Jimi Hendrix - Star Spangled Banner Cover

My attempt. I'm just starting to learn this. I think I got a good tone down, but still working on the song itself. I messup, the trills are poor, and I don't play the whole song. So enjoy for what its worth. :D

treble.

I know, I know! Now I have a better effect, the real tabs, and a Strat! So I'll have to do this again.

[parklife101]

yeah if that is a BC rich which I think it is, then it sucks. BC riches are all looks no play. Lookin forward to the new one. :)

I wouldn't say it sucks. There are a ton of metal guitarists who use their guitars. However, I got this guitar when I was into heavy music (Black metal, death, etc..). Now I've gotten more "mature" in terms of music, so I'm moving into blues (Hendrix style), and I now have a strat.

I use a Digitech RP250.

try recording the video the day AFTER you learn it

Pretty good man, I'm working on mastering this one as well, you got certain improvs from the Woodstock performance that I still haven't learned in terms of riffs. You know what would really help your tone for this, besides the strat you said you had, uni-vibe, i have uni-V effect on my boss me-50 multi effects processor along with tons of different distortion, wah and other stuff, uni-v is my best effect of them all! it's totally the same effect as hendrix used and adds a ton more pizazz to SSB

@parklife101 Whoa there cowboy!! Whilst most BC Rich guitars are... since most are simply cheap beginner metal guitars for kids like this who wanna make noise, they suit that purpose. The high high end of BC Rich kills the competition. Most people don't have the opportunity to play on a nice American made Mockingbird guitar, and will never know how amazing BC Rich's really are.

actually the playing is decent

tone isnt where it should be.

bc rich and solid state amp? im guessing those are from your metal days or something haha and its not like we can buy new gear every time we switch music styles

[lallschacha]

yea mean like like 90%

[JimiHendrixSite]

Dude you played it right and added the improvs he put in to it but you should'nt play it on a B.C. rich. You should play it on a strat. It would sound better

[polomoipolo]

to have the real sound, put some 'tremolo' end chorus, it give that sounds, i do it with my G2
