A Florida man was arrested after playing a guitar rendition of the national anthem on July 4, according to News 4 Jax.
Lane Pittman, 22, told the TV station that he was playing electric guitar in front of his friend's house on Neptune Beach home when a police officer told him to move out of the street.
Pittman says an officer gave him permission to continue playing on the sidewalk, but the Neptune Beach Police Department denies that.
Decked out in American flag apparel, Pittman wailed out a version of The Star-Spangled that drew a crowd of about 200 people. A YouTube video shows crowd cheering and applauding as he ends his performance, but then officers come and tell Pittman they need to talk.

Just saw Fox-news report and the kid play . The cops should be fired .
Maybe he was arrested for playing it badly. There should be a law, you know......
Oops, posted too soon. See #3.
I did not catch his name this morning, but I believe the guitarist was on Fox & Friends this morning.
It was sort of OK, but once is enough (IMO).....?
Aye..........”they`ll too soon be playin outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes”
stupid cops
He wasn’t properly subservient. Delicate police egos were at risk.
Blacks rioting in Ferguson and Baltimore are A-OK though.
I dunno, I’m okay with it unless it takes over 5 minutes to complete while including several note-changes (that highlights the performers “range” of musicality.
You know, like the anthem sung at major sporting events.
And, another thing...
Why no anthem at golf and tennis events?
That is where I saw it. The kid is really good. Reminded me of Jimi Hendrix.
Amen, bro!
Occupy anything is OK too, paid for by Soros and approved by Kenyan.
If this was a black kid playing “We Shall Overcome” in the street would you feel the same way?
There may have been complaints.
.
At least he wasnt wearing Confederate attire and playing Dixie. He probably would have been shot for that.

Urban yodeling.
Orlando is a California enclave north of Miami-Dade which is a New Yorkian colony.
Yeah, but Neptune Beach is an outskirt of JACKSONVILLE!
