*************************************************************
*         DANI CALIFORNIA - RHCP (STADIUM ARCADIUM)         *
*************************************************************
Tabbed by Will Arnold

(Note. I am also guitariearnie99 - i didnt rob it!!)

I know this is harder to play than some of the other versions of dani that have been tabbed, but is is correct.
The trick on riff 1 is to play the second chord shape as shown:

	E A D G B E
	| | | | | |
	| 1 1 3 4 |
	| | | | | |

where the numbers are the fingers you use (1: index finger etc)
if your still having trouble, ignore the whacks
