-driven song showcases fingerpicking techniques and emotional restraint, making it an excellent choice for guitarists developing their dynamics and touch control on electric guitar.

  • Co-written by Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol and producer Rick Rubin, blending alternative and folk influences.
  • Released in June 2014 as part of the deluxe edition of x, Sheeran's second studio album.
  • Features subtle acoustic guitar work that translates well to electric for learning fingerpicking patterns and chord transitions.
