Snow (Hey Oh)
Snow (Hey Oh) is a perpetual-motion machine of cascading sixteenth-note arpeggios, and the tone is deceptively simple: John Frusciante's 1962 Stratocaster running clean into a Marshall Major, with a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble adding the liquid shimmer that makes the figure glisten. There is almost no dirt — the magic is in the clarity, the chorus, and Frusciante's relentlessly even right hand.
