So, for the July 4th gig, I'm gonna take the plunge (read: hopefully not make an ass of myself) and play our national anthem at the beginning of our show, which we then kick off with "American Band". I have how to play it down...but need some help adding something to it to make it have more flair. I'll add a wah pedal to help with some expression of notes....but thought some sections would sound good with a harmony or two.
Enter the problem, I'm kinda harmony-illiterate. I get it to a point, by my theory knowledge is greatly lacking. I can tell you that I start the song in G, and the last note I end on is a D (cause i rip into in open drop D chord at the end.
the part I'm hearing a harmony on is the, "And the rockets red glare" pretty much through the end.
Anyone willing to give me some ideas to try? Everything I've tried just sounds like crap, and I'm sure its the key I'm choosing. I'm trying G.
thanks
