Wow, this is perfect for people like me who are not musical, can’t read music and just want to learn a few chords, some strumming and easy picking. Even I could do this! 😂 I have wanted to learn easy picking for my favourite Amazing Grace. You are wonderful thank you and totally get it! ❤
Darn, I just gave away my '99 Martin HD 28 to my favorite Niece. Guess I will have to do it on the Banjo! I have not touched my instruments for over three years! great lessons, thanks!
Awesome 👍! I'm an arthritis sufferer and was in great hope that "finger picking" might improve my condition. This has proven to be a journey in futility, but watching and listening to your music is both relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing and although I haven't seen progress or hope of progress on the part of my arthritis, I enjoy your demos.
Thank you. Have you talked with your doctor about playing? It could be that playing could help your arthritis. Maybe strumming would be better for you?
@@JamieAndersonMusic I have actually, he was the one who suggested that I try the guitar as a path towards greater dexterity. A lot of complications that I have are due to a severe compression of my neck which left me a total quadraplegic in the 1980s. A lot of rehab, several major operations, and some God given determination put me in recovery and I fared pretty well until the last few years when arthritis began slowly depleting me of my mobility and giving me pain. But I don't quit or give up easily and I will keep at it. Thanks for your reply and keep those videos coming. I still enjoy them.
@@waynegilchrist1596 Glad you enjoy them. Your health issues sound overwhelming but you still have a good attitude. Have you considered the ukulele? It doesn't take as much strength to play as a guitar. I have uke lessons on my channel too.
@@JamieAndersonMusic no offense but I literally loathe ukes. I am quite the harp man. I have played the harmonica at least 60 of my 70 years. I'm a fair guitar Strummer when I feel fair but I have long admired finger picking which takes more dexterity than I am able to render. But thanks for your concern and replies. All is well.
I first learned to play guitar in high school. The choir director had started a new class called "Folk Guitar." I'm eternally grateful to him that he taught us finger picking in equal measure with strumming AND required us to sing when we played. I can't use a pick to save my life, though. 🤣🤣🤣
Hello Jamie, do you have a video on how to play Ave Maria? This would be great, I am learning how to play the guitar, slow but am trying, also do you recommend a guitar that's affordable but sounds good? Thank you, love your music.
Hello Jamie, I enjoy your videos, and I love yo ask if you would please teach how to play PHOTOGRAPHS, I love the sond and would love to learn to play it.
Hi Jamie! I’ve been practicing the fingerpicking versions of Amazing Grace and Silent Night. Is it okay to only press down on the G and B strings when fingerpicking the A chord? Since you’re only picking the base string A and the G,B,E strings it seems fretting the D string of the A chord would be unnecessary. Just easier and more accurate for me as I have larger hands. When I strum an A chord I do it in the normal manner but fingerpicked it’s much more evident if I accidentally mute one of the strings. Your thoughts?
Hi Jamie! Thank you for another great video. I think you mentioned that your song request list is lengthy. Are there any Dwight Yoakam requests on the list? Keep up the great work! 🤓
I haven't posted many ukulele videos because they aren't as popular as the guitar ones. But this can be adapted to the ukulele. Use the same chords, it's just different chord forms, and the same picking pattern will work. Numbering the strings from bottom to top the pattern is 432123.
This was very nice! Thank you for sharing Jamie! I wish I was better at the guitar. I subscribed & liked for you, won't you as well? Many thanks! 🎹🎹🎹🎹😎😎❤
There are so many arrangements of this song there isn't a standard tempo. Play it slowly at first. Once you master that, gradually speed it up to the tempo you desire.
So what’s the chance that a 61 yr old who loves music but does not know how to read music or really anything about music, learning to play the guitar? I’m retired and would like to learn.
First, you don't have to read music to play a lot of instruments. Second, I've had students in their 80's learn to play for the first time so there's hope. :) I suggest the guitar or ukulele. Here's a good beginning lesson for guitar: ua-cam.com/video/B2gsoXyu5pE/v-deo.html
Good stuff. Praise God for saving a wretch like me.
Such a beautiful song! Thank you for the lesson. The fingerpicking version makes the song even more beautiful.

I have more of a soprano voice, so love harmonizing with you on this one. Home therapy during Covid-19 times in Bergen, Norway. God bless.
Wish I could hear it. Glad I'm part of your therapy. Music is always good for what ails ya IMO.
Thanks to your lessons all I need is the time signature and chords and I'm off to the races. I can fingerpick all my favorite songs now!
Excellent! Keep playing.
Wow! That is amazing. You are the best can wait to try this song. Thanks
Darn, I just gave away my '99 Martin HD 28 to my favorite Niece. Guess I will have to do it on the Banjo! I have not touched my instruments for over three years! great lessons, thanks!
Your niece is lucky! It's the same chords (although the chord shapes are different) on the banjo. You can use the same picking pattern too.

✨Thank you Jamie for this lesson 😃👍
You're welcome.
This can also be played to the tune of "House of the rising sun". I like both versions. I prefer the traditional but the other can be fin too.
Just the ticket - I was looking for a easy picking pattern for 3/4 time in general and Amazing Grace in particular - thanks :)

Very good instructional video.
Would love to see a lesson on fingerpicking Ode To Billy Joe by Bobbie Gentry.
Thanks. I'll add that song to the list. It may be a few months before I get to it.
I don't have enough money for the guitare, but you made me have the faith, i will have my guitare one day.
I hope you get one someday. Playing music is a great gift to give yourself.
Beatiful. Thank you

I'm not sure what song you mean. Who is the artist?
Jamie - add me to your waiting list - Michael J
Write to me through www.jamieanderson.com and I can put you on the list.
Thank you for the lesson. Could you please teach how to play Give Thanks? I like the song very much. Thank you and God bless..
I'll add that to the list. It's a long list so it may take me a few months to get to it.

It's best to play the whole chord. Even if you aren't plucking it it will resonate with the strings.
@@JamieAndersonMusic Hmmm... that’s interesting. I guess I’ll go back to fretting the entire A chord. Thanks!

Mam Jamie please teach the chords and strumming techniques of the song tiltled Precious Lord Take Me Home...God bless u and more power...
I don't know that song, sorry.
Hi Jamie! Thank you for another great video. I think you mentioned that your song request list is lengthy. Are there any Dwight Yoakam requests on the list? Keep up the great work!
🤓
Glad you enjoyed the video. No Yoakam on the list yet. What song is your favorite?
You’re The One or The Heart That You Own.
Is it possible to put the .pdf chart music on Google Drive like you did for Leaving On A Jet Plane? The screen shot isn’t very clear. Thank you.
Already did. See the link under the video.
Got it. Thanks Jamie.
What is the best advice for the pinky on the picking hand.
Lift it out of the way. A few of my students like to rest it on the pick guard.
@@JamieAndersonMusic Thank you. I am progressing very slowly. I focus on fingerpicking.
@@pauldebruyn4389 You're welcome. Keep playing!
This is great! Any chance you doing the same for the ukulele?

Jamie Anderson Thank you... it’s very kind of you to provide this information... I’ll have a go...
Would like this printed out. How can I do that?
Take a screenshot then print it.
Hope you can teach this to Liam one day. 😊
Happy to do that. He's a good player already.
👌
Thanks Jamie. Was wondering is your picking hand hovering or are you resting the palm on the guitar?
Hovering.
@@JamieAndersonMusic Thank you. Is it possible to also post the bass strings for each chord in the song? Thank you again
@@suzannemiczki5436 The A bass note is 5, A7 is 5, D is 4, and E is 6.

How do I remove the letters I can't see your fingers
I'm not sure what letters you mean. Perhaps it's something your device or service adds?
thank's
You're welcome. Please check out my other lessons. There are over 500 at my channel.
Jamie - I want you to teach me guitar - Michael
I teach via Skype. I'm fully booked right now.
Do I mind if I ask. I pulled the 6th chord
Is that supposed to be?
I'm not sure what you're asking. If it helps, use your first language and I'll see if Google translate can help us.
What is the speed of this song.
There are so many arrangements of this song there isn't a standard tempo. Play it slowly at first. Once you master that, gradually speed it up to the tempo you desire.
Teach from beginning PENTATONIC SCALES
I don't have a lesson with all of them.
That’s call PIMA finger picking.
It's known by a variety of names.
