A slower, smoother pace of melody for Ed Sheeran’s 2011 hit ‘Lego House’ than some of the other riffs featured, but that should not detract from his subtle musicianship.   The third single from Sheeran’s critically acclaimed debut album + (pronounced ‘Plus’), ‘Lego House’ demonstrates his knack for a gripping tune, and the ability to incorporate winning melodies and plangent guitar tones.

This riff-ridden song saw the first intentional use of guitar feedback in a recorded release. The effect was used to great acclaim to extend the song’s opening note, which was played on the A-string of John Lennon’s guitar. This note then leads into the opening riff, featuring a three-chord pattern and played with great precision by Lennon and George Harrison.
