Parallel Universe - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Bass and Guitar cover)

Parallel Universe is a great song to practice alternate picking while slightly palm muting the strings. I used my Telecaster because the tone is a bit thicker than a Stratocaster which works great for single notes like in this song. At the end of the song I play the solo that John played on the Slane live DVD.

This was probably the first time I heard Flea play with a pick!

Thank you Arie Goossens for lending me your Modulus bass! Be sure to check out his RHCP tribute band Californicated! www.californicatedband.com
