Song: Basket Case
Album: Dookie
Lyrics: Billie Joe Armstrong
Music: Green Day
Half tuning. E becomes Eb and every other string goes down half a step too.
If you couldn’t be bothered half tuning your guitar just play the
High Eb (6th fret on A string or 1st fret on D string).
p = pull off
h = hammer on
/ = slide
# = deadstrum
pause = |--- ---|
