I’m 53. This song made my fingers bleed at the age of 15. Over and over again I tried. I still play. With the exception of Sir Paul himself, I have never seen it played with such ease, pleasure and with such a lovely voice to accompany it. Thank you for sharing 😊 🎶
I decided at the beginning of Lockdown that I would learn this, or at least the Beatles version; at 75% speed I can (sort of) follow it once or twice out of ten. But it only takes one slip, and the whole thing goes to rat shit and I have to start again. As the Great God Tommy Emmanuel said, "Repetition is our friend)......
And Macca and I discovered how to play a B7 down at the nut round about the same time; he in Liverpool and I in Norwich....like him, I remember the euphoria as I realised that , with that knowledge, the world was my oyster....
Honestly one of the better covers out there for this song. Most people destroy it by trying to add annoying moans or excessive hanging notes. Thank you for not doing that.
Just because a person can go up and down and sideways with their voice, doesn't make it soulful. Stop it and focus on simplifying. A true musician can make the simplest of songs soulful. She did just that. Good job young lady.
Aria, that was a beautiful performance of Blackbird. I particularly appreciate that young people, who were born decades after the Beatles broke up, are still finding and appreciating their incredible music. Thank you!
"Blackbird" Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Oh, that Ovation sounds so beautiful with your voice! That is one old guitar! I am 62 and got mine when I was just 14. I still have it, looks just like the one you’re playing, but mine cracked when I was about 19. Still is the prettiest sounding guitar I own. You know that it is easier to play than most guitars...perfect for “Blackbird”.
She's so awesome l could fall in love with her. l've practice that song more times than I can count but I couldn't even come close to that version so she's just plain Ole wonderful
Along with Corinne Bailey Rae's White House performance, this is the best cover I've seen of Blackbird. The playing is so good too - it's not an easy tune to play. Bravo!
Really beautiful .... Nice singing and nice guitar playing. I was especially impressed by the ease with which she plays the guitar. After 30 years they lent me an acoustic guitar, I wanted to sing at my daughter's wedding. In the end I sang Hey Jude - but without guitar.My softened fingers after 2-3 days of playing the guitar hurt so that I was not able to play. I ordered a classical guitar with nylon strings. Hats off in front of this singer and guitarist!
Concordo completamente com o comentário de NETRO. Uma das melhores, talvez a melhor versão que já tenha ouvido para "Black Bird". Mantém a originalidade da música e a enfeita somente com sua extraordinária interpretação e maravilhosa voz, em uma belíssima integração!😍😍😍👏🏾👏🏻👏👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏👏🏼👏🏾👏🏻👏👏🏼Abraço daqui do Brasil!😘
hey, so sorry to bother but i recently posted a guitar cover of "blackbird" by "the beatles" on my youtube channel and i'd love if someone would check it out. thank you! 🥺💜
Wow I'm very surprised how good this is in currently learning this an I was just looking for covers to watch more on how to play the song an you my sister played it very well I love it Much peace love an light sister❤💌
It takes some time to learn, but it's really not as difficult as it sounds. Maybe I have longer fingers than most? Many Beatle songs are at a similar level of difficulty, in fact, or maybe I forget that in 1963 I was only 15 and could learn a lot of these tunes by ear thanks to my Dad who could sing beautifully - quien quiere?
Yes, Aria, this is it. Your voice is stunning and perfect for this song. Thank you for slowing down the song a bit too. While I love the original I always feel the pace of it is too fast. Keep going!
Reminds me of when I was a little child my brothers would play the Beatles songs and I loved this song the most out of all of them. I often wonder if that’s why I now love black birds ravens crows etc. This was sang beautifully I think I like it even better than Beatles version just stunning
Beautifully played, Aria. Also, if I may comment on the actual recording, an excellent job for an outside location. Whoever placed the mics knows their job. There are hundreds of cover versions of Blackbird and most fail because people mess up the fingering even if they have a good voice. You have a great voice and you’ve completely nailed the fingering. Oh, and you look much better than Paul McCartney too :)
hey, so sorry to bother but i recently posted a guitar cover of "blackbird" by "the beatles" on my youtube channel and i'd love if someone would check it out. thank you! 🥺💜
Russell G - they are still out there at OvationGuitars.com. The company has been bought and sold a few times. I have four, and I love them all. I play them out every week. 😀
Wow!, I really like how you played it and how you sing it. But it seems like your mind is somewhere else, it doesn't seemed like you are enjoying it. I feel like, you can do even better. And bashers, i am not putting her down. i think it's the location.....Great job.
que bonita version Aria........tocas la guitarra perfectamente.........bravo......--------- what a beautiful version Aria..........you play the guitar perfectly...bravo......
Wow! Solid guitar work and an absolutely beautiful voice. This song is out of my very limited range, but I did post a simple instrumental version of this. Check it out maybe?! Anyway Aria, thanks for posting this. Busking would scare me to death. With your talent, I can see why you would welcome it.
Dude, seriously? You're on like every cover video of this song that I've seen, and you didn't even bother to change your comment. There's not even a damn guitar in this one xD
bitovino Actually, it is not that bad, since a note is the perfect fifth in D chord... Nothing wrong with playing it in bass. The wrong part is on "Blackbird flying"... whatever she plays, it is wrong. The right chord progression for this part is: F, e minor, d minor, C, Bb, C... She got only two last chords right
I know it's been six months since this comment was posted but you just can't use the word "Wrong" to describe a cover. It's someone else's take on a song, there is no point in covers that are the exact same as the original.

djam precisely.
NETRO others try to hard and add auto tune, it's really annoying, but I like this because it's her, a guitar, the world and a microphone
Agreed, more is not always better :)

Aria, that was a beautiful performance of Blackbird. I particularly appreciate that young people, who were born decades after the Beatles broke up, are still finding and appreciating their incredible music. Thank you!
That's because the Beatles are timeless 😊 As a young whipper-snapper of 19 years, my favorite genres of music are 60's rock and 60's Motown.
@@eliya3424 Yeah they were a band of world stature with a lasting impact.
Aria, very good cover, nice guitar sound, nice playing and excellent voice, well done!
You sound like my math teacher

pahahah I just wanted to write Same than realized I WROTE the comment 😭 but you see I was telling the truth
I've been playing and singing this song for decades. But never have I come close to this amazing rendition. Just beautiful!
Love how natural your voice is. The way this song should be sung!!! Great job!
I wish I could press the button "like" a million times. This cover is so beautiful! I loved your voice :)
"Blackbird"
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life

Beautiful song...beautiful lady...great combination!!!
Can't get enough of this rendition!!! sooo natural..sooo good!
I love this I watched it several time great voice from a beautiful angel”
I have played and sung this song for 40 years. Don't think I am quite at her level yet! So sweet and fluid.

Wow simply beautiful done as well as the original absolutely stunning best cover ever well done and such an attractive lady as well ❤
This is how it should be sung. Beautiful
Yes simple and beautiful! The first cover i really like

Beautiful soothing voice and great playing. Young lady has a voice that can actually succeed in the music industry!
deliceuse et talentueuse !! de plus quel choix !! one of best beatles song !!!!!!!!!!!
The most beautiful cover of this awesome song I've ever seen! Simply amazing!
Beautifully performed and not overdone. That's exactly how this beautiful melody should be sung. Congrats!
Best cover for this song that I’ve ever heard...
I first saw this video 8 months ago and it is still the best cover for this song I've seen. So perfect!
Didn't see an Ovation for a long time. They made excellent 12 strings. Macca played it on one.
Muito bom, voz suave e ao mesmo tempo firme. Parabéns a jovem ao vídeo.
Such pure talent! This ☝️ tried by many, mastered by very few. On top of your amazing guitar work your voice is like a bell❤️ Very, very well done👏👏👏
Bravo!
Bravo!

I completely agree I was searching through UA-cam and her voice is so perfect

Simplesmente maravilhosa, voz doce e meiga.
Holy-smoke, what a wonderful performance. ❤
What a great cover, Macca should be proud of his song being covered by such artists as Aria Nanji.

Great job Aria! Really enjoyed it! One of my favorite Beatles tunes!
that's authentic....keep on picking ..from germany
Gorgeous cover! 🌻 thank you ❤, so far one of my most favorite Blackbird covers.
Yeah, that’s the way it’s done. You remind me of a young Joan Baez. Wonderful vocals and beautiful guitar 🎸! Nice job.
Well done Aria. Perfect sound of guitar whit finger p. and sweet voice. Like. Bye from Italy
really very nice well performed
You make it look so simple, yet it is such a complicated song to play. Just beautiful and your vocals as well. Gorgeous.

Beautiful tonal quality in her voice and guitar. Very pleasing sounds. Well done Aria
Yes, Aria, this is it. Your voice is stunning and perfect for this song. Thank you for slowing down the song a bit too. While I love the original I always feel the pace of it is too fast. Keep going!
Your beautiful voice has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Not many people pull me in like this. You have an amazing voice.
Awesome, I just love it ! Awesome picking, beautiful voice, by a beautiful musician and singer :)
Great voice!!!!!
Beautiful rendition of a Sir Paul McCartney/Beatles Classic by a talented guitarist⚘
Waited a L-O-N-G time but... Worth every moment !!!!

I would love to see you sing a duet of this song with you and Sir Paul!

Absolutely Divine! Very impressive Guitar and Vocal work. Hours and Hours of practice....Shows!
What a beautiful voice you have.
Yay! What a great song that was. Thanks for keeping it simple.
I loved this cover , thinked better that original. Congratulations. everyday i come here.
An excellet cover !. Great voice, great guitar, great recording.... thanks for sharing...
beautiful ;),
One of my favourite Beatles Songs! And you nailed it!
this is my favourite beatles song ! ..... i´m in love with you, aria :)
Amazing. One of my favorite song.
McCartney says that this was written about a black woman (bird) who was abused.
Wasn't it for Rosa Parks?
i love the voice of aria
Lovely cover. Beautiful voice and great playing. What is it you do on the "chorus"? It's different to how I play it.
A wonderful cover. Aria has the musical common sense to keep it simple, which is much the best way.
Whatever happened to Ovations guitars?
Russell G - they are still out there at OvationGuitars.com. The company has been bought and sold a few times. I have four, and I love them all. I play them out every week. 😀
@@hleyes Still have my Ovation Artist bought in 1975.
Beautiful job. great voice and great guitar picking. Thanks for sharing Aria.
Wow!, I really like how you played it and how you sing it. But it seems like your mind is somewhere else, it doesn't seemed like you are enjoying it. I feel like, you can do even better. And bashers, i am not putting her down. i think it's the location.....Great job.
Yep me to i think she is just sad :((( the world is sick and crazy place to be right now :((((
Maybe it's a dodgy part of time and she's looking around to make sure no one nicks the money in the guitar case?
She's in the song, and the song is pensive and a little blue. She performed it perfectly!
Ary magnífica interpretación de " pájaro negro cuervo " muy buena rítmica, métrica y voz todo excelente.

From what standpoint is there no guitar?
Dennis Anthonis I
I'm not o big fan of Beatles but some of them really touched me very deep and that one is among them.
Pity for that D7 chord with wrong bass in A, instead of D.. It would have been perfect!
bitovino Actually, it is not that bad, since a note is the perfect fifth in D chord... Nothing wrong with playing it in bass. The wrong part is on "Blackbird flying"... whatever she plays, it is wrong. The right chord progression for this part is: F, e minor, d minor, C, Bb, C... She got only two last chords right
BEAUTIFUL! And the singing and fretwork were second to none!!
Nice Ovation!
Beautiful artist here! Excellent guitar too...sounds fabulous...
Boss Baby brings me here
AKay Communications Ltd Me too. So beautiful I 😢.
Anyway boss baby version is still better than this :D
Same
Catchy and clever guitar tune. Simple enough for the average guitarist. Plays the guitar well but the singing is gorgeous. Exceptional
Every cover I seen the finger picking is always so wrong
Dude, it's not wrong, but it is different and fit's perfect to her singing. I like it!
Michael Koontz Knob
hyzercreek It is wrong because this is not picked it is strummed gently and fastly
hyzercreek I just commented it since we're pointing it out, I'm did not start it
I know it's been six months since this comment was posted but you just can't use the word "Wrong" to describe a cover. It's someone else's take on a song, there is no point in covers that are the exact same as the original.

Wow she sounds like an angel
Beautiful and talented!
From new Zealand-Beautiful Aria. Fantastic guitar work and beautiful vocals. Well done.
honestly this particular song means a lot to me and has made me cry quite a bit, hopefully it will be on spotify or deezer someday😖
Absolutement belle ! A perfect rendition. Greetings from France.
This is the best blackbird cover I’ve ever seen, it’s perfect!
Martin J she nicked it from Sarah McLachlan, exactly
