I finally learned amazing grace. my friend Tomas said it was really hard
Really? It’s not that hard.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing the notes. But the second part, the second D should be a high D. The fingering and notation are all middle D.
Thanks.
Kevin
on amazing grace the 2nd part the high d was written, but the fingering showed as low d……so I am wondering
Patricia

I really enjoyed playing this song over and over again! Maybe, you could add more songs to play.
I’ve played them all already. The second part didn’t really sound like amazing grace though.
Best wishes,
Camille.
