How to play Amazing Grace fingerpicked

[@2ndBirth]

Good stuff. Praise God for saving a wretch like me.

[@joannefigov6026]

Wow, this is perfect for people like me who are not musical, can’t read music and just want to learn a few chords, some strumming and easy picking. Even I could do this! 😂 I have wanted to learn easy picking for my favourite Amazing Grace. You are wonderful thank you and totally get it! ❤

Darn, I just gave away my '99 Martin HD 28 to my favorite Niece. Guess I will have to do it on the Banjo! I have not touched my instruments for over three years! great lessons, thanks!

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Your niece is lucky! It's the same chords (although the chord shapes are different) on the banjo. You can use the same picking pattern too.

I have more of a soprano voice, so love harmonizing with you on this one. Home therapy during Covid-19 times in Bergen, Norway. God bless.

Wish I could hear it. Glad I'm part of your therapy. Music is always good for what ails ya IMO.

This can also be played to the tune of "House of the rising sun". I like both versions. I prefer the traditional but the other can be fin too.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Awesome 👍! I'm an arthritis sufferer and was in great hope that "finger picking" might improve my condition. This has proven to be a journey in futility, but watching and listening to your music is both relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing and although I haven't seen progress or hope of progress on the part of my arthritis, I enjoy your demos.

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thank you. Have you talked with your doctor about playing? It could be that playing could help your arthritis. Maybe strumming would be better for you?

[@waynegilchrist1596]

@@JamieAndersonMusic I have actually, he was the one who suggested that I try the guitar as a path towards greater dexterity. A lot of complications that I have are due to a severe compression of my neck which left me a total quadraplegic in the 1980s. A lot of rehab, several major operations, and some God given determination put me in recovery and I fared pretty well until the last few years when arthritis began slowly depleting me of my mobility and giving me pain. But I don't quit or give up easily and I will keep at it. Thanks for your reply and keep those videos coming. I still enjoy them.

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

@@waynegilchrist1596 Glad you enjoy them. Your health issues sound overwhelming but you still have a good attitude. Have you considered the ukulele? It doesn't take as much strength to play as a guitar. I have uke lessons on my channel too.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

@@JamieAndersonMusic no offense but I literally loathe ukes. I am quite the harp man. I have played the harmonica at least 60 of my 70 years. I'm a fair guitar Strummer when I feel fair but I have long admired finger picking which takes more dexterity than I am able to render. But thanks for your concern and replies. All is well.

[@PMCraig]

Hi Jamie! I’ve been practicing the fingerpicking versions of Amazing Grace and Silent Night. Is it okay to only press down on the G and B strings when fingerpicking the A chord? Since you’re only picking the base string A and the G,B,E strings it seems fretting the D string of the A chord would be unnecessary. Just easier and more accurate for me as I have larger hands. When I strum an A chord I do it in the normal manner but fingerpicked it’s much more evident if I accidentally mute one of the strings. Your thoughts?

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

It's best to play the whole chord. Even if you aren't plucking it it will resonate with the strings.

[@PMCraig]

@@JamieAndersonMusic Hmmm... that’s interesting. I guess I’ll go back to fretting the entire A chord. Thanks!

[@MaryCochrane]

Beautiful

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

Thank you, Mary.

I first learned to play guitar in high school. The choir director had started a new class called "Folk Guitar." I'm eternally grateful to him that he taught us finger picking in equal measure with strumming AND required us to sing when we played. I can't use a pick to save my life, though. 🤣🤣🤣

This is great! Any chance you doing the same for the ukulele?

[@JamieAndersonMusic]

I haven't posted many ukulele videos because they aren't as popular as the guitar ones. But this can be adapted to the ukulele. Use the same chords, it's just different chord forms, and the same picking pattern will work. Numbering the strings from bottom to top the pattern is 432123.
