Storm in a Teacup
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Stadium Arcadium
This is my first tab so please give me some feedback. Thanks!
Standard Tuning
Intro: Frusciante plays this by strumming all the way through, muting the
other strings and only hitting D, the way he plays Cant Stop,
(There are no hammer-ons or pull-offs, he strums every note).
