Blackbird Acoustic

I noticed a lot of versions of this song on the site (not not mention a lot of different ways to play it)... so I thought I'd contribute my own... I think it sounds pretty close to the original recording.

It is so close to the original! I am very picky about how this song is played and you did it beautifly!

@xjbladderx Calm down.  His right hand picking IS incorrect.

[accidmav]

its an interesting rendition, but like someone else said. the arpeggios are differently voiced in the recording.

[mooorgaan]

you did a good job recreating the original compared to some of the other covers out there. that being said, your technique with your right hand is a little bit out of order, so try to listen more carefully to the way the arpeggio is voiced. also, try to make the notes a little bit longer. this will come with practice because you will be able to switch in the left hand more quickly.

other than those two things, great job!

It actually sounds reasonably like the original. Maybe you need to go listen to it more yourself hellrot2000.

Did you notice his use of the word "version" in the description??? or did you think this was actually the beatles playing here?

To the poster:

Don't listen to tards like this asshole. Makes songs your own. Then again don't take my advice or his do your own thing and you will always be happier.

[hellrot2000]

no, it doesn't sound like original. listen carefully, compare and make adjustments. Then practice more and finally put your soul into it. Full it with feelings.
