Star Spangled Banner Part Two

A continuation of yesterday. This was actually one of the first pieces I picked out on guitar. On my electric I would play it on the twelth fret and end in E.

I remember going camping with my dad early on when I was learning guitar. I could play this, the little riff from Guns and Roses Sweet Child O’ Mine and Pink Floyd’s Is There Anybody Out There. I had some guy say he would sing along but because of my limited vocabulary we weren’t able to make any music.

Wikipedia has a good article on our National Anthem which includes lyrics. Aren’t you glad I didn’t sing.


Here is the guitar tab:
