VERSE RIFF
Each verse riff is pretty much the same, except after the last
"9" on the G string, Frusciante plays a different ending
riff for each verse, like the "12p10-12p10" in the intro.
Main Riff:

E:-------------|
B:-12p10-12p10-| You don't have to follow the tab exactly, I like
G:-------------| to improvise and add in some slides to make the
D:-------------| whole thing sound "spiffier". Sometimes Frusciante
A:-------------| plays a "10p8" on the high E after the second slide
E:-------------| from 9 to 10 on the B string.

SOLOS
Each of the solos is easy to play, and sounds really cool.
You CAN play each solo with a metal slide like Frusciante does in the
video, but it isn't necessary, because I don't have a slide,
and it sounds fine.
First solo:
E:----------------------------------------
B:-13\10~---10\8~---8/10-10~---10/12/13~--
G:----------------------------------------
D:----------------------------------------
A:----------------------------------------

Second solo:

B:-15~--15-13-10~--10\8~--13\10~--13\10~------15~--15-13-10~-----
G:---------------------------------------------------------------
D:---------------------------------------------------------------

E:------------------10/--12/-13~--
B:-10-13-8~--13\10~---------------
G:--------------------------------

Third/ outro solo:
