How to play "The Beatles - Blackbird" on ukulele

Hi. I'm showing you here how to play the beautiful song "Blackbird" from The Beatles, that I arranged for ukulele. Just play the chords displayed in the left upper corner ;-). The original is in G. My version is in C because its better to play there. Unfortunately my singing is not so great in this pitch.

palmer586 was so kind to write tabs for this and uploaded it for you guys:

Leave him a thank-you if you like it.

i know you said you won't write out the chords, but is there any way you could post your progression from the top left somewhere not moving? so we can actually see where we're going and play along? it's pretty hard to keep up with (even with pausing every .5 seconds) it would really be appreciated!

thanks!

[DerMoppelt]

@jlh415 OK, you won. I give you the chords that I figured out before I transfered it to uke. I don' think this will help but I just wanna give you something. To all of you: feel free to write a tab score and post it here for others. Many thanks for your feedback. Remember that the original is in the key of G.

Verse: | C Csus4/D C/E | C | F D7/F# G E7/G# | Am Ab+ | G F#m7b5 | F Fm | C/E D7 Gsus4/7 C |

Refrain: | Badd9 F/A Fsus4/G F | Eb6 F | Badd9 F/A Fsus4/G F | Eb6 D7 | Gsus4/7 C |

Thank you so much! This is an amazing resource. If possible, could you please post a listl the chords too? Thanks again for making this lovely video!.

[DerMoppelt]

@pgay2 I'm afraid I couldn't give you a list of the cords. First reason is, that I have to arrange my songs for ukulele. Indeed, sometimes on the piano. That means it's not always possible to play the exact chord from the song, f.e. certain base notes or some options of the chord. That's why I do not show the name of the cords in my videos. They wouldn't be always right in general though they work for ukulele.

Second reason is that Blackbird is made up of melodies, not chords. Hope that helped.

Awesome!

[fallingoffmydinosaur]

great video! i love this song -3

but i don't understand how to pluck it, you should do a slower tutorial on the plucking :)

[MooneyGary]

I love this upload.

You have the chord diagrams.

Good view of your hands while playing.

The "letter" chords for for guirtar or piano jam (in description/comments).

A link to tablature.

Yes, it's too fast for a beginner to follow, (I had to pause and hand write chord symbols) but that makes you think harder and learn faster and become more expert.

Super well done, thanks.

[elgrantioberni]

thanks dude! im trying hard to play it, when my fingers get untied i'll try it again!:D
