Notes

Studio recording, 1993/1994, Dookie album session. Billie Joe Armstrong used his Fernandes Strat ('Blue') with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. The amp was a Marshall Super Lead 1959 SLP, reportedly modded and blended with a Mesa/Boogie Mark IIC+ for the album, but the solo tone is primarily Marshall. No evidence of pedals used for the solo except amp distortion. Settings are based on sourced Dookie-era amp settings.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast alternate picking and accurate string skipping at a brisk tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques like sweep picking or complex bends, making it intermediate.
