Amazing Grace with Improvisation
This is a very rudimentary improvisation version of this tune. Don't expect much! lol With only 6 months of learning, I'm still learning and having fun!

I recorded this last month, but only now sharing it here. It's Amazing Grace with some improvisation which is sketchy at best. But considering my limited time in learning the viola, I'm happy with it.

Great job, JohnG. Yes, those pegs are very nice!

They came with the viola, Cecilia. It's a relatively inexpensive beginner viola.

You're doing good @JohnG, especially considering the time you've been playing. You look quite at ease ?. Improvising is fun, keep doing that!

I love playing Amazing Grace. I find it can be changed up so much. I don't know if it is the song that accommodates variations, or just that I find that I can actually play it. Thanks for the videos, @JohnG, I love listening to them.

Thanks, it has a memorable tune and is simple enough, but with sufficient structure to allow changing it easily.
