Thank you for taking the time to go through this lesson. I am just learning to play and wanted to start with this song. I've looked at several others before coming to your video, and it's just what I needed: slowing it down, visuals, repetition and time to play along. Many blessings to you!

[@mariasm6139]

Could you please let's us know about strumming a bit

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thank you!!

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

I sure will and will try to post something within a week! Thank you for your request!! Tim

[@ribman1954]

Thanks, Tim. Very helpful and well done. One question from an older guitar newbie: most places I see the D major with same fret positions, but only strumming first 4 strings. I notice you include the open A string. I prefer your way. Any issue with the A there? Sounds OK to me. Thanks again!

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Hey Gary, very good question!! Actually playing the open A string or 5th string OPEN is very much okay. I prefer it too because it provides a little more bass sound . And the “A” note is part of the D triad in making the chord anyway. The 6th string or “E” string definitely needs to be muted or not played. Again, thank you for asking this question and I’m glad you’re enjoying the lessons. Tim

[@AbasionoAkpan-kh8gt]

❤❤❤

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thank you!

[@mariasm6139]

Hi Tim I like to learn the popular song jambalaya from you. Your teaching is amazing.

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thank you!! I’ll be glad to show you how to play this song. Give me a few days!

[@mariasm6139]

@@TimGEdwardsMusic thank you

[@wilbertmurry6570]

Good information. I have a Yamaha guitar similar to the one you have and been going through this string thing, searching for an easy to play with a warm sounding string. What brand and gauge are you using?

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thanks for your comment! I use the Elixir Nanoweb strings light gauge 0.11-0.52. Attached is a link to Amazon. (Earns Commissions) amzn.to/3vqRWBa

[@wilbertmurry6570]

Thanks

[@wilbertmurry6570]

Thanks, I will check them out.

[@berechiah2024]

It seems your strumming down with the pick on the strings but then strumming back up with the strings. Is this correct Or is it only down motions only ?

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

That’s correct! I’m strumming all the strings on the down strum and just a few strings while strumming back up! Thanks for your question!! Tim

[@godisthereason9903]

Can you do a song called hotel California for beginners because you are good at showing use how to understand the chords better

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

I sure will. Please give me a few days! Thanks for the compliment and suggestions! Tim

[@godisthereason9903]

Your welcome

[@godisthereason9903]

Thank you. You are so welcome

[@godisthereason9903]

What are the other kinds of chords can you play on amazing grace on guitar

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thank you so much for asking these questions. In my playlist, I show three ways to play Amazing Grace. There is a version of “Amazing Grace” that includes additional chords of G; G7, C, Em, A7, D, D7. This same video also goes into a key change to A-major.

[@godisthereason9903]

Oh ok well you be able to go over the chords progressing that was not in the video on to another video because there might be another to go with the G. And D it’s kinda hard to go form C to G but is easy to go to G to D

[@libbyeldridge5353]

Are you just strumming down or is it up and down strums?

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Hey Libby, I’m just playing a simple down-up strumming with a little shuffle. 3 beats per measure. Thanks! Tim

[@godisthereason9903]

Are you doing the down up strum pattens

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Yes, I’m strumming the simple “down-up” pattern in 3/4 timing. This is one of my first video’s and I forgot to mention the strumming pattern. Most of my lessons I use the Down-Up strumming to keep it simple! Thank you for your questions! Tim

[@godisthereason9903]

Ok so when you do the first step strum for beginners you didn’t do the down up strumming

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

I’m sorry if I may not understand what you are asking! The first down strum should start on the first syllable of “A-ma-zing”…

[@lalremsangikhawlhring1413]

Thats might be a mistake 5:06

[@chrishughes9952]

How come the strum pattern is never mentioned?

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

You’re right Chris, I’m sorry! Thanks for letting me know! I just use a simple “Down-Up, Down-Up…” pattern. I use this pattern for most songs in keeping it simple. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Check out my other videos on how to play Amazing Grace too!

[@torcatoazevedo]

G' B7' C'/ G' E-' A-' D7 = corect

[@TimGEdwardsMusic]

Thanks Ernesto! Another good way to play this beautiful song!! Thanks for sharing!! Tim
