Author/Artist: Jimi Hendrix Title: Star Spangled Banner Album: Live at the L.A. Forum Transcribed by: Adam Strachn Email: CookieMonster912@hotmail.com Tuning: 1/2 step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) I just put the main parts you can understand. Since Jimi changes the psychotic madness with the whammy each time I'm not going to really put down the parts where he goes of on the 'solos'. This is just like he plays it though. With all the extreme bends and vibrato! Also, Jimi uses a lot of feedback in various areas in this version. Tab Key = b = full step bend or more v = vibrato (with the whammy bar or with your fingers) ~ = let note ring or sustain h = hammer on p = pull off /slide up \slide down ? = use the wah pedal if you want to (sounds pretty cool) ? = Whenever you se bv~ that means a very rapid bend and vibrato to get a whammy bar sound. And you should go off every now and then into some heavy feedback solo kind of thing. Listen to his version to get the idea of how to improve this stuff. -----------------0~-|--4--2--0--------------|---------------------------| -0------------0-----|-----------------------|--0--0--9bv~-7--5h7p5--/4~-| ----1-----1---------|-----------1--/3--4bv~-|---------------------------| -------2------------|-----------------------|---------------------------| --------------------|-----------------------|---------------------------| --------------------|-----------------------|---------------------------| --------------------------|-----------------0~~~--|--4h5p4--2h4p2p0--| -2--4--5bv-5bv--0---------|--0-----------0--0~~~--|------------------| -------------------1------|-----1-----1-----------|------------------| ----------------------2b--|--------2--------------|------------------| --------------------------|-----------------------|------------------| --------------------------|-----------------------|------------------| This below is a cool little slide.
