Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Can't Stop is a record that has all kinds of different elements in it. In the verse you play a funky riff, where it is important to pay attention to the damping of the strings around the note you play. The chorus consists entirely of chords with a beat, where you press the thick E string with your thumb. The bridge is a bit reggae-like and is full of triads and then of course there is the guitar solo (which is not very difficult by the way). All in all a great song, which you can learn a lot from.

Lyrics:

Can't stop addicted to the shindig Chop top he says I'm gonna win big Choose not a life of imitation Distant cousin to the reservation

Defunkt the pistol that you pay for This punk the feeling that you stay for In time I want to be your best friend Eastside love is living on the Westend

Knock out but boy you better come to Don't die you know the truth is some do Go write your message on the pavement Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

White heat is screaming in the jungle Complete the motion if you stumble Go ask the dust for any answers Come back strong with 50 belly dancers

The world I love The tears I drop To be part of The wave can't stop Ever wonder if it's all for you The world I love The trains I hop To be part of The wave can't stop

Come and tell me when it's time to

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snow cone So smart she's leading me to ozone Music the great communicator Use two sticks to make it in the nature I'll get you into penetration The gender of a generation The birth of every other nation Worth your weight the gold of meditation This chapter's going to be a close one Smoke rings I know your going to blow one All on a spaceship persevering Use my hands for everything but steering Can't stop the spirits when they need you Moptops are happy when they feed you

J. Butterfly is in the treetop Birds that blow the meaning into bebop

The world I love The tears I drop To be part of The wave can't stop Ever wonder if it's all for you The world I love The trains I hop

To be part of The wave can't stop Come and tell me when it's time to

Wait a minute I'm passing out Win or lose just like you Far more shocking Than anything I ever knew How about you

Ten more reasons Why I need somebody new just like you Far more shocking than anything I ever knew Right on cue

Can't stop addicted to the shindig Chop top he says I'm gonna win big Choose not a life of imitation Distant cousin to the reservation Defunkt the pistol that you pay for This punk the feeling that you stay for In time I want to be your best friend

Eastside love is living on the Westend Knock out but boy you better come to Don't die you know the truth is some do Go write your message on the pavement Burn so bright I wonder what the wave meant

Kick start the golden generator Sweet talk but don't intimidate her Can't stop the gods from engineering Feel no need for any interfering Your image in the dictionary This life is more than ordinary Can I get two maybe even three of these Coming from space To teach you of the Pleides Can't stop the spirits when they need you This life is more than just a read through
