Green Day

Green Day - 86 2 guitar tab

Green Day

86

(Insomniac, 1995)

I worked this out and it seems to one of the most simple

Green Day songs I've learnt so far. Easy to get the hang of.

As with almost all old GD, the guitars are tuned a fret down

on this song, so it actually sounds lower than written here, but

of course it sounds fine in standard tuning as the intervals are

exactly the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Special tab notation:

PICKSCRAPE = scrape the side of the pick along the strings

             to make a cool scrapey noise.

P.M.       = palm-muting = mute the played strings with the palm/side

             of your hand near the bridge.
