The Story Behind Amazing Grace (Fingerstyle Guitar Cover)

Описание: Amazing Grace - John Newton (Fingerpicking Cover)

In 1748, a violent storm nearly sank a slave ship in the North Atlantic. The captain, John Newton, cried out to God and survived. Years later, he became a minister and wrote a hymn about his own transformation - a wretch who was found, a blind man who could finally see.

"Amazing Grace" is the most beloved hymn in the English language, recorded over 7,000 times. Tonight I'm fingerpicking it simply and slowly, the way Newton might have heard it in his own heart.

FINGERPICKING DETAILS:
Key: G Major
Pattern: Simple arpeggio (great for beginners)
Tempo: Very slow (~66 BPM)
Feel: Humble, grateful, peaceful

2:30 - Verse 3 (Through many dangers)
3:30 - Verse 4 (When we've been there)
