 Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg Thanks Greg. A family member of mine recently passed away. This was truly comforting.

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg Thanks again, all for the kind comments. Sacrosanct wrote: Your arrangements are always fantastic, Greg.
I hope we can dig into song arrangement as a group at the next Vancouver seminar. Perhaps even do one from the ground up, as an exercise? Something simple, a song everybody knows. We can definitely talk about simple song arrangement in Vancouver. In the meantime, have you checked out this video? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1IJpL6zoXM[/youtube] Marty6126 wrote: Great arrangement. I'll have to add this arrangement to my Stick bucket list. So much to learn, so little time... Marty, here are the chords I used, in case you want to take a stab at this approach: GMaj | B7 | CMaj | GMaj Emin | A7 | D7 x 2 GMaj | B7 | CMaj | GMaj Emin | DMaj | CMaj | GMaj There are different voicings throughout, with an occasional 7th added The trickiest part was playing the high GMaj in the 2nd verse. Have fun! extremely helpful thread page re-embedding:[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxZsOMqsayI[/youtube]

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg It was a treat beginning a lesson with you playing this piece as Skype connected. This arrangement is a really good one. Any chance a StaffTab chart exists for it?

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg Magnificent music, as always from you.
So sorry for your loss.
My dad passed away last month, still feeling his absence.

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg That was definately one of the best versions I´ve heard of that song. Beautiful playing too. Well done, sire!

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg Again, I just want to say thanks so much for all the kind comments. Luc wrote: It was a treat beginning a lesson with you playing this piece as Skype connected. This arrangement is a really good one. Any chance a StaffTab chart exists for it? Thanks, Luc, I'll try to put one together eventually. Working on several others currently...more about that later..

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg greg wrote: It's always a risk, playing a tune like this. You wonder if people will want to hear it AGAIN, and what you can bring to it. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this piece. greg wrote: Asked to provide music for my recently departed Aunt's memorial, it seemed like a good selection, and it's a tune I've never arranged before so it presented a nice manageable challenge. The chaplain suggested it before I could, so it seemed destined to be.
I set to it, trying to come up with some chords that made it more interesting to my ear, and I liked how it turned out enough to want to make a video. Love the arrangement and your playing, a beautiful tribute to your aunt. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Amazing Grace arranged by Greg Very inspiring, I'd love to be able to play this on my stick. I just started in on your DVD lessons, I am going to try learning this as well. Thanks for sharing so freely, and for the quality DVD as well.
