Jim McGillivray plays "Amazing Grace" on the pipes - * Free Tune Download
In this exert Gold Medallist, Jim McGillivray plays "𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲" on a Blair Digital Chanter. The hymn has become a song that inspires hope in the wake of tragedy and is particularly moving on the bagpipes. * Download the (free) "Amazing Grace" sheet music (pdf) - pipetunes.ca/amazing-grace and play along.
The original words to "Amazing Grace" are the life reflections of John Newton, a slave trader who nearly died in a shipwreck and eventually became a minister. He penned the famous words for a sermon for a 1773 New Year's service (at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul).
The narrative of personal redemption throughout the song tugs at the heart and soul and fulfills a deep need for peace both in the individuals hearing it, and those who perform. In 1972 the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards recorded an instrumental version (featured) arranged for the bagpipes.

I like that tune! Never heard it before, and it is now my next project. Thank you!
Brilliant well done
Sounds lovely! May I ask, what chanter, chanter reed, drone reeds and bag?
Outer Tenor: Balance Tone Inner Tenor: E-zee Drone Bass: Balance Tone
GDE's?

The on-screen title of video seems misplaced.
This is my new favorite tune Mr. McGillivray! Thank you so much for composing it!
Glad you like it!
This is great - many thanks!
As usual great teaching!
Beautiful tune👏🏻👏🏻
So cool to play an instrument that old if it talk then stories it would tell 😊
Great to see the series continuing!! Love to hear the history and stories behind the tunes as well! I really like the tune too...
Beautiful tune, Jim!!
I want to learn that one!
What a great tune! Thank you.
Lovely tune! Many thanks for sharing.
Love this series!!! I recommend this to all our band members. Thank you for your great knowledge and sharing. So looking for more!!!
Very nice Jim, thanks.
Right on! Season Two, here we come!
Great news! I'm looking forward to Season 2. 👍
Congratulations Jim !
In the heavy throw from D, should the grace in the grip portion stay a D or become a B like other grip-based embellishments?
Yes, D gracenote, not B. JM
Great explanation thankYou 🦘
Couldn't be clearer, thanks.
Couldn’t agree more. I believe these series are the clearest, most accessible lessons available in the history of piping.
Very good teaching clip..
Loving the videos and lessons Jim. Could you make a breakdown for “lament for the little supper” from your rhythmic finger work- piobaireachd book pleaser
Former student of yours! Glad to see you're still the incredible teacher I remember.
Welcome back!
I am a piper but nowhere close to your level. I started in 2012 but as I play tunes due to a shift in PM of our band we had been taught some of the basics but not how they work together. I found your channel thru an email for one of the suppliers who sold your books and I purchased both. I found your website and found music where I could print it and download it. Subscribed to your website and purchased some credits for sheet music for the tunes and most of the more popular tunes for teaching and for students to work with. You are the best and also get a chuckle out of your two videos that I also have. Thank you so much for being out the for those of us who endeavor to learn the pipes. I am probably as old as Duff but not quite that level I am pretty sure anyway. LOL Thanks
This is really nice of you to say (and to remember old ‘Duff). 😉Thanks for this.
I am fairly new to piping and probably will never be a proficient, but these videos are invaluable. I doubt I'd even think to try Piobaireachd without this resource. I will watch these as long as I play the pipes and as long as they are available, thanks Jim.
Glad to help. Try to have fun with it.
Jim.. a question about temp of this tune...for a lament your example is quite quick..almost that of a salute...for competition purposes could one play it slower...?
I don’t that much subscribe to the idea that a lament must be played slowly and a salute quickly. Whether a lament or a salute, the tune has to maintain interest. JM
What are your thoughts on using the high A with the modified fingerings? Also, the high G, which this tune doesn't have.
The piob. high G leaves the F finger on the chanter. The alternative high A, leaving the F finger on the chanter instead of the E, is quite acceptable. JM
Thank you very much. I'm going to compete with this tune for the first time in piobaireachd and light music next year. I'll be using the Company's Lament, and this video was a great help in explaining parts of this tune.
@@lockfordian best of luck.
Interesting about the history of the tune. The first thing I did when I heard that was look at March for a Beginner in the Kilberry book; the variations are similar to Company's Lament, but it's not quite the same tune.
Helping me for sure. Kind regards
Thanks
Thats fanatstic Jim, i am going to learnt that tune, its provided the inspiration i needed!
This is awesome…. Thank you Jim
Congratulations for your encouraging work. You are helping most of us, humble amateurs. Thanks very much indeed.
Can you help me master my 2/4 solo march "Inveran"?
I don't really have Inveran on my list of tunes to do. There will be other 2/4 marches. JM
World class. Thanks so much. Loads of coaching here many would spent $$$ on and you get it for free. Definitely a must watch/follow along with to tighten this famous tune up.
Much appreciated!
Ah, now I understand what’s been missing in my strathspey. Many thanks Jim!
Thank you for the lesson Sir. This coming from an old geezer learning the pipes.
Hi Jim thank you for sharing this video. Amazing
Hi Jim exellent vidéo as usuel,i have your books, finger works and piobaireachd since years now ,and they will last forever as exellent books for every stage pipers.

How do you know when to play a reel in the open style or not? Just by researching in piping community?
Hopefully you have some connections to the pipe community
@@piperian3962 It's a preference thing mostly. Some old reels lend themselves well to a more pointed style, others not so much. JM
I've wondered that myself, it does seem that you need to have some connections in the piping community as piperian says. I would recommend lessons from a known name if you can afford them as the nuances of piping can really only be taught from higher levels pipers and they can also point out what you are doing wrong because they can bring to your attention things you are doing that you are unaware of.
Piping instruction gold. I wish these videos would have been around when I was a beginner piper. ❤
@@mwaters5134 spread the word😉
Thanks
Thanks for this very helpful. Here have an algorithm boost.
Thank you.
Thanks Jim Great timing for me.I've just taken up MacKay from Skye.Your lesson is really helpful.
Fantastic Jim! Reel good!
