5-String Banjo Tutorial -- Classic Hymn "Amazing Grace"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 май 2019
- Hear this tune played with guitar rhythm backup (slow, medium, fast) starting at 10:26. Guitar chords are provided on-screen.
This is an instructional tutorial 5-string bluegrass banjo lesson teaching my version of the popular John Newton hymn "Amazing Grace." Possibly a different approach than you might have seen before.
On this video I teach the tune lick by lick, phrase by phrase, using on-screen tablature, then I put it together -- slowly at first, then faster toward the end, adding rhythm guitar audio overlay and on-screen chord prompts.
Free tab sheets (PDF) and play-along tracks (MP3) for this and many other tunes are available at my website, www.littlerockbanjo.com.
Hope you enjoy.

Singing the words helped me a lot (to know what I'm trying to play) Finally a leson that makes sense. I can play most other instruments but this banjo don't agree too well with me. I think I can do this
By far the most helpful lessons on the internet.
Great video. I'm 51 and just started learning to play. This was easy to follow and understand.
Good stuff .. clean nice arrangement .. thanks
We’ve missed you
Just a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much.
I started learning the banjo from scrap and by ear since the start of the Pandemic.
William I can’t say enough, that your learning method have and is still helping tremendously in my learning. Now I can play a few of the gospel tunes you’ve put up on a moderate speed. That’s good enough for me now at 58. I’ll give you a 5-star for your methods. Cheers.
Better than OK Bill. Awesome. 🎶🙏🏼
The best banjo version I've heard
Your banjo videos are my absolute favorite. You're so sweet and wholesome, and it feels like all of us subscribers are your grandchildren.
Nice version. Learned it. Love it. Thanks.
I was worried you'd stopped uploading, I need these lessons in my life
I’m so tired rn that I read your comment as “I feed these lessons to my wife” 🤣🤷♂️
I have to lay this at Church this week and needed some ideas. Thank you sir, I'll be doing this as my break.
This version of Amazing grace is the most beautiful to me. It seems to me that it is real bluegrass. Thank you for this beautiful arrangement. I think it will be a pleasure to play this beautiful anthem of peace. Friendly greeting. Ivan
It took me 2 weeks, but not due to the instructor- definitely a slow student! The rest is on me- practice and with your arrangement- that part is easy! Thanks for doing this.
Hello thank you so much for your banjo videos it helps me a lot
Glad you’re back Bill. All the best from the UK.
It's great to see you back. Thank you for this.
Really have missed your videos, glad to see you were able to put some new ones up 😊 !!
Another great lesson. Thanks, Bill. I use your backing tracks every time I practice.
Love the Arrangement! Such a beautiful song. You've really done it justice
You're back with another video! Excellent--I have learned so much from your teachings. Hope all is well and you are inspired to pump out a few more. Thanks a ton.
beautiful! I play this song on the harmonica now I can learn on the banjo. Thanks for sharing
finally you are back! Many thanks! great learning video as always! Viele Grüsse aus der Schweiz!
I think I've said before you make some of the best arrangements!
Excellent lesson. Thank you so much for posting this great tune. You're the best!!!
What a coincidence, I am visiting my brother in Virginia and I brought my Banjo to play some tunes for my nieces. They asked me last night if I could play this song for them.
Great timing, now I can....thank you!
Great
Great!Thank you.
I just bought a banjo this week, I got a long way to go..
Thanks Brother!
Yes sir , very nice . Amazing grace is one of a special kind of a song . It's played in a 3 time beat instead of a 4 /4 time . Most songs are 4/4 time . It's why this song kinda special , other than well ...........the obvious reason 😉😉wink wink .
But then again ,another special song in a 3 time beat .... The Happy Birthday song ..
Thanks Bill
nice
Please upload more!! ❤️❤️❤️😃😃😃
Bill... love your version of Amazing Grace... also especially liked your arrangement of Old Joe Clark very much... bit challenging with the F chord but practice practice. Any chance your might apply your talents to "Wayfaring Stranger"? Lots of interesting chords in that. Keep up the good work. You inspire me and I'm sure many others.
Do enjoy your arrangement and your helpful comments. When you sing along it helps one remember the music. Thank you.
Hi William, it would be great to see your face once in a while🤔🙏🏽

Trying to play a bit of #badmando on with it.
I actually went for the melody. I'm ~8 weeks in on mando (or any instrument) and am really loving learning it-- playing by ear. Couldn't be better, I think.
I need to find my banjo guy (you can see my three videos of him, "Leif On the Creek", and see if he would like to play against each other. Would be great fun, for me, anyway!
Cheers.
I really wanna learn froggy went a courtin and can't find any three finger style tab for it anywhere. My wife's grandma used to play it for her and I wanna surprise her. Can ya help a fella out?

Thanks, Bill for another great number! I really enjoy this one. What's up with your ring finger on your right hand? I can't even move mine it throws everything off.
I have to move mine. I can't keep it planted. I explain my opinions about this on the "Banjo Basics" page on my website. Everybody's built differently.
@@williamanesbitt Amen, well said! It would be boring if we all were alike . I was playing this before I saw this video but this is much better. Thanks again!
sorry about that I just saw that I had previously watch this video and giving it a thumbs up I guess that's right we're not allow me to do it again
