  • thanks for putting the lyrics out of the video stream....

  • @jfrankethetanke: the strumming pattern is down down up up down up

  • What year is this?

  • @Fukawi1 you can play either c-add 9 or a normal c both sound good with the other cords

  • I have to learn this for my guitar teacher :) but I've always liked greenday

  • Live fast die real guys... You are an inspiration to us all!!!

  • anyone know the strumming patern for the chords?

  • @JFrankeTheTanke ...watch the video...

  • @JFrankeTheTanke strum pattern spans two measures and then repeats. 4/4 time. here's the count: 1 2 3&4&. R& 2 3&4&. here's the strum motions: v v v ^ v ^ . ^ v v ^ v ^. R is rest. you strum down on the first note of the pair (the numbers) up on the second 8th note of the pair (the &s). Sometimes Green Day guy is sloppy and doesnt follow any pattern, but this is the one I use and it sounds OK. haha. good luck deciphering what I just wrote

  • The chords are so easy for this song. It's g add 9 2 times c add 9 and d and it's the same strumming pattern is the same as hotel California

  • my Favorite gong to play

  • which gig was this?

  • somebody pleeease explain the strum pattern to me ive looked on multiple sites and nothing is helping. im a beginner so simple terms would be much appreciated

  • @EmilysVlogshow ikr naw i accually had this song in my head but yea Alli sang it awsomely :)

  • If he was on American Idol, they would call him "pitchy" and say that his guitar playing needed refinement, but I HATE American Idol!

  • I miss the violin solo... =(

  • music is meant to strike a chord in the heart

  • great video, but one thing.

    why is there a dislike button, again?

  • This is fucking stupid wanna be punk bullshit. I hope I wake up one morning and read that Greenday was all killed in a plane crash. As a 40 year old punk who grew up in the 80's and 90's when real punk / hardcore wasn't something you bought at Macy's or Hot topic this shit is so offensive to me I can't see straight. Fuck these douchebags and fuck all you hot topic mall punks who think this shit is real punk rock.

  • Comment removed

  • @tbone2872 Just listen to the music, its plain and simple. Don't like them, don't listen to them. Don't ruin it for other people.

  • @tbone2872 hopefully not being able to see straight causes you to walk in front of a bus soon :L

  • @craigdingwallnufc Fuck you and the mall.

  • Green Day are the new Beatles. Theres not such euphoria round the world cause there are always less people with good taste. One of the 5 best moments of my life was his concert in Madrid 30 september 2009. I loved that they ended with this master piece.

    And Billie Joe is the man I've long for more time since I was 14 till now that I've already become 29. I love you guys, I love you Billie!

  • @monizgonzalez Yes, and Justin Bieber is the Kurt Kobain of his generation.

  • @monizgonzalez the new beatles....i bit strong

  • @Honeythebeebee THE BEATLES,UR JOKING? GREENDAY IS FAR BETTER THAN THE BEATLES! I'M A BEATLES FAN MYSELF,BUT GREENDAY IS MUCH BETTER!!! DON' LIKE IT..TOUGH! YES,I KNOW OF THE BEATLES MUSICAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND FUCK THAT!GREENDAY IS EVERTHING I LIKE IN MUSIC AND YES;YOU FUCKERS OUT THERE,THEY ARE A PUNK BAND!! LOOK,EVERYONE OUT THERE IN AMERICAN IDOL LAND,I KNOW MY MUSIC AND I'M SICK OF THESE OLD AND TIRED OLD PEOPLE'S VIEWS BUT( THE BEATLES R THIS)-AN- (THE BEATLES R THAT)- FUCK THE BEATLES!

    PASS THIS COMMENT TO OTHER VIDEOS AND SPREAD THE WORD

  • youtube.com/watch?v=y3V2IK3rDn­Q

  • Talk about your lip spazums . Thumbs up if you agree

  • HD

  • when was this? =D

  • one of my favourite tunes ever and i normally listen to hardcore!!!

  • made a cover of this song. you should definetly check it out.

  • bad ass song

  • Yes the music is redundant, Some people say its a beginners song and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that if you want to use one strum pattern thru the entire song. I play this song a lot and it can get real boring fast. You have to mix up the strum patterns thru the song and arpeggio the song in parts. Personally I think the song is a cool song and if your a decent guitar player you can appreciate it as well.

  • did a cover of this song. i think i nailed it, but i guess thats for you to decide.

  • Greatest all time Green Day song and if you really want to know what kind of music it is the answer is simple... It's good music.

  • whats with all this bieber crap. oh i just said his name so we got to go to his video and write negative comments. i hate him too but this is green day for christs sake. comment on green day or not at all.

  • is he mad?

  • is he mad?

    

  • This song is the reason why I started to learn how to play guitar

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua

    Same here mate

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua hahaha me too!! xD

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua SAME!! first song i learnt!!!

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua me too dude. me too..

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua the same for me

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua Same here :) i can play this song too

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua no offence buddy but there is no need to learn guitar if you want to play this song.

    even a drunken monkey could play it ;)

    still a genious song but punksongs are just very easy 3 or 4 chord songs with monotonous strumming!

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua same im learning this song on guitar

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua same here :)

  • @HitchinToPasalacqua only started to learn? or are you still learning? ;o) sorry about the smartass remark! :)

  • @HoldMyNoodle I don't think you ever stop learning to pay guitar no matter how good you are your always learning something new to get better

  • You know I am glad Green Day "sold out" (if that's what you wanna call it)

    Shows they're not afraid to get there music out there, and that's what they wanted to do. FUCK the Punk community, their "laws" are bullshit.

    Green Day were tired of sleeping on peoples sofas every night, they had no place to live. They wanted to make money and support their family and make awesome music too. There's nothing wrong with that.

    And where are all these "punk rockers" now? flipping burgers at McDonald's?

  • @IfuckinLuvBillieJoe

    On thing is for sure - real punk is and will always be about doing something new.

    People who are punk are ppl who does not follow the mainstream.

    and if Greenday made money on that - does not make them unoriginal

  • I can play this on guitar its Pretty Easy

  • @remi3oh5 I can ALMOST play it. I can play about 30 of their early(89-94) songs.

  • what year is this from???

  • @beet111 Probably '96 or '97.

  • *¬*

  • you can tell how much he has improved over time with this song, when you see how he does it nowadays.

  • Everyone is worried about labels like . Punk Hardcore or whatever instead of consentrating on the music.A good song is a good song. To me this song just indicates that they have range in terms of their material. A good band evolves and does not write the same thing over and over again.It pisses me off when people call succesfull musicians sell outs. This band was popular well before writing this song. And if it got more people into their music than what is the harm?

  • the frikkin fans won't shut up and listen to the music...

  • I know, that someone is thinking: I wish I was the guitar, but I think it's better to hear it. ;)

  • i hate people who say Green Day have changed, no they haven't, people say they've changed to suit the popular music of today, no they haven't, popular music would be rapping shit, Green Day have gone against it and have produced two amazing albums since Shenanegans, and people can't say Green Day are now shit, they wouldn't be who they are today without American Idiot

  • He's my hero just because he can sing and play this song. It's incredibly difficult.

  • @sick11568 hmm? its only 4 chords. i can teach it you if you would like.

  • lol i have the same guitar looks the same

  • 18 guys r deaf haha :) HEY GUYSSS,if U R NOT DEAF LIKE THAT 18 GUYS VISIT MY CHANNEL AND WATCH MY VERSION OF THIS SONG,,I MADE VIDEO WITH TELEPHONE,,haha :) video n music by me:) WATCH,ADD ME AS A FRIEND,SUB,COMMENT :D

  • Thank you!

  • green day is my pleasure, I hope soon to take out another good album congratulations, soon will see them in concert ...

  • love it

  • i covered this song on electric if anyone looking to learn how to play it

  • Beautiful people and an absolute beautiful song it says a lot....only Green Day could come up with this amazing and true song..

  • Wtf is this "are they punk, are they hardcore" shit?

    music is music, fuck whatever the fuck is in your brain that tells you that you need to be "a certain level of hardcore(genre)", that shit is redundant, just listen to the fucking music.

  • @Emceetem i love you for this comment!

  • @ichbinKEINsocialtool

    Your gonna make me blush.

    ^_^

  • @Emceetem

    Well put. Fuck those people that try to classify it in a genre. Who the fuck cares?

  • @Emceetem your mom

  • @Emceetem you are sooooooooo not right talyor swift and Adam Lambert are so n so bans but i mean GREEN DAY out of all the peaple and bands you can not care about GREEN DAY R U KIDING ME! green day is a legend even if ther alive (AND I AM GLAD THEY ARE ALIVE WHO ISNT)

  • @elvis55415 Wait..what? x] S/he didnt say anything about not caring about Green day.

  • @Emceetem well said

    

  • @Emceetem - I find myself saying this a lot to EDM listeners too... I always bring up Einstein's quote, “All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.”

    Keep up the good work, Emceetem : ]

  • they didn't even sellout, they just tried to be punk in other ways

  • is that an acountis guitar?

  • @Francis7969 yes

  • @Francis7969 Not it's the frankestrat.

  • youtube.com/watch?v=Hq0nhe4vl_­k

    if you like good riddance then pls check out my preformance, comment ant thumbs up :)

  • Green Day needs to make more songs like this, that's my opinion anyway.

  • good to see them who were they before they became mainstream

  • @ikszdeh hahaa they were considered 'mainstream' ever since Dookie came out. and how is that automatically a bad thing anyway? American Idiot is one of the best albums ever written.

  • @MassEffectRocks

    yes, the American Idiot is an out-of-wrods good album. But i mean what they did after it (exept The Saint Are Coming) their new album doesn't sound like a rock or punk album.

  • @ikszdeh tbh none of their stuff is purely punk, mostly pop-punk and these days i would say their sound is firmly routed in alternative rock (East Jesus Nowhere, Horseshoes & Handgrenades, 21st Century Breakdown, 21 Guns). They still have pop-punk too with songs like Murder City and Christians Inferno. The new album was quite power-poppy in places but Green Day are still Green Day (:

  • I ♥ Billie Joe

  • I've got a great idea, let's all stand in a circle and jerk off.

  • sory about my ignorance but what is ADHD???

  • @sdistortion83 seeings I am borderline it I can tell you Attention Deficit Hyper disorder

  • @sdistortion83 an illness that causes people to have a hard time concentrating on one thing, and causes them to be hyper. I think it stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

  • one of the best musics of ever

  • Green Day is so amazing good

  • Billie does NOT have ADHD. He just said that as a joke in an interview.

  • Billie Joe Has ADHD?

    huh... my first guess would have been tre

    GREEN DAY IS STILL THE BEST

  • BILLY JOEL HAVE ADHD

    NOT BILLY JOE ARMSTRONG

  • we all love u billie joe youre a GOD!! :')

  • huh. I've never seen this performance, was this for a school or something? I like how mike was playing acoustic bass.

  • billie joe has ADHD??!!!??

  • @1234karenmarie NAH THAT guy fucking lied

  • @yihd part2

    You can reach heights others will never be reach.

    Many events/things in BJs life/actions are clear clues to his ADHD.

    I'll gladly point them out if u wish!

    Please know I am very grateful to BJ.

    I lost my dad to cancer when i was 5. BJ was 10 when his dad died.

    His lyrics & music helped carry me through some very tough times.

    I would even say he helped my kids to keep their dad, rather than succumb to the attacks I experienced.

    best to you & yours!

    Hank

  • @yihd

    hi,

    Google Global Currents ADHD and Loving it.

    It is a Canadian news/documentary. At one point, they say many very successful people have ADHD.They run baseball type of cards quickly on screen.

    BJA is on one of those cards.

    As a dad who has a "mild" case, as well as 2 of my 5 kids,this is encouraging. ADHD may lead to distractability when bored uninterested etc ,it can allow you to "Hyper-Focus" on the things you love.You can reach heights others will never reach,more in part2

  • @hankcmkjv Wow, sorry mate, I take back my words.

    I just found out I myself have ADHD.

    it was a shock.

  • @yihd no prob. I hope this helps. The world is so F#*%ed up, it's understandable when kids & and adults "act out" or are affected in some way.

    Please watch the documentary,. you may even be happy u have ADHD.

    I met Dr Hallowell in Montreal. He described why he succeeded, while other kids go thru hard times.

    qwik suggestions;TRULY appreciate yourself;focus on good things in ur life; pick a good/UNDERSTANDING spouse;pick a suitable career ( many I never would've thought of) , 2B continued

  • @yihd exmple-an x-grlfriend of mine (we're still friends )has ADHD, could nevr do office/tedious work, but is an AMAZING psychologist (I wish I explored somethng like this as a kid)

    Have a hobby! I began 2 play guitar (mostly because of "Good Riddance" ) last year. I'm not good,but I enjoy it.

    Groups exist where we get together to share strategies&exchange laughs. Some R mechanics, Drs, construction workers etc.All have ADHD.Check your area.

    It is a GIFT if u think it is! my sincere best Hank

  • @1234karenmarie

    hi Karen, please see my response to BJ & ADHD.

    My intent is to encourage those often wrongly/sadly labeled as problematic kids, rather than acknowledge their "gift". (& make the best)

    Google or youtube Global Currents ADHD and loving it. You may need patience to find the episode,but its there.

    They speak of successfull people who have ADHD, BJs foto zips by.

    PS Even Dr Ed Hallowell has ADHD.He credits a stable home/parents/a certain teacher, his wife for his success.H

  • what year was dis?
