Great job! Such a simple yet effective use of the whammy bar. The high notes are also simple but have that 'out there' kinda thing goin on. It's one of those songs where you have to hit every note right :) And you did, well done :)
also, the third chord in the slow part is a G major chord where frusciante plays only the high strings,(4th string to 1st string) although he plays it in another position, which is the 5th fret on the 4th string, 4th fret on the 3rd string, and 3rd fret on the second and first string
you're playing everything almost right except for the part where you're playing the Dm7 chord, because frusciante at that time when he played funkier than nowadays, he removed the finger from the fourth string, muting it with his index finger. You'll see it sounds a lot better
You know what is annoying? How you can't watch a cover of Pretty Little Ditty - very well done, by the way - without 5 people bringing up how this song sounds like razytown. You would think by now people would figure it out...
lol i saw the bass in the background and the vid was 3min and the song is like 1:30 so i thought you'd play the bass lines too but good job and nice edit at the end:)
great cover! 1 question: is your strat hardly or difficult to play bends? because on my squier xD is hardly to play bends on the 1st,2nd and 3rd strings, and the question is because i'm interesting to buy a good strat by fender and your guitar is well.
Dude, grab yourself a mexican strat single coil. They're 400$ new. They get very clean sounds. And try DR's. Make sure they're 9's. And if you can get a Fender Blues Jr. A tube amp 400$ new. It's expensive and can take a while but trust me you won't regret it. Best Combo ever! But if you don't want to buy that expensive of an amp thats fine. Just make sure you get a tube amp. They get very clean sounds. Hope I helped!
MAGEOOOOOOOOOOOO lmao awesme cover buddy once i get bass going well its gunna be kickass couz i know you man and you got that j.f mind(y_ keep the covers rollin
Do you have a band or anything, because I absolutely love John and think he's the best guitarist and I would be interested in hearing a band that has a guitarist who's heavily influenced by mr.Fruscante.
Oh, you do it great. I wasnt meaning to criticize...I just like screwing with songs a little sometimes. I had actually forgotten the song until I saw this, and then I learned it from here.
well im doing the arpeggios as well...hmm i usually do the root note with the thumb but i never officially learned the song..just went by what i heard and decided to put it to video.
I think I play it slightly better. Maybe I am adding stuff...but I make the outro a bit more textured by using my thumb on the root note and doing apreggios into the notes. Wish I had a fucking camera to post it....I think you all would like it.
Its really good but i realised u aont playin the rigfht chords ur ment to play Dminor not that second chord from the beggining at the Dm, C, Dm, C fast bit :P
hey man sorry bout taking so long for the reply!! i dont know how i missed it...anyways are you sure i was playing the wrong chords?? cause they sound pretty on it to me:P
Mike, you are clearly very talented and a hottie to top it off. Stupid people like that listen to stupid music, and know nothing. I have stupid people in my life like that and lets just say, they suck at what they do, and they have to put down the ones who do it well to make themselves feel better. These people are just UGLY like the fishbone song........keep on rockin and I'll keep enjoying on every level.
im sorry to see that there are infact people as dumb as sirsharper because im clearly playing what you hear, and maybe someone who actually knew a thing or 2 about guitar or music in general will also see likewise......have a nice day asshole:)

If you struggle to bend, get thinner strings. Get a set of 9's and you'll be bending the night away!
