Topic: Amazing Grace

Looking for a good blues or bluegrass version of amazing grace.  I've been playing for about a year, and can pick up songs pretty well if there is a video involved.  Usually look on youtube, but could not find any.  Ideally, a video lesson that includes chord names or tab.

Thanks!

I believe Woody Guthrie was the first I know of to do it ,but anyway I play Amazing Grace using the chord progession of The House of the Rising Sun and fingerpicking it sounds nice.

Looks like a pretty complete rundown on a very nice version of Amazing Grace.

Thanks, James.  I actually had found this video and really liked it.  The only problem is that the man teaching the lesson does not offer tabs or standard notation and his left hand is often out of frame.  I think it will take me a long time to figure the song out with what is available to me in the video.

Thanks again for the link.  If you know of anymore, let me know.  I'll keep looking as well.
