Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 (Stadium Arcadium sessions). John Frusciante used his '55 Strat for the clean riff/verse sections, plugged into a Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 head with a Marshall 4x12 cab. No evidence of other guitars or amps for the clean riff in the studio. Settings estimated based on typical Frusciante clean tones and forum consensus for this song/era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated funk strumming and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
