    Gear I use:
    Guitar: changes by the video. i use a lot of fender, and gibson. but feel free to ask specifics.
    Pickups: all of my guitars use different pickups depending on what suits them but i will say Bare Knuckle Pickups are my favorite and preferred brand. feel free to ask specifics
    Amps: Fractal AxeFX 2 for the guitar tone on my covers, lessons, and original music . i almost always use Orange AD30 presets but sometimes some Friedman, Soldano and others sneak in.. i dont typically use real amps anymore. certainly not in my videos just for convenience.
    Strings: 9-46 are my main string gauge for fenders. i'll use 10-52 on Gibsons typically. i tend to flip flop between Ernie Ball and D'addario.
    Picks: i tend to use .73mm Tortex but i'll use .60mm for faster strumming songs or for Bass guitar.
    DAW: Reaper for all my recording software.

      See, I thought the exact opposite. Billies earlier style was pentatonic and messy. This didn't sound like that at all. This sounds more like a solo from an Avril Lavigne song.

      @@Giablo1 I disagree. I linked a perfect example of Billie's style from a song off Kerplunk. If Basket Case had a solo it would have been written in 1993, not in modern day so staying true to the title of this video would mean only stylizing it after what Green Day music was released at the time of Dookie.

      At the time, it just the trio. So Billie was handling guitar all by himself and singing. This meant that if they put solos in the songs that were played over a rhythm guitar part, Billie wouldn't be able to play it live without it all sounding empty because he was the only guitarist. That's why you don't really hear solos in their music much until Jason white was recruited around the nimrod era in 1997.

    GREAT SOLO!
    It would be so cool that a member of Green Day see this video and invite you to play with them on stage during their next tour!
    In the past, they invited someone in the crowd to play or sing with them on Know Your Enemy, Jesus of Suburbia or Longview...
    So, Why not you? You would bring something unique on the table!
    For catching the attention of Green Day, maybe we should organize something... like (idk/ for example) sending a link of this video in the comment of one of their post on Facebook/t
    Twitter or Instagram!
    Maybe i am just dreaming... ;)
