Blackbird - The Beatles (cover)

I was testing out how the vocal mic sounds with the Zoom and "Blackbird" was the test subject. Beautiful little song from the White Album, originally released in 1968 and written by Paul McCartney.

Guitar: Stonebridge OM32SM
Strings: Elixir Bronze 12/53
Microphones: APEX 460 (vocal) and Zoom H5 (guitar)

McCartney has publicly said that no one else has ever gotten it right. This might be the closest Ive heard. Maybe Paul should check it out😎

You do incredible justice to one of my all-time favorite songs. Thanks for this!!!

This is beautiful, I'm gonna learn this song fully now, been stuck with the first two part for years now.

You are number 2 on my blackbird search but last on the search list. I only have the black lady in front of you and of course the Beatles themselves but beautiful job I loved it keep it up

Amazing mate, hats off, so talented 👏👏👏🤯🤯

Mr. Heuvel, you are an awesome and talented artist.
May I just ask some questions?
1. Did you obtain a 4-year music degree graduate course or self-taught?
2. Do you play by ear or you read notes and tabs?
3. Are you a full-time musician or a hobbyist?
4. How many hours a day do you practice?
God bless you.
Thanks.

Such a beautiful video, just as always.

I just saw your time in a bottle cover and it was excellent. I really just wanted to comment you look cooler with long hair, (from another long haired guitar nerd). 🤘

[intersweat]

Nice rendition Corey. Are you gonna try this setup for your livestream?

[jackruby]

How come the YouTube police did not block this? This is a great performance. I just don’t get how they block some
Covers and not others. Nice work

Do you grow your nails out? I want to know how you get such a sweet fingerpicking tone
