Blackbird - The Beatles

I agree with Roger. You made me smile which made me happy. Nice you got some new recording equipment. Great performance all around - finger style, vocals, beautiful song. Well done. Look forward to hearing from you again!

Great performance. How long did it take to learn and play Blackbird?

Excellent playing and singing. One of my fave Beatles songs. Thanks for sharing it :slightly_smiling_face:

That was awesome! The perfect thing to listen to with coffee on a Saturday morning.

Great playing and singing all delivered with a quiet confidence. Well done!

As a relatively new player, it’s inspiring to see someone that is further along in the journey, showing an example of where I’d like to be some day.

Thanks for sharing!

That was really great! Thanks so much for sharing. This is one I’d like to learn, and only know a bit of it. I’ll keep it bookmarked so I can learn from it.

Maybe 2 months or so? I learned the fingerstyle part in about a month, but the hardest part for me is always remembering the lyrics.

I could never sing this and play it at the same time :joy:

You are truly talented!

Very impressive. I’ve been working on this one for a while but am unable to get it up to speed yet.
I enjoyed your presentation, thanks.

Sounds great. I’ve been surprised at how tricky the vocal is while still playing. Hope to be able to do it half as well as your performance.

Hi Ashwin,
Love the song and you played it well. The vox was spot on. I think the only thing I can suggest is to listen to this hard. Then realize the vox level is being sung with some real hard mic work on certain vocal spots. You might want to try and get that under control as it would improve your overall product. So in summary, work on your vox levels and shoot for more consistency there. One tip is that on louder vox areas of your singing, turn your head a little so your not addressing the mic so fully. Though, you also have to balance that with proximity effects!

All the rock’n best,
LB

bam, ball out of the stadium, home run…
Clinical precision without sounding stale (also because of a warm and enjoyable timbre)

Great production, tone and quality as well.

I can imagine that, when you’re not recording, there is even less tension and it sounds even more mellow.

Awesome job. not an easy one to play and specially not to sing with it. Respect!

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t think about that.

That was awesome. Do you busk at all? Would draw a crowd I reckon.

Nice! We got us a ringer here y’all!

You have this song down pat. The vocals, playing, timing are all spotless and you roll it off like it’s drop dead easy or something. Well done. Nice share!
