In this video
Here's how to play 3 songs by Green Day with just 3 chords on guitar! These songs feature various chords, but only 3 in any given song.
Song 1 - Warning
'Warning' from the album of the same name uses just the chords A, D and G; plus features a couple of simple riffs.
As a workaround solution to song copyright issues, chord sheet buttons link to the Ultimate Guitar website. Simply copy and paste chord sheet from this into a word document or similar to print off these chord sheets and edit then as you wish! Please do this on a computer to do this for free, the UG app tries to charge you, but on desktop it's free :) Click 'simply' on UG website to see chord sheets with basic chords that match the tutorial video above.
