Notes
Studio recording, 2001-2002 (By The Way album sessions). John Frusciante is confirmed to have used his '62 Strat and Marshall Major/Silver Jubilee amps for the main riff. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the clean riff section.

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, syncopated picking and precise string muting, as well as dynamic control to maintain clean articulation at a brisk tempo.
