Warlocks tab by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tabs

Artist:  Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song:   Warlocks
Album:   Stadium Arcadium
Tuning:  Standard
Tabbed by: Adam Seto

***Note: Although I wrote most of the tab, I still need to give credit to the Hal and
tab book. I only used it for the interlude (It is fricken' hard to tab it by ear!) and the
on the solo.

🏷Legend:

^  Full bend (the number above means the number of steps you bend up)
x  Muffled strings
()  Note is made by releasing a bend without picking
/  Shift slide (the second note is picked after slide)
  Legato slide (the second note is not picked after slide)
