When I Come Around by Green Day

This video guitar lesson is by Matt Brown, guitar instructor at JamPlay.com. Matt shows how to play 'When I Come Around' by Green Day.

 

About the Song:

"When I come Around" is a single from Green Day's hit album "Dookie" released in 1994. It really gained popularity during their performance at Woodstock 1994 (remember, the massive mud fight?).

It is said that Billy Joe Armstrong, Green Day's front man & guitarist, wrote the song after having a fight with Adrienne, his wife. He decided he needed to spend more time alone with her. Apparently the song did the trick because as of 2007, he is still together with her with two songs.

Like most Green Day songs, this one is a piece of cake to play. It is in the key of F# Major (F Sharp Major) & works with the F#5, C#5, D#, and B5 power chords.
