alright the last post of this song was kinda schizo. this is one of my favorite Green Day songs so i'm making the effort to tab this out.
in the actual song i believe the bass is humming away on a B note throughout the whole intro, but the same part can be done on the guitar with some careful finger maneuvering. tune down half a step.
Intro: (the basic finger positions. as the buildup progresses billy goes intermitantly from plucking individual strings to strumming them to playing a full B chord and adding a bunch of muted stuff in between.)
