[@joshuacromley7439]

Thank God, I LOVE Powerchords

[@twigsz1]

Brain Stew is one of their most simple, yet probably one of their best riffs. Insomniac is an underrated album

[@Taab_seeman1]

Revolution radio is painfully underrated bang bang is my fav green day somg

[@kevwox]

I fucking love Insomniac. For me it’s top three, with Dookie being #1 and the third being either Kerplunk or Nimrod depending on how I’m feeling. No particular order for any of them after Dookie tbh. Old Green Day slaps Semi related, I used to consider American Idiot “new Green Day” but now I believe Warning through the Trilogy are like “middle Green Day.” UNO’s kinda the last album I enjoyed by them tbh

@@Taab_seeman1 revolution radio isn’t really underrated

[@cbasa97]

Isnt it basically the same riff as 25 or 6 to 4?

[@n8_n]

​@@cbasa9725 or 6 to 4, but yes it's basically identical. this is like calling the intro to Ice Ice Baby iconic or creative

[@GreenDayDog2004]

Green Day is one of those bands beginners should look into and learn how to play their riffs

[@SomebodyMeOnceTold]

Agree, Know Your Enemy was the first full song I ever learned.

[@dok599]

beginner here, really trying to nail the american idiot chords but am finding it really hard to transition that fast lol... any tips beyond just rote practice?

[@GreenDayDog2004]

You obviously have to alternate pick (more like strum) and use three finger power chords which helped me in the long run compared to two finger power chords

[@oscarenbeta4793]

When I was a beginner the first song I learned was the intro of Better Call Saul xd

[@adri_mirn]

​​@@dok599Slow down your speed of playing, and then increase it gradually. Use a metronome for that, it will help a lot. The original BPM for American Idiot is around 186, you can decrease it by half (93, or even slower if you may need) for your fist try, and when you feel comfortable with that BPM, go for a higher one.

[@GLASSB182]

Dude your tone for both guitars is astonishingly so on point!

I know it's "iconic" and not "best" riffs but the first 3 songs on 39/smooth are some of my favorite riffs of them

The minor 3rd on the 6 cord for when i come around is a cool touch. I actually learned stuff from this!

[@Whyltsme]

We need a part 2 (and 3!) now pls

[@Jedi_With_Aesthetic]

One time I played Brain stew on a 7 string what was so cool about that is that I didn’t have to tune down at all, and it was so easy to rearrange the riff because of it’s simplicity

[@pustulioyo]

"One Eyed Bastard" is now in the running for one of the greatest Green Day guitar riffs, change my mind.

[@EliaAl-Nims]

Its kinda boring imo. Best riff off of saviors imo is fancy sauce, bobby sox, or living in the 20s

[@GiveSic]

Worry Rock is my personal favorite, the riff is a little confusing at first but it's fun to play and has a nice simple solo.
