Some forms of punk rock music (like most of Blink 182's songs) are ideal for new guitar players since they are so uncomplicated. This song consist of the G, C and F power chords played in quick succession and is also a good number to use when you want practice your palm muting.
Listen to the original to know what the desired effect is. If you have a distortion effects pedal (or an amp with built in effects) fine tune your sound and try to get it as close to Blink's sound as possible.
