californiacation intro

hey all u musical guys out there

i've searched alot on google for the red hot chilli peppers californiacation intro tab but cant find it. i'm not reffering to the normal intro but the one they played at slain castle like on the dvd (rhcp live at slain castle).....

i've just joined a band and californiacation is gonna be our first song we play and i love the intro so we want to include that so if anyone knows of the tab or a good site with it please reply.

tia

ps. for guitar and bass(if you can find it but if u cant dont worry)

You don't need the tabs! Just sit down with the DVD and your guitar and work it out. If you don't get it quite right, the punters will never know and you can tell them it's your interpretation if they do.

they dont concentrate on the actual guitar... they show like a whole body and backgroung shot nd his standing side on...so it'll be really hard to figure it out... i'll try listening and experimenting if i cant find any thing else

What is that link?, I read music but I can't understand that.
Looks like a adaption of tablature but can't really figure what it's trying to say.

There will be a key for it somewhere. 'h' usually means hammer, I can't remember what p is. So 0h2p0 on D would mean open D, hammer 2nd fret, p whatever to open D again.

Thanks, I was sort of on track, bit like identifying harmonics and artificial harmonics, some people wonder what they are when they see them.

I know I would - I'm only a drummer :p

Sorry, I thought you played guitar, harmonics and artificials show on the score as a diamond shape rather than the familiar oval, for memory the artificial has the 'stick' on the opposite side.
There are some very complex catalan pieces played entirely in artificial harmonic, designed to give grief to the player I think, I watched Julian Bream come unstuck with it once.
If he has trouble what hope have I got.

No need to be sorry, drummers get all the chicks :D

I do (did) play but not anywhere near your level. One of my many regrets is never taking lessons. As I told my wife the other day (after I'd had a frustrating day in the shed), I'm mediocre at many things but not really good at anything.

I think I could have been a good guitar player because I have long fingers and good dexterity (although that's on the decline) plus a good ear - but I'm one of those people who never gets around to working out what they want to do in life ;)

Only because they don't have to go to rehearsals. :p Just hit the play button on the machine and no-one knows the difference. :rolleyes: Its a statistical fact that drummers also get the clap more often than hard working real musicians (guitarists) :eek: :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I think P means "pull off". ie hammer on then "pull off".

It means pull your finger off the string....

Only because of the copious amounts of sweat that oversexed drummers exhude. Shorts out the fenders the hard working real musos play. :D

Sweaty job all right. I used to play regularly at The Tom Tom Club in Sydney (used to be called Kardomah Cafe). They had a bank of four white floods at the back of the stage directly above the drum riser. I used to play in a singlet and I swear I could feel the skin on my shoulders crackling when they turned them on. I used to lose a kilo every gig.

It's not only drummers that make a mess though. Last year at a gig the bass player decided to open his bottle of mineral water between numbers. Of course some idiot had shaken it up and he was facing me. Sprayed sticky crap all over the kit and his spare guitar. Hi hats are still a bit sticky to this day...

LOL. yeah, been there done that. With bloody beer though.:eek:

I found a music pyramid the other day: Here it is in order of complexity from lowest to highest::rolleyes:
1. Dead
2. talentless
3. bass player (aka pot head)
4. drummer (aka chick magnet)
5. kalimba player
6. tambourine player (aka hippy chick)
7. Kazoo artiste
8. dentist (aka Nazi)
9. trumpet player
10. bagpiper
11. hurdy gurdy player
12. blues harp
13. brain surgeon
14. Pilot
15. Lead singer
16. Lead guitarist
17. Rhythm guitarist
The order of the last 3 depend on my mood. :D

Looks about right except I would dispute putting the lead singer anywhere near the top. :p

Wheres mine, I used to have a following when I played lute, 21 strings and everyone thought it was great, of course you never tell anyone it's easier to play than guitar, bugger to tune though.
I was single too, that changed:o

There is a quote about bad paintings which I can't recall but along the line of 'They should have hung the artist, not the painting'.
I also detest people who have an instrument that clearly is beyond their scope and have the audacity to boast that they have never had a lesson in their life.
My brother tormenting a violin for a year springs to mind.
