“Get On Top” was created after a jam session that was conducted shortly after guitarist John Frusciante had listened to Public Enemy. The song notably features significant use of an Ibanez WH-10 Wah Pedal, and according to Frusciante, the understated guitar solo heard in the middle of the song was originally intended to be more noticeable. Frusciante changed his thought process after listening to Steve Howe’s guitar solo on “Siberian Khatru” by Yes.
