Star Spangled Banner by Jimi Hendrix this song is in the tunning of Eb or dropped 1/2 step and if you think you can reproduce entire song perfectly with these incredible sounds he prduced, you better break your over your head. This song can not be perfectly reproduced and can't be played without a fender stratocaster guitar like Jimi's. Tunning: half a step-Eb legend: /= slide up to \=alide down to h=hammer on p=pull off b=bend(the pitch of the bend is above the staff) ~=vibrato (?)=the previous note(s) ring out action fdbk=feedback(pitch is next to it) tr=trill on as fast as you can X=muted note strummed x=rake [==] =trem pick or a.k.a pick as fast as you can pb=pre bend or to bend before striking note rb=release
