How to play the Star Spangled Banner - Easy Beginner Guitar Lesson Electric or Acoustic

[FGsk8ter4life]

Hey, I'm not trolling you or anything but you missed a verse and I really need to learn the WHOLE song..

[kylifitzgerald1]

Can you send me the tabs ? I like your tabs but I can't understand when you say them ,

[mrSnipeZA1ot]

hey man im not trying to troll but you a verse will you fix it so i can learnt the full song for my school talent show :)

[aappleton1994]

thanks for uploading this vid man i been playing for a few months and was looking for a simple version of this to play at school

[treynewton1]

Started playing guitar about two months ago and watch this video tonight and ended up playing half the song in about thirty mins, good job with breaking it down for us newbies

[timot3117]

nevermind the naysayers. i enjoyed watching the video. its nice to know even teacher loss there place now and then.

[monkeynut000]

i have that same guitar in the background

[SPEEDFREAK200008]

sounds good but much better to use all the strings horizontally instead of moving up and down the neck ,also some vibrato pleees

[killjoy117a]

just got a guitar like 1 week ago and this is the first song im gunna learn thanks

[thesmileyface00]

Bad job

[Nightfalls0110]

thx man

[dh0420]

what happened at 3:30 - 4:00? did you lose your place on the tabs? you should know a song before posting a tutorial on how to play it

[jdenxrocks]

worst yet

[kid2703]

this is wayyy easy to learn im a beginner and picked it up in about 45 min u did a good job!!

[dh0420]

it would be a better video if you actually could play the song instead of just reading the tabs to us and playing along- also this is not any easy version to this song- its probably the hardest way to play it

[22Boyne]

As always, I'm about 2 years behind everyone else when it comes to these new-fangled gadgets like YouTube. Hence I've only just found this. Just like to say thanks very much for the step-by-step video and (wish I could italicise that...) the Tablature. Print off the Tab and follow the video. Excellent, sorry, Awesome! (I'm not American...) Thanks again.

[jaynexpain]

hey , just found this one... itis so much easier to understand and play the way you done it cheers for that one..

greetings from the united kingdom

[younglsofly1]

theres a much easier and better way to play without sliding so much

[younglsofly1]

your doing it the difficult way

[AdamMichaelAMG]

[kevmilla]

thanks man

[dh0420]

@TheSlayerKill go to ultimateguitar(.)com and you can get tabs for this- and get more versions

[dh0420]

@thejizzanator yes it does- also there are easier ways to play this

[saltbroclily]

YOU PENIS SUCKING MOTHER LOVING NOOB TO LIFE YOU CANT EVEN PLAY A DAMN GUITAR...GET A LIFE YOU TALENTLESS MORON...his name is eric garrett and he is my dad and i am william garrett.

[srs6d]

Thanks so much!  I can play it from memory now!

[guitar18Ink]

is this the acurate tabs for the whole song? cuz i wanna play for my school.. would this tab be ok for me to learn for mt school?????

[SwooshB3ar666]

This dude sucks at teaching guitar.

[dh0420]

@SwooshB3ar666 well it might be because he can only use one finger

[SatchFan4Life]

this helped a lot thanks for showing a much easier way to play it! subbed and much appreciated

[SatchFan4Life]

your awesome man thanks for showing us the easy way to play this song much appreciated. subbed!

[RODOG6181]

i love u

[sparkingtonstanly]

i will probably get sentanced to firing squad for saying this but this is so much more fun to play than our anthem... no, i never said that... you cant prove a thing... god save the queen!!!!

[NJREB1863]

Now lets see you do "I'm Going Home" with one finger.

[joshua1marcelo]

THX ALOT !! THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE BEST TUTORIALS IVE SEEN SO FAR!!

KEEP IT UP. : )

THUMBS UP FOR BEING A COOL TEACHER!

: )

[dugrey91]

this is pretty good walk through, but dude, i think playing this would be way easier for u if u used more then one finger.

[dh0420]

@dugrey91 he doesnt know how to use more fingers- watch his other vids

[TheSpeeddemon27]

Good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperEsme123]

[3I2I1IKABOOM]

okay...the parts i can understand sound great...but if you could make this video again...but make the voice alot clearer that would be great!

[aerofreakk]

thnx much for leavin' the tab in the description box.

[gEoRgEsTrAiTjUnKiE91]

This is super simple!!! I learned it in about 20 minutes :D

[distortionator10]

what key is this played in?

[zarenejadbugz3]

chek out dejayplp

[lifeordeath3288]

people he gave you the tab in the info. You cant get any easier than that

[jfl125]

Sweet,

[Teopotamus]

yo we have the same guitar! i just started yesterday and am confuse on like the first 3 or 4 parts, but other than that, thanks for the tutorial holmes

[mclobnob]

dude i cant tell what youre saying at all

[nirvanarocksout]

u fuckin suck

[38jweikel]

Thanks that makes learning this easier

[mjandrade01]

dude u dont even go through all the parts u just play it like at

4:00

[gHOSTmARINE69]

this isnt easy...

[themagicmansmind]

its very  easy lol

[dh0420]

@gHOSTmARINE69 its an easy song- this just isnt the easiest way to play it

[S3ALSN1P3R]

Thanks man! I knew how play a harder version but forgot and now this is way easier to remember. It so predictable I guessed the Chorus and its was right. Good Lesson- 5 Stars!

[jose240leon]

wat tuning is this

[just1not2kool3]

dropd?

[ericdg12345]

It's just standard tuning? EADGBE

[MrFisher65]

thx sooooooooooooooo much man

[Haskel2001]

I posted a video response of me playing this after I learned it from you. Thanks!!

[KanzlerM]

This is a good lesson, I just wish the audio buzz had been eq'd out.

[crow66693]

This is a good version of the Star Spangled Banner but not exactly the correct and best way to play it.Almost like the original.Still,you have great ways of teaching and I learned this version easily.Keep it going man

[ElmysterRecords]

i mean more advanced i guess

[ElmysterRecords]

guys if u want a harder version check out meh vid on my channel.... i also have the tabs in description!

[johndawson420]

wut do you mean harder?

[OMGtheRoofsOnFire]

Thank you so much! Great lesson!

[Aelidiil]

This has got to be the best star spangled banner walk through on you tube!! helped me so much!!! thanks very much for posting sir!

[ericdg12345]

Thanks. That's why I posted it. I'm just trying to teach people an easy way to play a popular song. I'm glad you liked it.

[shonnen2]

will this work for acoustic plz answer

[SpazAttack987654321]

yes

[WhiteBoarder4677]

it would work on accoustic but will sound a bit different

[piblji]

guitar sounds damn good

[ericdg12345]

Thanks man.

[fingerboard621]

anywhere i can get a good cheap guitar man?

[ericdg12345]

You can get one on ebay cheap. You can get a decent cheap beginner real electric guitar for under 100 bucks. Most of them are fender stratocaster copies, but they are fine until you can afford something better.

[fingerboard621]

thanks alot i was looking at like a starter kit its a peavy guitar with a amp and picks and stuff for 300 is tht a better deal?

[WhiteBoarder4677]

yea it is a better deal

[MrDAVE420247]

i got my best deal on guitar at a pawn shop- $300 for a $1500 guitar- dont go thru ebay as no set return policy and you cant play it before you buy it- you can also getr really good deal at the guitar center as advertise lowest price on new products- best advice is to shop around

[boundedturle]

dude lol iwant ne like that just gibsun ad whats the guitar in the back round it seems to me like a first act haha

[ericdg12345]

Close to a first act, its a fender stratocaster. I just like the les paul more so I usually play with that.

[chang827]

same kind as mine im still tryin to remember the cords lol

[lsugotigers1]

can u just give us the tabs? it would be easier

[ericdg12345]

Click more info, the tabs are there.

[MrDAVE420247]

king of the middle finger blues- only use your middle finger otherwise you might build dexterity and be able to play better

[ericdg12345]

your so funny. I guess saying this was a beginner lesson and playing it with one finger so everyone could see better wasn't obvious enough for some, lol.

[MrDAVE420247]

but you only use 1 finger in all your vids - even when not instructional

[ericdg12345]

Thats true but the only videos I have are the instructional videos and the videos of the same songs played through completely so people can see what it is supposed to sound like.

[dh0420]

@ericdg12345 well then post a vid using all your fingers- so far ive watched your vids and you play the star spangled banner with one finger, you add a bend and its very badly timed, and you use 1 finger- and to top it all off you keep looking at the tabs while your playing- lame

[stratplayer7]

check my channel for a cover of this and a few other things

[MrDAVE420247]

i posted a vid as a vid response to this vid showing how to play the banner easier- go to my profile and watch - is way easier to play than demoed on this vid

[MrDAVE420247]

i find that if you use the c maj shape it is easier to play the song - it is much easier to use all the strings in 1 position that to be all jumping around the neck- also use all 4 fingers - again much easier

[XionSifon]

oohh my bad dude they look almost alike lol

[XionSifon]

wow what guitar lol thats a gibson les paul it looks like a 1969 traditional cherry burst les paul

[ericdg12345]

I wish, its actually a epiphone les paul custom heritage cherry sunburst.

[TheW0rldsGame]

what tipe of guitar is that??

[910army]

it is easy even wen he missed the section... i had 2 figure it out myself so.... gud jod man and thanks

[jmetalhead80]

Dude you skip a whole section of the song check it out

[Deathcrue666]

VERY GOOD MAN CHECK OUT MY VIDEO I SENT YOU OF ME DOING THIS SONG ON BASS GUITAR

CRUE aka Yea THAT bass player

[whtsx499]

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE TABS i tried to write them down but when i was fininshed i noticed that i got some wrong so i just copied you

[injunboi20]

thanks so much! learned this song in 30 minutes thanks to you!

[HegontaHunter]

thanks man, i knew this song already but this 4th o july im playin it live in front of a bunch of people and the way i played it was really hard......im gonna use your way this time! - Thanks

[TheCakcakcak]

thanx

[Thermon10]

Thanks for the lesson! Sounds good!

[Hood3dH00r0r09]

Thanks dude this is awesome!

[MysticSasquatch]

nice!!!!! awesome dude just awesome... souonds great

[GTYOYO]

any tabs for this?

[GTYOYO]

for playinighendrix ver does it use some of these chords?

[MrDAVE420247]

hendrix plays song in dif key and adds a lot of improv-- the problem with this version is that it is hard to transpose to other keys- watch my vid and i will put a lesson on how to play the banner easier

[dh0420]

@GTYOYO hendrix plays on the lower strings- this is actually the bass version of the song- for guitar best to play on the higher strings

[buckrusell]

wow thats funny

[extremebucsfan]

sweet ibanez

[SkillerGuyVids]

thats not an ibanez its an epiphone or gibson dumbass lolololol

[knifenewbie456]

my teacher says that people who dont know how t play guitar play it by 1 note at a time she is really starting to get on my nerves

[GameAce17]

also just in time for mothers day(A little surprise performance)

[GameAce17]

this is awsome thanks but i feel it sounds better going one string down for everything

[knifenewbie456]

thank you very much for postung an easy version for beginners because i hate all they over complicated 1s

[saltncracker09]

thnxs ur lesson was awesome.....it was perfect for a beginner

[HelmetArmstrong]

hey dudes watch my star spangled banner. go to my channel and look for where it says "Helmet Armstrong - Star spangled banner at 1 minute 30 sec of the solo". And I don't even need distortion. Zang. Whddya say to that?

[DumblyBrilliant]

[bltyz125]

Thanks a ton for posting this. I haven't played guitar in about 7 or 8 years, and this has been a lot of help.

[moyerthebig24]

Thanks So much! you were lots of help!

[terrym74]

4 beginners , put some tabs,you confused me a couple times,would love to see more!

[CJA219]

Helped out alot thanks man and nice video.

[cmanrox11]

Couldn't get it, terrible.  Tried writing on a piece of paper. Voice was not clear.

[ericdg12345]

I posted the tabs under the description. You shouldn't have to write anything down.

[paladin61368]

you are such a great teacher! i learned this son in like no time! thank you so much!

[ericdg12345]

Thx.

[chickenis1]

i have jus started yesterday and i picked this song up pretty fast ty....you should make more vids like this one

[jamsters101]

Thanks alot.

I learned fast.

:)

[maish87]

this was Xcellect! thank u so much absolutely perfect for a beginner like myself. Thanks

[ericdg12345]

Thats great. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking of putting up more videos with different techniques geared toward a beginner such as palm muting and so forth.

[jonokutch]

please do that would be so helpful maybe do some other songs to thanks alot!!!

[espltdguy124]

tahnx dude u rock so subin and youll get a friend request from me and any one who reads this comment dont go the jamplaydot com channel they only teach part of the song and then expect u to pay to learn the rest

[ericdg12345]

Glad you like them. I added you as a friend. I watched your videos and I think your doing really good, especially for being 13. Keep it up and you'll be awesome by the time your an adult.

[espltdguy124]

thanks dude i try to practice at least 2 hours a day at the LEAST my goal is to get 4 hours in a day but im busy alot i hope to open my schools talent show the the star spangled banner also with ur version

[xxvenom]

yea and to be honest I left that comment before I tried it. Right after that I picked up my guitar, I don't have an amp, and I've already learned half of this song. I started 2 days ago :p Thanks again.

[xxvenom]

Nice job man. I'm just learning guitar, I think I can do this and it'll help me alot. thanks.

[ericdg12345]

I hope it does. I was thinking of making several videos on how to play real beginner songs. I know what it's like when you are just starting and most videos I watched that say they are easy, are too hard for a true beginner.
