I learned how to cope with death and process grief from John. Specifically from his album The Empyrean, that album is like a religious experience for me. It helped me so much after I lost my dad. It's amazing how helpful music can be in your darkest times. I'm forever grateful to John for sharing his beautiful soul with us.
In 1989 I realized that JF was a new guitar god. Happy to see just how many people have come to realize that as well. In the States #2 Groove is almost always called "Chicken Scratching" very very James Brown.
Such an awesome video! Please do videos about John's playing on specific songs like Turn it again or Dosed. It will be amazing to see you analyze those songs c:
Hon Davy. I like your style. Given I have a gretsch streamliner in that colour, a fender jazz bass, a jazzmaster kit and a strat, it's a lot of good choices.
Amazing things to learn without a doubt. I think the song Snow possesses a solo, isn´t? the very last part, very minimalistic, but still a solo, don´t you think?. Great content btw. Keep it up.
Easy point of contention, the word, "ALWAYS" One thing about JOhn, he doesn't ALWAYS do anything. If he ALWAYS does one thing, it's ALWAYS doing things differently and never repeating (including NOT using the same fingers on the same chords on the same songs, much less solos or single note funk lines)
Rules to JF: 1.) Be a prodigy by age 15... 2.)IT'S NOT A CLEAN TONE. 3.) ALWAYS play differently than before. That'll get ya started for the next 40 years.
DAVY, What is it called when Frusciante is doing in the song SNOW its using 3 note triads but adding trills notes its a weird technique. Any other songs he does this technique in other songs?
Hey man! So he used triads a lot. Snow is probably the most difficult song to play. Have a look at ‘under the bridge’. I know it’s a slower easier song but it’s brilliant for learning! 😊
@@davyholden under the bridge is more of how Hendrix used chords with trill notes. Frusciante uses 3 note triads adds trill notes it's very different than how Hendrix does it.
So when he actually strums all strings despite only playing one single chord like in “if you have to ask” chorus, how would I play the 8. 10. 10/13 slide 8/12 slide Whilst strumming all chords, have no clue what do with the other fingers, obviously thumb covers the top two, but I have no idea how to continue to play these notes whilst strumming, eg when trying to do 10/13, I always manage to play the open D chord if I try strumming all notes Any help would be appreciated!
I think the best way I found out to play those notes would be thumb over the top 3 then using my middle finger to play these chords whilst muting the bottom chords? What do you do? Thanks again
Mate, actually, i think he pulls the strings like pinching, you know, try to watch the Funky monks documentary, maybe you can figure out. For me the best way to get this part the same as the original song is pull very hard the strings with the thumb and the index finger, string by string
I like the bridge on the strats and teles I’ve had because it sounds fat. I thought it was because I didn’t understand electric guitar. Everyone else seems to prefer the “lead” pickup. I don’t .
Takes a lot of getting used to. I have very small hands so it took me a while to get used to - Best thing you can do is get a guitar with a skinny neck!

Super clean playing! Dude you nailed that Frusciante sound!

@@davyholden Which Fender model and which pickups are in your guitar?
2:00 he actually let the silence in between
I love your “Frusciante’s sound”👏🏻
Thanks so much bro glad you like it!! 😁
#2 nailed it. He actually said that habbit at an interview
Thank you so much 😁

❤️🙌✨🔥😁🤩🤜🤛👑🙏
Chicken picking actually. The guitar player of James Brown’s band was the one that made it popular.
John is the MAN!!😁
the slane castle solo! you could feel which song will be next. i will never forget it and it just prepared the song. JF Genius
I’ll never forget it either man. That gig really was something special that will never be recreated 😁
@02:44 Snow is the hardest guitar plucking pattern to ever learn....
hands down !!!
You are an awesome player and a great teacher. Kudos for finding all that out and sharing. Thanks mate!
Thanks for this video. It is one I'll return to again and again. Super playing too!
Thanks so much Darren! Really appreciate it and i'm glad you enjoyed it 😁
Such an awesome video! Please do videos about John's playing on specific songs like Turn it again or Dosed. It will be amazing to see you analyze those songs c:

Gotta say I like your pick choice,( if you gonna use a pick) I also play fingerstyle and both have a place.
great sound, tone, and playing!!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it😁
Hon Davy. I like your style. Given I have a gretsch streamliner in that colour, a fender jazz bass, a jazzmaster kit and a strat, it's a lot of good choices.
Hahaha great choices man! Thanks for watching! 😁
Amazing things to learn without a doubt. I think the song Snow possesses a solo, isn´t? the very last part, very minimalistic, but still a solo, don´t you think?. Great content btw. Keep it up.
Thanks so much!
Great!!! (From a Frusciante's fan)🙌🏿
You deserve a lot more subscribers man, you definitely gained me.
What effects were you using I'd love to see a video on the effects
Hey man! Thanks so much! 😁 so I was using a Marshall silver jubilee plug in on this video with a triungulo labs boss ce1 clone! 😊
@@davyholden Can get that pedal anymore maybe maybe not? And how do you get the silver jubilee plug in?
Awesome work, tone n´ advices.
Thanks so much I'm happy you enjoyed it! 😁
This is a great video. Thanks!
Your tones are awesome man
Thanks so much James! Really appreciate it 😁
Great lesson. Could you please make a Video how to get this amazing John Frusciante Sound. I have an AXE FX 1. Could you give me here some advice.
Bro busted out the Slane Castle Intro, now I’m mad as fuck! Been trying to learn that shit for a week and bro just freestyled it😭😭😭
You’ll get it dude! All Am pentatonic 😉
True! :D Thanks.
Great video 🤘🏻 thank you friend.
Thank you!
Good job man! keep it up
Thank you!!😃
Great
Thank you!
Nice loose and strong right hand. A lot of this Sound
Absolutely!
6. You can overcome deep problems and become a better version of yourself
Absolutely 😂
Bro you are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you bro!!😁
Just wondering what is the neck radius of your strat?
To be honest, im not sure! its a standard mexican road worn series strat if thats any help!
The thumb on the lower E string is a Hendrix thing.
100%!
Sick relic guitar
Thanks so much! :)
Easy point of contention, the word, "ALWAYS" One thing about JOhn, he doesn't ALWAYS do anything. If he ALWAYS does one thing, it's ALWAYS doing things differently and never repeating (including NOT using the same fingers on the same chords on the same songs, much less solos or single note funk lines)
And please turn that music down, it's very hard to hear ye
You do have a great tone, it's not exactly John but very solid.
Wow
Rules to JF: 1.) Be a prodigy by age 15... 2.)IT'S NOT A CLEAN TONE. 3.) ALWAYS play differently than before. That'll get ya started for the next 40 years.
dem tree notes
Irish accent at its finest 😊
Savage video!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you buddy! 😉
Your tone is spot on Frusciante!
Thank you !😃
You are so Irish! Great video
0:37 - i need to know what this is
Its just a Jimi Hendrix style lick is all🙂
Good video and lesson too 😆
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it! 😃
Young Paul Mccartney playing Frusciante!
😂😂😂
I feel like the "thumb over" technique, is for the genetically gifted
And trust and believe you'll progress just fine without it. If like me u don't have much choice...
snow is so f hard! (for me) :D
For me too man. Such a difficult riff to play 😬😬
Yup da irish
Hell yeah! 🇮🇪
Seen em at Slane and Oxegen!

@@davyholden under the bridge is more of how Hendrix used chords with trill notes. Frusciante uses 3 note triads adds trill notes it's very different than how Hendrix does it.
What are you using for the tone
Marshall Silver Jubilee plug in dude!
@@davyholden thanks man that’s gonna be a must have
On the katana?😊
Sounds like a Galway man!
I do? 😂
❤️
what is the first riff !!
This is just a riff that I made up!😊
@@davyholden any chance u could make a tab? i tried it and i felt i was playing it majorly wrong haha
Hold the phone… is that a custom shop relic? Did you do it yourself? I’ve always wanted this. JF is the reason I started playing at 12!
It’s not a custom shop. It was done by Dave Simpson. And I bought it from him 😊
@@davyholden Was it modded from a Squier Classic Vibe 60's strat? If not help! I want to make one similar.
i see frusciante i subscribe
#6 if you´re really good, you can leave your band and come back whenever you want
😂
Which scale does John Frusciante use ?
Nearly all pentatonic scale
@@davyholden Thank you
So when he actually strums all strings despite only playing one single chord like in “if you have to ask” chorus, how would I play the
8. 10.

I don’t .
Very true!
No te entendí ni madres pero está chida la guitarra
Using thumb over top is impossible for me ...
Takes a lot of getting used to. I have very small hands so it took me a while to get used to - Best thing you can do is get a guitar with a skinny neck!
@@davyholden Thank you for the encouragements ;-)
One thing john can't teach is how to tune a guitar.
Nice and useful video , thanks !
