In this Californication guitar lesson, we’re going to dive into this timeless Red Hot Chili Peppers anthem, and break down all the different parts, from the main riff and pre-chorus, to the chorus and of course the solo!
Californication is a great song to learn at any level, but it’s a song I’d especially recommend to beginners, as it’s very fun and satisfying to play.
