Red Hot Chili Peppers
The understated mixing of the guitar in this track makes it easy to miss how tricky it is.
The main riff of the song mixes a triplet grouping into each chord.
It's a fast pattern that doesn't let up at all, and it repeats ten times, running for about 90 seconds.
If you want to play it all the way through, you'll need to stay as loose and relaxed as possible. Build the speed first, then work on getting comfortable keeping the riff up for long stretches without introducing any unnecessary tension into your body.
See if you can identify the chords being used here, there are Inversions in play, but just remember that they always come back to a CAGED shape. If you still can't work it out, try naming each note and building a chord that way.
This is a really wide interval to hit with a pick - so we incorporate some hybrid picking here. Use your pick to hit the bass notes and hit the notes with whatever finger feels most comfortable on your right hand.
It will take some time to build up to this speed, especially if this is your first time hybrid picking.
The chorus is still fast, but it's a break compared to the difficulty of the other sections.
Use the string noise sections to prepare for the next chord in the progression.
And that's it! All 3 parts repeat again, and then the song ends on an extended jam building off the chorus.
