Standard Disclaimer:--------------------------------------------
Okay, I finally got my Red Hot's Blood Sugar Sex Magic book back
from my friend so I'm going to post some of the FAQs about it (as
well as some of my other favorite bits). The songbook has the complete
tab for guitar and bass and seems to be of very high quality --
very detailed. Hopefully you will gain a greater appreciation of
John Frusciante's guitar work from it. Some of the earlier stuff
I posted from it was strictly from my memory, so was wrong in places.
I will be correcting those bits as well.

PLEASE NOTE: I will take requests for other bits of it, as well as
lyrics, but I will only respond to those personages who are actually
posting tab on a fairly regular basis. The ratio of tab requests to
actual tab has been pretty pathetic lately, no?

Another note: To assuage my guilty conscience about posting copy-
righted material (and possibly taking money out of the pockets of
one of my favorite bands), let me give the address of the company
who makes it:

Amsco Publications
Music Sales Corporation
225 Park Avenue South
New York, NY 10003

I would certainly encourage any of you to pick up a copy if you get
the chance. And now, on to the music:

------------------------------------------------------------------
UNDER THE BRIDGE

Somebody (Big Toee?) was right again -- UTB starts in the key of D.
This opening for guitar one is listed as 'capoed on the second fret'.

-----------------------------|0--------------------|----------------

That ends the part for the first guitar. In the last measure here the
second guitar chimes in -- this guitar is without the capo, though, so
if you played the above without a capo, you'll have to play this part
down two frets, or the above part up two frets. Here is the second
guitar part, starting at the same time as the vocals:

----------|-------------|---------|---------|
-9--X-7--X|-----9---7--5|9--X-7--X|9--5--X--|
-9--X-8--X|-----9---8--6|9--X-8--X|9--6--X--|

-7--------|9/11---------|7-------X|11-7--X--|
----X-7--X|---------7--5|---X-7--X|9--5--X--|

Basically, do that twice then let this chord ring:

-----
--9--
--8--
--9--
--7--
-----

The chorus is like this:

That's all I have time for now...but I can tell you that the chord
progression goes as follows: E B Bsus4 B C#m G#m A ; E B
Bsus4 B C#m A
etc. -> Emaj7 (note: they're all barre chords - 2nd pos.) etc.

If no one else posts the tab, just ask me to and I'll post the rest when I
get back in a week or so...See Ya'!!

Repeat till Breakdown.
The rest is soft Arpeggiated chords from the Bridge.

I hope this is close to correct.

One note:
as with a lot of John Frusciante(sp?) guitar work, there is
a lot of ad libbing with how much of the chord is played,
as well as muted picking(those percussive X's) and
string noise from sliding you hand to different positions,
so ad lib a bit, and listen to where he throws them in.

Enjoy!
CHUCK
