    I’m 53. This song made my fingers bleed at the age of 15. Over and over again I tried. I still play. With the exception of Sir Paul himself, I have never seen it played with such ease, pleasure and with such a lovely voice to accompany it. Thank you for sharing 😊 🎶

      I decided at the beginning of Lockdown that I would learn this, or at least the Beatles version; at 75% speed I can (sort of) follow it once or twice out of ten. But it only takes one slip, and the whole thing goes to rat shit and I have to start again. As the Great God Tommy Emmanuel said, "Repetition is our friend)......

      And Macca and I discovered how to play a B7 down at the nut round about the same time; he in Liverpool and I in Norwich....like him, I remember the euphoria as I realised that , with that knowledge, the world was my oyster....

    Honestly one of the better covers out there for this song. Most people destroy it by trying to add annoying moans or excessive hanging notes. Thank you for not doing that.

      Just because a person can go up and down and sideways with their voice, doesn't make it soulful. Stop it and focus on simplifying. A true musician can make the simplest of songs soulful. She did just that. Good job young lady.

    "Blackbird"
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to be free
    Blackbird fly
    Blackbird fly
    Into the light of the dark black night
    Blackbird fly
    Blackbird fly
    Into the light of the dark black night.
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly

I still have it, looks just like the one you’re playing, but mine cracked when I was about 19. Still is the prettiest sounding guitar I own. You know that it is easier to play than most guitars...perfect for “Blackbird”.

    Beautifully played, Aria. Also, if I may comment on the actual recording, an excellent job for an outside location. Whoever placed the mics knows their job. There are hundreds of cover versions of Blackbird and most fail because people mess up the fingering even if they have a good voice. You have a great voice and you’ve completely nailed the fingering. Oh, and you look much better than Paul McCartney too :)

      bitovino Actually, it is not that bad, since a note is the perfect fifth in D chord... Nothing wrong with playing it in bass.

    So beautiful and soulful! Thanks for that cover! That was the tone and colour I was willing to her but couldn't find anywhere else...
