Looking for Green Day song suggestions!

[CallumP]

Hello everyone, I've been asking friends for songs to play on guitar because I'm falling into abit of a rut of only doing exercises and I want to play more songs, pretty much everyone says that Green Day songs are great to learn so I was wondering if anyone hear has learnt some and could help me choose one that's good for a beginner/ slightly experienced player? Thank you

(currently learning towards Holiday but open to any and all ideas)

American Idiot is always nice to play. The solo isn't difficult too

Basket case, 21 Guns and walking contradiction come to mind

 

[Ryan Vega]

Basket case!

When I come around, welcome to paradise, and 21 guns are good

American Idiot, one of the first songs i learned all parts from, including the solo, not too hard, but fast, but i finally nailed that one
Also When i Come around is fun

If you like greenday songs, the difficulty of it, then you maybe like Nirvana songs too, they are fun too play and not too hard

Boulevard of Broken Dreams, American Idiot, Good Riddance(Time of your life)

 

[Alicia Willis]

Brain stew, Holiday, when I come around, and if you fancy a little acoustic; Good Riddance (time of your life)

 

[Gabby Heafy]

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

All The Small Things is a total banger!

Green Day isn't that hard, I think the hardest Green Day song is probably Revolution Radio and even that is easy. As long as you know how to play a power chord, you can play Green Day. I personally like playing Holiday and Welcome to Paradise.

All The Small Things is a total banger!

Blink 182 is fun to play too

Oh wow thank you everyone for all the responses! I'll get working through these

Edit: had some fun today learning American Idiot by ear, just need to get that second part of the solo down still!

Had to keep you on your toes!

21 Guns. It's a good song, you can work your tone on it, it has very different sections, a great and simple lead guitar, a very good solo and a lot of possibilities for improvisation and it's not hard. Good Riddance is also great if you want to try fingerpicking or hybrid picking.

I started learning power chords with "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day!
