Amazing Grace in Open G

Flailing flatpicking version in Open G tuning of Amazing Grace. This is long-winded and spontaneous but shows how to play a relatively easy version of this tune reverentially slow and/or bluegrassy fast. Open G tuning lends itself to some open droning strings for this song.

Thanks for posting. Great stuff. Can you redo the video I would like to see what your right hand is doing.

[guitarmandoguy]

Yes, I'll try do another video of this. I feel like cleaning it up and getting a better video view of things. Stay tuned and I'll try do it in a couple of days. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

That's some nice playing, i just tuned my 6 string banjo to open G for the first time...this really helps thanks!

[guitarmandoguy]

Thanks for the comment. Six-string banjo? I didn't know there was such a thing? Open G lends itself to so many interesting things that I'm forever dabbling in it (like a kid in a sandbox).

Jack, you are way too fast. I only posted this minutes ago. I have been meaning to respond to your new videos , and will do so soon . . . . you've hit a lull on posting YouTube videos too (me too). I have been keeping an eye on your channel and know about the ebb and flow of postings. Sometimes it works and sometimes you just can't get to it.

[bigtorquehemi]

[demagetube]
