Lesson 2 — The INTRO
The intro to this arrangement of Blackbird is built around a single bar that repeats, making it a great place to get comfortable with the movement and feel of the song.
It uses a simple progression based on a G shape at the 7th fret position, moving through G – Gsus4 – G5 – G. These subtle changes create a gentle sense of movement while keeping your hand in the same area of the neck.
Focus on keeping your fingers relaxed and your strumming steady as you move between these shapes. The goal here is to establish a smooth, flowing rhythm that sets the tone for the rest of the piece.
Take your time with this section, as it will help you build confidence before moving on to the rest of the song.
