@@quailstudios no I can’t Personally. But luckily my buddy part times as an instructor at the music store we bought his guitar. So I got him some lessons and he’s playing during his free time. It’s great watching him it’s just not so great on the ears yet LOL
Hello, I heard 69 Hendrix at Woodstock. I was 16 at the time, visiting relatives in the United States. It was 100 km to Woodstock and we were there with 5 people. That changed my life and hendrix was the biggest for me at the end of the festival. Your tutorial is great. Greetings from Germany
I have learned this song in 2 and a half hour I still need to practice it but I've learned it so practice should be easy, a football coach at my school want me to play the star spangled banner at games, and I'm also going to be a manager for the team but your tutorial helped me. Thank you
i quit guitar in 6th grade, and this July my dad said to me “imagine how badass it would be if you plugged in your giant amp and played the national anthem for the whole neighborhood like Hendrix” I’m in 10th grade now and I’ve been playing the national anthem at every home high-school football game we’ve had this year, thanks for teaching me this song. sorry if this is hard to read, my dyslexia fucks me up when i need to type out long paragraphs.
It's a nice lesson and you seem to know how to play guitar very well in general, but you can't say it's a la Jimi if you don't play it at least similar to him. Jimi starts playing in the shape of E using open strings. That adds a lot to the distortion effect compared to using one or two strings playing fretted notes. I wasn't even going to comment this but then I saw how cocky you are about this subject, being rude to others in the comment section saying stuff like "maybe you fell asleep". You seem like a nice person in general but remember to stay humble 👍 and take this as a constructive criticism if you wish.
Hi War Rrr, thank you for the comment. If it's OK, I'll make a comment back. Being rude to people has never been my intention. Every person has a different view of music and life. My view is that we should try to develop our playing on a personal level. If Jimi had played The Star Spangled Banner more than once in public, and it had been recorded, I’m pretty sure it would have been different from the recording we have from Woodstock in 1969. I was 12 years old that year and guitar players improvised a lot. I'm not sure why you say, I can't say, "a la Jimi Hendrix" in the title. I'm playing in the same key and the same notes as Jimi. I hope that you understand that the E note on the D string 2nd fret is the same note as the A string 7th fret. It has a different timber because of the differences of the length and size of the strings, but it is the same note. In the description of the video I say, "The version that I'm teaching you today is in the same key but without the improvisational elements that he threw in here and there during the performance." It's important when a student learns a piece that they learn the notes. Personally I don’t care where the notes are on the guitar neck when someone gets started playing. For me, I think it’s important that players develop their own style of playing. Sure, copying someone else is beneficial to our development as a player, but developing out own style is important too. What you see in the video is where I chose to play the notes to help people learn them. For myself, I may choose to play them on a different string and fret, but the same note. This video was not intended to teach the way Jimi played The Star Spangled Banner but to get people started with the notes. After they get better they can learn how Jimi played it, if that’s what they want to do. Being rude to others? Hmm… I looked at all the comments and found the one that you mentioned. It was a reply to a comment made by Bryson Elbon. I said, “At 5:54 I play the part that you said I missed. That phrase ends at 6:01. Perhaps you fell asleep during that part? Cheers Bryson. Any other questions?” The question “Perhaps you fell asleep during that part?” was a joke. I was pointing out exactly where Bryson thought I missed and then I thought that I’d be lighthearted. Apparently not everyone gets that. I thought that the “Cheers Bryson” would be the key to understanding that the question right before it was not a slam, but a wink. Jokes don’t come across very well in texts and the comment sections of videos. If we have to explain a joke then it isn’t funny at all. Anyway, I appreciate your comment. Taking the time to write means a lot to me.. I hope this comment is OK. No offense is ever intended. Hal
@@quailstudios Hey, thanks for replying back. First of all let me just say I didn't meant to offend you as well, maybe a got a little rude myself when I said "cocky", even though that was the impression I had at the moment, but yeah. And to be honest, I was tired yesterday and shouldn't have wrote that haha. I see now, it's really stupid by my part. But thanks for being cool with it, I really do appreciate it. As for the notes, I do realize it's the same notes, but as I said in first comment, playing the open B string followed by other notes, for example, sounds different to me than the B fretted note on the D string because, playing the open string, considering you don't mute any string, it builds up that cranky distortion feeling... at least to me. Also, my bad, it's E, not Em. And yes, I did take Woodstock 1969 as a reference because that's what people think when they see "Star Spangled Banner a la Jimi", but you're right, Jimi likely played that differently in other situations, and you clearly have more experience with that than I do, haha, I wasn't even alive back then. Anyways, hope we're good.
@Timothy Lee seriously? What are you some kind of commie critic? Can you do better? No ones perfect and this man is giving out quality info and he's clearly an informed musician....
Well, you can get my book Evan. The tabs are on pages 259-260 of my book. Do you know about that Evan? Information about the book is in the description of this video. Email me if you have questions or want just that one tab. Support is very welcome and helps me to continue my teaching to you and many other people throughout the world.
Hello, I play the drums but played guitar when I was a teenager. I'm 53 now and I have a guitar and want to learn this beautiful song. I pretty much have it down after 4 hours. Your video is awesome. Tabs and the actual playing made it real easy. Thank you....I told my wife in about a month I'm going to put my cabinet with 4 15" speakers and my Mesa 150watts in the front yard and play it all day.. Thank you again..oh I live on a main road Should bring some video's 😂
@@quailstudios ugh no, I got it down up until land of the free then ran out of time. Next year though, I'll have it down by then. Thank you for the video though, it helped alot
That Yamaha is sort of a tele style so it's not too far off. But I know what you mean. I never liked the setup on a standard strat. I need to get a custom strat to fit my style of playing and put the volume knob in a different spot.
Could you do the raw version, though probably the only rebel song he did. With all the peacefui fire that the hippies respected, this was the late sixties that distorted anthem was meant to resonate with all the civil right protests. Though I think he never did melody cleanly, perhaps he was expressing a sadness and melancholy. It will be much appreciated if you did the original version as Hendrix intended. XxxxX
i didnt know francis scott key played guitar , ok , i could have funny , but wasnt , thank you , hendrix used open strings , and i wasnt born then ok , but it sounded like jets drive bombing like a kamakazi guitar-play , but it was clear , the end had a mountainng resolution that , to me , leaves you suggesting what are we as a nation , deep , but my guitar teacher was a hippie , i spunged up hair bands from the 80s , we stand on the shouders of giants as they say :-o .
Hello Rohan, I'm not sure exactly what you mean. This piece is in E major. Are you wondering which major scale, or pentatonic scale? And when you say ambient backing track are you talking about a backing track for this song or something else? If I hear the backing track then I can tell you what scale to use
@@rohan-ghosh You can play the Star Bangled Banner to the G drone backing track if you play the song in G instead of E. It would start on the D note of the G scale. The D note if found on the B string 3rd fret. Do you know how to do this or are you still learning about scales?
@@quailstudios THANK YOU. You will always have a special place in my heart because you taught me my first FULL song melody and solo. I also got better at this sitting AND I learned to play standing! Cheers!
Great, I've been playing it note for note after tracing out your tab in E major. You move up a little which I want to try and love that reach over to E on 12 at the end. That amp is as noisy as mine.
Thank you for this information. i respect you and the fact that you give your time to help other musicians. In the long run i will be a better player because of this and many other videos i watch.
Such a good lesson, love that you tabbed it and that you took the time to explain the 2 octave scale upon which the song is derived. That makes it so much easier to learn and store long term in my aging brain. Thanks Hal!
Are their mean comments? I KNOW when people like a video because of the like to dislike ratio. As of today 854 likes to 33 dislikes. The dislikes are the people that were hoping that I would teach Jimi's Woodstock version of this song. These are the correct notes but not exactly in the style of Jimi Hendrix. It's up to them to put in their own style. I think they can find another video that will teach them Jimi's style. Thanks for watching Arnie! Hal
Logan, so sorry to hear about your mom. Thanks for coming by and learning from me. I know what it is like to loose a mother. My mom died a few years ago too.
You are correct that I'm not teaching exactly what Jimi played. This video teaches the notes to The Star Spangled Banner, in the key he played it in, NOT what or how Jimi played this song. Jimi improvised. With these notes a student can begin to make their own version.
I want to go on the electric guitar but do you think you could do a separate video where you teach them how do you do the Star-Spangled Banner in normal Qatar because I only have a normal adult I wanna electric but you know please and thank you
That's wild I was taught a completely different way but it sounds almost exactly the same Example: rockets red glare 1st string: tab: 4--4-4--5--7- 7- hold-
God Bless USA! I have citizenship of USA and right now making papers for my parents and wife 🙏 God help me please to do it fast as much as possible 🙏🙏🙏
My friends just got me a Les Paul as a birthday present after 18 years not having/ loosing my guitars and equipment in a fire and fully expect this from me on New Years live I seriously hope I can fulfill it for them using this video
Could you do a tutorial of total eclipse of the heart, I know it's an oldie but a beautiful melody none the less, pretty please, ..no one in youtube has this tutorial fingerstyle
Oh MY!!! SWEET!!! Thank you so so much!!!!! I have always wanted to play this and your instruction is wonderful! I started crying 🥲 the first time I played it all the way through! Thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless ✌️
Thanks for the video, dont mind the negative comments, not even Jesus pleased everyone! That would be amazing if you put the full tab on the video description like some youtubers does, that would help a lot beginners like me.
You are correct Breck. I wrote in the description: His (Jimi's) performance of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock in 1969 was iconic. The version that I'm teaching you today is in the same key but without the improvisational elements that he threw in here and there during the performance. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much for this. You helped me learn one of my first songs on electric guitar. Truly a song you can play at anytime and get an awesome response. Thanks.
Hi Ben, I'm not using a distortion pedal only the distortion on my amp. You might be surprised. I'm playing here through a Crate GFX15 with DSP. I think I bought that amp some time around 1999.
Quail Studios Guitar tis the 3rd guitar commandment that reads “thou shalt not claim the style of Jimi Hendrix without the possession of a whammy bar and the usage thereof.”
I found them. They are on page 259-260 of my book. Do you know about that David? Information about the book is in the description of this video. Email me if you have questions or want just that one tab. Thanks for asking David. I hope that I've answered your question.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF YOU WOULD HAVE JUST SHOWN THE ENTIRS TAB...INSTEAD OF BITS AND PIECES..THERE WAS NO CONTINUITY ..THIS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MEMORIZE..WHEREAS THE ENTIRE TAB ..I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MEMORIZE IN A FEW MINUTES INSTEAD OF A FEW HOURS...I'M OLD AND MY MEMORY IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE....
Have you heard of the saying, "Ask and ye shall receive."? I haven't written this tab out yet but it would be easy. I'll put it on my list of things to do. Thanks for watching.

@@quailstudios Thank you very much for the tabs..That makes it so much more easier to memorize...once I have it memorized then I can add my style to it...I very much appreciate your quick response.. I also think you are a great guitar player and have embellished this song very well. I checked out several other versions and I liked your version the best as it fits better into my style of playing... Regards...
The lesson is appreciated, but this sounds absolutely nothing like Jimi Hendrix version.Except maybe the same key. However i did find your lesson interesting and respect your playing.
This lesson wasn't designed to show 'how to play' or 'what to play' the way Jimi Hendrix did, or to show how to sound like him. It shows what key we are in, and what notes you can use to play 'The Star Spangled Banner' in the key of E major. It sounds like you watched much of the video and know that I explain this at 2:25. Thank you for watching and the comment Chuck.
This video shows you how to play the notes to the Star-Spangled Banner in the key that Jimi Hendrix played it. NOT how to play the song like Jimi Hendrix. It's up to you to figure out the way you want to play it. The explanation is in the description. Not a secret Xsplosive Gamer.
5:46 I say, "Then we do it again." and I play the 2nd verse which is just like the first verse. The words in this part are, "Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?" At 5:54 I play the part that you said I missed. That phrase ends at 6:01. Perhaps you fell asleep during that part? Cheers Bryson. Any other questions?
Golf Hound I didn’t say this is the way Hendrix played it. In fact I said that this is NOT exactly the way Jimi played it, but these are the notes that Jimmy played for the melody. Also, not necessarily in the same position or on the same string that he played them. When we learn a song it’s important that we learn the melody so that we can embellish it properly. If someone doesn’t know the core melody then it won’t come out right. This is a video teaching the notes of the melody in the key that Jimi played it. Thank you for your input. I really appreciate it, and I am not being sarcastic.
