                      "Parallel Universe"
from: Californication

When I first listened to this song I didn't realize that
that it was the base that you can clearly hear and that
the guitar is palm muting during the most of the song.
So the bass is actually leading the way and the guitar is
palm muting.

The notes are played I believe at 32nd notes so I was not able
to tab out just how many times each not is played  This first
piece of the tab makes up most of the song.
pm= palm mute
\= slide

intro/verse   repeat ? times

I'm not sure what this part is called.  The bass starts then
the guitar comes in  again ? on how many each note is played
it is easy to find out if you just play along with the song

i didn't figure out the solo it sounds like john is playing the same as
the 
verses but with a wah-wah pedal.  Good luck
