“Basket Case” is one of Green Day’s most revered songs, and was released on August 1, 1994, as the second single from the band’s third studio album, Dookie.
The song was very successful, especially for a relatively unknown band. “Basket Case” was ranked number 150 in Rolling Stone‘s updated list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. Today, we’re going to learn to sing and play the “Basket Case” chords in an effective and fun way thanks to the Roadie Coach app.
To start
Once you choose “Basket Case” from the Roadie Coach app, you are ready to get started. A good place to begin is by playing the first few chords.
One of the great advantages of this app is that it listens to you play via its microphone and delivers you useful feedback that identifies the spots that you need to work on. You can use this app with both iOS and Android, so it’s convenient.
“Basket Case” Chords
After you pick “Basket Case” on Roadie Coach choose the first mode: “Discover”. Here you will get help with the chords and the structure or form song itself.
Make sure to follow this chord progression while playing: Eb, Bb, Cm, Gm, Ab, Eb, Bb, Bb. You can also check out the snippet below from the Roadie Coach app.
Another good mode to work with is “Practice”. In this mode, you can work on the strumming once you have a good grip on the chords. The third mode is called “Perform”.

There is a very useful feature named “I need help” on Roadie Coach. Here you will get precise details on how to play any given chord. You can go at your speed here, whether that is many chords at once, or one by one.
Strumming
Go to “Practice” mode on the app in order to work on the strumming. “Basket Case” has a relatively simple strumming pattern that should not be too hard to get.
After you play the song, the app will also give you valuable feedback centered around your strumming.
Singing
Roadie Coach can also be of great help for your singing. Just like with chords and strumming, the app will also give you feedback on your singing, so you can improve that area as well, including aspects like tuning and timing.
