    John’s tone in this one is amazing. Nothing against the other guitarist but with Frusciante they are just on a different level. Great job again helping us axe impaired players learn these amazing licks.

      Theyve had like 12 different guitarplayers throughout the years but Im assuming you mean Hasselhoffer.
      He was basicly just filling in for Frusciante for 10 years and I really dont think he ever brought anything to the table musicly.

      To each his own but I really never liked neither his playing or persona.
      Its also bit of an insult to David Hasselhoff to refer to him as "Hasselhoffer" so I should perhaps stop doing that.
      I will take the song Looking For Freedom over Hasselhoffers playing any day.
      Bit of a weird comparison I know but still.
      I think Hasselhoffer fits better as a roadie or someones guitar tech than he does being in a band or making music in any form.

    Great video. Can anyone tell me why the Eb minor changes to E major (played here as Em and E in standard tuning) for the chorus? I've been working on theory to try and bring myself up to speed a bit, but I don't understand why this works but it does seem to be the way it's played.

    • @danbaczkowski506
      @danbaczkowski506 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      In a key, the 1 chord and the 6 chord (here the song is being played in G major, so G and E minor) are tonic chords. You can tell it's a tonic chord because it feels like home whenever the progression lands on one. For tonic chords you can go from major to minor or vice versa to give them a different flavour without changing their function. In this chorus they use E major where it would normally be minor and you can hear it gives it a little lift so it sounds brighter. The Chili Peppers use this trick often, like in the outro bit of Under the Bridge that goes A - Am - G - F. You can understand this progression as being in C, where A would usually be minor, but using A major gives it that brighter feeling without changing its tonic function or it's feeling of 'home-ness'.

      @@AlbertKarhuFilms I'm just finishing a Masters in classical composition so I've picked up a lot of theory on the way (that chord stuff for example is from Lendvai's axis theory as applied to Bela Bartok). However since that's all a bit much and I can't really recommend going through that, I will say I think a lot of the channel 12tone's content on theory for popular music is pretty good 👍

    What fuzz pedal is John Frusciante using for black summer guitar solo?

    • @jurekwoz
      @jurekwoz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say it's Big Muff + BOSS DS-2 in Mode 2. I accidentally combined those two pedals and it's 100% Frusciante's tone. Then I've read that he uses those two effects, so it might be exactly what he's using.
      There's this bassy fuzz thump and mid-boost cutting through of boss ds-2 mode 2 in his tone.
