My instructor taught me to play Blvd of Broken Dreams by Greenday the very first time i walked in there and it was a piece of cake. This tab is for the verses obviously, try it out, this song is slow so you should be able to handle it!

Verses
e l--------------------------------------l
B l--------------------------------------l
G l---------------8--8-------------------l X8
D l-1-1---4--4---8--8--8-8--------------l
A l-1-1---4--4---6--6--8-8--------------l
E l-3-3---6--6----------6-6-------------l

Just to make sure some people were saying thats their fingers couldn't get around these chords. But is this tab right? I learnt this song as all powerchords for the verse which was

This is very easy to play - for absoloute beginners;

e l---
B l---
G l---
D l-3- = Little Finger
A l-3- = Ring Finger
E l-1- = Index Finger

This is the way I play powerchords and how most of the people I know play them. From doing it this way its then very easy to learn some barre chords etc just flatten your index finger across the fretboard

e l-1
B l-1
G l-1
D l-3
A l-3
E l-1

which would give you an F minor chord.

This is quite a good place to learn some barre chords :)

And yeah blink 182 stuff is really cool to play when your learning because you can start out with their easy stuff such as whats my age again and then move onto stuff a little bit more 'challenging' such as boring from the dude ranch album which uses quick single notes, barre chords, power chords, palm muting etc. Its a band that I used to learn with, its fun to play and it doesn't de-motivate a beginner as its not too hard to play.
