How to play Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers on Guitar

[2k9sandman]

lmao! I learned this song about 2 days ago and bought a capo about 2 hours ago and figured out that i could play it with a capo and I thought I was a legand for this discovery and then POW! I see this video and realise that im not as clever as I thought I was...

Fuckyou bro!

[leonoff89]

nice nighthawk

The problem here is that using a capo takes out the difficulty.

In theory it's a good thing, but as a guitarist you should be trying to push yourself rather than holding yourself back by finding simpler ways to play a slightly more difficult riff.

Hope this clears up the capo hatred here.

It's not that hard if you use a capo.... it took me two hours to learn the whole song to perfection

[Gibson1961SG]

Come on.. it took me just an hour of practicing this to get it down.. it's not that hard.

[petros1997able]

capo=justin bieber



[adilje111]

is this a joke

[stoeltzingblues]

only panzys play this song with a capo

[YuriNabakov]

The fact is that music is commonplace and can be easily played with the capo. I bet it was written in C with the highest pitch.

Great lesso.

[Drubinow5]

[Drubinow5]

I can understand u

[19Muco19]

it isnt unsterstandful...



[pfcwesty33]

this should be finger picked and without a capo. its better to play it right!

[TheFender2010]

What about the rest of the song?!

[SystemaFTW]

Should've done it with a Strat. Shame, shame. And without a Capo, at that. :/ I can't speak for John, but this isn't traditional.

[TheSundevil13]

hey what kind of pickups are you running on your setup?

[xxxnickrhxxx]

theres only two hammer ons in this song one after the first riff then the third one

[tileguy95]

sorry u can cheat with some songs this just doesnt happen to be one one those songs

[frnezykiller]

under the bridge with a capo? fukoutahere

[HowToPlayAnySong]

@frnezykiller - you have our permission to go ahead and do it the four finger way. I'm sure John Frusciante would be honored.

[lukegranger89]

@frnezykiller If you know how to play it why are u watching a lesson for it lol

[mysterons23]

@frnezykiller for real, if you don't want to put in the time to practice to learn it the way it was meant to be played (without the capo) then you suck... and you should die a slow death... just kidding, but you still suck.
