[D] _ _ _ [A] Hi, I'm Lisa McCormick and in this mini lesson I'm going to show you how to play the traditional
song Amazing [E] Grace using just three [A#] chords, G, [D#] C, and D.
[F] Amazing Grace is in 3-4 time,
so I'm going to use a loose, relaxed strumming pattern in 3-4 [A#] time that will go [A] like this.
_ _ We'll _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ also do a little melody solo for this song in case you want to play it along with
other musicians or play it along with this video.
At the very end of this video I'll show you a slow motion close up view of that melody
solo to make it easier to learn. _ _ _ _ _
