Displaying the top 10 out of 12 reviews for "Blackbird"Wonderful song. And it included both piano and guitar music, which I love.
Charlene_Whalen
I bought this piece of music for my boyfriend.
He loved the music.
When he started to play it, I was so thrilled that
he was able to negotiate it. Good Job to musicnotes.
CatBowers
Love this arrangement. Not too difficult and true to the Beatles.
LyricRebecca
This sheet helped me a lot counting myself through the song. Since I found out about some changes of time it was much easier for me to mach up with it.
Marion_Lafferton
This lovely Beatles song is better suited to the guitar, but if youre looking for a well-written, accurate piano arrangment this is the one to get. Well done!
I_Am
This is a simple, elegant song by the Beatles......very easy to play and enjoy!

I wish it was available in a different key (A Major would have been great) Many time signature changes and an original speed that seems a little too fast makes it difficult. Lennon/McCartney know what they are doing and it's a beautiful song. Make it your own if you can.
