By Dan Jones. By Dan Jones www.danjonesguitarist.com. Classical,Country,Folk,Instructional. Individual part. 4 pages. DanJonesGuitarist #742837. Published by DanJonesGuitarist (A0.1142470).Fledgling Blackbird by Dan Jones www.danjonesguitarist.com As a guitarist and teacher with nearly 30 years of experience, one piece which many guitarists of all styles are keen to play is Paul McCartney's beautiful acoustic ballad, 'Blackbird'. The key to mastering this particular song is to learn the right hand (or left hand in McCartney's case!) picking pattern. It is based on a repeated thumb movement which alternates rapidly, on the beat, between two bass notes on different strings. Once this is mastered, the player can tackle the considerable fretting-hand challenges of the song. I wanted to compose a piece which could hold its own musically in a performance, but also give the learner the chance to master the country-inspired 'Blackbird' picking pattern, with fewer challenges for the fretting hand. I hope that 'Fledgling Blackbird' achieves these aims.
