Amazing Grace – Arrangements for you

By 3 Comments

In deep gratitude John Newton wrote ‘Amazing Grace’ over 200 years ago. Ex-slave trader turned preacher, John knew first hand God’s amazing grace!

Later, John Rees wrote the last verse, which is my favorite verse:

When we’ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun. There’s no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun.

I’ve made a video for you with 3 arrangements of ‘Amazing Grace.’ Quite a few little kids are using my kids guitar lessons program and I didn’t want to leave them out. The first arrangement is super simple for kids to play.

Here is the music for the arrangements of Amazing Grace. Below is the video.

Volune One Books

By

To help you use the worship guitar class DVD’s in class settings books are now available for Volume One. The book has all the songs with musical note, the teaching, and tips.

Pastors have asked about buying extra booklets to use for teaching classes, but I only had the copyrights for 1 booket per DVD. The books solve this problem. All the copyright are paid plus the teachings in the book will reinforce what students see in the DVD.

It’s the 4th item on this page.

Musical Notes

By

Musical notes in the Western World are the same on any instrument. Here’s a 5 minute video showing you the notes on the piano, solfege, & guitar. You will learn what a movable ‘Do’ is and why the notes have different names in different countries. Solfege is the term for ‘Do Re Mi,’ etc.

The video starts with a piano, then shifts to applying what you learned to the guitar. You should be able to figure out any note on the guitar. To master the notes, it’s easier to learn a few at a time. I like Frederick Noad’s ‘Solo Guitar Playing.’

He was one of my teachers and I learned classical guitar from this book. It’s available in most music stores and I’ll put it on my site too. If you want to learn the notes, I would expect it to take about a year and you’ll be able to read music up and down the neck of the guitar.
