“California,” from Lenny Kravitz’s 2004 album Baptism, is a smooth, mid-tempo rock track with funk and soul influences. Centered in A major, it features warm, clean guitar tones, gentle chord progressions, and melodic fills that complement the laid-back groove. The song emphasizes phrasing, dynamic control, and tasteful rhythm playing, making it ideal for guitarists practicing clean accompaniment, melodic embellishments, and expressive guitar work in a contemporary rock-soul style.
