How to play the song blackbird on the guitar

Here’s a great tutorial on how to play Blackbird by the Beatles, an acoustic classic, and a very popular song to cover. Many guitarists learn this and practically everyone in North America has heard it, probably more than once. I’d say this song is intermediate to advanced, so if you are a beginner and looking for something to challenge yourself this would be a good place to start.

Keep in mind it’s finger picked as well.
