Dont Forget Me

Ok, this Song has beened tabbed correctly before so I just wanna show ya
some lil thing about the solo. I heard John talking about it in an
interview. He said sometimes stuff he plays doesnt make sense at all
without Fleas bass. He played this solo as an example. Its only 3 tones.
Its like this:

Am F
e |----5--3--0--|-5--3--0--0--|
b |-------------|-------------|
G |-------------|-------------|
D |-------------|-------------|
A |-------------|-------------|
E |-------------|-------------|

C G
e |----5--3--0--|-5---3---0--|
b |-------------|------------|
G |-------------|------------|
D |-------------|------------|
A |-------------|------------|
E |-------------|------------|

Ok, the song has the chords Am F C G throughout the whole song. Now John
took a guitar in the interview and played the solo and added the bass tones.
Like this:

Am F
e |-----------------|-----------------|
b |-----10---8------|-10---8----------|
G |--------------9--|----------9---9--|
D |-----------------|-----------------|
A |--0--------------|--8--------------|
E |-----------------|-----------------|

C G
e |-----------------|-----------------|
b |-----10---8------|-10-----8--------|
G |--------------9--|--------------9--|
D |-----------------|-----------------|
A |-----------------|-10--------------|
E |--8--------------|-----------------|

Try playing it like this. Pick it with your fingers and leave away the
delay. It sounds awesome. It shows how great John and Flea work together. I
LOVE THEM!!!
John said: "I think people who dont play an instrument a lot of their time
have this idea that a melody is just the main thing in a song, but without
the chords that go beneath the melody the melody is nothing. Its like a
bunch of flesh and skin running around without a skeleton."
