This Is Amazing Grace

Minimum skill needed to play

You can play this song if you are comfortable with an even and quick paced strumming pattern. The chords are fairly basic and the 5 and 2 chords are even easier when playing shapes in G. While the tempo and strum pattern is generally quick, there is a lot of space between chord changes.

Chords and chord transitions

You can play the chords of the original key using G chord shapes with capo 3.

Use the Chord Shape Finder below to pick what chord shapes you want to play. Here's how it works:

• First choose the key of the song.
• Then choose the capo fret until "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and the chords listed in "Chord Shapes" are ones you know or want to learn. This allows you to play the song using chords and chord shapes you know while the song is in a key you don't know.
• View chords and chord transition pairs for suggested voicings.

What to watch out for

This song is quick with a focus on consistent strumming. If you are not comfortable and confident in your strumming, it will show on this song. On the other hand, with straightforward chord shapes, you will be able to focus on your strumming hand to improve fluid and consistent strumming throughout.

How to play this song solo

Pick a strumming pattern you know you can play throughout the song (when not playing alone). Be consistent with your strumming and change chords evenly throughout, and you'll be fine.
