Default Amazing Grace on a Collings

It just seemed appropriate to play after hearing about Bill's passing. Glad I was able to be around him a little bit over the years.

Hi Allen,

That was really well done! Beautiful playing and beautiful sound.

I just got back on line after about a week absence to go to a family reunion. I had no idea that Bill Collings had died!

What a shame! He certainly left us a great legacy though! A life well lived!

- Glenn

Very nice, Allen... very touching, very appropriate. I'm grateful for the time I got to spend with Bill. The man changed my concept and appreciation of guitar sound. He will be missed.

Thanks everyone. There isn't a lot to it, kind of simple actually. But sometimes less is more, in my opinion anyway.

I put my earphones on at work just to hear this and it was worth it. I wish it was a bit longer but it was good.

Well played! You should check out Martin Tallstrom on YT. He has an amazing version online with a free tab.
