Possibly the most famous song ever written by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics to this song in hopes of expressing his loneliness and dependency on narcotics. He discussed how he often bought his drugs "under a bridge". Kiedis was initially reluctant to place the song on "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," stating that the feeling and emotion didn't match the other songs on the album. John Frusciante eventually helped write the guitar part for the song.
I learned how to play this song my 2nd year of college I believe. My friend Jerry taught me it, and it is something I'm really proud of. It consists of four unique guitar phrases. It took a lot of dedication and practice, and I still can't really play it perfect.
I figure it would be a fun song to teach to someone though.
