"Right On Time" by RHCP

Quick question about this awesome song by the chilis.

I'm wondering if flea "double-taps" the root for the really fast chorus for this song. I know the octave uses sixteenths but I can't tell if its for the root too.

Thanks

Yeah, I think he does, excuse my amateurish tabbing

Yeah that seems about right.
Make sure you start slow if its giving you trouble and just build it up.

The key is (I find) to position your whole hand kind of over all the strings, and rest your thumb ever so gently on whatever it is that your resting it on as not to disrupt your hands movement. I remember when this song came out there were all these rumours that Flea was using some kind of 12321232 finger plucking pattern because there was no way he was using just two fingers, but alas. I'd like to see Jamerson play this one!!
