All right, so this is this is Amazing Grace
I'm gonna be kind of short about it because I've every times now and
the computer bunked out ten seconds of both of them, so
All right, but that's not your fault that's my fault so
It's in the key of B flat
Normally when I play this I use a pick
It just really [Bm] helps to get that kind of driving rhythm with the tech
[Gb] It's an essential skill for all bassists and
[B]
You should learn how to do it because Carol Kay is so funky and she did it so [G] you can too
So
[Bb] We're doing it B flat if you're doing it a different key
You just start in a different place [Eb] or learn it and B flat and learn it in whatever key you're doing
The intro is just bouncing between the B flat [Eb] and the E flat
[Bb] so
Walk up
[Bb]
Who breaks the power
[D] So that's all it is for the intro [Eb] just walk up and then
[G] King of glory [Fm] the king of all [Eb] king
[Gb] So the [Bb] verses are just B flat
[Eb] F E flat
[F]
[G] F sharp G or F G [F] F
[Eb] [B] So that's all there that's the whole song that's it [C] over and over again
That's the same thing a couple little things on dynamics at [G] the end of the second verse or right before the choruses
[Eb] I like to
[B] Slide up to the octave [Eb] on the same string so if you're playing this at the sixth [B] fret
You play it at the 18th fret
[Ebm] Sometimes if you're playing
[B]
Slide up until it sounds right I
Think [G] it adds a really nice bit of tension.
[Gb] I
Really like tension in the bass line and then resolution of tension, but that's me again.
So
Let's just whip through this
If anything sticks out to me, [Eb] I'm gonna I'll stop music and I'll tell you what I'm thinking
