I'm glad the verdict was for Sheeran. There are just so many notes in music and just so many words in the English language. All music is influenced by music that came before so it's natural that there is going to be overlaps.

I’m glad too, it didn’t sound like it and whereas the one is wedding music, the other is more like last call on Friday night
To: TomServo
That’s quite a stretch although it is funny.

As Tiny Tim used to say “It’s only eight notes! Eight notes!.”

I listened to both songs a couple days ago.
I could not hear any similarities.

Even though I agree with the verdict I wish he was found guilty anyways. He sucks

I’ve used many of the same notes Stevie Ray Vaughn used a lot of times. Not the same results though. Close a time or two. 🎸🔊

Most famous (honest) musicians will admit they routinely riff off other artists.

Sheeran is a good songwriter, but I don’t care for his singing. His voice usually sounds strained and forced out.
Kind of a “Jackson Brown” situation.
Even Elton John has remarked that he is amazed at Sheerans success as a vocalist.

“accused of copying music chords”
Freakin ridiculous. You can’t copyright chords.
