It is finally here, Blackbird. This song has an amazing rhythm part and it only felt natural to include the melody and make this a chord melody tutorial. If you were to play it and sing it you could really just play it exactly the same and sing it as well, there isn't much melody to the song and it has long stretches of just grooving.   

Song order

1. Play the first verse including the bar that says 1.

2. Go back to the start of the verse and play it again, but at the end skip the part that says 1 and play the part under 2.

3. Play the chorus and the part that says 1

4. Play the chorus a second time but skip the part under the 1 and go to the 2

5. From here you will play the bridge and final verse to the end.

The song is all about the G note, it is in the key of G and g anchors the whole song. When you are grooving we are using the G string to anchor everything. You could also play this with a low G, just make sure that if it is the song melody, meaning a note that is song, you play the G note on the 3rd fret of the E string, but the low G is our drone and it keeps moving.   

The way the song work is it tricks you into thinking that it is over and then keeps moving, so make sure you go through all the tabs and use the information to let you know when parts repeat, we take the time and use the tabs to walk you through all of those pieces.

Thank you Tyler for this. I'm still a beginner/intermediate player. I'm going to take my time with this and hopefully learn this great song.
