Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 (Stadium Arcadium sessions). Frusciante replaced his usual Marshall Super Bass with the Silver Jubilee for this album. The riff section is the focus; not the clean intro. No evidence of additional amps blended for the distorted riff. Pickup and amp details confirmed by multiple sources.

Difficulty

The riff is technically demanding due to its rapid tempo, intricate picking and legato patterns, and the need for clean articulation at speed. It requires advanced coordination and stamina.
