Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: I Could Have Lied Solos
Tuning: Standard Tuning
If possible use a Boss DS-1 Distortion (as it's what's used in the song
(I think)) with the tone set between 1/2 and 3/4 and the distortion set at 3/4
and a single coil pickup (not sure if it's a bridge or neck pickup but I'd guess
it's a bridge pickup). To get the distorted then clean sounds you need the level on the
pedal up high and the volume on the amp fairly high too.
With these settings you should be able to get a similar tone to that of the song.
Listen to the song and where the sound is more distorted simply pick harder and
when the sound is less distorted/clean pick gently.
Follow the song to get the exact timing and rhythm of the notes.
Notation:
s = slide
bu = bend up
bd = bend down
rpb = re-pick bend
h = hammer
p = pull
(9) = pitch to which a note is bent
*7* = ghost note (a note which can bearly be heard)
x = muted string
^ = rake/arpeggio (drag the pick across the strings with this on)
