Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (Insomniac sessions). Billie Joe Armstrong used his 'Blue' Strat with a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup into a Marshall 1959 SLP head with the 'Dookie' mod. No evidence of pedal use on this solo; tone is amp-driven. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp type. No explicit pedal or effect use confirmed for this solo in any source.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast alternate picking and precise timing at a brisk tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex phrasing, making it accessible to intermediate players.
