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.
