New files for Star Spangled Banner

Hi Venice BBQ Ensemblers

In the song downloads, I have added an audio file to practice to, since our rehearsal time is limited before this performance. I had the metronome set to 73 bpm, and there are some ritardondos and pauses, so we need to get familiar with how to handle that when playing live.

A new pdf of the tab is included, this one has a few changes from the last one.

• An intro has been added. What do you think... do we need it, or should we annouce the song?

• Cm7 chords have been removed (they just sounded off). Any suggestions for other options are welcome. For now, we just stay on Bb.

• Melody tab has different fingering for the left hand, minimizing the movement up and down the neck. Some people will perfer the other version, but it's your choice... do whatever is most comfortable for you.

We could do some creative strumming for the grand ending, so give that some thought.

See you at Warren's on the 28th, and at the bonus meeting at the Coffee Connection on the 30th.
