I have played this song several different ways, and I believe I found = the best
way to play it.  Of course, Flea does quick fills, hammer-ons & = pull-offs
that I won't even try to transcribe, but this will get you comfortable
with the song, and you can take it from there.

Thats pretty much it.  Flea has a lot of fills here and there that every
one will improvise to their liking.  The solo above is just the base
notes that I use.  Each measure is played slightly different, but, of
course, that's the beauty of jamming & improvisation!

Enjoy...
