i've been trying to cover blackeyed blonde by RHCP and was using this video to guide me

what i don't understand is how he gets the popping noise playing regular fingerstyle? does anyone know?

Hardddd attack with the right hand

[willg95]

must be in the bass, because if i attack it hard it flaps out and no popping noise whatsoever

It's a combination of technique, EQ and strings really. He plays quite hard, has a lot of "top end" in his EQ and his strings are quite bright.
