By The Way
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Tabbed by pIRHANA
Tips - Never use a pick, never ever, never never never never never!
Such a restraint on what you can do on the bass if you use a pick.
- Try slapping and pulling on the chant, more fun and looks better :-)
- I still love the chili's but it makes me sad they have gone away from the
fast paced crazy funk from the 80's and awesomness of one hot minute and
blood sex sugar magik. You must all go buy freaky styley!

Some variations missing that i cant be bothered tabbing out so just work em' out
or better still, just improvise. Enjoy and forget rock and punk, listen to jazz and funk!
