"You can't forget it's all about playing music, it's not about what you can (John makes tapping's gesture) show people that you can do with a piece of wood in your hand". EPIC!!
If you recorded this guy improvising for an hour, you'd probably have enough material to make a decent album with! what a beast of guitar player, i don't think he even realises how unique that level of talent is.
"You can't forget that's all about playing music. It's not about what you can show people that you can do with a piece of wood in your hands that has strings on it. The idea is to make sounds that are good, and in music thats really so much about the relationships between the different things." -John Frusciante 3:18
Obviously nobody knows anything about Josh Klinghoffer the dude worked with John and John didn't pick just anybody to collaborate with him. Josh is gonna be a good replacement he's actually very creative so shutup about something you clearly don't know about the guy...
@xxgoettlichxx prettty sure its improv, you could totally just listen then try to play it though, it doesnt look to challenging, the name of the song to me is angels making love
@xxgoettlichxx It sounds a bit similar to Untitled #2 from his Niandra Ladies and Usually Just a T Shirt solo album. It's probably because of the technique he uses, but a few of the notes sound alike.
You know, i see alot of kids on guitar center playing there usual avenge seven fold licks and the kids who just learned their first metallica song, and i think to myself, am i the only one who likes to play melodic, i think being able to play in a melodic is far much superior than playing in a "shredder" way people who like the shredder stuff are usually just guitarist themselfs, your able to add another dimension to your playing if you play fast but pretty to me is more preferable...
@dnnysrock That's why they are my favorite band and my favorite shredder is buckethead because of that melodic dimension he has(if you don't know him look him up).
I think alot of guitarist could learn something from john melodicness.
I can't use my thumb for shit, i just started to learn now, and it's hard... in can't stop i end uo using my index to mute across the strings instead of using th thumb.
@lepenarco Kk, Basically he is using the pentatonic on one string; so for example your fingers are on high e string with your hand on the '5th' (pointer finger), '7th' (middle finger) and '8th' (pinky finger) and pulling off. (Im not sure what it's called though).
@adamwood0808 the peppers aint peppers WITH hillel, their style back then wasnt for the mass like it is now and they wouldnt have become such a great badn
I learned more things in eight minutes of video than a month in my guitar lessons, it is not the fastest in the world or the more technical but his style, his music is unique, he only need a note to drive me crazy
@jumpyourbone Correction. He USED to wear dentures after having all his teeth removed due to the fact he didn't brush his teeth for the whole 6 years he was on Heroin. He wore them for a couple of years during the Californication tour, but after the band started doing really well they paid for him to have false teeth surgically implanted into his gums, thats how come they look so good and his voice is back to normal. One of my sources is the Kiedis Autobiog. Others are interviews with John etc..
well apparently they're not actually dentures (anymore), they're false teeth. but he is celibate as far as i know and he's definitely older than me. and very sexy :)
Melódico, harmônico,nervoso,autêntico e o que é melhor: louco!
Dono de arranjos que parecem que não darão certo mas quando achamos que ele se perdeu é quando na verdade ele se supera e nos surpreende com seu excesso de criatividade e capacidade de improvisação !!!
can anyone tell me the tab for figure 8 & 9 because i am a fairly new guitarist and i thought this sounded amazing and would like to try it myself. thanks
@braveheart1996 fig 8 is on it. But it isnt that difficult to just see what he is playing. I would recommend to just try it out, that makes it more fun that learn it from a tab.
I disagree theirs no replacement for john. And the best thing about John is how he carried RHCP with Flea... and his solo work is legendary. I think he put up with Anthony for a long time and now Johns probly saying "I might as well have complete creative control instead of abiding anthonys lame style....
Hey does anyone know what John's amp settings are? I mean, his GENERAL funky amp settings, I know his tone changes a lot, but does anyone know his GENERAL funky amp settings? Thanks! :D
john is my favorite guitarist because he does not put pressure on his art he does not care if he mess up or what ever , he think that musik should be something free . thats why he is great.
For those people who thinkthat guitar and music in general is about showing off and playing as fast and as many notes as you possibly can, then you are sadly mistaken and screw you... Music is about expressing your emotions and about how you feel and not only about showing off and playing millions of notes... John is great because of how he expresses his emotions on the guitar and you can obviously see that he's into the music and not just showing off.... He's a true musician!!
Very true John.."It's all about music, it's not about what you can do with the piece of wood in you hands." I hate guitar enthusiasts when they compare the style of one to another. Its not all about how fast can you go playing guitar or how high your voice can reach but how you make a sound that will stick into people's minds. Just like how RHCP have done.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
definitely hes not the best guitar player even though i learned alot from this video a long time ago but hes got great tone, i wonder if he just has an amazing guitar tech or if he does it himself?
John is one of my all time favorite guitarists, I prefer his style over the style of any "real" blues or metal virtouso who plays a zillion notes a second...
But the little improvisation thing in "fig 7" is awefull. You see him screwing up every couple notes, it sounds like something I could come up with...
"liamscokedealer" u idiot john frusciante is one of the greatest guitarrist ever in case u didnt know, there may be better guitarrist on the planet but no one fits rhcp better than john not even josh
Josh is a good replacement for John, but only for the studio recording of the album. The best thing about John was his soloing at the concerts, and I think that Josh won't be able to do that, he's just not as creative as John.
nope.. he was replaced by his friend Josh Klinghoffer. and now John is focusing on his solo career ;) oh, and about that strat, there are companies that can wreck your guitar profesionally, so if you you want your guitar to look old just pay for it ;)
@kyod12 With respect, how do you know he won't be 'as creative' as John on stage? Nobody's seen him let rip on a solo in the new setup yet, with the Neil Young cover as the only exception. John was a force of nature, no doubt - but don't pre-judge Josh. I think people need to stop trying to second guess an obviously talented musician and wait for the record to come out & the live shows to start. The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof, lol. It'll be different, but so what?
@thebigbadjohnsmith What if people don't want to see Josh? I mean, he's probably the best replacement for John, but I don't want a replacement, so I'm going to judge him. I'm sure that many other people feel the same. I want to see John again.
@TheChippyRick Tough shit. Grow up. He's not in the band anymore because he's bored with it.
Accept it.
Also, its not as if he's died yet! Have you pursued any other avenues of his musical output? The Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quartet, Ataxia, Swahili Blonde, the latest solo album 'The Empyrean'?
I'm a massive fan, I wouldn't be commenting on this vid if I wasn't, but that was childish whining. Fancy pre-judging Josh just because you like John (who is still making music!), give the guys a break
@thebigbadjohnsmith Maybe if I was a fan of Ataxia and that guy from the MArs Volta, I wouldn't care so much. I think you need to stop preaching to people saying "give him a chance" when we know he's good. JOSH IS GOOD. I wouldn't care if he was better than Frusciante. I want Froosh. And growing up has nothing to do with it. Who even says I have to accept it? What? Why do you think I was a Pepper fan in the first place? It sure as hell wasn't so that I could explore Frusciantes experimental side
@thebigbadjohnsmith Just because you have a great guitarist to replace John, doesn't mean he would fit in the band. I listen to Josh K's stuff, and then listen to a song like "Hump de Bump". There's little chance this album will turn out well. I really want it to. But at the same time, I grew up with JOHN. He's the greatest guitarist of the last 30 years. Just ask ultimate-guitar. His abilities are miles ahead of Josh's. It's not childish to want your favorite guitarist in your favorite band.
@okamasphere Actually, you are probably right... And the fact is that nobody does know them. So why don't everyone quiet down, and try to figure it out ?
What a fucking retarded thing to say... John Frusciante is a stoned space cadet. You entire knowledge of guitar playing is probably confined to the top 40 which would by why u think this hack is good. Listen to Dave guitar playing in Three days and try and convince yourself john is a better guitar player? he is one of the most embarrassingly boring soloists i have ever seen live
I agree dave navaro is amazing (i assume thats hu ur talking bout) and one hot minute is in fact my favourite chilis album. But John is still an amazing guitarist, hes more spacey, as dave is more funky and i think both players made the chilis sound different and they were both amazing. You can't really compare different styles of guitarists. Its like retards who try and compare Bucket Head And Slash, its just stupid, they are completely different in style and approach to the guitar.
Dave Navarro said at the beginning of One Hot Minute that he's not really a funk guitarist... But he was able to learn pretty well. One good example of this is Walkabout.
@liamscokedealer OK so tell me how John is a hack?? how is he boring? have you ever seen or heard them live? If in fact he is the most embarrassingly boring soloist u have ever seen live, then you have not seen anything good live or most likely are retarded.... go fuck yourself and when your done go fuck your mother u poser
its not about who is better, but john flea chad and anthony are the red hot chili peppers, theyve made all the successes together, theyve been through it all, i think there is no decent replacement for john, because i think the band fitted so well, if one of them leaves, the band will never be the same, i would also said this if flea had left the band, or chad, john is my favorite guitarist, he made me play guitar, and i really left a tear when i heard he left the band..
This whole video is like a dissertation on Hendrix guitar style (the parts about him). THe way its like more than one part of the song being played on on fret board. Then if you listen to the end of this one its a good chunk quoting hendrix or just you can see the influence.
Imagine a master class with this guy. Would be just awesome for your guitar learning.
i have to disagree. I think Dave Navarro was a fantastic Chili Pepper and I wouldn't be against him rejoining the band. Although I know that's never going to happen.
"Bend the fabric of reality" what a legend. I think this man is the best guitarist on earth because he plays with his heart not just his hands - hes a legend!

Also, its not as if he's died yet! Have you pursued any other avenues of his musical output? The Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Quartet, Ataxia, Swahili Blonde, the latest solo album 'The Empyrean'?
I'm a massive fan, I wouldn't be commenting on this vid if I wasn't, but that was childish whining. Fancy pre-judging Josh just because you like John (who is still making music!), give the guys a break

@thebigbadjohnsmith Maybe if I was a fan of Ataxia and that guy from the MArs Volta, I wouldn't care so much. I think you need to stop preaching to people saying "give him a chance" when we know he's good. JOSH IS GOOD. I wouldn't care if he was better than Frusciante. I want Froosh. And growing up has nothing to do with it. Who even says I have to accept it? What? Why do you think I was a Pepper fan in the first place? It sure as hell wasn't so that I could explore Frusciantes experimental side

@thebigbadjohnsmith Just because you have a great guitarist to replace John, doesn't mean he would fit in the band. I listen to Josh K's stuff, and then listen to a song like "Hump de Bump". There's little chance this album will turn out well. I really want it to. But at the same time, I grew up with JOHN. He's the greatest guitarist of the last 30 years. Just ask ultimate-guitar. His abilities are miles ahead of Josh's. It's not childish to want your favorite guitarist in your favorite band.

@okamasphere Actually, you are probably right... And the fact is that nobody does know them. So why don't everyone quiet down, and try to figure it out ?

What a fucking retarded thing to say... John Frusciante is a stoned space cadet. You entire knowledge of guitar playing is probably confined to the top 40 which would by why u think this hack is good. Listen to Dave guitar playing in Three days and try and convince yourself john is a better guitar player? he is one of the most embarrassingly boring soloists i have ever seen live

I agree dave navaro is amazing (i assume thats hu ur talking bout) and one hot minute is in fact my favourite chilis album. But John is still an amazing guitarist, hes more spacey, as dave is more funky and i think both players made the chilis sound different and they were both amazing. You can't really compare different styles of guitarists. Its like retards who try and compare Bucket Head And Slash, its just stupid, they are completely different in style and approach to the guitar.

Dave Navarro said at the beginning of One Hot Minute that he's not really a funk guitarist... But he was able to learn pretty well. One good example of this is Walkabout.

@liamscokedealer OK so tell me how John is a hack?? how is he boring? have you ever seen or heard them live? If in fact he is the most embarrassingly boring soloist u have ever seen live, then you have not seen anything good live or most likely are retarded.... go fuck yourself and when your done go fuck your mother u poser

its not about who is better, but john flea chad and anthony are the red hot chili peppers, theyve made all the successes together, theyve been through it all, i think there is no decent replacement for john, because i think the band fitted so well, if one of them leaves, the band will never be the same, i would also said this if flea had left the band, or chad, john is my favorite guitarist, he made me play guitar, and i really left a tear when i heard he left the band..

This whole video is like a dissertation on Hendrix guitar style (the parts about him). THe way its like more than one part of the song being played on on fret board. Then if you listen to the end of this one its a good chunk quoting hendrix or just you can see the influence.
Imagine a master class with this guy. Would be just awesome for your guitar learning.

i have to disagree. I think Dave Navarro was a fantastic Chili Pepper and I wouldn't be against him rejoining the band. Although I know that's never going to happen.

he quit the band a year ago and the Chili Peppers are still interested in continuing as a band. It should be interesting to see how it will unfold.

"Bend the fabric of reality" what a legend. I think this man is the best guitarist on earth because he plays with his heart not just his hands - hes a legend!
