Aria - Cover of "Blackbird" by The Beatles

[@TheLuNaMaStEr]

Honestly one of the better covers out there for this song. Most people destroy it by trying to add annoying moans or excessive hanging notes. Thank you for not doing that.

[@everettdea]

Just because a person can go up and down and sideways with their voice, doesn't make it soulful. Stop it and focus on simplifying. A true musician can make the simplest of songs soulful. She did just that. Good job young lady.

[@mackiedaz9121]

djam precisely.

[@carissa3092]

NETRO others try to hard and add auto tune, it's really annoying, but I like this because it's her, a guitar, the world and a microphone

I’m 53. This song made my fingers bleed at the age of 15. Over and over again I tried. I still play. With the exception of Sir Paul himself, I have never seen it played with such ease, pleasure and with such a lovely voice to accompany it. Thank you for sharing 😊 🎶

[@farhandwiputra8021]

Tony Tiger cool sir

[@Zacharia503]

I decided at the beginning of Lockdown that I would learn this, or at least the Beatles version; at 75% speed I can (sort of) follow it once or twice out of ten. But it only takes one slip, and the whole thing goes to rat shit and I have to start again. As the Great God Tommy Emmanuel said, "Repetition is our friend)......

[@Zacharia503]

And Macca and I discovered how to play a B7 down at the nut round about the same time; he in Liverpool and I in Norwich....like him, I remember the euphoria as I realised that , with that knowledge, the world was my oyster....

Thanks, Tony Tiger

Aria, that was a beautiful performance of Blackbird. I particularly appreciate that young people, who were born decades after the Beatles broke up, are still finding and appreciating their incredible music. Thank you!

[@eliya3424]

That's because the Beatles are timeless 😊 As a young whipper-snapper of 19 years, my favorite genres of music are 60's rock and 60's Motown.

[@chucky1time337]

Wow simply beautiful done as well as the original absolutely stunning best cover ever well done and such an attractive lady as well ❤

[@laurapuchalski7402]

Oh, that Ovation sounds so beautiful with your voice! That is one old guitar! I am 62 and got mine when I was just 14. I still have it, looks just like the one you’re playing, but mine cracked when I was about 19. Still is the prettiest sounding guitar I own. You know that it is easier to play than most guitars...perfect for “Blackbird”.

[@listenlearn5445]

Yeah, that’s the way it’s done. You remind me of a young Joan Baez. Wonderful vocals and beautiful guitar 🎸! Nice job.

[@sharihoffman1226]

Yes, Aria, this is it. Your voice is stunning and perfect for this song. Thank you for slowing down the song a bit too. While I love the original I always feel the pace of it is too fast. Keep going!

[@davidmathews2124]

[@timhaslam4241]

Along with Corinne Bailey Rae's White House performance, this is the best cover I've seen of Blackbird. The playing is so good too - it's not an easy tune to play. Bravo!

[@catherinebrunssen]

Such pure talent! This ☝️ tried by many, mastered by very few. On top of your amazing guitar work your voice is like a bell❤️ Very, very well done👏👏👏

[@Musician-Lee]

Beautifully played, Aria. Also, if I may comment on the actual recording, an excellent job for an outside location. Whoever placed the mics knows their job. There are hundreds of cover versions of Blackbird and most fail because people mess up the fingering even if they have a good voice. You have a great voice and you’ve completely nailed the fingering. Oh, and you look much better than Paul McCartney too :)

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Wow, I didn't expect it to be that good. No, that was great! Thumbs up! I subscribed! Lol!

[@CHRISS0019]

Concordo completamente com o comentário de NETRO. Uma das melhores, talvez a melhor versão que já tenha ouvido para "Black Bird".

Best cover for this song that I’ve ever heard...

[@defiletia8838]

Really beautiful .... Nice singing and nice guitar playing. I was especially impressed by the ease with which she plays the guitar. After 30 years they lent me an acoustic guitar, I wanted to sing at my daughter's wedding. In the end I sang Hey Jude - but without guitar.My softened fingers after 2-3 days of playing the guitar hurt so that I was not able to play. I ordered a classical guitar with nylon strings. Hats off in front of this singer and guitarist!

You make it look so simple, yet it is such a complicated song to play. Just beautiful and your vocals as well. Gorgeous.

[@JeffWells-cw2sw]

It takes some time to learn, but it's really not as difficult as it sounds. Maybe I have longer fingers than most? Many Beatle songs are at a similar level of difficulty, in fact, or maybe I forget that in 1963 I was only 15 and could learn a lot of these tunes by ear thanks to my Dad who could sing beautifully - quien quiere?

Pity for that D7 chord with wrong bass in A, instead of D.. It would have been perfect!

[@bsnf-5]

bitovino Actually, it is not that bad, since a note is the perfect fifth in D chord... Nothing wrong with playing it in bass. The wrong part is on "Blackbird flying"... whatever she plays, it is wrong. The right chord progression for this part is: F, e minor, d minor, C, Bb, C... She got only two last chords right
