Even the early stuff is easy, all you have to do is get your pentatonic scales down really good. All those early solos are based around the blues pentatonic scale.

cactus. Falling In Love With The Board Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 6442	September 5th, 2007 at 10:33pm Just Good Riddance and Church On Sunday.
The Brightside. Geek Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 235	September 7th, 2007 at 12:22pm WMUWSE was the song I learnt how to read tabs on. I still haven't perfected it. XD Holiday Letterbomb American Idiot Jesus of Suburbia [except for the last section... that needs works] BOBD Whatsername Hitchin A Ride Are We the Waiting She's A Rebel Give Me Novacaine Macy's Day Parade Blood, Sex and Booze Favourite Son Favourite Son's probably one of my favourite to play. So simple... but so catchy. The reason I play so many AI songs is that I have the book - and so its just always there.
High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797	September 8th, 2007 at 04:31pm blister blue.: Church On Sunday Therefore you can also play St. Jimmy, Blitzkreig Bop, and a shit load of other songs. Yay power chords!
The Fool On The Hill Had A Life Before GSB Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 26154	September 9th, 2007 at 08:09pm Or any green day song for that matter. almost every GD song is power chords
High Fidelity Falling In Love With The Board Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 7797	September 12th, 2007 at 02:55am Yes, but Church on Sunday has the exact same riff that makes up most of St. Jimmy and Blitzkreig. Good shit.
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 12th, 2007 at 03:10am What I love about GD's riff: SO MANY POWER CHORDS AND BARRE CHORDS! I love Billie for that. It makes everything easy. I can play At The Library, When I Come Around, Brain Stew, Basket Case, The Simpsons Theme... I take lessons still (I've been taking them for a while so yes I'm real good) so I learn a new song like every week.

Macfadyen Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 16175	September 12th, 2007 at 04:05am Green Day uses barre chords? Meh, I wouldn't call them easy, compared to power chords. I mean, they're not hard, but power chords are one of the first things you learn. Though barre chords are impossible to learn on finger-pick acoustic guitars, I'll tell you that much. Especially when you have small hands.
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 13th, 2007 at 02:30am ^^ I totally agree. XD Accoustics are annoying when it comes to trying to play barre chords on them. I can only play barre chords on electric. And yeah you can play Brain Stew with barre chords OR power chords, whichever, I personally like using barre chords for that song better.
Macfadyen Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 16175	September 13th, 2007 at 05:36am I can do barre chords on acoustics, as long as they have the standard steel-string necks, which are a lot smaller than the nylon classical ones. I'd imagine barre chords would just sound too high for Brain Stew.. shrug
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 17th, 2007 at 02:37am Well they sound cool for Brain Stew...they sound higher than they're supposed to for me but that's cause I'm not the best at barre chords. Yeah...I think I like power chords better...haha...XD I changed my mind.
Macfadyen Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 16175	September 17th, 2007 at 04:45am But.. thats the point of a barre chord. How do they sound higher for you? Do you move your hands up the fretboard? :x It's not like you can accidentally press down strings, they're all meant to be pressed down..
St. Dude Moderator Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 60077	September 18th, 2007 at 12:27am Brain Stew. thats it
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 19th, 2007 at 04:22am I don't know, I don't know why I said that, I must have been tired, but I think it's because you have to tune your guitar a half step down to make it sound normal, and Billie plays it with barre chords in BIAB.
Macfadyen Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 16175	September 20th, 2007 at 12:48am If it's usually half-step down, you'd have to play it lower, not higher. shrug It all comes down to preference, I guess.
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 20th, 2007 at 03:52am Yes I was right, it was a half step down. Hehe you made my day by confirming that.
Macfadyen Basket Case Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 16175	September 20th, 2007 at 06:21am I wasn't confirming, I really have no idea, to be honest. XD
Skittles. Geek Age: 29 Gender: Female Posts: 316	September 21st, 2007 at 02:58am wow XD I'm pretty sure I was right...but assuming is wrong...cause ASSUMING makes an ass out of you and me...i.e. - ASS\|U\|ME
