Tips On Green Day Tabs

Here are a few quick tips to find easy guitar tabs of Green Day:

In general, Green Day's earlier songs off the album 39/Smooth and Kerplunk have songs with simple tabs. Their newer material can be a little bit trickier to play, so if you're looking for easy, look chronologically early.
A good amount of Green Day songs - like American Idiot - involve a lot of repetition, so if you are having trouble with a particular pattern, it might come up again in the song.
Conversely, if you are doing really well with a certain chord pattern, you might get another chance to play it in the song!
Green Day songs are meant to be fun, so don't let it bog you down if you can't play a certain chord or note; just play past it!
