[thewistleboy]

where can i get tabs for this exact version?? plzz answer!

[A7XHellBlaze]

@thewistleboy Sorry for the delay. I'm also sorry to inform you that I made up my own tabs. Well, not really tabs, but all I do is memorize what I want to play and then play it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'm sorry again that I couldn't help you :(

Are you using a stack?

How do you get taht effect?

[A7XHellBlaze]

@newcarscent7 I'm just using a 15 watt Spider III, a little tape echo effect, and a stepped down wah pedal for extra treble :)

[ThatGuyCalledPhillip]

Great job! Thanks for commenting my vid :D

[MetalSpyder911]

Yoooo this is crazy, so much feeling in the tone dude!! I'm really liking the tempo, it's like real-time, like when someone sings during a half-time show. A lot of people do way too much with this anthem and go too fast, but this is kickass.

[SynShadow88]

See, this is what I love about you dude (no homo haha), it's all about FEELING. The tone is sick, I actually started singing along to it. I know you can probably just add a bunch of crap here and there, but this is pretty awesome. I agree with the comment below, Hendrix's version was amazing, but everyone is trying to copy him.

[A7XHellBlaze]

@SynShadow88 Thanks, yea I actually do like simpler stuff.  If I had more time, I would have added some things, but not a major change.

[SlasheretteX84]

Amazing!!!! I don't know why people want you to add more, I mean it's an anthem. You added just a little, but it didn't affect the feel of the song. Actually it sounded more soulful, I would take this version over the ones with a bunch of random tapping, whammy-ing and hammer-ons. I mean Jimi's was amazing, but Hendrix is Hendrix, it doesn't mean everyone has to try to do it like him. Rock on!

[A7XHellBlaze]

@SlasheretteX84 Haha thanks!! I was actually going to add a lot more, but I just didn't have time. I wasn't gonna add tapping or anything like that, just more notes to create a faster pace. Unfortunately, I couldn't compose and/or practice cuz my power was out and I have grad school, work and stuff.

[A7XHellBlaze]

@Saintuana Thanks! Haha I like that word, tasteful. Yea, it's pretty simple, I wanted to add more, but I had to get it out quick cuz it was dedicated to Team USA.

[A7XHellBlaze]

@will7hotty Thanks. Well, near the end of the Winter Olympics, I wanted to learn it quick, but then the Snow Storm came and I had no power for 3 days. So I learned the basics on my iphone guitar and once the power came back on I recorded it on my real guitar :) Maybe for July 4 I would compose my own, but for now this would totally do :)

[Wunderburn]

Good job man...

[A7XHellBlaze]

@Wunderburn Thanks dude, I appreciate the comment :)

[JooBean808]

Sounds freakin amazing dude!! I really like this version, a lot of people do so much with it that it just ruins it. The tone is just crazy awesome! The harmonic at :59 is my favorite part =) Rock on!

[xTokioxHotelx1]

0.0 this is amazing, u shood replace this at my skool concerts. haha the band sucks. xDD amazing amzing amzing. :D

[A7XHellBlaze]

@xTokioxHotelx1 Thanks! I would have loved to actually add a lot more notes, but I just don't have time to compose my own special version. I'm so glad you liked the normal version though :) I wish I could play it for a halftime show or something, haha.

[xTokioxHotelx1]

@A7XHellBlaze u should! gotta get urself out there before its too late. To many people are getting into the music industry that just dont desserve. Go for it :D

[ZackySyn666]

This seems so simple, but it sounds so amazing.
