Enjoy. That's a parts Tele with SD Antiquities. Through a Kingsley Jester, Carbon Copy, DL4 (for loop) and into a Vox AC4. Sorry about the clams, this was just a one take deal I did as soon as I realized I could put Amazing Grace on top of the loop I had just created.

Wasn't he a former slave trader when he wrote it?

Very nice TS. That tune hits me where I live every time! I have done soo many versions through the years. I won a purple ribbon and a carrott cake at The Austin Friends of Traditional Music convention around '79 with a bluegrass version. Our pastor has us do it to the tune of House of The rising Sun from time to time...

I love that song. We play it live at a lot of shows. First time we did, I didn't tell the guys and just started it in the middle of one of our songs that was in the same key. It was awesome because they just followed along without a hitch (my bassist is extremely calculated so anything outside the "program" is a stretch for him).

Had a nice mild overdrive tone, used my neck pup and had about a 330MS delay going. We'll likely play it tonight at our Salvation Army youth gig.

Well, yes.

But it is a common myth that John Newton was so grateful for his ship not sinking in a storm (and losing his life) that he gave up buying and selling humans immediately after.

'fraid not. The storm happened in 1748. He continued in the slave trade for several years after.

The tune was a very popular melody at the time. He just put his words to it.

The back story doesn't matter too much to me. It's a soulful song. It's the blues of it's day and has moved enough people to be popular to this day.
