Miki Santamaria: “Thinking Out Loud” (All-Bass Ed Sheeran Cover)

Miki Santamaria sent me a note a few days ago with his newest bass cover. Thanks to my daughter Sara, I already knew the name Ed Sheeran – so I felt a little bit cooler when Miki mentioned this was Sheeran’s tune, “Thinking Out Loud”.

And as always, Miki plays with such soul. Awesome cover.

[Editor’s note: Based on the popularity of this cover, we published a transcription of Miki’s arrangement.]

  1. It was a pleasant surprise to see this arrangement was achieved without a loop pedal. Fantastic tone and more importantly, the melody was played perfectly.

    Top marks.
