Standard Tuning
I really like the Intro riff that John Frusciante plays. The riff that I have included here is a little less complicated rhythm-wise so it’s easier to play. I’ll upload a more correct Intro tab later for those of you that want to play it exactly like John. I find that when we play a riff with the signature rhythms and they sound really close to the original that no one really makes a big deal out of it except hard core RHCP and John Fruciante fans. Like, one person in 10,000. Everyone else enjoys the song and has a great time.
