How to Play Blackbird on Guitar For Beginners
Mar 20, 2021
Today's beginner guitar lesson is about how to play Blackbird on guitar for beginners! This is one of my favorite songs & is the song that inspired me to play guitar in the first place. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar lesson for beginners about one of the best acoustic songs to learn on guitar ever.
In this Blackbird guitar tutorial I'll show you the fingerpicking that I first learned for this song & I'll show you the fingerpicking that Paul McCartney uses when he plays Blackbird. This is one of the best fingerpicking songs to start out with because you only need your first finger & thumb to do the fingerpicking. So that makes it a great way to start fingerpicking for beginners. Also, a quick note about this Blackbird guitar lesson is that even though this song is normally played on an acoustic guitar, it does sound excellent on a clean electric guitar, too. So whatever kind of guitar you're using to learn guitar, you can play this awesome fingerpicking song & impress your friends anytime.
