I’ve also been working on Blackbird. But the actual way that Paul McCartney played it. He never learned Travis picking, and only used is thumb and index finger, and he kind of “flicks” the strings with his index finger. I learned this song before, not the McCartney way, and it’s been pretty challenging changing lanes and trying to play like the original. I saw an interview with him, and he kind of showed how he does it “wrong” and jokes about it. It sound pretty right to me.
