Notes

Live performance, 2020s era (Live in Prague). Billie Joe Armstrong's main live guitar for 'Brain Stew' is the Gibson Les Paul Junior with a P-90 in the bridge, running into a pair of modded Marshall Super Leads. For clean sections, the amp is set to lower gain and higher mids/treble, with minimal or no pedals. Settings are for live, not studio.

Difficulty

The riff is slow, repetitive, and uses simple single-note picking with no complex chords or advanced techniques, making it accessible to beginners.
