Album: By the way
Bassist: Flea
Tabbed by Marcos Prieto (marcrow_ps@yahoo.es)
Notation legend:
\ | /
3 -> triplet, 3 notes in 2 beats.
x -> mute.
\ -> slide up. \ It can be after or before the note, like 1h3,
/ -> slide down. | but if there's no enought space it can be
h -> hammer on. | over or down, like G|-13-...
p -> pull off. / D|--h-...
~ -> let ring.
r -> rest.
S -> slap.
P -> pop.
+ + -> the rhythm of the song, generally 4x4. If there are 2 digits notes
or there's no enough space, I lengthen it,
from (+ + ...) to (+ · + · ...)
|·------·| -> repeat this a number of times, for example |·3-3-3-3·| x4
repeats 3-3-3-3 four times.
Listen attentivement to the beginning of the song, where only sounds
the bass, you can hear an 'A', but with different sound, that's
because Flea plays the A alternating the chord E (5th position) and A
(0 position).
The notes in the Intro and the Verse are 16th, so remember cut it.
