This song gets me amped! Probably the most technically difficult bassline on californication,
its got crazy fast driving fingerstyle, a funky chorus and a wicked slappin bridge
Intro/interlude/outro
with wah/wah
only the guitar plays the intro, but its the same like that the bass joins in on in the interlude
and outro
repeat this measure a few times while kiedis is goin "get on TOP!"

There you have it, all the pieces anyway, shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out the
order
