Amazing Grace Fingering Chart

Amazing Grace is almost certainly the most spiritually moving melody ever created. There was a PBS television special with Bill Moyers a couple of years ago devoted to making this point. A song of both sadness and joy, it was sung repeatedly on the Trail of Tears, and through the years these moving sounds have risen from many a Native American flute.

Amazing Grace can be played easily on a flute tuned to feature the major scale, but it can also be played on a traditional six hole flute which features the minor scale if you learn the technique of half holing. It takes a bit of practice to play the one interval in Amazing Grace which requires half holing. You have to hit it just right and it may work a little differently from flute to flute. Here is the fingering chart on a Native American flute by Stellar. Give it try ... play the beautiful and majestic Amazing Grace on a Stellar Native American flute!
