Blackbird
Paul McCartney
Full Song
rit=ritard(Slow down) This song uses finger picking, so the fingerings are different
you dont play that type. It is still playable if you don’t know how, but it isnt the
form. I recommend listening to a recording of this song before trying to play
because of the rhythm.
