Slow Cheetah - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Email: grlushington@yahoo.com
Tuning:Standard, capo on the 6th fret
I'm 100% positive that what I have is 100% right, I'm just missing the finger picking
bit when it changes from G to A2 but you can just strum the chords
Em G A2
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------0-------------------|
G|-----------2--------------------0--------------2---------------------------|
D|-----2-------------------0-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------0-------0-------0---------------|
E|--0-----0------0-----3------3-------3--------------------------------------|
C
e|----------------0---------|
B|--------------------------|
G|-------0------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|---3-------3---------3----|
E|--------------------------|
This repeats 4x, then goes to:
e|-------2p0------0----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------3p0------0------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------2p0------0-----------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------0--------0---------------------|
E|--0----------0----------3----------3---------------------------------------|
e|--------------------||-----------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------||-----------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------||-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2p0-----0------||-----------------------------------------------------|
A|---3------3---------||-----------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------||-----------------------------------------------------|
This repeats 2x then goes back to the beginning of the intro.
After the intro is played through, the verse is played twice, but the second time
through the intro, it's played like this:
A2
e|-----2p0-----0----------------------0--------------------------------------|
B|----------------------3p0------0----0--------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------2--------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------2--------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------0--------------------------------------|
E|--0-------0-------3---------3-------0--------------------------------------|
Strum A2 (listen for the strumming pattern) then the chorus is:
C, G, A2
Again, listen for the strumming pattern
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/red_hot_chili_peppers/slow_cheetah_tab_ver_9.html ]
Immediately after the chorus, it goes back into the intro/verse
Listen to the song to get a hang of the repeats, etc, etc
After the first chorus, the intro is played like this:
e|--------------------------------------------------0------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------2-------------------------------------|
G|----------0------------0-------2------------0------------------------------|
D|----2------------0---------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------0-----0------3-----3---------------------------|
E|--0----0------3-----3------------------------------------------------------|
This repeats until the verse, and then play the chorus again
After the chorus, play the intro/verse and then comes the part with the G/A2 finger
picking that I haven't quite gotten, so mess around with it and send me an email if you
think you've got it
This part leads back into the chorus, and then the solo comes in
Solo: This section repeats 3 times...the last note is held
e|-------------------|----------------------------------------------|--------|
B|------9------------|---------8------------------------------------|--------|
G|--8b10--10b8-6-8-6-|6h8-8/10---8-6-8-8-----6h8-6h8-8b10b8-6h8-6-6-|--------|
D|-------------------|-------------------6h8------------------------|--------|
A|-------------------|----------------------------------------------|--------|
E|-------------------|----------------------------------------------|--------|
The last bit starts a little after the solo and plays until the end of the song
Outro:
e|----0-----------------------0-----------------------0----------------------|
B|--3---3---------0----0----3---3---------0----0----3---3--------2----2------|
G|--------0---0-----2----2--------0---0-----2----2--------0---0----0----0----|

Like i said, the outro repeats until the end of the song. Email me if you know the
finger picking part please!
Thanks,
Garrett
