Green Day - basket case

Got this tab from a guitar magazine and it sounds great. And its easier to play this way
than the basketcase version 1.

Usedown strokes thouugh out this part to create a sense of urgency. Bounce your
fretting hand om the strings, rather
than holding it tight into them for the palm muting.

alternte pick the semiquaver rythms, but use down strokes for the rest.Again use
your fretting hand for the palm mutting. Dont worry about hiting the top note of the
top note on the E chords excatly as written, as these are probaly not intentional.

Alternate pick this part using a down stroke for every second chord hit
This plays through twice after the first chours but four times after the second
before the middle break.

Use alternate picking.Youll need your forth finger to reach the A in the second beat
in bar 2.

This is 100% correct unless i have made a mistake
