The best Google Doodle I've seen by far- a playable guitar that you can strum with the mouse or play with the keyboard. Simply click on rec/keyboard button my cursor is on in the video and press any digit keys or any letters of the alphabet, as well as the semicolon ";", comma ",", period "." and backslash "/" keys. Each row of keys from left to right increases in pitch; I played using the qwerty row. My apologizes for the seizure-inducing glare, my screen recorder wasn't recording sound. Also I do not play guitar so I came up with the order mostly by ear.

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!

This is the Christina Aguilera version

@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."

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.

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

@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.

Glad you enjoyed it
