Green day- Basket case

this song is really easy and sounds wicked. Most of the tabs were in 1/2 note down tuning, so i decided to tab it with regular tuning; im too lazy. haha


E-mail me if u have any questions   korean-minsoo@hotmail.com 
I\'m sure this tab is 99% correct cuz i play this with my band and it sounds perfectly perfect. Please rate/correct this tab. 
              
S.w              
              The song is actually 1/2 note tuned down, so if you\'re playing like that, play this tab 1 fret up. when playing the beginning of solo, if you\'re playing 1/2 note down tuned, play 
            eb----- 
            Bb-----
            Gb-----
            Db-2---
            Ab-2---
            Eb-0---

 *If you want to tune half note down, then just play first fret on all strings and tune them regularly.

Comments on this version of the 'Basket Case' guitar tab

Studzgreenday87Studzgreenday87Unknown Date
I would change the open,2, and 2 or e to 6,8,8 on the A string
rastafariman75rastafariman75Unknown Date
dude, i dont kno wut u did, but this is not a perfect tab. the song is originally half-step, like the entire dookie album. the half-step down lets u hit the lower Eb at the end of the song and if u watch the video, he's playing an Eb on 2nd fret.
alex90salex90sUnknown Date
I believe the tab is 99% perfect.


just ignore those f***ers with their


f***ing corrections
normannnormannUnknown Date
As said before ,the earlier Green day songs (including dookie) are tune down half step and it does make a big difference(especialy for this song).
georgeh2ogeorgeh2oUnknown Date
I personaly think it should be all 1 fret up (nearly all) but apart from that its a good tab
