Amazing Grace - acoustic guitar

[666katch]

I love the way you feel, when you play. Just beautiful!

[jograd08]

where do you plug the rode nt2a?

[pinofluvius]

@jograd08 I have a small Behringer mixer I plug it into for 48V phantom power, then to computer. However, several sound cards have phantom power built in these days.

[BIGJOHN3212]

5 People haven't quite figured out the G chord yet . . .



[deerkillin911]

U should make a video an teach how to play it, that is an amazing version of amazing grace

[aflock89]

This is a stunning version of a beautiful song. Just found your stuff on youtube today and I'm loving it.

AF

[CyGrGuy]

D: Amazing!

[blranch8]

very well played !

[Patriksundvik]

Har du något bra tips på program man kan lägga till lite reverb?:) Sen undrar jag vart du fått backintrack ifrån. De lugna man hör i bakgrunden.

[bonarsmusic]

really nice arrangement, pretty much perfectly suited to this song. The open G style is also very sweet especially given the very sincere love of this song among both bluegrass and celtic music lovers. beautifully executed and lovely dynamics as well.

[69whomyself]

nice to see your back.

[Appalachianbluegras2]

People don't need to cuss on this song. This is a song for God. THis is amazing.

[85alextaylor]

I love this!! You and "Brandon Ray Collins" do my favorite versions

[pedrongpedring18]

great!

[imfallindontcatchme]

this looks fake (fake as in ur "playing" to music!) i play guitar and im smart enough to know that the strings VIBRATE when they are played!!!!!!! im sorry if offended you if this is real, but it sure doesnt look real!

[zilex10]

@imfallindontcatchme lol.. they you ISNT smart, you can see its a open G hes playing in..

[TheLegendaryLoboSolo]

@imfallindontcatchme You can't be serious right now.

[RickarD119]

@imfallindontcatchme

stupid little fuck, just enjoy this music.

[sillyboo7]

@imfallindontcatchme lol dude i stared at his guitar and fingerings.. and when i played it it sounded the same...

[xViiCTiMz]

I am currently finishing off learning this song and already learnt forever young your such an inspiration. Thank you keep it up

[pistonguy33]

Thank you for sharing your talent and taking the time to help the rest of us by posting your videos and tab. I follow your videos regularly and I am continually amazed at how how easy you make it look. Thank you for inspiring those of us who suck so, so badly on guitar, but hope someday not to. You are truly gifted and an inspiration to all of us wannabe's. Thank you very much, and keep the videos coming. You are in a class of very few.

[mstriton]

I know this is not a typical post you would receive on a video...last night my Grandmother past away. She had two kids, and many grand children. She was born in Scotland, and her and my my Grandfather brought my father and his sister to Canada via boat. Grandfather played bagpipes as does my dad today.

So hearing this song on guitar, I feel so many things right now. But I just want to say you are very talented, and you play it very well.

[13Bbeetle]

absolutely great. "Amazing"

[fuckenskank]

I'm not telling you to post a tab. but you really should post a tab...

[MrCaseybartlett]

is that in standard tuning?

[kobe3002]

@MrCaseybartlett No...it's in Open G tuning :)

[Magrefitting88]

God... When I die, that's the song they'll have to play.

[hehungblameless]

we need you at my church during wednesday night prayer service... way better than me :)

[95dpo]

i love it! do you have a tab online?

[joshuathered]

[scottycreations]

[misslantana52]

[IAlberdi89]

This's just awesome!

[CamzillaAttacks]

5 people need Jesus

[121jigawatts]

Sooooo beautiful Martin. Dripping with emotion and the guitar just takes a backseat. I love the little swells in the backdrop too.

[FFGlovak553]

greatest version ever and ever will be for the rest of man kind

[tkim67]

I don't often comment on videos but I have to give it to you. I've heard and sang that song stleast a million times since I was a kid. But honestly listening to that was like hearing it for the first time. Bluesed up gospel how sweet it is, how sweet it is.

[darkai300]

[krassip61]

Brilliant!!! Amazingly gracefgull...........

[gabetreacy]

[MsMEHowe]

Beautiful version of this old hymn. Thanks for sharing it with us all!

[KoreaXFan]

Hi Martin! I was just wondering which song of yours should I begin with if i have little experience in fingerpicking?

[Wisc414]

Could i possibly have the tab for your version. It is amazing

[tnmusicman1]

Dang!!! I didn't expect such a blessing from this!! So so beautiful and full of soul!! I would love to hear more. Play that at my church during the invitation and there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house !!

[65PonyBoi]

[fckinlovebeans]

hey martin!

i think it would be brilliant is you did some lessons, on things you think are important!

it would be great to get lessons on youtube off someone you clearly see would be giving great advice as apposed to the hundreds of lessons on here were we dont even get to see if our teacher can play!

this is all subject to you wanting to give away your secrets or not of course!

thanks

charlie

[thinkfree63]

Played with such grace.. This beautiful hymne was never sung with such expressiveness and purity ever before.. It must bring even the cold-hearted to tears. Thank you! Kind regards from The Netherlands.

[6stringwood]

Hey Martin, I thought I would take some time out of my day and listen to you again.. and watch.as you make every vocal note that guitar has to offer... sing that song to perfection, I am simply moved with chills up and down my arms. Sweaden has produced an amazing guitarist, and I am grateful to be your friend here in the states.

Thanks again for sharing another beautiful song. Keep in touch! Your Friend Jim

[RichardFeynmanRules]

Could this song be played with any more soul and skill? Thank you. Many tears here today, at the loss of a friend. Listening to this was healing.

[nikjayroof]

absolutely beautiful!! made me cry :)

[57tele57]

great feeling !!!

[TheMiccce]

Det finns ingen gitarrist i sverige som kan spela med en sån känsla som du martin. helt fantastiskt bra. tack för att du visar oss hur musik ska låta.

[hvachessler]

Very nice Martin!!

[MrMusicSweden]

Hej Martin,

Du är lika grym som vanligt :) Helt fantastisk version!

Har aldrig hört nån som spelar med så mycket känsla. Hatten av (igen)

[snapperjohn1000]

the psalms tell us that those who play the strings hold a place dear in the heart of god,and recieve special blessing from him, i think this proves to be true.

[CygnusatratusZ]

Man, God is in your hands, and your hand is a so beautiful example about what the hand of God can make. A lot of blessings, as I have felt blessed hearing you... Take care, God bless...

[julittok]

@CygnusatratusZ god has nothing to do with this, this is hard work. you can pray all you want the only way is working hard.

[dziuniek22]

great!!! greetings from poland

[broundog2]

Wow!

[sargentchris2]

hello,,, im amazed by your talent.. what tuning are u using on the amazing grace song. and is there a tab u have for it ?

[anmeinersaite]

Hi Martin!

Wonderful!!! Perfect arrangement and played - great sound!

Best wishes

Thomas

[bowman62rd]

Around my part of the country, about the only time you hear "Amazing Grace" is at a funeral...often done by pipes. Recently, the song has hit too close to home.  SO, it is with a "good tear" in my eye, that I have listened to, and newly appreciated hearing this song, in an uncharacteristic version. The quiet, subtle notes you played have been played with a smile, and FOR the purpose of a smile. And the next time I hear the song, in the "oh so familiar" place, I shall smile. Thank You.

[omaniboyful]

Woooow!! you are briliant martin!!!

[aaro987]

Glad to see you, Hope your come back with some new arrangements.I don't play guitar since 5 year.I love picking and discover it from Marcel Dadi who first join partition with disc or cd. When i see you playing I'll play again in a few week.

Thanks boy for all your music and hope it's for long time . Thanks very much

[setimental123]

man your an inspiration and a half for a 16 year old like me,whenever im stressed out i just stick on one of your arrangements and im relieved. I hope one day i will be able to see you on tour.

[hitorque246]

you are very best for me !!

[ichthus70]

a teacher of mine...

[giovannimiami]

Ok...  Well that was a surprise, a pleasant one. Thank you...

[MyMorningView]

Well done sir!

[Hullaballooable]

Excuse the pun but thats amazing.

[jharri1]

As usual, a BEAUTIFUL, emotional and heart-felt interpretation! Such a beautiful song, beautifully and masterfully expressed.

[AndanteLargo]

Hej Martin,

I am so happy to see you were found again. I missed you, you know. YT wasn't the same without you. For sure! Hope everything is OK with you.

As always, I admire your music. Amazing.

I was in STH last week with Marie. She loved it, even if is was cold and foggy. We met a lot of nice Swedes. Now she want to go back in the summer. :-)

Love,

Per-Olov

[matzac97]

Excellent ! ;-)

[cruelwilsonism]

What you posted here is such a beautiful rendition of this song. I always wanted to do this song on the guitar in this exact way and now you have shown us all how to accomplish that through your talent......I can not stop listening to it.....You are so very very inspired and have also inspired others!!!! Thank you again..........

[guitarsalert]

whats the mic?

[gnoziz]

Detta är riktigt riktigt bra! Speciellt med gitarren stämd i öppet G. Jag fastnade för din version av The Rose också på Loef:en. Helt fantastiskt skönt att lyssna på. The Rose sitter hyfsat nu, så det är väl dags att lära sig denna också. Tack för taben!

En sidenote. Jag fick provspela en av Olavs gitarrer för några år sedan i en musikaffär på västkusten. Vilket mästerverk!

Keep up the good work!

[redavide1]

Wow -- nice! I like the synth pads -- very subtle but add a lot . . . Beautiful guitar too.

[jhldsc]

this is great. I put your link on my Facebook page

[stevehsiao]

[121jigawatts]

Amazing player here youtube. Beautiful control, gorgeous tone (most of it from his fingertips) and best of all a song giving glory to the One who bestows such talents on us! I love music that sings without words, it's not as easy as it looks folks.

[ironmonger100]

Just lovely :-) ... and I'm enjoying 'Acoustics' very much.

[smile740]

I've heard many versions of "Amazing Grace"so far and yours is one of the most beautiful... I love your playing :) Thanks for sharing and take care :)

[falconer333]

Strange, I was searching for a version of this the other day and couldn't find anything decent, and then you do this and put them all to shame! Nice one man.

[Aarrmehearties]

[lisannhodges67]

Sir, you are quickly inspiring me to pick up this type of playing! Every one of your uploads gives me chills.

I have a question, what good acoustic guitar would you reccomend for this. I really want a good quality guitar with low action all the way up the neck.

Thanks for the upload :)
