In this complete song lesson we will take a look at Green Day's popular hit "21 Guns" in it's entirety.
I think this song proves how a band can continue to develop as song writers well into their career. This 21 Guns guitar lesson really shows how Green Day and guitarist/singer Billie Joe Armstrong can write some clever hooks into a simple rock format.
The first thing I will show you how to play is the atmospheric intro played with volume swells. The chord voicings here use only two notes played either a minor or major 10th apart. That is a chord voicing made popular by The Beatles great "Blackbird".
After that we will take a look at the chords for the acoustic verse. This shouldn't provide too much of a challenge if you are used to playing barre chords.
When the full band finally comes in at the chorus, we are on to a fully distorted electric guitar sound that uses mostly power chords. The rhythmic difference between the chords is the most important thing to focus on here. The chorus also contains all little lick that is used over the chords. I will demonstrate that as well.
There is also a bridge section that contains all power chords again, however, the rhythm changes quite a bit here from the chorus so make sure you know how the song should sound by listening to it quite a lot.
All we have left to learn then is the guitar solo. The solo actually moves around the fretboard quite a bit both vertically and horizontally. It is a very singable solo, as most Green Day solos are, but you will need to focus on the fingerings that I am using in order to comfortably play the entire thing.
So have fun learning this great Green Day song, it is certainly one of their best. :)

[@fipgwen1434]

hey man I know this is a really old video but ive been playing electric guitar for 6 months now and dont really have much knowledge of pedals. Which type of pedal do you use to get the chorus sound? And within this type do you have any recommendations about which pedal I should buy? I really dont want to throw away money on a pedal that sounds nothing like this, thanks ;)

[@jonathanmascarenhas185]

Buy a good overdrive pedal

[@wowzevii1527]

[@TheJohncena2108]

First Comment:D Love ya Carl Brown, awesome tutorials:)

[@ignaocampos5948]

ecualization?

[@jadengames.3662]

Does this work on a acustic gustar?

[@dhruvlevel9641]

If your talking about the intro and verse, it does work on acoustic guitar, but it's probably easier to do on an electric

[@RJLAGOAT]

I’m a rookie. Really don’t even understand any of these terms but this is amazing 🥹

[@danielunderwood7966]

what guitar is that?

[@christinajames2412]

fender stratocaster

[@IrfanHaqueOriginal]

Solo backing chords?

[@jakelapoint556]

what guitar does he use

[@pepperchopper2477]

Fender Stratocaster I think so

[@TheMarshedMallow]

Fender Squire strat.

[@leewhitworth9142]

It isn't a Squier. He's said in the past that it's an Eric Clapton signature Fender.

[@savioabraham3004]

How do you get your guitar to sound like that

[@casualveemo2922]

Amp

[@thegrimmretails3777]

[@jackomeara3425]

[@patthetwat6963]
