Star Spangled Banner

OK, I've been really distracted, and it's been a week since I said I'd do it, but I finally recorded my three-part Star Spangled Banner arrangement. It's a home computer recording, and a bit sloppy in the performance (particularly toward the end), but it's late, I'm tired, and it'll have to do.

Intended as a 9/11 tribute, it tells a story. The traditional arrangement it begins with is interrupted at the end by two big crashes, followed by the mournful, minor key second verse. But that's followed by an upbeat, sort of boogie version. (Sort of a "We Shall Overcome" idea.)

Played it on my Agile AS-820 semihollowbody in Open E with a heavy brass Jim Dunlop slide, through my Epiphone Valve Junior amp turned up about 1/3 volume.

Here's the MP3: http://www.guitarchat.net/modules/Media_Player/Ricochet/StarSpangledBlues1.mp3 It's right at 6MB. Should be streamable, if you can figure out the new media player over on Guitar Chat.

Thats very cool, I never thought the star spangled banner could have so much SOUL 8) 8) I think a heart felt performance like this is better than a perfect one ANY DAY :D :D NICE WORK, your pickin and I'm a grinnin :lol: --the dog

Cool stuff richochet, I could definitly see this being put to some sort of flash video type thing.

Thanks, guys! :D

OK, here's the upgraded URL to the MP3:

A hacker screwed up the media player over there and it had to be set up again.
