This week is scale week!

Just kidding, but I did record one and it was the quickest to tab out so you get it today.

Here is the guitar tab:

e|-----------------------------1-3-4-
B|---------------------0-1-3-4-------
G|-----------------0-1---------------
D|-----------0-1-3-------------------
A|-------2-3-------------------------
E|-1-3-4-----------------------------

I’m a wee bit late on this one, but with the redesign and the holidays I just haven’t had the time. This was fun to learn. Although the tab says this has difficult jazz barre chords I would call them moderate. I hope your holidays were merry.

By mistake I sang part of the chorus I was supposed to cut out to save myself time so the ohhh after walk away was something I had never tried before. It will end up in future versions.

I think it’s a lot better then my last singing attempt. I’m afraid you won’t get any other originals until after xmas (if I’ve been a good boy) and have a bigger memory card.

I had some guy say he would sing along but because of my limited vocabulary we weren’t able to make any music.

Wikipedia has a good article on our National Anthem which includes lyrics. Aren’t you glad I didn’t sing.
