In the original recording of ‘Time of Your Life’, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong shows himself to be a sublime singer, songwriter and guitarist.

This classic song is really best suited to an acoustic guitar but we’ve arranged the first section of the song so you can play it on electric.

This section of the song involves strumming the chords G C D and Em. It would be unrealistic at this stage of your learning to try to copy the strumming on Billy Joe’s original so the strumming you see on the video is a simplified version (which is still pretty tricky). As you become more accomplished you can revisit this song and try to get closer to the original.

There’s no band to practise with on this song, so you’ll have a slow version of the guitar part on its own to rehearse with and the song full speed with and without the guitar.
