5.0 out of 5 stars GREEN DAY ROCKS MY WORLD!! :} :] :), July 18, 2005

A Kid's Review

Before I got this book I thought playing Green Day`s American Idiot songs were hard but after getting this book I learned playing like Green Day can be easy if you practice.I learned to play the Green Day song "Holiday" in just a couple of days.I also learned to play "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Give me Novicaine" and "Wake me up when September ends" and of course "American Idiot". I have NEVER taken guitar lessons and learning to play these songs by yourself makes you feel GREAT!!.Learning to read TAB really helps when your learning to play Green Day songs.These songs are cool to play too when you hear or see a Green Day video on the radio or the tv its cool to say I can play that!. These songs are pretty easy to play and its fun sitting in your room playing and learning these songs for hours.If you like punk rock and want to learn to play then buy Green Day American Idiot guitar book.If you buy this book you wont be sorry. This book is soo right on!.So buy it and play guitar for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and you get the picture.GREEN DAY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
