Green Day: Rock Band Master FC Breakdown: Phase 3 Q24

[Ketchupyoshi]

I think Geek Stink Breath is the easiest one here. Some of the chord changes are a bit strange, but the song overall is much slower than most of the other choices and there's nothing too unpredictable in the chart.

Geek Stink Breath wins, moving on.

Question 24: Which of these songs is easiest to FC on expert guitar?

Basket Case
Burnout
Give Me Novacaine/She's A Rebel
Homecoming
Murder City
The Static Age
Welcome to Paradise

Songs are getting a lot closer together, I think we're getting into that "Dookie is all kinda the same" part of the list.

probably between burnout and murder city at this point

Murder City has the two solos which aren't too hard, but nothing else in the game has this kind of riff before

Honestly if you've gotten all the other fast punk songs off Dookie at this point, Burnout is no different. I'd say its far easier than Basket Case too because Burnout is about half as long with much less variety, and imo the gallop chords are a lot more straightforward in Burnout (e.g. the choruses and bridge/outro are all identical) while Basket Case is much more random (sometimes a chord change will have a gallop, other times it won't)

Give Me Novacaine is easy AF, but she's a rebel is pretty annoying with all the gallops in the main riff. The Static Age solo is enough to keep it off here for a while. Welcome to Paradise lol no.

I'd say Burnout but I think Murder City is a close second

so I got GDRB today and got a Dookie FAFC pretty quickly. Aside from the 2-3 songs they are almost all very similar with most of the hard parts being gallop chords, but I'll attempt to do an album FC breakdown in my opinion.

1. When I Come Around (nothing hard)
2. Pulling Teeth (slow, easy solo)
3. Coming Clean (really short, solo isn't hard, only gallops are in chorus which is a GR to GY chord change)
4. Longview (the beginning of each chorus is triplets, still easy to downstrum though and that's the only notable part of the song, no surprises)
5. In the End (faster paced but really straightforward, only two parts to learn a verse and chorus, strumming at the end of the bridge isn't that bad and the song is super short so missing isn't really an issue, also no chord gallops)
6. Emenius Sleepus (end of the bridge is tricky with a gallop/strumming fill, but its the only hard part of the song, plus its super short)
7. She (every chord change in the chorus and bridge has a gallop, with that in mind there are really no surprises since theres about two chord progressions total and you know each chord change has a gallop)
8. F.O.D. (gallops in the first half are pretty random, chord change in the second half is awkward)
9. Sassafrass Roots (not too fast and not too many gallops, but most of them are at the end and theres a yellow burst that's pretty chokable 10 seconds from the end that will catch you off guard)
10. Burnout (fast paced, lots of gallops everywhere, but pretty short and the drum solo is a nice little break)
11. Having a Blast (see Burnout, but slightly longer and no breaks)
12. Welcome to Paradise (fair amount of variety, plenty of gallops, bridge is all forced strums and the end of the bridge will throw you off if you aren't ready for it)
13. Basket Case (decent amount of variety, weird outro, gallop chords feel more random here than any other song e.g. no consistency between verses/choruses/etc.)
14. Chump (obvious hardest, outro A is the hardest section on the album)

To be honest though I could see a lot of people having very different lists because 3-12 are all pretty close in difficulty tbh

I haven't decided yet, but it's between Basket Case, Burnout and Murder City for me.

Basket Case: Most variety, some small tempo fluctuations, BPM usually around 175.

Burnout: Fastest, several significant tempo fluctuations, BPM usually around 185.

Murder City: Possibly chokable solo, no tempo fluctuations, BPM at a steady 182.

I'll look back over the charts and make a final decision later.

After looking back over the charts, I'm going with Murder City. The only relatively hard part is transitioning into the solo and the solo isn't too bad if you can do everything else. Basket Case and Burnout both have chokable outros, but I think the strange patterns in Basket Case are slightly harder than the insane tempo fluctuations in Burnout. My order for the rest of the songs is a complete guess right now.

Murder City<Burnout<Basket Case<Give Me Novacaine/She's A Rebel<The Static Age<Homecoming<Welcome to Paradise
