Played with the Gibson Les Paul Junior Billie Joe Armstrong
that shirt damn.
It's sad that they only sold it on the European Tour, should've been on general merch sites as well! A lot of Green Day fans would appreciate that!
Excellent. You are the first person I have watched who actually plays this correctly. Nicely done!
Thanks man! and thank you for saying that, it's important to me to play as accurate as possible, whether it's with 100 different tabs or watching live videos. I'm glad other guitar players like you notice how it should be played!
I’ve wanted that shirt forever now.
😂
The cover was just on the spot! Well played!
Thanks man!
I came here from a redirected video, i am a guitar player myself and learn everything from covers, the covers of this song on youtube are total garbage... then i came here, you play awesome and i am so jealous of that junior😉 i just bought an Epiphone one with a P-90 in it cause somehow in whole freaking Europe i can't find one junior😑 anyways that was not my point. love your video man! let's raise your account to the top of the list! i subbed!
Solingk Gaming Thanks man I appreciate it, and hope my cover helps! I live in Belgium and it wasn't easy getting this one..
and a guitar with p90s is still good because it can deliver that punch that Green Day needs! I'll post more covers, took a break because I went to see Green Day a couple of times! You do covers as well?
Solingk Gaming And thanks for the sub man!
Guy Declerck i'm from the Netherlands ^^ sadly i had to miss the concerts :( well i am at a stage where i can play almost all the songs from Greenday and i do have a channel called Nieks Greenday Covers but i am very busy with school atm so i didn't had time yet. and ye about my epiphone it is also a junior so it's only the trade mark thats different altho Gibson is the real deal ^^

Solingk Gaming You should look up, the Epiphone '57 re-issue
les Paul junior as well, but exactly based on Billie's Floyd! Since he uses a 57'model as well!
and I guess I can pretty much say: Hallo buurman! GD concert in Amsterdam was geweldig! Jullie publiek is fantastisch, en dit jaar doe ik Pinkpop en Lowlands! Ik ben enorm graag in Nederland voor de gigs :)
Glad to see someone else playing it. (And Glad to see that i had it on hear)
Keep going on !
I used this as a reference for how to play this correctly. Fantastic job!
Honored to be your reference Jason! Feel free to leave a question if you need advice or help!
thanks man!
Wow love your covers, I haven't listened to rev rad in a a while I'm going to do it rn
It's so damn accurate it sounds like someone just cranked up the guitar part omg!! Props dude!
Thanks you! I am really proud of this cover since I learned it by ear and watching fan footage
No tab or no chords to look at, but sadly I didn't make any afterwards
Thank you for the kind words!
Guy Guitar Covers By ear? Damn... thats even better! And if anyone wanted a tab, the way you're sitting makes it fairly easy to see the fretting positions 😁 I want to learn the guitar part but as a Bassist I gotta learn the bass line first 😬 good luck with your guitar playing!
I started the channel because I learned Bang Bang on ear when it was released as a single. It had no use that my face was on there or multiple shots since because other fans who watched it couldn't learn anything from it. So I rebooted my channel, and changed my cam position to make sure, like you say, they see my finger and fret positioning, and my strumming pattern.
And thank you, I'll need it!
Guy Guitar Covers at the same time though if you have the skill to play a song like that accurately, you're probably skilled enough to be able to learn a song by ear lol. That's just me though... I usually use Songsterr for tabs but I've taken sheet music to tab songs and I can read sheet music for bass... it really sets the limit for skill in my opinion
Esta bien chida yo tambien la saco😬🎸🎶🎶play guitar.
Awesome cover! I've been watching it to try and improve my playing technique for this song
beautiful!! i love this so much
I Love Green Day!!!!
I really wish I knew where to buy that shirt, Billie Joe wore a shirt very similar to that one you’re wearing during the 99 Revolutions Tour. I know you said it was a exclusive shirt sold at their shows during the European Tour to someone else in another reply in this comment section. But anyway great cover man, I really enjoyed it!
Hi man!
God I wish they were still available, sooo many people who want(ed) this and it doesn't seem fair that it was only available on the tour itself instead of merch store or their own merch store... even though it was 50 euros/dollars, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would want it since it has front and backprint, feels like a custom merch-shirt :)
And thank you for your kind words!
Damn you even have his guitar holy fucking shit you're committed
Wow Incredible Good Job👍👍🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
2:23 before "If this is what you call a good life" ... it's not D5 C#5 B5 ... but D5 A5 B5. But still, pretty good job!
Thanks for pointing that out man! :)
@@GuyDeclerck @pitris8 Got to disagree - it is played correctly in the video.
Great work on this cover! Enjoy the process! :D
Thank you!
That's a beautiful floyd
Awesome!!👍
Thanks man! Thanks for checking it out!
😍😍😍😍
Awesome man!!
ExSpireXion Thanks man!
Awesome cover! I have the exact same guitar!
Thank you! Glad there are others who have the guitar as well! You like it? :)
Perfect! Subscribed :)
Kyle Sith Thanks man! :)
dude i owe you a ton, if it wasnt for you i wouldnt have been able to learn this song, a few of the bridges between different parts kept tripping me up. Watching them play it live (both on youtube and IRL) didnt help because sometimes Jason moves his hands too fast and i cant tell where he fretted his power chords. So again, thank you thank you thank you thank you.
slyfor2 Glad I could help! The main reason why I do this is to make sure other guitar players can follow my hand and see the strumming pattern. I had to watch several live videos as well to figure it out. Thank you for choosing my cover to help you out!
well im glad you have such a dedication to this and i can safely say all the other covers out there are shit but this one is fantastic. Not only is this my favorite song on Rev Rad but this is probably my favorite green day song (theirs too) and to finally be able to play it makes me feel so happy. thank you again my friend!
It's one of my favourite songs as well, the feeling when you can play the entire song is so great. Glad it helps! You're welcome, and thank you!
Just casually walking down memory lane in your channel...😂
oh yea
Love the cover! Can you cover Are We The Waiting/Saint Jimmy? Also, where did you get that shirt!? I love it!
Rocman 05 Thank you! I did cover Are We The Waiting but took it off because the video didn't reach 1080p! St Jimmy is already on the channel :) I got the shirt in 2013 on the European Tour in he summer!
Wow! Thank you so much!
You nailed it man!
Thanks a lot man! :)
Guy Declerck No problem! Check out some of my vids as well:)
Sure! you have a great beautiful guitar man! Your covers are spot on
You have a dutch name right? From where are you? :)
Guy Declerck Thanks man! I just subbed to your channel! If you like my videos, you can sub back too!
Im from Germany actually. Are you from the netherlands?
Belgium, close enough though. Sure i'll sub to your channel!
Solid. \,, /
wow i love this cover and i got the same guitar but then in black and im from belgium too lol
jvh 372 Oh really! Flemish or? :) You play covers as well with the guitar?
Guy Guitar Covers yeah im flemish XD. i started to practise more since like 2 months but im trying XD i rlly like your covers
Thank you!
Waar had je de gitaar gekocht? of Hoelang heb je hem al? :)
Guy Guitar Covers iemand verkocht hem 2dehands maar hij is nog in perfecte staat, en sinds juli. en jij?
jvh 372 same, alleen had ik een ruil gedaan. De koffer heb ik wel niet jammer genoeg! Hij is wel in perfecte staat :)
Did you learn that by ear or with tabs or..how did you do it? Incredible as always. This song is still under my top 10 GD songs i keep on coming back to and definetly represents my feelings about that time we live in.
Tobi X Hi man! At the time of recording this video, it was barely out, fresh and new. So I learned it by ear and watching fan footage of a version they a few fays before the album got released. It's such a great song, I had the pleasure of seeing this song live in concert 4 times now, blew me away :)
Guy Guitar Covers Well i learned it by watching this video ^^ but learning by ear..WOW...for how long have you been playing then? I guess like 6 years or something?...Up till now i haven't had the pleasure to see GD live :( but must've been incredible...I'm right now in my first year of playing guitar (been playing for like 7 months)..i'm quite proud of myself mastering bends,vibrato scales etc and the Rabea Massaad Solo (type in to YT) in my first year so yh...keep coming back to this vid..it's just fun to watch you play and simultaneously listening to one of my fav GD songs :)
That's really cool, it's the reason why I have this channel, so other fans can follow how I play it!
Pretty much everything is learned with ear, it gives me an idea of the song key, chord progression,... Then I look at fan videos of concerts to see where certain chords are played, stuff like that.
Currently 6 years, but I'd say that the first 3 years were nothing else than Green Day, It's only after the 5 years that I got BJA's guitar, and wanted to have my tone as accurate as possible :) I have seen them 8 times so far in 3 countries, best show was Brixton Academy in London 5 years ago for 4900 people! :D
It's nice that you're making progression but more importantly that you're proud of it! You definitely should be, I always advice other players to film yourself when you think you can master something, be proud of it! :) And thank you for the kind words man!
PS: I love Rabea Massaad (and the solo) and Rob Chapman and the Andertons channel in general (especially Sounds Like.. --) !! :)
Guy Guitar Covers if you want your tone as authentic as it gets you gotta get a 100W Plexi xD would be pretty damn loud but authentic...my dad used to have one but he sold it like 4 years ago...question off topic: what do you think about paramore? Did/do you listen to them? And if u do do you prefer their older or their newer stuff? ^^
Yeah ofcourse I should then, even a Marshall DSL40 that sounds f*cking loud will do the job :p
Since I do all my music work in my room, I can't have a 100W plexi :)
Yeah Paramore, there are only a handful bands that I haven't seen live, one of them is Paramore and I would love to go to one of their sets on a festival or something! Wouldn't necessarily go to a concert unless they'd have a support/guest/co-headline band that I really love. I like them, I know their older stuff ofcourse (who doesn't?) But I really enjoyed the new album, I listened to it 2 times (didn't save it in my library or something) and I think that it's a really fresh input in their discography. If you'd listen to their songs on shuffle, you'd get a great variable setlist and that's important for them as for fans I think. I hate to be the guy who says "their older stuff was better" or "First album was best, everything after that is garbage". I like how bands evolve!
Ofcourse sometimes it can sound more pop or softer, and I'd listen to it less (for example Muse singles)
But in Paramore's case, they knocked it out of the park by completely changing their style & sound, and I can only applaud that! :) Are you a fan or just interested or? :)
Dude this is pretty accurate and fucking sick cover. I was wondering if you can help me out at the part 0:33 and Also with the first solo if you can please. :)
Hi! those are just the octave chords, index finger on 2nd string (7th fret) and ring finger on 4th string (9th fret)
you slide them up like:
7---9-----11-----14----16~~
9---11---13-----16----18~~
Guy Guitar Covers Thx man, love your covers they help me out a lot. Keep the good work :)
Buzzing to find this page mate great covers with the guitar I wanted to see been played! Would you still recommend this (assuming it’s the 2006/2010 run?) would you say these still viable or get the 2023 one?
Recommend this guitar? Absolutely!
That run of guitars (2006/2010) had such an amazing pickup, the 'H90' (or P100) which is a double stacked P90. It's still not a humbucker as it tries to remain that punchy P90 sound. But it has more beef and more output. And GOD I LOVED IT! I really don't like playing single coil guitars and I am not a huge fan of P90's either (depends on the guitar). But the sound of this pickup was SO GOOD. Those pickups were only made for that run and the DC in 2012 if I remember right. The newer models have more regular P90s which are also meant to be humcancelling, they definitely sound more thin to me compared to the H90. But I guess the idea of the pickups in the new guitar is to reach the more vintage P90 sound. But man that H90 sounded so great. You could get that punchy Green Day tone by not using too much gain on the amp and it would sound so close! I could talk for hours about that pickup and that guitar, sadly I don't have these anymore since my own band kicked off and I play humbucker Gibsons with a stop-tail. So Gibson LP Juniors aren't in my collection anymore sadly. But I would still absolutely recommend the Gibson BJA LP Jr run from 2006/2010!
@@GuyDeclerck that’s great man thanks for the in depth reply really appreciate it! I’ll try getting one of these too guy mate thank you
Where did you get the T-shirt of Green Day with the Adeline skull? And great cover.
On their tour back in 2013, I believe it was Pinkpop festival or Rock Werchter. They were limited but pretty expensive, 50 euros. Thank you!
Wow, amazing cover, i subscribed👍🏻
And that shirt ❤️
Dumb question, but there is no way you would sell it, right?😅
Thank you!
You wouldn't tell on video but the shirt isn't in new condition, I've had it for 5 years and the print (big Adeline skull on the back) is starting to fade away :)
Guy Guitar Covers Ok, i guess that would not mind😅 I searched for it nearly a year now haha
Yeah as far as I know it was only available on the European Summer Tour in 2013 for 50$/50 euros. Shame they never sold it on webshops or something :/
Guy Guitar Covers So would you sell it to me? It would not be a problem for me if it is not in a new condition, I would be very happy anyways😅
Btw. I was on the tour too, the show was incredible 😆
My goal on guitar is to play this song
I hope this video helps! I had to learn it without any tabs, but by seeing them live and see live recordings. God it was great when I could play it :)
Is there a place where I can a get that shirt
Hi! I'm afraid it was a limited run at the time during the European Summer tour where they sold it on the venues only, which was 50 euros... It was the only way to get one. Really hoped it would be available!
Beautiful tone, what strings you got on her?
Thank you! I believe I had Hybrid Slinky's at the time of recording!
Which distortion do you use?
Very nice cover. Any reason you didn't do the solo tho?
Hi! At that time I just prefered the chords of that certain part, it makes it darker. I think a few "bends" would feel odd since I did chords for the whole video :) I was planning to do them though, but while recording it i just went with the flow and felt playing the chords would fit better :) as I said it's a few bends, nothing special that would add or make huge difference to the video :)
What’s the third chord your playing in the somewhere reprise where it goes D chord then what looks like a G chord?
Hey man, Awesome cover!! This is one of my favourite GD tunes for sure! What strings are you using on your junior?
Thank you! Hybrid Slinky's all the time! :)
thanks for the reply! What gauge please?
@@Magnets09 Hybrid Slinky's are 9-46
Heyo! I really enjoyed the video. Do you think you can email or dm me the tabs for the song? Keep up the good work!
Hi Rocman 05! Thank you very much! I wish I could
But 90% of my covers are done after I learned it by ear, just like this song. It was barely out and it was played live maybe 2 times and I had no references just fan-recorded live videos and the album. So I played it a couple of times and felt right to do the cover, sadly I never made a tab or never made one ever since, at the same time I was hoping that the angle where I shoot my videos is good enough to follow it on screen, since my hand is almost in the middle of the shot :) I'm really sorry that I can't send any file or something, I still hope that my video helps though!
Definetly does still help! Thank you!
how do you change the strings on that guitar? bc i have an strat and a les paul junior??? i think it's a junior and i dont know how to change the strings
Yo dude where did you get your shirt?
It's my most asked question, got it on the 99 Revolutions European Summer tour in 2013. Either in Belgium or The Netherlands (can't remember, it was the same week.) It was a limited run and was 50 euros. It was only released as an exclusive tour merch-item and was never sold on the official store or in other merch-shops/sites.
What interface are you running to get such a good sound?
Where u get that shirt
Hi! I receive that question so often.
I'm afraid it was a limited run at the time during the European Summer tour where they sold it on the venues only, which was 50 euros... It was the only way to get one.
Nice one
Gonna take you up on the question!
How exactly do I play the rhythm part for the key change? The part with Jason Whites little solo?
Taylor Itkin it's hard to explain
if you go to Songsterr.com, forever now
and then the playthrough, click on overdriven guitar
it's pretty close there
that should help you
i kinda play it the same way :)
Thanks!
What rig do you usually use in your videos, I love the tone
It's been so long.. Marshall MG100 head or an Orange CR120 Pro Head (Gain channel) -> Orange PPC112 -> Tube Screamer (as a layer) -> Gibson Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Junior.
It's a long time ago though, now I'm going to use Fender Bassbreaker High channel -> Orange PPC112 -> MXR Dookie Drive (+ Tube Screamer?) -> Gibson BJA les paul jr.
@@GuyDeclerck Thanks, I dont have those amps but I will do what I can with my Code 50. But I have been interested in both of those amps for a while and now I have one more reason to get them.
How did you get that shirt ? It's so nice I want one haha
Got it on tour back in 2013 in the summer, was a limited run and costs 50 euro/dollar
They should re-launch this shirt right? :)
Guy Declerck ya it's so fresh
I've been confused with picking lately. How do you know when to alternate and in general how to pick and when to pick it up or down? Do you just kind of do it how you're comfortable doing it ? Or is there a way to know how the original picking is?
James Brasher Both, its following the rythm thats in your head, following the drum and with Green Day, you can hear the strumming really good. Mostly for me its following what is comfortable and what sounds accurate enough :)
you'll know...basiclly, just let the guitar guide you..youll know what sounds best
Very late but plz where did you get that shirt?
It was a limited shirt that got offered on the European tour for 50 euros/50 dollars/42 pounds
I got mine either at Rock Werchter in Belgium, or Pinkpop in the Netherlands
I notice there's a high demand, so I always wondered why they didn't make it available on the shops or got more..
Please where do u have buy this t shirt please ?
YoGyZ on tour in 2013 :)
Guy Declerck and now we cant buy this ?
Normally not, they were limited and costed 50 euros, I believe there were only 2 or 3 of these per venue. So I bought mine and afterwards loads of fans were asking for it, but they didn't make it available... The backside of pretty cool too, the Adeline skull and 'Green Day' above. Sad they're not available though :)
where can i get that t shit maan???!!!!!!!!
It was on tour in 2013 :)
what amp?
MasterNate Orange Crush Pro 120 + Tube Screamer + Blues Driver
Guy Guitar Covers does it sound the same witjout the blues driver?
It just fills it up more, it's more suitable for palm mutes,
Though i'm sure if I upload it without Blues Driver, It wouldn't make a huge difference on video :)
It's not on all the time as well, just on the mute stuff, the "don't want to think about tomorrow" stuff and on the "I'm running late..." stuff :)
Guy Guitar Covers thxn so much dude keep rockin!
Question! Are you using a backing track or just the song?
Whatshisname the song, Mic on my Amp and then mix it a bit together :)
Do you use a guitar pedal on this cover?
Tube Screamer on all my old covers! just on top of a crunchy gain so it thickens it up but doesn't saturate it
how do you get that tone?
HeyPhilip The lower the gain/overdrive on the Amp, the punchier the guitar can come out, it fits perfectly with the song if you search for that sweet spot of punch and still enough overdrive!
and then ofcourse search for the right tone on the Amp, over and over again :)
+Guy Guitar Covers
Hey, I am really sorry to ask you again, but would you sell the shirt to me or do you want to keep it? I would not mind if the condition is not new btw.... you are my only chance to get it anywhere! 😅
Hi! I forgot to reply on our previous convo, sorry about that!
I'm sorry but I won't sell it, several small reasons. It's not that I wear it a lot or something. It has a certain sentimental feeling, if I see the shirt it takes me waaaay back to the Green Day shows in the summer. And I use it here and there on the channel (although I haven't uploaded for a while) And yeah.. the condition is bad but that's cuz it's been used on tour and stuff. so yeah, conclusion is that it's a bit unsuitable to sell the shirt, let me put it that way :) Really sorry that I couldn't help you!
Guy Guitar Covers No problem i understand you, thank you for helping me out :)
Who the fuck disliked this?
It's a pretty old video, at the time the song/album was just released and I had to learn the song by ear. I felt like I had it 90% right. So there will always be individuals who think 'I should've been more accurate' or 'they can do better' or whatever
Sometimes I get replies on this video like "Should've strummed like this" or "Use downstrokes there". None of that is relevant anymore this cover is so old :) I could update it but I'm still happy with this video.
but yeah, comes with the channel :)
Thanks man!
@@GuyDeclerck This was an awesome cover dude.
Can I get that tone with a Cube 40XL Amp?
Great cover btw! Still trying to learn the song through this video!
If you put your gain on 6, your bass on 6, middle on 8 and treble on 9. you might get close to a punchy tone. No idea how you'll put your lead amp settings, think brit combo might be close? or classic? Just make sure you get a punchy tone rather than a distorted one!
I just tested with those settings, but I tried with the extreme amp configuration. I just recorded a video so you can check it
Sure man check the comment section!
Alright, just uploaded “She”, could you check if the tuning is ok? Please?
Prize pls
1250 euros I believe
wtf
Bien pasado de verga!
Hi man! Don't know what your comment says because I can only understand dutch, english and french
But if I translate it, it says something like 'well past, cock!"
if this is an insult because I haven't posted anything lately (which I assume?)
It's because I don't have the time of my full-time job, and I only have 2 days to record. Right now my brother is making videoclips for his band so I handed out my gear, when I receive it back I will continue with my list of covers (+30 Green Day songs)
After everything there's a reason dude.
Hi dude, I know it is 7 months late but it is actually a compliment in spanish
Tab? :D
Whatshisname Gosh I did it all by ear.. i don't have a tab and I don't have the time to make one sadly
are the ones online not accurate?
anyways, if you doubt about a certain part I can explain it!
Ah, well I feel your version is way more accurate than the ones online.. Thats awesome
That's kind of you! I am willing to help you out with certain parts, or make a small tab for a certain part.
Hopefully you can see how I play it in the video, I tried to have full focus on my fingers on the frets.
Comment any time if you want some details for a certain part!
how much for the guitar? haha
I paid 1250 euro/1300 dollar/1100 pound :)
Have you played a regular LPJ with a P-90 compared to this? I've got exactly the same guitar but it's a 2009 LPJ instead of the BJ edition. Don't see any reason to splash extra cash on the BJ edition. What differences are there?
Hi! I did play a couple of normal LPJ, as well as the double cut (in my 99 Revolutions & Stay The Night covers). The h-90 is the pick up they use for Billie's signature models, it's a double coil pickup that is only produced for his signature models. It gives you more punch and is closer to a vintage p-90. it also hum-cancelling. It sounds really great, a bit bigger and punchier than a normal p-90. But there's no reason to give extra money for it. Just remember that Billie and Jason use a stock p-90's on their guitars, whether they're old guitars or new, they have normal stock p-90's on it. It's only something Gibson did on the signature models :) It is worth trying one out whenever you get the chance though!
There are parts where your strumming is just so robotic and i hate it. But otherwise good job
iForkSpoons yeah sorry, it was pretty recent after the album, werent any covers and live footage, It must have been an automatic sort of feeling to make sure I don't mess it up, I was really concentrating on the music in my ears to try and make sure I got it correct. Couldve done better but i am happy with the cover
gotcha! no worries, it didn't ruin the video or anything, and your tone is great!
What’s the point of doing a cover when all you hear over it is the original song...:/ don’t get me wrong, I would like this cover, if I could actually hear your guitar over the green day recording.
Chelsea Metcalfe To me it's clear :) I want it to fit right in the mix, but slightly louder. I do this because I'm constantly making sure that my guitar tone is as close to the tone on the albums and to me it is satisfying to hear it in the mix, and have it stand out slightly
I edit my audio using speakers, through my speakers at the time of editing, it was perfect :) There's always a video on my channel that's either louder or toned town in the background song
but I don't hear people complaining :) I had this channel and did some covers just for myself, people started to like them so I did more, but I never changed, I dont think I will change something tbh :)
Chelsea Metcalfe if you don't hear his guitar over the original song it means he's doing a good job
