  • I learned this in a different way, with it going G in the beginning. Your tutorial is a very big help on this song ( I'm the only one who plays piano in my school so I have to play along with the chorus) YOU ARE MY LIFE PIANO JOHN!

  • @IIGangstaSaurusII Very glad it helped you. Enjoy!

  • Hi John. On the chorus to Blackbird, when you sing, "Into the light of the dark black night," instead of a straight D chord try a D octave on the left hand and F# C F(natural) on the right, which sounds dischordant in isolation but seems to work well in that spot. Rick Kupfer

  • @Rickster0813 Wonderful suggestion, Rick. The sharped 9th would work perfectly with the dissonant melody note on the lyric "light." I think I was trying to find the right flavor of that part when I did the video, and you supplied it for me there. :-)

  • It was really helpful, thnx :D

  • @D0RlEN You're very welcome. :-)

  • googd tutorial, but I wish you would tell me what you were doing with your fingers instead of just the notes.

  • you dont think you could post a slower version for the "strumming" parts? or maybe just write down the notes in sequence, I'm having trouble following those parts! and this is a great arrangement... thanks in any case!

  • Go figure out the strumming parts by yourself.. Good he already made an opening for us to learn...

  • @19kate98 Use your ear it's not too hard for this song.

  • @edwardpaddywagon I don't use the sheets, as this is my own arrangement. But the chords can be found in many different places - a good resource is the Beatles Complete Scores, a book published by Hal Leonard.
