How to play time of your life on guitar easy is what we're going over with today's guitar lesson for beginners. I know, I know, the actual name of the song is Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), but people search more for Time of Your Life by Green Day so I'm trying to appeal to what people are actually looking for.
