Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)

[xan.]

I really like to play and sing this song. I know all the chords and I can strum the chords but I want to be able to pick the notes. Whenever I look at a tab it seems they always tell to pick the wrong notes and it doesnt sound right. Does anyone have a tab that they know is 100%?

I play this tab and I think its correct

billy armstrong plays some kind of folk picking on this song but its played with a pick.
just pick the chords and repeat the picking scheme.

Are you sure?

[goodboy85]

i´m not 100% sure that it´s picked exactly the way i wrote cause i don´t have my guitar here but just listen to the song and try out what sounds best for you.
the cords are right 100%

[dmb66]

well I don't think that one above is correct but it is damn close....there is a tabbed out version in this month's acoustic guitar magazine alongside an article about sustained notes chords and it is dead on...try to get ur hands on that one if u can


make that the january 2006 issue

The picking part is just like that. I am about 95% sure it is exactly right. If you still want to pick the part after that it is the same pattern just with different chords.
