"Amazing Grace" - advanced harmonies, fingerstyle solo guitar
Hi,
Amazing grace -- really a very beautiful song. Many years ago, when my children were just a couple of years old, I sang this song for them, when I brought them to bed.... Today they remember the song, even though they don´t remember, where they have heard the song. Over the years, I learned a little variation here, and some beautiful harmonies there, and heard different versions of other musicians. My version is a little bit of all of that.... Trying to keep the song alive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNatSJFCPQk Hope you enjoy it.... Many greetings Gerhard http://www.gerhardgschossmann.de/

Loved your jazzy chord melody arrangement of this song Gerhard. Your guitar sounds so resonate - love the tone!

yes, when I started gathering the different chord-variations I found for Amazing grace, it always remembered me to the kind of music of the 1920-1930 years. I like the kind of Fats Waller with his stride piano style and for me, this kind of music sounds likes a mixture of blues and jazz.... and in that direction the harmonies led me for my version.... Many greetings Gerhard Gerhard Gschossmann Stuttgart / Germany

I like it!
Making a familiar, beautiful melody more interesting without losing the original feeling is a tough challenge. You have succeeded admirably.
