Venice Queen Tab

Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Title: Venice Queen Album: By the Way Equipment: John Frusciante plays a Fender Strat into a clean Marshall amp. For the break, he uses a steel-string dreadnaught acoustic. Legend: p - pull off h - hammer on ~ - vibrato To get those high pitched notes at the beginning, turn the volume knob down and play, then increase the volume so it fades in. Add some delay and reverb to add to the spaciness.
