Notes
Studio recording for 'Not the One' (2021/2022), Unlimited Love album. Frusciante confirmed use of vintage Strats and Marshall Silver Jubilee for most tones on this record. Pickup choice for riff is neck position, per interview and tone analysis.

The riff requires a gentle touch and dynamic control, with clean chord voicings and subtle embellishments, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast playing.
