Basket Case Guitar Tablature
Basket case ( Green day )

Play all notes 4 times except (*)

Hi everyone, I’m pretty sure this tuning is perfect. I’ve played it on my guit and it sounds pretty good. I havent put all palm-muting things but its much easier like this. This tab isn’t tuned down half a step, but it’s Okay, the price for not having to tune down your guit everytime you play this tune is to play 2 notes instead of 3 at some places, but it doesn’t really matters in the way it sounds.
