Notes
Studio recording, 2002, By the Way album. Clean section (verses/intro) uses Stratocaster into Marshall Major with minimal gain. Some sources dispute Telecaster vs Strat, but ToneMirror and multiple sources specify Stratocaster for the clean tone. Settings are for studio recording, not live.

Difficulty
The clean section requires intermediate-level funk strumming, tight muting, and dynamic control to achieve the signature percussive, articulate sound. While not technically advanced, the groove and precision are challenging for beginners.
