Johns Notes;
There are thousands of ‘Amazing Grace’
arrangements. I have arranged this famous gospel
tune as a short ‘stand alone’ chord melody guitar
version. You can easily extend this tune by
repeating it. I may add another verse (probably an
octave higher to add interest) when I have the time.
Just pick up your guitar (electric or acoustic) and
play at a tempo you choose. Slow or fast it is
instantly recognisable and great fun to play. A
member played this in her church recently and it was
very well received!
It’s based on a simple 1-4-5 (A-D-E) chord
progression with a few embellishments using
‘shell chords’ (partial chords). There’s also lots of
useful ‘techniques’ you can use in other tunes and
arrangements.
Regular students should have little problem
playing this tune, and if you want a ‘one to one’
walk through with me just ask when you next
attend class.
