Notes

Studio recording, 1998-1999 (Californication sessions). Guitar is a Stratocaster in position 1 (bridge pickup), amp is a Fender Princeton Reverb. No evidence of Marshall or Showman on this track for the solo. Pedal use is minimal and focused on light overdrive/boost. Settings and effects are for the original studio recording, not live versions.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, expressive bends, and dynamic control, but does not involve fast runs or advanced techniques.
