[@gooshnpupp]

Love it! I'm working on it myself now. Having some trouble singing and fingerpicking at the same time, but I'm getting there😊

[@williamblack5869]

Thank you! I could couldn't sing and play this song at the same time when I first tried - about half a century ago! However, as with all songs, the singing became much easier as the playing became more ingrained.

I love it! Amazing cover man! I wish I had the mental capacity to play the guitar and sing at the same time 😂 someday I will

[@williamblack5869]

Thanks Danny! Playing the guitar and singing at the same time can require some practice, but at your young age, you can definitely learn! I had been playing Blackbird on guitar for at least a decade before I tried to sing with it. Most songs are easier. However, before I record any video, I'll spend hours making sure that my singing is properly synced with my guitar strums and riffs.

Magnífica interpretación Bill, me ha gustado mucho, enhorabuena desde Madrid y hasta pronto, like 10

[@williamblack5869]

Muchas gracias de nuevo Jose!

[@LeoStarman]

Really cool man 🎶👍 what equipment do you use to record ?

[@williamblack5869]

Thanks Leo! I use Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface and Recording Bundle ($299 on Amazon), as recomended by my former voice teacher. The Bundle includes Ableton Live 11 Lite. The system works great for vocals but there's a lot of noise with the guitar input, especially with rapid strumming. Others online have reported this problem but haven't yet found a solution. I don't know if the problem is in the hardware or software.

[@LeoStarman]

@@williamblack5869 thanks for the info i will look into it thanks , I’m a rapid strummer so might not be the best choice for me then. But will have a gander at it Take care and thanks again 🎶🎶🎸👌🤘

Lovely I pad is destroyed. I have keep to..April 9, 77, My Mom died of terrible. ThanksNow I realize I am the blackbird. Thanks.

[@williamblack5869]

Thank you. I am sorry to hear about your Mom. Paul was inspired to write "Blackbird" after reading about of the integration of the "Little Rock Nine" into a public high school in 1957. Beyonce covered the song in her recent album, "Cowboy Carter".
