The Star Spangled Banner ------------------------------ Transcribed by Howard Wright hakwright (at) gmail (dot) com This is not the way Jimi (Hendrix) played it. What I've transcribed is the basic tune. What he did was to liven it up, use a lot of hammer-ons, bends, trills etc not to mention machine gun noises, feedback and teeth. You'll have to work out for yourself the way he played it. If included a few slides ( / = slide ) because I think it sounds smoother that way. Anyway, the tune is very simple - it's what you do with it in terms of bends, slides and 'extra bits' that makes it more interesting. Have fun - and be creative !
