Hey Eric! Welcome!
The PickAlong lessons don’t have tabs and are made for playing along with like a jam, rather than learning an arrangement. However, Ben does have lesson arrangements/tabs for Amazing Grace on all three instruments:

Hi Ben. Got to this first pick a long and I’ve got to say I’m totally confused. What your doing on the video isn’t what’s on the tab and I still don’t understand the Nashville Number System. Watched 3 times. Any advice?
@nhorgan23 I’m obviously not Ben, but I might can help. The point of the pick-a-longs isn’t to play a specific break for a song. Rather, it’s an opportunity to play in a jam-like setting with other instruments, where you get the opportunity to practice your back-up and any breaks that you want to try all at once. It gets you ready to play with other folks.
Regarding the Nashville number system, there is a lesson on the site regarding this that you might want to watch. That should clear it up. It’s a really useful tool once you get it figured out.
Hope this helps!

Howdy @nhorgan23! As @rspillers said, there isn’t tab for what I’m playing here. Be sure and watch the lesson preview on the lesson page. It’s about jamming and using your eyes and ears to try playing along. If you do want to learn a tabbed break, they are elsewhere on the site if you search for them.
