Red Hot Chili Peppers - Instrumental #2

This is what I came up with. Keeping in mind FLEA has a brutal finger style
(Can hit notes hard as well as soft. These dynamics play a big part in the
feel). The muted notes are crucial to the feel of the groove. I tried to
include the "important" ones. There are a couple of notes with a ghost mute
above them. I couldn't figure out whether to use the note or mute so I wrote
both.

Please keep in mind I did this very quickly. It was requested so I thought 
I might try and help people out.

It is not 100% accurate but It sounds close enough to me when playing it.
At worst, this will help someone make a better tab.


This is a jam. Learn some of the licks I got right and make up your own.

I'm not going to tab the 3rd variances for three reasons:
1. There isn't MUCH difference once you have the first 2 variances down.
2. It'd be better for you guys to learn them - as a sort-of skill builder.
3. I'm very lazy and I grow weary of this tune.

Feel free to make corrections.
Hope you like it.
