BAND: Greenday
SONG: Longview
ALBUM: Dookie
TABBED BY: Chris Fazio (Slaughterer015@aol.com)
I'd recommend using a pick on this.
To play this song, tune your bass down half a step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb)
but you can leave it how it is, it'll just be a bit higher

Play eigth notes swing style
for example: two eighth notes equal a dotted eigth note and
a sixteenth note.

This song is supposed to be in half-tuning, so the way you have it now is wrong, just drop it all one fret and it should be good. oh, yeah and that intro is very wrong too.

There needs to be slides in the verse when gong from the 7th to the 5th fret of the A string and going from the 5th to the 9th. Other than that it seems right.

Actually that intro is correct. But he only does it when he plays live.
