    Sticking with something that we can all gradually play regardless of experience or ability. I hope this will get some of you lurkers to jump on board.

    "Amazing Grace" is a hymn first published in 1779 by John Newton, an Englishman who worked on slave ships. On one voyage, they came across a nasty storm and Newton thought the ship was going to sink. After they made it through, Newton became deeply religious and - after a few years of backsliding into his old ways and reaffirming his faith - became a minister. He wrote this based on his religious conversion, and how God saved him even though he was a "wretch."

    The song fell out of favor in Newton's lifetime but was revived in the 19th century during the Second Great Awakening of religious fervor in America. It remains a popular hymn to this day.

    There are going to be a lot of different versons out there, I have even found a "swing" style! I'm linking a few tabs and a couple of videos', but you can go down a deep rabbit hole on this one. Good luck and hope you'll post.

    Did anyone find any tabs or suggestions on the harmonies beyond the free part of the videos? I could see where it was headed and played the first phrase or two but I’m not subscribed to any of the lessons so I didn’t get more than the first part.

    I’m ashamed to say I never really worked on this month’s SOM. C’mon somebody post a video!

    I have been distracted from the TOM or SOM or whatever it is but I can't let this one go by without doing a video. I didn't think I would do one at all but this morning I changed my mind. So this is pretty much spur of the moment. The video is just the plain raw unedited video as recorded; no trimming, cropping, titles, or special effects.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Otto, I do like your doublestop tremolo. Mine just goes to pieces when I go from one string to two strings.

    NDO, I'm seeing the video on my windows PC. Here is the link: https://vimeo.com/716260863?embedded...owner=46979634 .

    No link for me either, using Firefox on Windows. Thanks for re-posting it Hank.

    Update: I do see it using Edge on Windows. So, Chrome probably works too.

    I see other videos in Firefox. I wonder what's different about how this one is posted.
