https://youtu.be/JNt_xwuVl_k Easy Ukulele Songs - Time of Your Life Here's a nice easy version of 'Time of Your Life- Good Riddance' by Green Day. Jenny transposed it to C to make it lie better on the ukulele for the ukulele beginner.
It has a slightly complicated strumming pattern : down | down up | up down up. You can learn the pattern in another of our videos, "Learn Strumming Patterns with Jenny Peters" at https://youtu.be/0wLKsfhVN9Y?list=PL5meDCz5zO-DD1mcV8_t_tuga9MzOJA46.
Billie Joe Armstrong wrote "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" in 1990. But he didn't show the song to his bandmates until they were recording the album "Dookie" in 1993. Green Day decided that "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" was too different from the other songs on"Dookie" so they didn't use the song.
When Green Day began to record the album "Nimrod", Billie Joe Armstrong decided to use the song, and the band's producer Rob Cavallo suggested they add strings to the track. He sent the band to play foosball in another room while he recorded the strings, which took "like fifteen, twenty minutes, maybe a half an hour at the most." Cavallo reflected on his decision to add the strings "I knew we had done the right thing. It was a hit the second I heard it."
Band member Mike Dirnt says that the release of this song was probably the "most punk" thing they could have done. The song is more commonly promoted on the radio as "Time of Your Life", and it became a Billboard Country Rock chart-topper and an international hit, and was the only song from "Nimrod" that was a crossover success when released in single form.[6] Although "Time of Your Life - Good Riddance" was not issued as a physical single at the time of its original release in the United States, the song sold over 2.6 million copies as a digital download in the US. It's also certified Gold in the United Kingdom.
