About Wild World

"Wild World" is a song written and recorded by English singer-songwriter Cat Stevens, first appearing on his fourth album, Tea for the Tillerman (1970). Released as a single in September 1970, it explores themes of love and heartbreak and has been covered by artists including Maxi Priest and Mr. Big. Its clean chord progressions and melodic sensibility make it a rewarding piece for electric guitar players looking to develop rhythm technique and song feel.

  • "Wild World" was released as a single in September 1970 on Island Records and A&M Records simultaneously.
  • The song has inspired multiple successful cover versions, including those by Maxi Priest and rock band Mr. Big.
  • "Wild World" first appeared on Tea for the Tillerman, Cat Stevens' fourth studio album, released in 1970.

How to Play Wild World

Tuning: D Standard · Key: Am minor · Tempo: 102 BPM

Tuned a whole step down to D standard, the lower string tension makes bends feel looser, so keep an eye on your intonation.

Use the section loop to isolate a passage, drop the speed below 100%, and set the metronome to 102 BPM to build it up to tempo.
