Don't Forget Me - Red Hot Chili Peppers

This song is very strange yet very good. Rhythm parts are clean; 
Lead parts have light distortion, reverb, delay and a wah (kept still).

___= Tie (Only pick the 1st note under a tie, then hammer, pull, slide or 
          bend to the next note)

Where I have used spaces instead of a line (-) between notes, these notes 
are triplets (3 notes in the space of 2)

                            RHYTHM PARTS (These are really on bass)

MAIN RIFF VARIATIONS: (This repeats in different orders all the way through)

_____________________________________________________________________________

                             LEAD PARTS 
         (With Light Distortion, Reverb, Delay, and a Wah pedal)

Keep the wah pedal mostly open for everything apart from start of solo 2.
(C = close wah - foot down, O = open wah - foot up)

Set the delay so that if you play the normal notes here, only the notes 
in brackets are made by the delay:
?|-x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)--x--(x)---|
The notes made by the delay should be as loud as the ones you pick.
