How To Play Blackbird on Guitar -(And How Not To)

This lesson will teach you how to play blackbird by The Beatles and Paul McCartney and more importantly make you aware of the many incorrect blackbird guitar lessons. It is more of a guide than a step by step lesson. I will demonstrate the basic technique that most people teach the wrong way and show you just how easy it actually is to play blackbird the right way. I will also reveal the worst blackbird lesson as well as the best blackbird lesson I found on youtube.

• BEST Blackbird Guitar ...
Above is the best one in my opinion

Thank you for this Frank. I've played this song for many years, and I've seen it butchered by a lot of good guitarists. I don't consider myself to be a good guitarist, though I have played for fifty odd years but at least we both play Blackbird the same way.

My pleasure. This song is one that we guitarists tend to make more complicated than it actually is.

I tried watching a few of Marty's lessons, and I think he just doesn't sound good to my ear. His videos dont come up on my feed anymore,which is good. I've been using my index finger to strum the chords in Blackbird, but Ive never liked how my nail sounds on it. You get a nice fleshy warm sound with your thumb. Im going to try and relearn it using my thumb. This song is always a crowd pleaser.

I always used to do it with my index as well. It works but the thumb is the ticket for sure . Best of luck with it

On Marty's lesson even the intro of the vid sounds completely wrong which is not even the main part which you say he messed up.
