Just a hint of overdrive in Eb tuning brings out the right amount of grit for this delicate punk anthem. A vocals-only backing track was a special find. It helps to watch my picking hand for a lot of this.
The last chord, the Db at the fifth fret, is without it’s fifth because the open shape just slides up. I didn’t catch that a couple weeks ago and tried playing a barre chord there and it was awkward. I’m glad Billie Joe and I are on the same page with that movable C-shape. I love the descending bass as it goes through and how the Eb on top of most of these adds a crisp sparkle that really sings.
