Blackbird - The Beatles - Free Guitar Tabs

Hello !



 I know Blackbird it is not a classical guitar piece
but I like very much how Paul McCartney composed this
fantastic arpeggio.

McCartney he mixed the classical guitar style of Mauro Giuliani ( 1781-1829 ) and Ferdinando Carulli ( !770-1841 born in Naples ) ( the Italian classical guitar style ) with the fingerpicking, and with the voice the Blues with the Pop ! Paul is a Genius !! so Paul McCartney composed Blackbird, a very fascinating piece that many guitarists play in their own way, many guitarists play in the wrong way and nobody sounds like Paul. I like so much Blackbird ,

So I tell you my theory. Playing the right chords with Paul's own fingerings is a bit difficult (but not too much!) And it is worth practicing your left hand.

Paul's right hand is a bit too personal in my opinion, and it does a "dirty overload" on your right hand index finger that works too much and badly. I know that Paul Mc Cartney is a genius even though he believes he copied ( Inspired ) by Bach's Bourree BWV 996, instead he is inspired by the famous piece of Carulli "Andantino Op. 241, No. 5" and by Mauro Giuliani in the Italian style of classical guitar almost a century later. Or maybe he was inspired by Francisco Tarrega and the famous piece " Lagrima" ? I think Andantino in G by Ferdinando Carulli for the chords !
But the index finger of the right hand with that movement dirties too much the sound of the arpeggio in my opinion and in addition you tire and ruin your style if you play it like Paul.

My idea is to make the right and perfect chords like Paul but to change the right hand more like an arpeggio.
    I hope you like my rendition
