Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (Stadium Arcadium). John Frusciante used his main Stratocaster and Marshall Major for the solo. Pedalboard evidence from the era confirms fuzz/distortion pedals and boost in use. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, especially expressive bends and dynamic control to achieve the singing sustain and phrasing. While not technically fast, the tone and feel demand precision and touch.
