Song: Otherside Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Album: Californication Played by: Flea tabbed by redhotfred; bass player of the blue tit mice (darkandblue@hotmail.com) It’s not such a difficult song, the hardest thing is to remember every variation. The first times you play it you can try using the intro throughout all the choruses. Once you get a grip of this, include all the variations step by step. h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend string up r - release bend / - slide up \ - slide down v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~) t - right hand tap x - play 'note' with heavy damping (signs placed before note) Don’t get confused by the guitar part during the chorus. The bassline is a little different. If you listen very closely you can hear the bass in the background playing this tab simultaneously with the guitar.

But if you listen to the song very precisely, you can hear there are put in a lot of effects by flea. Be aware of bending to hard, only pushing your fret a little harder should already do it.
