Subject: TAB: Stars and Stripes Forever : Guy van Duser
Well, I finally got around to typing this up, and just in
time for your Fourth of July. So I guess that makes it
a birthday present. Thanks for Velcro, Stratocasters,
and Dennis Miller, you imperialist dogs ;)
Warning - this is tough. And it's the easy part. Guy
Van Duser does the whole thing on "American Fingerstyle
Guitar", Rounder Records.
"The Stars and Stripes Forever" (excerpt)
Guy Van Duser : arrangement,
John Philip Sousa : Composer
This is the main melody - the bit children learn as
"Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck may
be somebody's mother"
