Blackbird (Lennon/McCartney) Tutorial & Analysis | The Jazz Pursuit

[@kzeich]

Now THIS is what I call harmonic and theoretical analysis, baby! You tore it up. Damn that feels good. Brother, you're good at what you do. Usually I use your Channel to brush up on Standards but this exceeded my expectations and now I will be revisiting The Beatles catalog. Hell yeah

Grateful for this tutorial, it allows me to step inside the head of a great musician and humanitarian. Your delivery and instructions are made with 100% clarity, but above all you give time for digesting your steady pace of info.. 🏆

I wonder if you can go through the jazz standard "Tenderly" thanks so much!

First video I’ve seen of yours, following from a Reddit post. Love it! Complete with British (?) accent! Lol 😝

Thanks!

On your website, the free Blackbird lead sheet leads to an 'All The Things You Are' PDF, could this please be fixed? Thank you!

I've gone my whole life never learning this legendary song and therefore never realizing that it modulates a whole step down for the chorus. That is INSANE! I've been experimenting modulating to relative keys on the circle of fifths, and rarely try to modulate to 2 keys away. When I do, it never comes out as pretty as blackbird! 😅 now there's no excuse for not learning this classic anymore

[@TheJazzPursuit]

Yeah it’s an absolute belter of a tune! I think the modulation to the b7 is a real folky modulation that definitely doesn’t feel like a modulation…but genius writing, everything just works perfectly!
