Paul McCartney Explains Blackbird

Paul McCartney: Parkinson Show December 2005

SUBTITTLES:

my conclusion bites on the show and you sort of said great and says
we've got film you wont need to do anything then he says Paul did you bring
a guitar

go yeah, but I'm not really prepared he said well no but you know I'll hand
you it which he's just done

ok I'll tell you what the only thing I was thinking of doing It's not really performing just, just explain a little things like before. I did that jenny Wren at piece and its kind of its like a finger picking style that Im not actually very good at Risa

so its got this little sort of its got a melody going on the top and a bassline going at the same time and I was explaining to the american audiencies what How that sort of started it was because me and George used to sit around learning all the

old the basic rock and roll chords but there was one little thing we used to do which was sort of semi classical thing, it was a little show off piece we had well it was actually classical but we made it semi

we didnt quite know it you know but it was played a thing by Bach anyone like this

so and actually goes, "didi dow didi dow didi dow di di dow dow dow ..."

we dindnt know that second half

and that was a bit we went wrong but I always like this little so years later
I then adapted in into the song Blackbirds
take that sort of maybe
