Blackbird-(Beatles Cover-Second Attempt)

A good friend of mine who will remain nameless quite rightly commented on how absolutely awful my first posted attempt of this ditty was, so I skulked off for a bit and decided to come back about a week later and try posting a marginally less shitty rendition than my first go at it.

I am still in DGBDGB tuning on my Epiphone AJ-100(A genuine bargain at $118)

its good dude but blackbird can be played in normal tuning and sounds more like the recording

[kokoro86]

Yeah, I am aware it can be done in standard, and that the chords would be different. I just noodled this one out mostly on my own.

My project was to start from zero guitar knowledge to full blown blues slide playing, and this was more or less an exercise in exploring available chords in open tuning and doing some right hand work at the same time.

I'll check out your channel shortly for vids.

I've got an Epiphone AJ-100, it's just great! Really nice sound, great sustain and with new strings it sounds like a cannon!

EPIPHONE AJ-100... For how long you got it? Do you recomand it?

[MattTC1028]

of course in normal tuning you will be playing different chords
