It was originally sung by The Who and their guitar playing differs from this newer version.
Just shows, that even crazy rocker people have feelings too, just like the rest of us. If you’ve heard some of their more slapstick songs, this one may pleasantly surprise you in its gentle heartfelt sentiment. You may need to practice this one to get the hang of it, but don’t let that stop you. The rhythm has a stop-and-go feel to it that just works. While the lyrics may appeal to some of you (exes who need to get over themselves are a thing), this song is interesting from a musical perspective too. I suppose guitar music isn’t what most of us think about when it comes to Justin Bieber, I certainly don’t, but here we are. The chords are easy and so is the picking pattern used. Green Day has a few songs that are a little on the emo side laden with meaning, but this is one of my favorites.
This song is about a break-up, but the words fit with any time you move on from someone or something in your life that once brought you joy. While this song can be strummed in a way that isn’t too difficult but adds that little something, it’s every bit as good when fingerpicked. Good Riddance Time of Your Life- Green Day
The picking pattern is quite easy with even the more intermediate chords played in simpler ways to compliment the overall style of the song. So if you’re in a long-distance relationship, this one may be extra special for you to play. A guy speaking to his girl about their future and how she’s pretty and how he’ll take whatever mode of transport to travel to her. And even over a decade later, I still skip it if it comes on. I enjoyed this song the first time I heard it, and then it got overplayed hugely. So you can make your own arrangement of this iconic song. It sounds good fingerpicked, but also great when strummed. It’s stood the test of time, and most guitarists know how to play this one. The Animals’ version is a cover of the 1933 version by Clarence “Tom” Ashley and Gwen Foster.
But this song has been covered by the likes of Five Finger Death Punch, bass singers like Avi Kaplan and Geoff Castellucci, Pink Floyd, Leadbelly, and more. I’ve chosen to share the video by The Animals because you can hear the picking nicely in this one. You can embellish the bass notes a little if you get creative for something a little more intricate. The picking pattern is pretty simple and uses just regular easy chords. The lyrics are also encouraging and everyone can relate to or at least has needed to hear these words at least once in their lives. It’s a song that’s beautiful in its simplicity. This song is pretty well-known, at least by the millennial crowd and beyond.
