|  |     Blackbird was a Paul thing
    
    I do it in the wrong key I think,.. I've got it in G without
    any open tuning or anything. I'm alomost sure they did it in another
    key, with or without open tuning. If nobody enters anything for
    a couple days,.. I'll try to type in my version...

|  |      I got it wrote down at home. I'll try to remember to
    bring it in tommorow, and enter the "chords" here. If
    I remeber correctly each chord starts out with pinch
    (5th or 6th wtih 2nd or 1st string) and then pick the
    3rd string and move to next 'chord'. The 'chords' are
    1 or 2 finger ones, with constant repositioning. There
    are a few 'chords' played with repeating 2nd or 1st and
    3rd string picking. Song is best easiest in fingerpicking.

|  | Yup... pinch, pluck, move, repeat.  Here are the rudiments the way I do it:
The "blackbird singing..." part:

The "blackbird fly" part:

String 'em together just so, repeat a few sections here and there, shuffle
in a few repeated phrases for intro, turnaround, etc., and you got it.

      I get the "pluck" but...
    
      Wuzat "pinch" stuff?
    
      I must be reading something into it.
    
      Slightly confused Rick.

| 2308.7 | As long as it's not PUNCH | ELWOOD::HERTZBERG | History: Love it or Leave it! | Thu Aug 29 1991 12:18 | 6 | 
|  |     "Pinch" just means pluck two notes simultaneously on two separate
    strings.  I guess "pinch" makes visual sense because the two fingers
    used move towards each other in a pinching motion when the notes
    are played.  Not a very technical term!

|  |     re: .5
     Thanks! I brought my book in today, but I would have been
    able to only enter it in 'chord' form and would have been
    difficult to understand picking. Nice tab! let see extract
    .5.         :^)

|  | Strange.  See what happens when you mix acoustics and electrics ??
To ME a pinch is pinching a harmonic betwixt your thumb and pick
on your electric_whamma_jamma... My poisonoil favorite !
