My current favourite song is Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day.
The acoustic guitar riff is a perfect setting. Billie Joe's voice is perfect for the lyrics and the mood being set. There are little notes being played, I think on an electric guitar throughout the second half of the first part of the song. There is the first verse and then the drums kick in form Tre Cool. Then the same riff is played by an electric guitar and then the power chords kick in. C - Cm - G5. The continued whitch from acoustic to electric in the song is quite cool. Some of the lyrics iin this song are really cool in my view. I particuluarly love the lines "Here Comes the rain again, falling from the stars" and "As my memory rests, but never forgets what I lost". Anyway the song goes on and then there is a real simple, easy guitar solo to play but it just sounds great. Solo finishes and the main riff is played on the acousitc with some notes being played on the electric guitar. Song ends with Billie Joe singing "Wake me up, when September ends".
