Video Transcript

"JOE WILES: We're going to take a look at number 48 on our top 80 most downloaded guitar tabs on the internet and it is "Brain Stew" by Green Day. Let's start the song by dropping our low E string to a drop D tuning. Hit your low E, then hit your D string, and drop the tuning peg until they match. It sounds like this. We're going to begin on the 6th fret. Pad all three lowest strings, okay? Go down on to the 4th fret, 3rd, 2nd, 1st, okay, and then again at 6th, 4, 3, 2, 1. That riff repeats all the way through the verse. So it's a really easy song, okay. In our next segment, we're going to talk about number 47 which is Eric Clapton's acoustic song "Layla." See you there."
