Blackbird - The Beatles (Fingerstyle Guitar)

Blackbird was recorded on 11 June 1968 at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London, with George Martin as the producer and Geoff Emerick as the audio engineer.It is a solo performance with McCartney playing a Martin D 28 acoustic guitar. The track includes recordings of a male common blackbird singing in the background.
Concerning the melody, Paul explains in his book “Many Years From Now”: “The original inspiration was from a well-known piece by Bach, which I never knew the title of, which George and I had learned to play at an early age. Part of its structure is a particular harmonic thing between the melody and the bass line which intrigued me."
Geoff Emetrick, the audio engineer: Paul remarked to me that he wanted the track to sound as if he was singing it outdoors. 'Fine,' I said, 'then let's do it outdoors.' He looked surprised, but there was a little spot outside of the echo chamber with just enough room for him to sit on a stool. I ran a long mic lead out there and that's where we recorded 'Blackbird.' Most of the bird noises were dubbed on later, from a sound effects record, but a couple of them were live, sparrows and finches singing outside the Abbey Road studio on a soft summer eve along with Paul McCartney.”

"Paul explained the desire to have sound effects on the song: “The only point where we were thinking of putting anything on it was where it comes back in at the end – stops, and then comes back in. So, instead of putting any backing on it, we put a blackbird on it"
