I took guitar in high school. I found this exact sheet music piece in a parking lot. While everyone sat around plucking and learning music theory, I spent the entire semester learning it by heart and then played it for my grade at the end. My teacher was wide eyed and speechless. Lol. I didn't go on to be a guitar expert but I can still play this by heart somehow. I don't even know how I remember what to do haha
Me too. I learned to play Blackbird from a friend back in the late 60s. It's so intricate to play. Never knew till recently the history behind it. I was always interested in how he came up with it.
Jethro Tull’s live version on RUclips (French TV 1969 La Jocund) is by far and away the most prodigious rendering of this beautiful piece. Superlative musicianship displayed with amazing cameo solos..
Well played with accuracy! ❤ This piece is rather short but it demonstrates Bach’s genius of counterpoints to a great extend. Here the melody on the first string is overshadowed by the base line melody, rendering a convoluted mixture of notes, I’d like to see the melody line on the first string to be more of a prominent position, vis-à-vis a key note speaker in a dialogue where it can interact with the base line melody throughout the piece.
In a time of homelessnes I learned this 1:46 minute piece of greatness. It took most of a year. I've come to watch new technique and remember. I have forgotten the last one-third but this has already helped.
I didn't even catch that, thought it was the usual trill with fast hammer on and pull off, but he doesn't do it with the left hand it seems! He's probably choosing a fingering where the trill notes can be played on adjacent strings and then he does a kind of rasgueado-like tremolo I guess, where you alternate quickly between all fingers to strike the strings? (to me it sounds like that because it's very percussive sounding. If you use all fingers from pinky to index you can do exactly a 4 note trill)
Excellent but i think there's a mistake in the partition you play compared to the original. There's a missing part in the beginning of the second movement in the second part.
You must have the same sheet music as me. It's missing this little embellishment on the second to last part that I can't quite work out for guitar. I should put more effort into it.

NICE!!! such a great song, i’m out of high school too and this song is amazing for classical guitar
You never forget what you learn by heart.
Is there a grade higher than A? Because you deserve it
@@miguellacruz4751 say that again but in a different setting and it might win a Nobel prize
Muscle memory is real
The definitive version on guitar. As a child, my dad used to serenade me before bedtime every night with this on his flamenco guitar.
Can’t you see he’s the man let me hear you applaud
He is more than a man, he’s a shiny golden god!
If you think it's time to fucking rock and fucking roll all out of control
well then you know you've got to rock the fucking block
This is a glorious piece that even non classical enjoyers enjoy.
Yes I love Bach.
@@jacobbarnes1453 me too Bro, the master of polyphony
I definitely enjoy classical.
love to enjoy in the enjoyers as well . good post
Or those into Jethro Tull
Love it! I was watching an interview of Paul McCartney taking about The Beatles song “Blackbird” and how it was based off this.
That's what got me here too

Jimmy Page said Stairway came from this too.
Check out Jethro Tull's version on their STAND UP album.
Lyrics for the first part:
Can't you see he's the man,
Let me hear you applaud,
He is more than a man
He's a shiny golden god.
It makes me wonder
cant you see he's the man?
He is more than a man!

Sweet sounds in the morning sunshine...good day my friend.
I know this one from Jethro Tull back in the 70's. It starts like this and then gets more jazzy and wild.
Fun fact: Bach in German means small river/body of flowing water.
Fun fact: if Bach was portuguese, his name would be João Sebastião Ribeiro.
@@desiderioelielton2051 In France we call him Jean-Sébastien Bach (and we pronounce it Back) :D
@@aq6390 , in Brazil, we used to call him João Sebastião Bach, but now we do not do it, unfortunately.
Which is why Beethoven once said "Bach sollte nicht Bach, sondern Meer heißen", "Bach shouldn't have been called Bach (= brook) but sea" :D
Fun fact: in modern English Bach translates too “shiny golden god”
Well played bro.. A classic piece played in front of a classic scenery with probably a favourite drink.. What more do we need !!
Nice playing. Tums up. I had said there is a little more in the second section but... what the hey 👋
Yes there is.
Yeah! Agreed....
also the C in the bass at the end of the first section
Very, very beautiful rendition. I love it.
Stunning and transcendent playing. Not 'showy' at all, truthful! JEM
Thank you for playing this on RUclips, I have practiced this for years and don't remember the name. Now I can practice again with sheet music.
GORGEOUS BUDDY
Lovely playing! A musical performance!
I like the view from where he is sitting too.
This is what the dos eqious guy wishes he could do

Great job! sounds perfect, I was playing along with my guitar and it helped me find some errors.
У кого?
That was amazing your a guitar wizard 🧙♂️
I am learning the piece right now. Such a great performance. Watched it many times. Thank you
Beautiful
That is Bach and it rocks
It's a rock block of Bach
That he learned in the school
Called the school of hard knocks
Excellent performance!
Well played.
Thank you for playing my piece.
Que DIOS bendiga tus manos, tu corazón por regalarmps esta hermosa caricia al corazón ❤
Great playing!
Nice view.. Good playing..
Beautiful performance and a lovely video. Could've been perfect if the sound of the breeze outside had been captured.
¡Muchas gracias por la interpretación! El tempo es perfecto.
Wow. Just wow! 😌😁❤
Magnífico.
Very well played , enjoyed your rendition 🙏
wtf that thumbnail? :D
Hahahahahah 😂😂
*clickbait*
Bravo!
Well done! I'm still practicing this one. takes me 5 minutes for the whole thing with lots mistakes haha 😀
Amazing 😊

how romantic! ✨
Wonderful. I wish I could get my brain to make my fingers work like that. Fat chance. lol.
me : mum can we have blackbird?
my mum : we have blackbird at home
the blackbird at home :
also absolutely no hate. love this piece
Better than blackbird
Cool cool cool
Cuz if you think it’s time to fucking rock and fucking roll out of control
Very cool! Beautiful and fantastic!
I think you need to check the original score of the B section
Correct. I noticed he's missing a small part there. I've heard this piece too many times. Thought I was tripping lol.
He missed that part where

Should I still be learning this by ear or music sheets?
Excellent tempo.
I like this tempo
Nice, but how do you do that tremolo or trill? can you show us please?
Beautiful thanks.
Well played and with a very nice view ;D
Tão bonito
i have a contest today, and i'm playing that as the first piece! Wish me luck!
btw thats very nice playing
how’d it go?? great song choice!

Well done mate

Fantastic!!!
Very nice.
Wow.. nice idea of using such a mic to record
The inspiration for Blackbird (The Beatles)
heartbreaker
Very nice I like your work 👍

Amazing performance
How do you make the tremolo sounds with your right hand? Never seen this before
I didn't even catch that, thought it was the usual trill with fast hammer on and pull off, but he doesn't do it with the left hand it seems! He's probably choosing a fingering where the trill notes can be played on adjacent strings and then he does a kind of rasgueado-like tremolo I guess, where you alternate quickly between all fingers to strike the strings? (to me it sounds like that because it's very percussive sounding. If you use all fingers from pinky to index you can do exactly a 4 note trill)
Awesome scenery! Where is this?
in his house
It's somewhere on Earth
harlem nyc
Nice settings. Granada?
Been trying to learn this song fir about a month and it is not easy
Guitar and acoustic guitar
Did you get that right in the second part after the descending bass line you kinda start over my arrangement is different.
Exactly. It sounds better the way it was written. Nobody seems knows the piece, or have an ear for music. What a wasted effort!
This is the piece that inspired Paul McCartney to write the civil rights masterpiece “Blackbird”.
If you think it's time to fuckin rock
So Paul McCartney says he wrote his Blackbird based on this.
I bet most of the young hipsters who fawn over the Beatles now have never even heard of Bach sadly.
Outstanding
Excellent but i think there's a mistake in the partition you play compared to the original. There's a missing part in the beginning of the second movement in the second part.
Glad i wasnt the only one who noticed!
Magnificent
where is he playing this? the place is beautiful
Bravoo
The fact that he didn’t use a greenscreen, to honor this Bach masterpiece, is like and subscribe worthy.
Great performance. How long did it take you to complete this song?
As a complete beginner it took 3 weeks to complete the beginning at tempo this is my first piece and the piece that got me to learn guitar
whenever i reach this in my playlist i expect jack black to start singing
I can almost hear a Blackbird singing.
Excelente
You must have the same sheet music as me. It's missing this little embellishment on the second to last part that I can't quite work out for guitar. I should put more effort into it.
Wow
GIVE IT UP FOR KG GIVE IT UP FOR ME
Muy bueno
There is missing some phase on the second part twice.
Hello, I want to ask a question. Is this piece one of Bach's lute suites?
nice :) :D I like it!
Nice
Bellissima
Perfect!!
Complimenti! Mi chiedevo solo come mai manca un passaggio tra batt.12 e 13… 😮
What's the location?
Nice place.
Italy
Good, but you left out a few measures in the B section.
