I'd get spanked by my guitar teacher for not alternate picking if that was me (that unschooled punk down-down-down don't fly) but Upvote for the sheer awesomeness of getting invited onstage! That was a risky sitch. Kid's got a rock-n-roll soul.


Then you guitar teacher is wrong. Down-picking is the correct (i.e. how it was written) way to play it.

*promote because playing guitar on stage with a band you love has got to be one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Thank you so much for the promote! :


What a nice thing to say! I do spend a LOT of time looking for videos. I have probably about 30 video sites/webpages bookmarked and I just keep looking through them one after another every day until I find something that I really like. I guess I'm a video addict.

If you guys enjoy this stuff, check out a series of albums called "pickin on" There are probably around a hundred or so albums of nothing but bluegrass covers. Some of my favorites include
Pickin on classic rock
Pickin on green day
Pickin on AC/DC
Pickin on the White stripes
Pickin on widespread panic
Pickin on the Grateful Dead

The cover of Southern Cross by Crosby Stills and Nash on pickin on classic rock 2 is incredible..

In fact, I think I'll sift a live version of the original, damn that's an amazing song
update edit: http://videosift.com/video/Southern-Cross-live-by-Crosby-Stills-and-Nash

you can preview the pickin on version on amazon but that's the best I could find

Bah, this Green Day's song would had been better if it was with T.A.T.U.'s All About Us and/or Beliy Plaschik that I like.

Yeah I agree. Their earlier stuff was better. >> ^vootronic:

Nice! I prefer the Green Day mashup version tho:

When he was saying Pearl Jam, he was actually holding the Green Day CD.
