Green day- Basket case
this song is really easy and sounds wicked. Most of the tabs were in 1/2 note down tuning, so i decided to tab it
with regular tuning.
the only problem was the solo part with 2 so i just left it. but otherwise, it sounds okay.

E-mail me if u have any questions babums1230@hotmail.com
make sure to put the distortion on and the song will also sound better if you slide when playing the intro.
that's about it... rock on! make sure to rate/correct this tab!!!
