Pop Punk Guitar

Pop punk guitar is all about power chords, palm muting and tempo. The chord progressions are simple (often I-V-vi-IV variations) but played at breakneck speed. Many pop punk songs also feature clean arpeggiated intros that contrast with the distorted verses.

American Idiot is a high-energy riff that's great for practicing fast power chord changes. I Miss You shows the softer, acoustic side of the genre.
