Song: Minor Thing Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers Album: By The Way Transcriber: Igor Dedic Yugoslavia E-mail: dedicbis@neobee.net I tabbed out the song the way it goes on the album. I tried to show how to play the chords, but its far from perfect. Youll probably have to listen to the song while you play and figure out the rhytm and the chord playing.
