I have the correct tab without the capo, I was just wondering what fingering to use. Also, the tab says "with pick and fingers" and I dont get how that works. Thanks!

Ok, first of all, the song is basically chords that are played in a "busy" fashion. What I mean by that is, instead of just strumming, frusciante plays the chords (or arpeggiates) and then decorates the line with added notes. The best way to do that would be to hold the chord so it rings out and then add the extra notes with the remaining fingers. When it says "With pick and fingers", it's refering to hybrid picking. Hybrid picking is a technique in which you combine finger picking and regular picking, to do this, hold your pick normally and use your middle and ring fingers to pluck other strings.

Basically you finger pick it but use the pick (held by your thumb and index) as a finger. Allows you more freedom. Try it. It may take a bit till you get it down. Its a popular technique. I use it often when i need the pick right after a short finger picking passage.
