Anyone want a challenge?

Post your version of Amazing Grace here in two weeks (Sunday May 19)

An original version is preferred but playing someone else’s arrangement is fine.

Pedal/non-pedal/dobro whatever. Do the best you can.

(Delete if this isn’t kosher)

Mickey Adams has a teaching version .......

why wait !

One track from a 6 track Gospel CD completed in 2018.

I believe this link will work. Someone click on it to make sure, please!

Not the best work, but it's something I threw together for a radio show a few years ago.

I missed my own deadline. Mines a lot less polished but the best I could squeak out at the moment.

I would like to join in on the challenge, Have to get our version loaded.

Amazing Grace is an interesting song to play. For the past couple of years I did a stint with a band at a monthly Fri night dance, the closing song was always a Gospel song. Typically everyone in the room would stand in a big circle and hold hands while we played the praise song.

One time I called Amazing Grace, we played it and all of a sudden people were slow dancing (3/4) to a Gospel song. HUH ?

It became a Fri Night favorite, so much so that other bands were requested to play Amazing Grace as the last song of the evening ! Go figure.

There's a neat story behind that John Newton song.

I hope Fred Justice is watching. His is my favorite version.

only 4 posts with a track ! really ?

I personally would love to hear many different players versions, novice to pro.


It's not a contest ! Its not about who's is better or worse

Its supposed to be our version , not posting a version done by a pro or someone else.

Its family.

Well, Ok here's the pro version .... very moving piece by Lloyd Green.

Absolutely Outstanding Tony !! What type of compression are you using?

Billy-

I hope you would reconsider putting your version back in. As it was mentioned, this was not a competition, but your expression of a great song. Besides, yours was a version that I personally could really get into.

Thx Greg for that , much appreciated.

I track everything direct , this track uses compression on the DBX 376 Channel strip printed to the track , along with EQ. Nothing extravagant . I do use a quick and simple T-Racks Mastering Suite profile mostly to even things out and keep the levels consistent. Not to be considered PRO Mastering by any stretch. But for Home , Net or Demo use its a nice tool and user friendly.
Listening back to the MP3 it seems it's a tad more compressed than the two track wav master, probably from the 128 MP3 conversion . Oh well !

Listening to each of the posted tracks, we have a really fine group of players hanging out here ! I personally enjoy listening to each. I'm just glad to be a part of the party ! Plus we actually get to SEE Bob play, how kool is that !

I hope Billy puts his track back up as well.

Rick Barnhart, I hope your watching Pal, if someone will help me put it on here I will be glad to.
I tried copy & paste and that don't work.
