For my free inquiry project I have decided to learn the song ‘Blackbird’ by The Beatles. This song has been on my bucket list since I started playing the guitar over ten years ago. For this project I plan to use Youtube tutorials where musicians post lessons on how to play the song. I can sing certain songs well now so I believe eventually, with practice, I will be able to sing and perform the song for the class.

Generally I play songs which primarily require strumming. ‘Blackbird’ is different in that it requires more finger picking with no strumming. I believe practicing this song will further my guitar playing skills as well as satisfy my desire to be able to sing this beautiful song.

I am looking forward to this process!
