Here is my version , MP3 and TAB. Please excuse a few clams as I did this at 6AM as I was getting ready for another business trip. You will notice that the TAB is really based on the power of the 5 and 8 strings with associated levers and Pedal A.

have fun...

MP3 www.tprior.com/R1_0077.MP3

this MP3 does not use the 7 Raise, that is in the YouTube video clip at 1:10 in.

Thank you Tony; I'm sure that there are many of us out here that are very thankful that you did this. IMO, it is a beautiful rendition; I don't think that I've heard better.

Good job Tony. I will have to learn to play this. Thanks much for posting the tab as well as the MP3 and You Tube video. I agree that your rendition is one of the most beautiful I have heard.

Three cheers for Tony! I'm gonna see if I can learn this by the 4th of July...That's my goal. Thanks Tony, much appreciated.

Thanks for doing all the work to tab this out. As the others have said, congrats on a fine and beautiful job on our National Anthem! I am looking forward to learning it.

Regards, Patrick

Thanks guys, it's a honor to share. As you play this pay close attention to the phrasing on strings 5 and 8, the power of the fret positions as well as moving notes on both the 5th and 8th strings is really what this one is all about. If you have not been playing off of the 7th and/or 9th strings perhaps this will be a starting point.

Go slow, it's only June 9th, there's plenty of time before July 4th !

Tony

Is the 10th string marked with the B pedal on the tab supposed to be pedal A instead? Since the B pedal doesn't affect the 10th string?

Bruce

Bruce yes , of course typo..

sorry..
