The melody of Dark Necessities by Red Hot Chili Peppers runs 324 notes across 33 bars, 3:57 long in Fm at 92 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
