Beatles "Blackbird" - Complete Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Chord sheet and tab for this lesson, plus awesome supporter perks available at https://www.patreon.com/posts/beatles-complete-4798118 Hello and welcome back to Swiftlessons, In this free video tutorial, Philadelphia guitar instructor Rob Swift breaks down The Beatles classic "Blackbird." This tune, written by Paul McCartney, was originally featured on the bands 1968 double LP The White Album (available on vinyl: http://amzn.to/1TSigcQ). There are only four unique movements that reoccur throughout this composition. The number of chords may seem overwhelming, but each is a simplified version of chords you may already know. At no point will you need more than two fingers on the fretboard. Chords and tabs are available at Patreon.com/swiftlessons. Let's get started! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links: Facebook: http://facebook.com/swiftguitarlessons Instagram: https://instagram.com/swiftguitarlessons Twitter: https://twitter.com/swiftlessons Request a song at: http://swiftguitar.com/request

Always a pleasure, your fingerpicking technique must be getting good, keep up the practice!

Rob, you really sound like Paul! Nice lesson, BTW - on the C to C# dim and D to D#dim, instead of swapping index tip from fifth to first string, I use a "trap" of the first string on the #dim pinches with the flesh of the third joint of the index finger. Paul does it your way in videos (the "right way" :) , but I've had several students prefer the trap method. There is less movement of the index finger, and thus less chance for misplacement of the index when playing the #dim pinches. The trap is actually quite easy for them to get.

Hi Rob, the tab hasn't been updated though has it, I agree Open D string and B string fret 1 sounds better. I think there is a second Error in the same verse at Eb, in the last bar the bass is shown as 7 and it should be 6?

Always liked this song but felt it was too difficult to play. Got interested again when I learn recently that some of the chords of this song influenced the intro of “Baby I Love Your Way” by Peter Frampton. Since I am sort of new here, I am glad to find that you covered it in the past. Again, your teaching style makes it clear and easy to understand ...plus gives hope and makes me play without fear. Thank you Mr. Swift.

Great lesson, Rob. I'm progressing well but if anyone can help me out with a question on the extended finger picking I'd really appreciate it. For: double, down/up, root up/down...are the down/up and up/down done on the G string or is it G and B (down on G, up on B/up on B, down on G)? I've watched the Blackbird video over and over again but still can't make it out. Thanks!

At the end of the verse Am7 you have A string open and B string 1, should it not be D string open and B string 1 ? It sure sounds like that on the album

Wow, never noticed that before, watched a video of Paul just now and you appear to be right, I stand gleefully corrected! That means the actual chord being suggested is D7. I like the song even better now!
