good riddance (time of your life) by green day guitar lesson with strumming and picking

Another choice request by Maleproz.
Turn the volume up for this one because its a bit hard to hear.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I learned this song ages ago, pretty much exactly the same way but this one sounded much better. I've got a video on YouTube and I'm playing this.

[jaeyoonro]

[frankja8]

Good job! Can you tell us how you did the second strum pattern or go into more detail about the strumming?

[MrLowelife]

but terrible singing haha

thx

[RuwanX]

nice tutorial mate! 1 question though. could u pls giv the strumming pattern u use right after playing "I hope u had the time of ur life"? cuz it seems differnt than the pattern used for the rest of the song which seems like "down, down, up, up-down, up".

[F3ARMUFFS]

It goes in a down, down-up, up down-up down, down up, up down-up pattern, the down-ups are half the time of the others. It's a bit synchopated, though, so be wary.

[F3ARMUFFS]

Thanks so much for this, it helped a lot. Specially the part with the individual notes instead of just the strumming.
