This song is all about stamina and endurance! It's fast and quite long. It's not your typical verse, chorus type of song. It has lots of weird twists and turns which makes it hard to play without f@cking up! The outro part is kinda unusual because Flea is playing the D double harmonic scale (1-b2-3-4-5-b6-7) while John is using the D Hungarian Minor (1-2-b3-#4-5-b6-7) for his solo on top of that.
I really enjoyed working on this song and I hope you like it too!
