This is from their live DVD ‘Off The Map’. That bit where John
goes mental – can’t do it. But here is the basics of it.
E|—————————————————————————||
B|—————————————————————————||
G|—————————————————————————||
D|———————————3—————————————–||
A|—3–3-5——————-3——-5–3———————————–||
E|-5–5——x-x–x-x-x-x—5—5————-x-x-x-x-x———————-||
E|—————————————————————————||

G|—————————————————————————||
D|—————————————–3———————————||
A|——3—–3–5——————-3–5—–5–3—————————||
E|—5—–5———1—3—–3-4-5—————————————–||
This is the main riff, and is the same on bass. In between the riffy bits, just
play little funk fills, favourites including the slide down of:
E|—————————————————————————||
B|—————————————————————————||
G|—————————————————————————||
D|–12————————————————————————-||
A|–13————————————————————————||
E|—————————————————————————||
or little in-key twiddles:
E|—————————————————————————||
B|—————————————————————————||
G|–7—5———————————————————————-||
D|———————-5–7–5————————————————-||
A|—————————————————————————||
E|—————————————————————————||
or simply rest your fingers over the fretboard without hitting notes and strum funkily,
but this is better with a wa-wa pedal, as is the rest of the song. Anyway, Frusciante
quickly sets off in the song to play a couple octaves higher:
E|———————-10——————————–13–10————-||
B|–10—13——10–13———–x-x-x-x–x—10–13-10———-13———||
G|—————————————————————————||
D|—————————————————————————||
A|—————————————————————————||
E|—————————————————————————||
E|———————10———————–13–10———————–||
B|–10–13—10—-13—————10–13–10———-13——————-||
G|—————————————————————————||
D|—————————xxxxx——————————————-||
A|—————————————————————————||
E|—————————————————————————||
E|——————–10—————————–13–10——————||
B|–10–13–10—13————————–11–13———-13————–||
G|———————–10–12—-12-13-14———————————-||
D|—————————————————————————||
A|—————————————————————————||
E|—————————————————————————||
this is a really easy song to play, and with a bit of wah-wah sounds really classy.
I’ve fooled people into thinking i’m good.
