Transcribed here is the the legendary Hendrix performance of The Star
Spangled Banner. I've omitted the whammy bar dives mid way through the
song that recreate the sounds of bombs or fireworks (or what ever you
interpret them to be). Enjoy!
Note: Hendrix uses a lot of different techniques in this piece. You may
be unclear on how to perform some of them. If you need to learn a little

On the bend on the 7th fret your bending the note up on the 7th fret.
Then without releasing the bend, you strike the note on the 7th fret and
the let the bend down. The 7 in parenthesis (7) is just showing you the
bend comes down. Then you pick the note on the 5th fret, hammer-on to
the 7th, and pull off back to the 5th.
