The Star Spangled Banner- Les Paul Guitar Google Doodle

[koolgyz123]

thumbs up



[Capcvid07]

Most people don't know this but USA is the only National Anthem that contains the words "Bombs and Bullets." Don't laugh it is true...

[habsye]

@Capcvid07 Probably doesn't help the case but The Star Spangled Banner says "rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" though nothing about bullets.

On a happier note, Happy Thanksgiving!

[Capcvid07]

@Capcvid07 I stand corrected,thank you.

[sagesaria]

This was the first thing I tried to play too, since it's set up to sound like it already XD the second half is harder though.

[nicobal666]

Pfft, Cliff Burton kicks your ass

[pgergely13]

just kiss my ass, yenk piece of shit!

[Diandredofus]

Some notes are wrong, cuz there are no alterations in there.

[jimmy6p]

@17solstice An idiot and an asshole in one reply. I've hit the daily double!

I was only stating my opinion. It sure has upset a lot of people. I thought that opinions were allowed. Your opinion was allowed, why not mine? Why am I an asshole for stating an opinion? Is it because an opinion is just like an asshole? You know, cuz everyboby has one. I just don't understand why my opinion upsets so many people. Not that I care, but I don't get it. Maybe something in the water :-)

[habsye]

@jimmy6p I think the reason you got everyone riled up is not what you said, but how you said it. Yes you are free to state your opinion but there is no need to be condescending about it.

[17Matt76]

Honestly, I do not see why some people dislike this! It's the anthem of the United States, and played perfectly at that. This is by far the best rendition of a song using the Google Guitar. Magnificent.

[lilshawtymeggz]

luv it reminds me of the peeps in war :( but mostly its sick awsome!!!!!!!!!

[ColorMeToxic]

How can anyone rag on The National Anthem?! That's just un-American! Aside from when Christina Aguilera did it... I think this is good. F**** the haters!

[Zachthebassist]

You didn't play it with your teeth

[aaa1233321aaa]

Fuck America.. trollolol

[ninjavn08]

play guitar and view songs : ht tp: // 360webviet . com / google-guitar

[mamma85na]

Hello. feel, but after playing how do you listen to the entire whole piece?

[isairocks01]

is there a way i can look it up and play it? can someone send me a link please!?? i totally missed that day!!! :(

[Spartan117GC]

Big screwup at 0:16

[NHRHS2010]

@Spartan117GC Well Google Guitar had very limited keys compared with an actual guitar. 

[dmfuller1]

Francis Scott Key did not compose this melody. He wrote the lyrics. The melody is a centuries old English drinking tune.

[LetArtsLive]

this is great i made one and it crackles

[joyking5]

Cool! Didn't know the other songs so didn't know if they were really well played or not. Thanks from  us people who love music but don't know how it's done!

[BoosBoopie]

Amazing!

[jimmy6p]

Gee, the Star Spangled Banner. How original. There sure are a lot to choose from.

Where's your imagination?

[habsye]

@jimmy6p I'm no musical genius but I still wanted to give everyone something to listen when this special homepage was first introduced. The rudimentary video showed that the possibilities were endless for creativity even with its limit range. Also I don't see the harm in a little nationalism. Do you have a video of anything you've played that I can watch?

[jimmy6p]

@habsye No, I don't. I was simply making a comment and asking why, with so many different tunes to choose from, the majority of "choices" available here were all the same. There are songs with more demanding complexity that would demonstrate one's ability to use this program. How about one of Les Pauls more "demanding" blues rifts? Show some originality. 

[habsye]

@jimmy6p I think it's original to be the first to play this song on a newly released Google Doodle within a couple hours of its debut. If you look at the reply I made to ludetke337 I explain that I do not play the guitar and therefore posted a song I was capable of playing. I'm happy to leave the more demanding blues rifts for the highly skilled guitarists to play.

[ainsleywalker]

@jimmy6p Riff* mate, not rift. Some guitar genius you are.

[jimmy6p]

@ainsleywalker I occasionally hit the wrong key while typing on my computer. How this would have anything to do with playing the guitar escapes me.

Sorry I didn't answer immediately, I had to spell check this reply. My fragile ego would explode were I to receive another criticism. You're a very demanding individual ainsleywalker. I'll have trouble sleeping tonight. Happy now?

[ainsleywalker]

@jimmy6p Yes I am happy now, it's the exact response I wanted. >:]

[Prairielander]

@jimmy6p Stops playing O Canada. :P

[jimmy6p]

@Prairielander I can't record anything with this in Canada, it doesn't work. But I do a great version of 'The Yellow Rose of Texas'

[jake88usmc]

@jimmy6p asshole

[jimmy6p]

@jake88usmc thanx, but I've been called worse, by better.

[teedzy1]

@jimmy6p Youre a dick

[ajrlippy]

[JustWannaRitAComment]

This music was NOT composed by Francis Scott Key. When people say Francis Scott Key wrote the US national anthem they mean that he wrote the poem from which the words were taken. The music which you used in your video is an old English drinking song composed by an Englishman named John Stafford Smith.

[AlexBrownSheridan]

totally off! with no sharps or flats you can't play it properly.

[BwStickles]

@AlexBrownSheridan GOOGLE HAS FAILED US.

[TTAABBJJDD]

Don't Stop Believin' on Google Guitar! Three parts at once! So Cool!

[Jomamasuperfly]

15 seconds in... you royaly fucked up you terrorist!!!

[ROBBBLOCO]

This is the best one Ive seen! Good Job!

[Diabolik85258]

Yes this is one song that I am proud to say that I can Nail any time. I respect anyone who tries whether it is on an instrument or singing. You need to be patriotic and passionate while performing. but if you love the USA and give it your best who cares if you dont nail it. if people judge u they are not getting it

[IRproductionstudios]

it started to sound like "away in the manjer" at one point

[hardBoss]

play ball!

[MrChippy3]

AMERICA!

[CainmosniMirrored]

Francis Scott Key? Who the fuck is that? Everyone knows Jimi Hendrix wrote the Star Spangled Banner.

[blue7lion]

@CainmosniMirrored you are so stupid.



[CainmosniMirrored]

@blue7lion You have no sense of humor. It was a JOKE.

[HybridHacks]

@blue7lion You serious? You know he was joking, right? You're the one who's stupid here.

[nickgonezapolis]

@CainmosniMirrored no, everyone knows jimi hendrix butchered the star spangled banner

[Nickyjoet]

God... I hate this song...

[LatinoMike94]

That was awesome!!

[iPREDATOR89]

HOW THE F##K???

[echo680]

1:24 key change FTW :)

[TheJonaii]

The keys looks a cursed spell o.O

[UnderGroundArsonizt]

I made a Melody Hiphop Style and just uploaded it! When you can come check mine out =]!

[pgbruiser]

Nice! Thanks for figuring it out and posting the letters. The star spangled banner was the first thing I thought about playing when I stumbled upon the Les Paul Doodle. I dont play an instrument, not that this is really an "instrument" per se (south park :] ), but its still kinda fun to mess around with and pass the time. Did you figure out any other songs?

[datbastard2333]

This is the Christina Aguilera version

[wytechrist]

@datbastard2333 aaahahahaha i agree

[habsye]

@datbastard2333 To quote the 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (fittingly so I might add),

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

[hiMyNaMeIzDaviD]

@habsye ur the man

[badacyborg]

@habsye

My favorite president.



[ludtke337]

its actually easy to play on the real guitar

[habsye]

@ludtke337 i don't play real guitar so I figured I would just play it by ear until it sounded best to me. Since this was only a single octave range it sounded very bland, giving me even more appreciation to musicians!

[ludtke337]

@habsye oh its great! i actually am not a musician either, just taught myself how to play the star spangled banner, lol. i should make a yt vid showing how to play it easy, on 3 strings basically

[kabobularproductions]

i meant that i dont have they keyboard button WTF

[habsye]

@kabobularproductions Do you have a record key? Like the one on my screen? You can just click that and start playing. Or you could simply pluck the strings with your mouse. Hope this helped

[kabobularproductions]

@habsye when i click the record button and press keys i cant get it to make any notes it just sits there, laughing at me =(

[GiuRod21]

@kabobularproductions change your google settings to no automatic.

[kabobularproductions]

i cant use the keyboard for this

[TraumaER]

this is the sickest yet!

[NC199TP]

hahahah great job dude!!! 

[blindtothesound]

America!! Fuck yea!!!!

[Snypaz118]

you can't do the rockets red glare part because you need a higher note than the 10th they have.

[habsye]

@Snypaz118 To quote the 26th President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (fittingly so I might add),

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

[ccaptorchen]

@habsye when I play it.. I just jump to a lower key.. it still sounds alright =)

[Snypaz118]

Fail.

[jenmatt8]

how do u get the letter and numbers to work on that

[habsye]

@jenmatt8 Click the recording/keyboard icon that my cursor is hovering over in the video and you should be able to rock out to your heart's content.

[elinford]

[weezerking]

@elinford i did that do bro!!!!!!!!

[mzrealm]

@elinford More like the tune they play when school begins in Japan...

[billster14]

daycentttt



[deathcloan]

you failed miserably

[Phulesmith]

now mouse that tune I dare you :) instead of keyboard

[habsye]

@Phulesmith I started off strumming with the mouse originally but quickly realized how long it takes to identify each string and play it in the correct order. The keyboard definitely saved me time when determining which note came next, especially since it was arranged in a scale.

@17Matt76 @lilshawtymeggz @rudgeusa @pennylane1964 @everyone_else_I_missed

Glad you enjoyed it

[rudgeusa]

you rockkkkkkkkkk dude!!!! the best

[eyoungdale]

Francis Scott Key did not compose the Star Spangled Banner. The words are his, but the music is not.

[jasdaman2]

@eyoungdale have u read Lies My Teacher Told Me by James Loewen? :]

[habsye]

@eyoungdale Oops! i initially was going to write "written and composed by FSK," but opted for just composed, messing up even further in the process. Please accept my apologizes; I should have done more research before I made any conclusions.

[pacotaco1246]

@eyoungdale The music itself is actually from an old drinking song.

@randdibox26 shut the fuck up you unpatriotic piece of dogshit

[randdibox26]

@SMDB82 its a joke, its from a movie

[wellesradio]

@SMDB82

dude. calm the fuck down. I'm an uber-patriot, but I can take a fucking joke. Musically speaking our anthem isn't even that great. There. I said it. America rules. (cos I can say that).

[habsye]

@randdibox26 You've got alot of bananas?

russian hymn:P

[Yoshiman6464]

Great Song Cover of Our National Anthem.

Some parts of the Song Doesn't sound too Accurate, which I am guessing because of the small range of Octaves.

I have made a Cover from the Guitar Riff from Black Sabbath's Iron Man. You can watch mine whatever you want.

[pennylane1964]

pretty cool.



[pennylane1964]

pretty cool.



[travisman1994]

Very nice. I have a request for Das Deutschlandlied

[randomZmusingz]

Wow - I knew that talented people out there would quickly upload something using this awesome Google doodle - and yours is one of the best so far! Creativity really makes one feel good - even if it's someone else's ;) Good job!

[habsye]

@randomZmusingz Thanks! I appreciate the support :3

[mmountcastle13]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME MITCH HERE

[HsojTAN]

how the hell do you use the keyboard!!!

[EPR89]

@HsojTAN Click on the keyboard symbol (glows red then). BUTTON MASHING!!!!

[XnoTORIous127X]

@HsojTAN click the random white space and press any numbers or letters

[SOSphantom]

O_O Every time someone uploads a video, my jaw drops.

[clazzyfree1]

letters? pretty please!!!

[habsye]

@clazzyfree1 Keys can be found in the description, YouTube isn't letting me post them in a comment for some reason.

[retinr]

Amazing ... WELL done!

[susanb55]

SSB has a bad rap for having a range too great for most singers; you had to change keys a bunch of time to get around the limited range of the doodle, but hearing this version reminds me of just how few notes the anthem has. Nicely done.

[therevolt56]

that was really good

[J90JAM]

NICE!
