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) e|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------__5-------x-x-x-x------------------| A|-7-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-033-------x-x-x-x-5-------x-x-x-x--| E|-5-------x-x-x-x-1-------x-x-x-------------------3-------x-x-x-x--| D|---------------------------------5-------x-x-x-x------------------| A|-7-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-x-5-------x-x---x--| E|-5-------x-x-x-x-1-------x-x-x-x-----------------3-------x-x---x--| D|---------------------------------5-------x-x-x-x------------------| A|-7-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-x-5-------x-x-x-x--| E|-5-------x-x-x-x-1-------x-x-x-x-----------------3-------x-x-x-x--| ENDING: D|------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-7-------x-x-x-x-3-------x-x-x-x----------------------------------| E|-5-------x-x-x-x-1-------x-x-x-x----------------------------------| _____________________________________________________________________________ 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.
