Transcribing Notes From John Neil (Head Transcriber)
Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day – Bowling for Soup – Song Breakdown
Keyboard
There isn’t a keyboard part in this song, so a part was made up loosely following the guitar. I also added in some parts that may be an extra guitar that’s way back in the mix.

Lead Guitar
This is the main guitar that does more of the higher “lead” lines as well as doubling the rhythm guitar for the most part. Lots of power chords! Though a 3rd will sneak in once in a while too.

Rhythm Guitar
This part mainly covers the rhythm parts with many power chords, though (as with the lead guitar), a 3rd will sneak in once in a while too

Strum Guitar
There isn’t an acoustic strum part to this song, so a part was made up to keep you strummin’.

Bass Guitar
A pretty melodic (at times) bass part that sounds like it could be played with a pick.

Drums
An energetic drum part to be played loud. Lots of triplet fills, tom beats, and a section with snare on every beat.
