Caught on the kitchen counter!


Red Hot Chili Peppers from their "Stadium Arcadium" Album 2006

Slow Cheetah or Slow Cheetah

Interesting info from Wiki about RHCP guitarist John Frusciante:

For much of Stadium Arcadium, guitarist John Frusciante experiments with a vast array of synthesized effects. The ghostly outro of “Slow Cheetah” is a clear example of Frusciante’s affinity for psychedelia, and provides a stark contrast to the song’s acoustic beginning. The backwards guitar at the song’s outro is similar to 1991’s “Give It Away”, where Frusciante used the same technique. Both “Slow Cheetah” and “Give It Away” draw heavily from Jimi Hendrix’s guitar technique in “Castles Made of Sand,” as well as from the famous backmasking in the Beatles' song “Tomorrow Never Knows.” The song is in the key of B-flat minor.
