This video is so awesome! Thank you so much for making it! Frusciante is one of the best guitar players ever in my opinion. He is criminally underrated!
i feel like john frusciante prefers the easy and melodic riffs, but every once in a while he pulls up a jimmy hendrix out of his sleeve to make sure people understand it's a choice hahah
@@EnterJustice and it's such a stupid thing to do. If I want to hear Scar Tissue, I'm not going to come to this video just to listen to someone play the intro. But if I've never heard Scar Tissue before, watched this video and liked the sound of the riff, I'd go look for the original to hear the rest. It's just good publicity to let people do covers.
"Can't Stop" encouraged me to pick up a guitar at seven. I'm twenty-five now. John is my number one guy ever, hands down. I've dissected every album to feature him in my young adult life. In high school, BSSM was 90% of what I listened to back and forth to school and work. But there's something about the riff to "Dani California" that just clicks for me. Relatively simple when you look at the chords, it just drives home how important rhythm playing is, it's all in the hands. And then to climax with such a killer solo. It's, to me, what guitar playing is all about. And like the top comment on this video says, I too cannot wait to see what he has in store for round three.
It's ok even if you tune your guitar correctly you won't get the same sound 😂 It was argued whether it was tuning issue or recording issue but turned out John tuned it with intent.
@@ashcrimsonl I saw a video on this. Apparently, one of the strings (forgot which) was tuned a little flat because it sounded actually more in "tune" with the song. It's not actually too difficult to replicate the tuning if you do it by ear instead of those electronic tuners.
Absolutely. Chasing the tone - go check out Dave video, need to figure out how to play - Nikola always got tabs for it. Those two channels should be preserved at all cost as essential knowledge of humanity :D
Nikola Thanks to all these tutorials and I was able to spend several of these songs in 2022 when I was going through a very difficult time and it helped me a lot to get away from depression and it is something that I thank you.
@@MrTheWanzyes the whole Stadium Arcadium is their best album in my opinion, just after BSSM and it's due to the amazing guitar lines and solos in my opinion.
Amigo, quiero darte las gracias, ya q todo este tiempo me ayudaste a aprender las canciones q más me gustan de los Red Hot chili peppers, gracias a ti ahora disfruto de mi instrumento cada vez más, gracias crack ;)
Translation for nikola: Bro, I want to thank you because all this time you helped me to learn the songs that I like most from RHCP, now I enjoy my instrument much more every time, thank you G.O.A.T (lo traduzco porque habla inglés)
I love how in the Mothers Love era John kinda followed the trend at the time: high gain guitars (he played ibanez at the time) with heavy overdrive, even the production of the records. Then in BSSM he went off and found his signature sound (single coils and with less overdrive) and just developed from that through the years. Even crazier to think that he was just 20-21 years old at the time and his sound is instantly recognizable and distinct from everyone else.
Nothing but love for this video, Nikola! ❤ The quintessential RHCP riffs in one take ❤ Thank you so much for this and for all your hard work! Stay safe and well 🙏
@@nikolagugoski hello my friend how you doing? Hope well. I have a sugest for you: in your lessons you could spot the key, it'd be great, like in dani california we've 3 different tones. Thank you very much for your nice work, i've learned so much from u.
@Luke It's that california sound. Not everyone will like it, but to me, it's the notes he does NOT play that make the music unique. Like carefully leaving out space for your imagination while massaging your cranium with just the right amount of riffs. But that's just a matter of taste, I guess.
@Luke uh, alternative picking for scar tissue is difficult and I've been playing for a while, snow is one of the most difficult riffs for a guitarist. this would take a new guitarists possibly months
His rythm playing is what makes it difficult to replicate his songs. As a lead, he's also great, he was a great tapper back in the day (im pretty sure he still does) and his alternate picked scale runs (ex. The last lick on Dani California Solo) are also very impressive and wild.
My favourite riffs to play: Funky Monks: 1:19 Scar Tissue: 2:46 Easily: 3:53 (this one always remembered me a song that is called "Va a escampar" from "La vela puerca") Can't Stop: 4:17 Minor Thing: 4:51 The Zephyr Song: 5:34 Turn It Again: 6:29 4:58 there is a mistake in the tab, it says: 5 instead of: 7 but idc, i can understand the tab perfectly 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 keep doing this

Your Knock Me Down is ridiculously good. I’ve been noting it wrong for 20+ years based on a Guitar World magazine from some time around 1995. It always sounded a tiny bit off too. That 0-3-0-7 hits better than the D string 5. Very helpful
To all that see this video . Your watching a man at his absolute best. I’ve been watching since 2015 , never saw you play better. You were feeling it !
@@Blarsen780 is dedicated to the woman who helped anthony detoxify. she lived in Venice at l.a. and he called her the queen of venice. she was a great friend of him and this song was wrote in her memory when unfortunately she died of cancer.

His solo stuff is great too. So much songs from him.
This is probably the best summary I've ever seen of John Frusciante
Snow is not easy riff bro, it’s one of the hardest ones 😅
Absolutely. The man can absolutely shred when he wants
@@toguedani9673 Who said anything about Snow
You never realize how much Flea’s bass playing compliments the riffs until it’s absent
The same way you dont realize how much RHCP lost its soul until John goes missing. Good music still? Sure, but Johns guitar is the backbone.
Otherside exemplifies this
@@GenjiroKibigami That's right, Flea and John complete each other and i think they should kiss, in his essay i will-
💯
@@chikaflasky The song Californication as well.

So looking forward to what John will do in round three.
Ed Mathews I can’t wait, hope corona at least brought them more time to compose new music
Apparently he's been heavily into UK Drum and Bass the past few years 🤣I am absolutely buzzing at the idea of a 174bpm Chad John Flea madness 🕺🕺🕺
so do I, dude
Tom Brunyee oh, you want flea and John at 174 bpm? TH-cam search "John flea Omar". Thank me later...

Cant stop encouraged you to pick up a guitar not a bass?
Completely agree, I had BSSM in my CD tray and it never came out
Wow scar tissue was so good it got copyrighted
XD
It feels like Nikola is flexing on us at this point
It's ok even if you tune your guitar correctly you won't get the same sound 😂
It was argued whether it was tuning issue or recording issue but turned out John tuned it with intent.
Scar tissue is played another way early in.
@@ashcrimsonl I saw a video on this. Apparently, one of the strings (forgot which) was tuned a little flat because it sounded actually more in "tune" with the song. It's not actually too difficult to replicate the tuning if you do it by ear instead of those electronic tuners.
Ah, John Frusciante. The number one reason players give for buying a sunburst strat.
I personally love the turquoise strat and the seafoam green one
@FeS FeO2 that's also a beautiful colour. I forgot to mention, the Daphne Blue Strat is also ever so lovely
Haha, it’s true, though. He’s why I bought mine, lol.
He’s exactly why I bought mine too
Exactly
Yourself and Dave Simpson are probably the best guitarist on youtube for this style of playing I reckon
Two of mine favorite You Tube guitarist.
The goat Dave Simpson
Absolutely. Chasing the tone - go check out Dave video, need to figure out how to play - Nikola always got tabs for it. Those two channels should be preserved at all cost as essential knowledge of humanity :D
On my favorites like its an encyclopedie
Agree. But try checking yesyuta's channel
So glad I found your channel! Most useful stuff for guitar players who are also rhcp and JF fans
I confirm bro, the best channel of rchp stuff
@@lonely_.man_66 you are so right man
Damn, you must've been practicing for years on these riffs because this is some clean shit right there. Love you, man.
Really appreciate that you've displayed the tabs throughout the video. You've taken care into your video production and it shows. Subscribed.
Thanks a lot!
Nikola Thanks to all these tutorials and I was able to spend several of these songs in 2022 when I was going through a very difficult time and it helped me a lot to get away from depression and it is something that I thank you.
So glad that „turn it again” is here, this song is so underrated.

I am a bassist do you recommend me play guitar, i really want but maybe the RHCP are too Hard, what do you think?
@Podremos llegar a 1000 subs sin video ? También hablas español? Xd
"Knock Me Down" is still my favorite RHCP song. I'm old, I guess.
Nope, you got good ears. And you know what music is about !
🤜🏻🤛🏻
Sound a bit like a page riff... 🤘
Totally agree! After One Hot Minute they got mainstream anyway!
Same here!
I’m 27 and it’s in my top 5 for sure

Even crazier to think that he was just 20-21 years old at the time and his sound is instantly recognizable and distinct from everyone else.
He only followed the trend on Mother’s Milk ‘cause Michael Beinhorn, who produced that album, insisted on John having a metal guitar tone
Glad 'Turn It Again' is on here!! One of my favorite RHCP songs and probly my favorite Frusciante solo. Such a genius song.
this right here is a whole ass vibe, i appreciate you man!! To be able to play my fav songs from my fav band because of YOU is so dope, thank you 🤟🏼

@@patrickbo2045 exactly. His music makes you think and melodic. Very hypnotizing
His lick is not difficult to play but difficult to create, he is creative guitar player, I love RHCP era with him
Not difficult? Please. His phrasing, chord shapes and runs are challenging.
@Luke uh, alternative picking for scar tissue is difficult and I've been playing for a while, snow is one of the most difficult riffs for a guitarist. this would take a new guitarists possibly months
I agree with you *mostly* cuz some songs with alternative picking are pretty hard but are really easy if you fingerstyle those riffs.
Their licks are very easy to play it.. wrong. He got a technique that is kind of unique.
His rythm playing is what makes it difficult to replicate his songs. As a lead, he's also great, he was a great tapper back in the day (im pretty sure he still does) and his alternate picked scale runs (ex. The last lick on Dani California Solo) are also very impressive and wild.
Thanks for all your efforts, I'm learning JF parts through your videos.
Just subsribed. Finally someone who nails it on the RHCP!! Good stuff!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the sub!

Great video man you played some of these perfectly 👍
Really, really amazing work. Obviously by John first but your technique is spot on as well. Nicely done!
I hope you are happy, because you made me hapoy today mate

Awesome work bro.

Good time boys is probably my favorite rhcp song. Thanks for making it possible for me to learn.
Why doesn’t the Sir Psycho Sexy outro ever get any recognition
I was thinking to put it here but it's too long for this type of video
yes maaaan. good time boys!
Awesome playing. However the fretbuzz gave me the shivers 😂
Excellent stuff as always man!
Zephyr still one of my favorite melodies to play
You're really amazing. Long life! Keep Rocking.
Con este tipo de videos me doy cuenta que Jhon es un genio y ha creado riffs muy iconicos
Great stuff as always
Good job, man!!!
Thanks Nikola 👏👏👏
Man comes and goes like flashbacks. But it's worth it each time. Him and Cantrell are my faves.
amazinggg!!
Amazing work thank you !
Glad you liked it!
Wow. Awesome sound and style!!

He’s breaking down the notes before the passion, so you can learn. It’s kind of scary learn teach that way
