"Blackbird"

The Beatles' "Blackbird" is a song I've wanted to be able to play for a long time. And I have been able to play a little of it - basically just the opening line. I knew it continued in the same vein, but I never sat down to figure it out.

Once again, YouTube comes to the rescue - and specifically again in the person of Marty Schwartz at guitarjamz.com. He confirmed what I already thought I knew, and showed me the rest. Since I had some time to myself last weekend, I played this song - a lot. And since it's on the acoustic, I could give it a lot of repetitions after girls had gone to bed.

It's a gorgeous song, and I'm thrilled to be able to play it. Now if only I could sing like Paul McCartney. :-)
