Suck My Kiss
By The Red Hot Chili Peppers,
from the album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"
Standard Tuning
And this is one hundred percent correct, I worked out some, but learned bits like
the solo from a friend who has a friend who owns the book. So there.
/ = slide
^ = bend (the fraction beside the bend symbol determines the size of the bend).
r = release bend

Solo:
I shall tab the solo in bars, to make it easier to learn a bit at
a time and to keep to the beat. Each new tab thingy is a bar
unless a *** is present at the end of a tab thingy..

A second guitar plays the main solo:
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[-15h17p15p0-0-0-0-0-15h17p15p0-0-0-0-0-15h17p15p0-0-0----------]

[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
At this point another guitar comes in.
2nd guitar (the one that played the above solo)
[-10-------10-------10-10-------10-10------10-10-------10-------]***
[-11^(1/4)-11^(1/4)----11^(1/4)----11(1/4)----11^(1/4)----------]

[---------------------------------------------------------------]

[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[-10-------10-12p10-10-------10---------------------------------]
[-11^(1/4)----------11^(1/4)------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
3rd guitar
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[-------10^(1/2)r----------10^(1/2)r----------10^(1/2)r$--------]
[-10/12-----------12/10/12-----------12/10/12-------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
The r$ means that you release the bend at the beginning of the next bar.
2nd guitar
[-10-------10-------10-10-------10-10------10-10-------10-------]***

[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
And repeat those two bars again for guitar 3 while guitar 2 does this:
Guitar 2
[-10-------10-------10-10-------10-10-------10-10-10-10-10-10---]***
[-11^(1/4)-11^(1/4)----11^(1/4)----11^(1/4)-11-11-11-11-11-11---]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]

[-11-11-11-13-13-13-13-15-15-15-15------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[-13-13-13-13-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-17-17-17-17---]***
[-15-15-15-15-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-19-19-19-19---]

[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
[---------------------------------------------------------------]
Both guitars should end soloing on the same bar!
And then finally there is a Coda:
[-----------------3-2--3-2--------------------------------------]
[-2-2-------------3-3--3-3--------2-2---------------------------]
[-2-2-------1-1---4-2--4-2--------2-2---------------------------]
[-2-2---2---2-2-----0----0--------2-2---------------------------]
[-0-0---2---2-2-------------------0-0---------------------------]
[-------0---0-0---------------0---------------------------------]
There you go! 100% correct! And my friend's just come round
and check it, and he's given it his seal of approval.
Happy Playing.
