This is the way I'd pick Amazing Grace if I picked bluegrass. But since I don't, this is the general idea.

Slacker G and Friends

Fingerpickin guitar The real thing folks.. instrumentals, Country, Southern Rock, Blues, ..... whatever.

We're mostly comprised of musicians that have paid our dues playing clubs and bars. I had quit for 25 years before finally getting any interest in picking again. Now we do not play as a group anymore, but we all have DAW's, and we send CD's back and forth to each other. When someone wants me to pick on their CD, they just mail the .bun file to me, I open it, record my part, and send it back. Since I have picked up a guitar again I have met quite a few musicians from the area that I had not met before. And I have jammed with some of them, and recorded with others. Most probably I will also do some projects with people I have met at SoundClick. As long as I like the song and feel I can ad something positive to it, I'll do it. I just get to use what I play on in my CD's as well. I work cheap, don't I? On the other hand, no one could pay me enough to pick on a song I didn't like.

Story behind the song

instrumental I always liked the message and melody of Amazing Grace. To me it is one of the most soul stirring songs ever written and given to us that freely declares the love of Jesus Christ towards those of us who have lost their way in life. 

  A little over 27 years ago I found the Lord and gave up picking in clubs. In fact, I hung up the guitar and never picked it up again until about three years ago. 
  This was one of the last things I recorded into a cassette deck back then. It sounds a little bright, but this is a Les Paul Custom, and I was trying to make it sound like an acoustic guitar with home made preamps. I think I came pretty close, and although it sounds rather fraile, I find I like the sound so I'm going to share it with you. 
  This is from a 3rd generation cassette tape copy of that origional, digitized by a friend of mine. Sounds pretty fair, considering it's a 3rd generation copy about 27 years old!!
