Displaying the top 10 out of 12 reviews for "21 Guns"This song is so beautiful! Also, the music is the best I have ever found, and I cant wait to be able to play it! Although, I do have to say that for unsure piano players, like myself, Ive only been playing for 6 months, there is a lot of chords, but still worth every dollar!

LOVED this sheet music. Completely worth the sheet music and sounds exactly like the song! Do not regret this purchase at all and my favorite musicnotes download to date.

I bought the song 21 guns and the printer was out of paper, so it didnt print. Then my daughter accidently hit yes it printed correctly. Well you cant print it after that. so I wrote to the support team and they allowed me to print another copy. This was my first time using Musicnotes.com and yes, I would recommend them.

I am not a big Green Day fan, however as soon as I heard this song, I knew I wanted to purchase the sheet music and learn in on the keyboard/piano. 21 guns are the traditional salute at a military funeral; it is a final salvo to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Green Day uses the 21-gun salute as an appropriate title to this beautiful and moving song; I believe this is one of Green Days best songs, as it has a universal appeal (i.e., to me, this song is almost like a hymn and therefore is appealing to all ages, not just Green Days late teens to 30 something {age} core fan base). This wonderful and moving anti-war/anti-violence song ("lay down your arms, give up the fight...") is equal to the best of the anti-violence/anti-war songs (e.g., "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and "Give Peace A Chance" and "Imagine" by John Lennon). As far as I can tell, this sheet music is 100% accurate to Green Days recorded song.

My student loved playing this song. It was very accurate and sounded just like the recording.

Very fun! Learned this in 2 days at the last minute to accompany cousin vocalist/guitarist.
