Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords

This is the definitive original version of Burnout by Green Day, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

It is designed for guitarists ready to move past the basics and capture the true feel of Green Day's performance.
