This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Blackbird by The Beatles.
Paul McCartney wrote Blackbird in 1968 and the song appears on the White Album. This arrangement is really fun to play, quite tricky at times but feels great once you’ve learnt it.
If you’ve not learnt how to play the original then I do recommend getting that down first. I’ve done a lesson on it here.
Alright, let’s start learning how to play Blackbird!
