Blackbird Easy tab
Here is the easy guitar tabs for the Beatles song Blackbird. It is considered a Beatles song but Paul McCartney is performing it alone. It is in G, with bass and guitar progressing mostly in parallel. Paul played a Martin D 28 acoustic guitar for the song.
The song is a fun to play as it has the special McCartney combination of picking and finger-strumming. The bass notes are played by the thumb on the downbeat. Keep this in mind when playing these Beatles Blackbird easy guitar tabs. Blackbird is hard to play but this is the easy version which should get you started right away. An acoustic guitar will give you the best result, but electric is fine as well.
