By The Way23 Tabs

(ver. 3)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tuning Guitar in Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Bass in Drop D Tuning (low to high: DADG)

This is how Guitar World says they play this song,
it sounds 100 % accurate to me when my band plays it,
but I still do not think that John plays single notes,
i've seen then play this live and i know he didnt 
play single notes.  Please Rate this!!!
