my uncle just showed me power chords and stuff ocne and then i could play those. i wasnt good, but i could play.

i dont know how long it took to get "good". but i've been playing for 2 1/2 years. i dont consider myself good, but other people have told me i am, so i dunno.

i dunno, im still trying to get better and better. it's hard to learn to play 'well' cuz there are different standards of 'well' for everyone. i guess i learned to play kinda well after like 3-4 months i dunno. ive been playing for many years now and im still trying to get better.

i started learning for the 3rd time (i hated my other two guitar teachers and my guitar) about a month ago... and my friend says im very good allready but then i learn really really really quickly... i can even play the beggining of 86 behind my head Twisted Evil ... Rolling Eyes ok so thats just showing off really but it annoys the hell out of ppl who say girls cant play guitar! Very Happy
but yeah... i dont think you ever really stop learning, you just get better at different rates.

lmfao agreed! he can solo here and there but i'm sure many people can do those solos =P but i guess he never really needed to learn to play anything besides power chords cuz they're a power chord band. i seriously can't imagine him shredding =S

The second Jesus Of Suburbia (maybe the second) solo must be the most complicated Green Day solo ever.

And I tabbed it out. So Billie Joe is not that Super mega very good.

Thats probably not even Billie Joe. Its definitely not him. Its probably Jason White

Which part is that?

Ack. I can play power chords with ease when I had only been learning for like 5 weeks. But I've been learning a year, and I still need alot of practice before I can play well. I can do pretty basic guitar solos and a few classical peices. I can do bar chords and normal chords. But I still suck! XD

I've been playing since June and my guitar teacher says I'm good iwth changing chords. Like in Warning you have to change them pretty fast, actually scratch that, Poprocks & Coke there's a lot going on from switching on and off from powerchords to reg to power
