Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: Warlocks
Album: Stadium Arcadium
Tuning: Standard
Tabbed by: Adam Seto
***Note: Although I wrote most of the tab, I still need to give credit to the Hal and
tab book. I only used it for the interlude (It is fricken’ hard to tab it by ear!) and the
on the solo.
Legend:
^ Full bend (the number above means the number of steps you bend up)
x Muffled strings
() Note is made by releasing a bend without picking
/\ Shift slide (the second note is picked after slide)
<> Legato slide (the second note is not picked after slide)
