Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication Submitted By: David EMail: chickenlunch@ntlworld.com Let's face it, the attempts so far are fairly pathetic. Below you will find how John Frusciante actually plays Californication; no crappy second guitar parts, this is it. The only time you will EVER need a second guitar on this song is when the solo ends, but if you ever want to perform this song live, either just miss out the first two bars over the verse, or just do the JF thing of improvising a solo. The choice..............is yours. A Bit of free advice there, use it wisely.
