Bad Religion — Bored And Extremely Dangerous Acoustic Chords
Artist: Bad Religion
Song: Bored and Extremely Dangerous (acoustic version)
Here's an acoustic rendition of another great Bad Religion song. I can't take
credit for creating this rendition, it was done by a very talented girl on YouTube by the
name of Emily (a.k.a 2hamsters1couple), she does fabulous Bad Religion acoustic
covers. I wanted to learn to play her version of this so I tabbed it out. It's
very easy to play, and lots of fun to sing along to. Good song for working on your
singing—while—playing ability.
Check out her channel if you like this: http://www.youtube.com/user/2hamsters1couple
Play with a quick 4/4 time strum, the good old down—down—up—up—down—up
rhythm works perfectly.
(scrape the strings muted with your fretting hand with a quick up/down up/down
then go right into the song)
