Nick Mondeck (Me at 17 years old) shredding the National Anthem on electric guitar at Wilson High School during an assembly 10/25/19

The founding fathers are looking down upon this legend and smiling.

He somehow made the American Anthem more American

[amateurbuilds]

I don’t get why this is getting hate. He was honoring out country with the talent he has and he tried his hardest and did amazing

[waltuhwhite_]

The band kids in the back mad as fuck they know they cant top that shit

[elijahkrause]

That one Vietnam Vet teacher who grew up on 70s rock fucking loved this

[beatleographer_-]

This 70-year od rocker says, BRAVO!!! This kid made it his own and didn't try to emulate Hendrix. Very awesome young man!

[aaa-czzu]

Played this in my Volkswagen Golf the other day.
When I came back to it the next morning, it had turned into a Ford Mustang.

It’s said that in real times, when this song began, a bald eagle woke up, flew passed a F-22, landed in front of an American flag with his shades on and grab himself a cold one.

So we all just got recommended this video right

Boy, there are quite a lot of guitar experts that no one's ever heard of chiming in. He's not Hendrix, he's a high school kid. The simple act of even playing the National Anthem in high school is rare these days, so good for him and the cheering students. USA! USA! USA!

[SprokeSodaCo]

anybody comparing this guy to any thing stranger things related or eddie needs to STOP hes just playing the guitar dude calm down

[cornbread]

Shortly an eagle somehow flew through th gym and blessed his guitar with a single tear. Then the ghost of George Washington drove in in a Dodge Challenger, saluted and hit a preset ramp then drove to heaven with the eagle.

That's gotta be the most american thing I've ever heard

[poultonboys]

We all dreamed for a moment like this in high school let’s be honest.

[noahsteadmansings]

The fact that it is possible to “shred” are national anthem makes me love this country even more 😂

[desouor]

our founding fathers are smiling to see this guy preforming the anthem, god bless america

[jammincoder]

To everyone saying he didn't play well: did you ever try to play the US national anthem on guitar in front of a crowd when you were that young?
Granted he definitely wasn't perfect, but I give him props for trying his best anyways.

[juliewittmuss]

I have NEVER heard a guitar speak before!! He actually made it sound like it was singing! AMAZING!

[tacticalwarunicorniscool]

the european mind could never comprehend

[SLMusic]

So that’s why Ben Franklin invented electricity.
