Me too dude. It was the first album I heard that the instruments in the music (primarily guitar) were just as integral (if not more so) to conveying the emotion/meaning of the songs as the lyrics/vocals. It was the first album that my preferred way of listening to it was laying in bed, in the dark, with my eyes closed, with headphones on and the volume all the way up. So dense, so many layers on the album, mmm, For example, before starting to play guitar I remember listening to the end of Turn It Again over and over when I first heard it; it sounded SO cool. And now after playing guitar for ~15 years I still feel the same way about it.
I have a strange feeling that John Frusciante will once again return to the Red Hot Chili Peppers for one more amazing album with his incredible playing, by the time it’s all said and done.
I believe people are into Frusciante because of the way his music talks to them.From the Mother's Milk to The empyrean his music breaths genius! In my opinion,he is more than a ''guitar hero'', he's a visionary master musician,constantly searching to redefine himself through music!What i've learned from John, is that music is the most beautifull thing in the world, and we should treat it that way! Peace ^_^
Red Hot Chili Peppers live shows are the reasons people always ask. I love RHCP live so much. I almost listen to bootleg live and slane castle more than I do their album songs. lol
Wadsmitter Hey ! You're still here ! You're the man who taught me that Mooer pedals have red lights when it's analog and blue when it's digital ! I will always remember this even when I'll be old and ... fuck, I'm already old ! Dammit ! :-)
He has amazing technical skills, but he just doesn’t use them often because he plays what the song needs not to impress people with his technical skills. He started playing when he was 7 and could play every Hendrix song by 12. Dude is a virtuoso. Listen to some of the songs from mother’s milk I think his technical skills really shined with the heavier era of the chili peppers tho he was limited because the producer wanted him to sound like Hillel.
Listen to the Amputecture album by The Mars Volta. Frusciante played almost all the guitars (Omar did a few solos; sometimes they’d both solo at once). He plays way more minimalistic in RHCP but he is actually has insane chops. He just doesn’t like showboating.
Frusciante’s work just hits me different than any other guitarist. His stuff just has this emotion to it and when you play it for yourself it makes you feel something. I love listening and playing his stuff when I’m low because his music is the perfect way to express that. Most of his stuff just has this sad yet beautiful tone to it that just gets to you and that makes me smile.
@@cravingpolice1409 I'm not sure in what way it's too much info to say something made me snort-laugh. Lighten up. You also forgot a full-stop at the end of your comment. Mine was a mobile phone auto-correct, you're just being lazy. Thanks for replying though, totally worthwhile.
@@samaj2001 i dont like ur sarcasam, it kinda ruined it, but i was just being friendly and u come out with a whole-ass paragraph but its good and i apologise for judging ur mistakes too early, my bad.
He practices 10-16 hours a day.even has 12 solo albums in which drums synthesizer and several other instrumenet are covered by him.he has devoted his life to music from young age
i taught myself how to play guitar and have had to rely on youtube and other websouces to learn more. Ive been playing for around 7 years now i can say : Your videos are some of the best for learning guitar. Its not only that your just demonstrating 'habits', you are showing a complete way of playing and looking at the instrument in a laidback way. thank you so much
An awesome example of John Frusciante guitar playstyle is zephyr song...everything in this song are so frusciantish...the triads that epic melodic solo the progressions...such a great song man...
To really get John I feel you need to really get into Niandra Lades and Usually Just a Tshirt. Of all his work his first solo album is by far the most raw and profound, but really gives guitar players a glimpse into how he plays. You probably know this already, but I've seen people who are personal friends of his not even know this record exists. Also the cassette has a couple different tracks from the cd. Just my 2 cents.
I just got into John Frusciante's solo work only last year (silly me *sigh*)....his solo work masterpieces are :Dark/Light, Carvel, Wayne, Time Tonight, Ah YUM and Past Recedes.....I'm obsessed with his version of Slow Cheetah...I'm glad to hear that he was the most requested artist.
Juan Valdez oh I know. Pretty familiar with his story. Huge fan of all his stuff. It's amazing he pulled out of that pit. Hope he's still doing well. ✌️
John Frusciante played with the same Lazy effortless style that Jimi Hendrix did. Absolutely amazing. John is also the king of melody. Check out the solo in the song "Couldve lied". Very very simple, very powerful melody.
Habits of Queen's Brian May! There's a wide range of features of his to choose from. Some examples, his melodic soloing using scales/arpeggios/and other (by either expanding on the vocal melody or not) (i.e. Killer Queen, Lazing On a Sunday Afternoon, Hammer to fall, Friends Will Be Friends), his signature delay technique (i.e. Brighton Rock), his guitar-layering (i.e. Good Company, Scandal, Dreamer's Ball, Made in Heaven, Bo Rhap)
I was John's guitar tech for 11 years. It's funny that you mention the difficulty of "Snow". There was a guy that was working on tour with us named Dane. (Video crew) He was learning to play guitar. He really wanted to play "Snow" But was having a real hard time with it. He asked me if I could play it, but I suck at playing, and couldn't begin to play it. I told him to ask John to show him how to play it. He did. And John would come down to the arena early on show days just to work with Dane on playing that song. It became a kind of project for John. By the time that leg of the tour was done, Dane could play it.
if you love triads you are going to love frusciante ! Almost every Stadium Arcadium song had triads in it. But in think you overlooked frusciante vision of funk music and the way he creates funk melodies like in "if you have to ask"
an exercise that I've found helpful is translating alot of pop songs and ballads into finger picked arrangements or just playing along with the vocal line in a song. This really helps with understanding melody over different progressions and how songwriters incorporate emotion into their songs. Doing this has really helped in improving my improv when you combine it with theory stuff.
After seeing this video I saw the music video of Under the bridge and I must say you truly have captured Frusciantes habits so beautifully in this video!Cheers man!
Surprised you never mentioned Eddie Hazel (Probably best known for his work with Funkadelics, check out Maggot Brain) . He obviously takes a lot of inspiration from him too. Especially if you listen to his album The Empyrean.
That angle (looks like from the perspective of where the right hand is) when you were describing the muted funk rhythm is a great way to see what someone is doing, I havn't seen much of that in demonstrative videos. good stuff thank you
Hey man, this video really brightened my day. I am in the 8th grade and have been listening to him for 3 years and playing guitar for 2 years. Thanks Tyler
Hey Razor. 8th grade? Damn,keep practicing you can do anything guitar wise at your age. Can’t go wrong listening to Frusciante. He always tries to make the song sound good instead of showing off.
"my favorite kind of chord, triads! John Frusciante also loves triads!" ... pretty much all western music since the 17th century is based on triads.... that's like saying, I like melodies!
U think there's something interest about Kurt Cobain's guitar playing? I know that his playing wasnt all that complicated but it made for some good songs in my opinion.
You are a great theacher man, you dont confuse to people with babble... So clear in the concepts, and not only that, you really know how to explain the concepts for apply musically to the guitar! Thank you so much master!...
We love him so much because of all the people we’ve lost in rock music, from drugs. Luckily for some reason he was meant to make it from that part of his life and its great to see. So yes, we appreciate him a lot! Most of those guys didn’t make it back in those days.
5 year old me: mum I want if you have to ask by the chili peppers Mum: we have if you have to ask by the chili peppers at home If you have to ask by the chili peppers at home : 3:53
George Toogood Some people dont have the fingers to be able to use their thumb like Jimi and John. To you they would say fack off, make music however you want.
I think Frusciante's most defining aspects to his playing are his strumming/groove, and his use of chord inversions. Like when he just rages chords instead of single-note soloing all over those outro vamps on Around the World, Purple Stain, Minor Thing.
One of the wierdest inversions for Bmaj I've ever seen is the way he does it in the chorus of Under the Bridge ("I don't ever wanna feel, like I did that day"). Watch him play that B chord. That fingering is literally impossible for me to play because I can't reverse bend my fingers lol. Second example is his outro solo on Around the World. It's just Dm / Em, but again, watch him play and look at his fingering. Almost deliberately uncomfortable and difficult, which seems to build hand strength and contributes a certain sound to his strumming/groove based on which notes are muted vs resonating. i'm probably doing a shit job of explaining what i have in my head lol.
hmm to me it always sounded and looked like a standard D-form Bmaj chord (from memory at least, as i haven't actually watched him play it for a long time). is there a particular video that shows what you are referring to?
Yes exactly, it's a D-shaped B major, but the fingering he uses is wierd as hell, at least to me. Check the Under The Bridge lesson video that John himself did, figure 4. He uses two fingers to create a bar at frets 9 and 11, then hooks that pinky upwards on fret 12.... I am not capable of bending my finger that way! I would have just held the actual D chord up there instead of barring it like that.
almost like his ring finger is double jointed or something! funny because this is the only way he's ever played the song, but every version of tabs for this song uses easier fingerings for that Bmaj chord.
ah yeah i see what you mean, where it looks like he's flattening the first joint of his ring finger to get both of the strings, with the pinky then playing the B. and yeah, i couldn't do that either. oh well, luckily you don't need to do that in order to play the same notes and have it sound the same way ;)
I love this video...this guy is normal...says things that make sense and are useful....no lame jokes....I'm gonna subscribe to this guy's channel....this is how you teach guitar...this is what an absolute beginner like I needs. You've deconstructed, broken down Frusciante's sound in a comprehensive way...I don't know anything about chords..I can barely name the strings...I've never heard of triads....and whenever I watch in instructional video, I just get scarred away from all the theory they keep barraging me with, assuming I know all the theory, Just don't know that one thing that they're teaching in that particular video...this is great! Great job, man!
i think in generali it is all about the fun that you can have with the guitar, just do what you like and youre sorted, just do what You like, play with cords, strings, rhythm, just do what you like, nice video btw
Thank you so much for posting this! I've been playng now for 2 months and John Frusciante is the reason I started. I'm currently learning Desecration Smile and while learning the chords is one thing, what's bringing things together is adding that "stanky" upstroke and your explanation on how to do it. I thought it was all upstroke chords. I had no idea that in addition to a few of those, it's also covering the frets. HUGE HELP, thanks!!
Abishai Choragudi habit #1. Amazing vibrato and God-like bends. Habit #2. He's the granddad of the triad. Habit #3. Play the PRS. You can have as many guitars as you like... But play that PRS. 😂 🤘

Me too dude. It was the first album I heard that the instruments in the music (primarily guitar) were just as integral (if not more so) to conveying the emotion/meaning of the songs as the lyrics/vocals. It was the first album that my preferred way of listening to it was laying in bed, in the dark, with my eyes closed, with headphones on and the volume all the way up.

Blood sugar sex magic was mine, but I got into them months before Californication came out so that's really the one that shaped my playing early on
Same dude

I agree that he's more than guitar hero. Even Kiedis said Fruciante can match any tune to any song he made.

John frusciante is probably one of the best creative and original guitarists ever. Maybe not technically, but he had a georgeus tone!!
He has amazing technical skills, but he just doesn’t use them often because he plays what the song needs not to impress people with his technical skills.

Aleister Davidson my smile is a rifle is eerily beautiful
Smile from the streets you hold its also a profound album, he made the album just to earn some money to buy more drug. Dark.
The world’s just a so sphere no bigger than the balls you suck
I also would recommend "to record only water for 10 days" as it shows how great his riff writing, and songwriting as a whole is.
That is one of my favourite albums ever. Beautiful

Under the Bridge is one my favorite all-time songs and because of that he will be among my favorite guitarists so I'm glad you covered him.
any John frusciante video where they just refer to under the bridge for half the video is dissapointing
and theres so much to talk about yet its the same one song
Louis Martin
But he didn't tho, it was just 3 minutes or something around that
I know right...
It's probably his most iconic. Though he has so much diversity!
Yup even more when they say under the bridge is made of triads. There’s not a single triad in that song, he played full chords in it .

I love this video...this guy is normal...says things that make sense and are useful....no lame jokes....I'm gonna subscribe to this guy's channel....this is how you teach guitar...this is what an absolute beginner like I needs. You've deconstructed, broken down Frusciante's sound in a comprehensive way...I don't know anything about chords..I can barely name the strings...I've never heard of triads....and whenever I watch in instructional video, I just get scarred away from all the theory they keep barraging me with, assuming I know all the theory, Just don't know that one thing that they're teaching in that particular video...this is great! Great job, man!
In under the bridge Frusciante doesn't use triads, he uses full chords.
True, but he often doesn't play the root note on the low E string, so it's inverted.
Awesome, lately these concepts have been becoming much clearer to me
Well as a Frusciante fanatic I can safely say that you need to study his music more... some of it was ok but there's still way to go
Thanks man I love John Frusciante!!!! Being A Hard Rock Funky Funk Guitarist is Amazing!!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been playng now for 2 months and John Frusciante is the reason I started. I'm currently learning Desecration Smile and while learning the chords is one thing, what's bringing things together is adding that "stanky" upstroke and your explanation on how to do it. I thought it was all upstroke chords. I had no idea that in addition to a few of those, it's also covering the frets. HUGE HELP, thanks!!
Although you played very well in the intro, it was nothing like JF in my opinion.
I've really got to get my act together and start re-learning triads. Nice video! A trip to planet funk.
Do habits of Tyler Larson! I'd love to see that....
;)
Abishai Choragudi habit #1. Amazing vibrato and God-like bends. Habit #2. He's the granddad of the triad. Habit #3. Play the PRS. You can have as many guitars as you like... But play that PRS. 😂 🤘
I always love these vids, I think they're your best series.
Habits of Guthrie Govan :P
Yes!
Every habit known to man.
