These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the original song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!
This RHCP song has been done by request. I wasn't that familiar with it and my playthrough is a little bit sloppy as I was just sight-reading it as I played!
This song shouldn't provide too many difficulties for beginner players outside of the intro and outro which uses a C#m/G# chord. Strangely, John Frusciante chooses to use an odd muddy-sounding variation of the chord. You could play a standard C#m barre chord at the 4th fret and still get a nice sound.
The strumming is fairly funky. Try to get the chords down before worrying too much about it.
