xTRANSCENDING -Red Hot Chili Peppers- Lyrics & Music: Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Dave Navarro, Chad Smith From The Album: One Hot Minute (1995) Tabbed by Linus Olsson ([email protected]) I searched through the net and saw that there was no guitar tab on my favourite RHCP song "Transcending", so here goes! Tab key: / = Quick slide up \ = Quick slide down XbY = Bend note X to make it sound like note Y r = Release bend h = Hammer on () = Very faint note (ghost note) x = Muted string ~ = Vibrate note using the twang bar s = A very slow slide made by moving the twang bar straight down/up MAIN RIFF: ========== This riff plays on the verses and the refrain. e:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G:--9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-14-14-14-14-9-9-9-- D:--9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-14-14-14-14-9-9-9-- A:--7/9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-\7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7/9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--12-12-12-12-7-7-7-- E:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G:--9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11---------9-9-9-- D:--9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-- A:--7/9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-\7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7/9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-9-9-9-7-7-7-- E:--------------------------------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-------- SECOND/FOURTH VERSE GUITAR FILL: ================================ e:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- G:--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9\8-8-8-8b9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9r8-8-9-8-8-8h9--- D:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E:----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G:--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11\9-9-9-9\8-8-8-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---------------------- D:-----------------------------------------------------------11-11-11-11-9-9-9-9-- A:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUITAR INTERLUDE: ================= e:-------------------------------------------------------------- B:-------------------------------------------------------------- G:----------9h11------------------------------------------------ D:-----9h11------9h11--9----7-------------7---------9-7--------- A:--9-------------------------9--------9----------9------9-7---- E:------------------------------9---7---------7h9------------7-- BRIDGE: ======= e:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B:--------------9----9--11--9--9---9-9--9------------------9--9-9--9--11--9--9--- G:--8--8--8h11----11----------------------11------8--8--8------------------------ D:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E:------------------------------------------------------------------------------- e:----------------------------------------------------------- B:--9-9--9-9-------------------9--9-9--9--11--9--9--9-9--9--- G:-----------(11)-----8--8--8------------------------------x- D:----------------------------------------------------------- A:----------------------------------------------------------- E:----------------------------------------------------------- e:------------------------------------------------------ B:------------------------------------------------------ G:--8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8-8----8--8-8--8-9--9-9--9-9-9-- (Play this part D:------------------------------------------------------ 3 times) A:------------------------------------------------------ E:------------------------------------------------------ e:------------------------------------------- B:------------------------------------------- G:--11--11-11--11-11--11-11---11-11-11-11---- (Play this part D:------------------------------------------- twice) A:------------------------------------------- E:------------------------------------------- e:------------------------------------------- B:--14--14-14--14-14--14-14----14-14-14-14--- G:--11--11-11--11-11--11-11----11-11-11-11--- (Play this part D:------------------------------------------- twice) A:------------------------------------------- E:------------------------------------------- ENDING: ======= I'm very unsure about this part.

If you find a more correct solution, then mail me. Also, I haven't written the timing in this tab, so play along with the CD to get the rythm. TECHNICAL INFORMATION: I think Dave Navarro uses a clean guitar sound with no distortion and a delay effect added. You can hear the delay effect very clearly on the guitar fill and the bridge. Near the ending he uses some sort of a waah-waah effect. Enjoy! For comments, corrections, questions, requests etc. Mail to: [email protected]
