The chord progression of "Friends" generally follows an IIVV pattern (with the exception of the bridge sections) in the key of D flat (occasionally D when played live), with heavy use of power chords in the accompaniment. Satriani performs the track using Drop D tuning down a half step and when performing the track live often uses a different guitar. In an interview for 'Guitar for the Practicing Musician', Satriani stated that he originally composed the song on bass guitar while looking through a book of photographs of smiling children.
