  • u r an excellent teacher but u need a new camera!

  • @bigbadbenable thank you and I just bought a new HD camera, so the quality will improve. Thanks for the comment and for the visit.

  • This is just downright impossible. But easiest tut I've seen so far for Blackbird.

  • @TheAbsentOneX Don't give up on it! It takes time and patience...

  • I just want to thank you for taking the time to record this lesson, as imperfect as it might be (as though I would ever know without reading all these critics' postings) & that you are still checking back to see what folks say after all this time is admirable. I wanted you to know that I've spent many evenings learning and re-learning this song with your assistance and that you are appreciated.

  • @mildbugs Thanks again for the kind comment...  Your kind words mean alot to me - so thank you!

  • This is different from the original recording -- its pretty this way too, but, this is actually a bit more difficult than the original way..I've posted a video on the pick/strum technique McCartney plays, which might be helpful, and also a vid on the chords if you need it. This is pretty too.You can find them by searching for philtangerine blackbird.

  • 72 people obv cant play this even whith the help of this great man :D and btw u explained really well .. i can almost play it perfect and that was my 1st try ^^ <3

  • Great job! Please show the rest!

  • maccalennonstarr? and what about harrison? haha just kidding.

    I just wanna say that you're really good, man. You helped me a loooot! Thank you!

  • Dude, you made me play this song perfectly, thanks so much!
