Guitartricks - How to Play - Blackbird (The Beatles)

This is a great song for learning fingerpicking. Your picking fingers to do one thing while your fretting fingers do another. It seems difficult, but once you get the pattern, you know the whole song. And you only use two fingers on your fretting hand.

In this set of lessons, Caren Armstrong will teach "Blackbird", as made famous by The Beatles. Caren will talk about the song and the acoustic tone before detailing the song intro; then she'll get into the 1st verse and turnaround. Next up is verse 2, then the bridge; then the solo verse. We'll learn the breakdown section and the 2nd turnaround, then the last verse and the ending before we end with a play along performance and a jam along.
