The first guitar, which plays only the intro, has a capo on the second fret. Chord positions are shown above. When guitar two comes in, give it a tiny bit of a disortion, and no capo. Guitar three has normal distortion. The intro, verse 1, and the outro are are played slowly, and verses 2 and 3 are more up to speed. During the verses, keep a good beat for yourself, Frusciante adds mutes between many of the chords. Have fun!!
