Amazing Grace (Harmonics)


Tab and Notes by Chifuru "Chief" Noda

You can play the entire melody of Amazing Grace using harmonics. It's a cool way to spice up the tune. Time: 3/4 Tuning: Standard Key: G Major The fret indicated below is where you left hand finger touches. You do not press the string down - you lightly touch the string as your right hand plucks the string. Immediately after that, you release yiour left finger. Let all notes ring, except possibly E note (5th fret, 6th string) in measures 3 and 11 which seems to collide with the next D note.
