3. Paul McCartney – ‘Blackbird’
This acoustic beauty of a song was a solo performance by Paul McCartney, where the Beatle gently plucked away with a two-finger pattern on a Martin D-28 guitar. The only other sounds heard on this track are McCartney’s feet tapping (to keep his timing) and some birds chirping. McCartney wrote the song as a response to the growing civil rights tensions of the times in the United States.
