I realise that Neil also explains that it's not written in stone.
In the context of Neils discussion how can they get the A or B note names when A or B are not notes in the chord?
What am I overlooking?

In Blackbird Neil explains that the second chords in Measures 5 and 6 could be named A7 and B7.

I am not so sure,,but with the singin note(is a A) you got all the the notes in A7 and and the same with B7..(singin note is B ), but thats how i see it,,all the notes are there..

Hello Willem
Thanks for the reply.
Neil did say implied chords....mm mm and although
A isn't in the A7 here two other notes of the chord are; G and C#
Same goes for B7 with out the B, but two other chord notes are; D# and A
Implied chords ....I think that's the point I'm overlooking!

A tritone is the 3rd and the 7th from the chord.
In the first chord it has C# and G, which are the (major) 3rd and (flat) 7th of the A7 chord.
The second chord has D# and A - the (major) 3rd and (flat) 7th of the B7 chord.
You're right, they are implied because they don't contain the root note of the chord.
They aren't really even chords because chord must contain at least 3 notes (another reason for calling them implied).
You don't really need to worry too much about all the theory. Blackbird is really just made up of small chord shapes moved up and down the fretboard and played against an open droning G note.

I think it's officially called, 'The Beatles' Dermot, if you are looking for it, but known as The White Album by most people because the cover was white and some vinyl (German I believe) was pressed in white. Others may have more info'.
So that's another for me to look out!
