The Beatles Blackbird Acoustic Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

Absolutely love your tutorials!! Thank you so much.

I dont know fingerstyle. I play grunge.

Thanks so much for breaking it down this way and then repeating. You’re an excellent teacher.

love you man

Hey Marty,
My mom always wanted me to play this song for her when I learned the guitar, it has been a long time since I made her happy, so I wanted to get back to learning this song. Thank you for teaching this to me.

I think what paul means is that he doesn't do it with middle finger and index. Besides the intro he does most of the song with just index and thumb 😮😮😮

Marty your great you have been teaching me for years God bless you.

Thanks man!

You earned another subscriber. The way you teach really helps me understand what to do. Hope you get a long life.

Like he would want to meet You, boy.

Thank you 🙏

Immensely in debt. Thank you soooo much!! With this video I am learning how to play it after days of trying without success.. Love it! ❤

It be sweet if some body commented the order it parts. For example part on is played twice before you play part two and so on

The reason Paul is saying people are playing wrong is actually because they ARE playing not the same as him. It might sound the same but it isn’t. Paul goes for smooth change of grips and some of his grips are ‘overkill’, i.e. he could use two fingers instead of a whole hand….transitions are smooth, without much movement of fingers and I think THIS is the reason Paul says people are playing wrong. They are not but the the smooth transitions lack.

Yoy sound nice but still Paul played easier. He just used his finger instead of picking too hard.

you're playing it wrong

Do you have a tab version of this avaible?

The bass line does a chromatic walkup at 'take these broken wings and learn to fly', sorry but this isn't actually that close.

Try A3 B5
A4 E3 and
A5 B7
A6 E5

Best guy around, thank you so much, you're the best! You taught me so much through all these years of playing guitar!

Great teacher on a level I can understand. I can finally make some thing that sounds like a song which gives me something to build on. Thank you.

Great stuff . Thanks very helpful

Marty….you kinda got lost with the picking pattern. Really good lesson but sure would help you had already decided what picking pattern you will use. Otherwise pretty good lesson.

You're way is the best bro, don't worry about that!....love you man, God's blessings to you always.

"Lets start now making music", what we've been doing from the start.😂

Marty : I’m not gonna sing it.

Also Marty : starts singing it.

Do you have a play along? Im jus curious because i just learned how to play guitar and im kind of confused on some of the parts. Like the "blackbird fly into the light of the darkblack night" the pattern there kind of cunfuses me. Thanks for this tutorial.

i’m watching this with 2 day’s experience 💀

I need tabs because I have the memory of a goldfish I see it and forget it

I’ve been trying to learn this song for months and this has helped so much

Learning this in case the Beatles are forgotten.

WOW! thank you my friend 😊🙏🏻 Thanks and greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 I really appreciate that 🫶🏼

First you play the song then teach its parts.

Great lesson Marty. Is there a tab for this? Did I miss it?

Haven't wanted to even look at my guitar for two years. Randomly picked it up and you helped me learn this song in one hour. You do more for us than you know! Thanks, Marty!

I practiced the song last night and now I'm about to show my parents.Thanks Marty👍

Amazing video perfectly explained how to play it thanks

actually I like to have this version of songs, sound good is simple, and you have yours some to play, if you want you can go with the more complicated version later.. good job Martyn

now how do I transition it into Yesterday?

Thanks Marty

I'm having a fit at how much easier this is than the "official" tab on master tabs, that also doesn't sound right if I'm honest, has me swapping me index and ring fingers over for the climb up and down, ugh why have I been paying and failing when this much easier much better version exists

A suggestion for another lesson... would be the song 'IF' by Bread. Another good picking song. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

I can play this and a bunch of other songs from my favorite groups on the guitar Right Handed. I'm left handed. When I got my first guitar couldn't afford a left handed guitar got a right handed one and always had trouble picking with my non dominant hand now I have to relearn everything on the left handed guitar but find that picking is way easier and this was a huge hurdle to my right handed playing. It's just funny that I have to relearn everything, like Blackbird, from square one. I pick up right handed guitar to remember the notes but my brain doesn't transfer it because it's so different and my fingers are definitely not as strong can't Bar for an F yet but I'll get there. That's my rant, the end
