Notes

Studio recording, Stadium Arcadium sessions (2005-2006). Frusciante is confirmed to have used his vintage Stratocasters and Marshall Silver Jubilee for solos on this album. No evidence of Telecaster use for this song/solo. Settings and pedals are inferred from era-correct sources and pedalboard photos.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate control of bends, vibrato, and dynamics to achieve Frusciante's expressive, vocal-like phrasing. While not technically fast or complex, the nuance and sustain demand good technique and feel.
