Bagpipe Lessons for Amazing Grace

For this bagpipe lesson Bill teaches you to play Amazing Grace. The tune is so popular that Mr. Joe Average mostly associates it with playing the bagpipes. There is something about this tune that people often draw a conclusion that to associate it with the Bagpipes.

Many of us still fond memories of it being one of the first tunes we learnt to play on the bagpipes and it is one of the most popular tunes to play in the public arena. John Newton is the composer for this tune and a search on the internet will provide you with information about him and the circumstances which caused him to pen this hymn.

Listen to a 1972 recording with Pipe Major Bill Robertson and the Pipes and Drums of Innes Tartan (New Zealand) accompanied by D.McCoomb on the organ.
