Notes
Studio recording, 1992-1993 (Blood Sugar Sex Magik/Soul to Squeeze sessions). No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; amp is clean with reverb. Frusciante used this Strat and Twin Reverb for clean/funky tones on BSSM-era tracks.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate-level funk rhythm technique, precise muting, and dynamic control to achieve the percussive, clean sound characteristic of Frusciante's playing.
