How to Play Warning by Green Day - EASY BEGINNER SONG

how to play Nov 14, 2020

Hey guys! Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another guitar lesson for beginners. Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite easy guitar songs for beginners that's also a great alternative rock song...Warning by Green Day. Which is from the album of the same name, which I think is their most underrated album, but that's another story :) Warning is a great beginner guitar song because the whole song is only three chords (A D G) & is only made up of one chord progression (A D G D) plus a little riff that gets used for an interlude & the bridge. It's super easy & you'll be able to get this down in no time! The part I'm going over in this video is the acoustic guitar part from the recording, but you can easily play this on an electric guitar if you prefer.
