Blackbird Guitar Lesson Part 2 Video Lecture - The Ultimate Guitar Course

all right you made it to part two of
Blackbird which should be your favorite
part because this is the part where the
Blackbird takes flight so anyways we
really just have one more part to learn
and two fills and that's essentially the
entire song so at the end I'm going to
go through the whole thing together and
if you haven't watched part one none of
this you can make any sense to you so I
highly suggest you do that but anyways
part two is going to sound like this
you
okay so we're going to use the same
system as far as a root note and a shape
to do this okay and we're going to start
by going on 8a and we're going to make
this that kind of major shape where we
have the two fret spacing so we have
eight shape too and we're going to get a
and B at the same time to G a then we're
going to go two seven one two five one
two three two
one to pattern 2 3 to pattern so again
eight to seven one five one three two
one to pattern 3 to pattern and the
second half of this part is the exact
same thing with one change eight two
seven one five one three two one two
pattern open two pattern d1 g right so
the last part of this is just like the
end of part 1 except the very very back
end right so we have one two pattern
open two pattern we switch to the D
route to G right so we have parts one
and parts 2 and now we're going to have
two fills and the first fill actually
comes between the first two parts again
I'm going to organize the whole thing at
the end but if we just recognize the
first fill as being really similar to
the end of one parts it's going to sound
like this
okay so all it is is three to two one
open to pattern the D pattern again
where it's a d1 open one I guess with
the D string
Ruta back to G and when I do what I'm
doing with the G here is I'm really just
holding down three EA and I'm just kind
of doing the same pattern there for one
bar okay
so again the fill is gonna be a fill one
[Music]
okay and then the only other fill we're
gonna have is going to something like
this
okay and that's going to be the very
intro of the song the G to open one two
- one two three - and the intro that's
where we go down to here but really so
this second fill is 3/2 and then
backwards open - into the intro again
alright so one more time on the second
fill we have the G open one two one
three two two one open - D pattern back
to the intro
okay and really the only thing you have
to remember is part one there is like an
intro the beginning of part one wishes
[Music]
that part right there is the intro which
means it starts again it's not it
refreshes itself to go through the
entire part one so it's almost kind of
like a tease part one or whatever and
then the only other thing you have to
remember for the structure of the song
is in the version of the White Album
there's like this thing we're birds
start chirping which is kind of weird
night kind of doesn't exist but anyways
that's just the intro they kind of get
stuck on this thing as the birds start
chirping in and it slows down and then
fill to comes in
all right so basically going to organize
the whole thing okay and the structure
goes you have the intro you have part 1
fil 1 part 1 part 2 part 1 part 2 the
intro again with the birds Phil number 2
part 1 and the outro which is just a few
times around on Phil - okay so I've got
a sheet that kind of like has all this
laid out again the best way to do this
is just play along with the song these
parts are distinct enough that you can
probably tell the difference between
them I just by listening to them kind of
knowing which one to get into but I'm
going to play the whole thing right now
if you want to play along with this this
is kind of like a good way to do it too
so the intro to part 1
[Music]
to the fill
back to the first part again
[Music]
into part two
[Music]
the second part of cartoon
into Parwan
you
[Music]
then part two again
you
[Music]
and then we have the intro again but the
one with the the birds right I just kind
of slow that down and then into the
second Phil
and then par 1 again
[Music]
you
you
Oh
and then fill one
again
and then maybe slow it down a little bit
on the last one and then you can end it
on the G chord and there you have it
