Hello Patrons 😃

Here's a new Blackbird transcription by Brad Mehldau.

Also, my first Mehldau transcription on this channel.

A lot of contrapuntal voicing in this one.

... ... ... ...                                                                     

Some notes about the transcription: ✍🏻

You might hear some top notes ("diamond" notation) in m.1.

I don't feel like its harmonics, but it's also too soft to qualify as a real note. 

... ... ... ...

Make sure to tie these notes in m.23 & m.25. Those are my fingerings, and lines represent their duration. Feel free to use other fingerings, but make sure F is tied to E for the minor2nd crunch.

... ... ... ...

(yes, brad mehldau can reach an 11th easily)

Feel free to opt out the top note or arpeggiate (but sacrificing cleanliness).

... ... ... ... ...

Blackbird - Brad Mehldau Transcription

Oh yeah, first Mehldau transcription! ... ... ... ... * you might hear some faint top notes ("A-G-G") in the RH on m.1, might be harmonics, but it's too soft, I didn't include it. * measure63 : not sure the m2/M2 interval is intentional here, so it's up to interpretation. You'll never know cuz it's Mehldau :) ... ... ... ... ➽ From Brad Mehldau plays The Beatles (and More): https://youtu.be/iOFo28LrgPQ?t=4991 ➽ Blackbird, Performed by Brad Mehldau, Music by Lennon & Paul McCartney ... ... ... ... ➽ Support my projects (Get the PDF!) https://www.patreon.com/posts/68508755 ➽ Want a tune transcribed? write me at corneliustsen@gmail.com for more details. ... ... ... ... ✌🏻

Your transcriptions remain the finest I have ever encountered Cornelius - I am not just saying this; I mean it. When you get the chance, I would really appreciate the transcription - thank you!
