Nice cover dude!

[zXeCLiPzeXz]

[zXeCLiPzeXz]

@StainlessChina

I doubt naming the video " Guitar Cover of Red Hed Chili Peppers Cover Of Stevie Wonders Higher Ground " would be very appealing.

Think before you try to be smart.

[lucasdefaveri]

melhor cover de todos os tempos... e um dos melhores que já vi tocar... talento ^.- qto tempo de pratica?

[jroxx11211]

good job bro!!!

[Altomcjiggle]

That guy looks like dave navarro

[StainIessChina]

This is not an RHCP cover it's a Cover of RHCP's Stevie Wonder cover get it right! lol

[marcomili]

@StainIessChina Of course is a RHCP cover! Do U think it sounds like the stevie wonder's original????? ge it right! lol

[StainIessChina]

@marcomili No it doesn't but the song wasn't written by RHCP, therefore it is not an RHCP cover.

[JesusSocks]

@StainIessChina but it cleary is a cover of the red hot chilli peppers version...thats not the original stevie wonder version in the background mate

[GonUsa1]

your covers are the best covers of rhcp (in guitar)

[johnraymond010]

u're pretty power,handsome and look little old ... :|

[modnation7]

this guy....is the most amazing person i have ever witnessed in my life.....

[13Pinkytm13]

do you use any effects?

[dollars0are0sweet]

how do you filter out the harmonics on the 12th fret in the starting lick?

you have to mute some strings, but when I do it it sound very sloppy due to the harmonics on the 12th fret..

[CurtFlea]

Hey man ! I really love what you do, it's very great ^^

By the way, I'm learning guitar and I like to watch how you play rhcp's songs to play better ^^

I like your style !

[Topsipopsi]

I like your smooth style of playing guitar, it looks so relaxed and still you play really awesome!

[3Paul12]

I must have added like 50 more views to this video while learning it haha.. its pretty easy to learn it from :D

[deppwaswho]

hot stuff. really well played

[04callwilk1]

Dude your RHCP are awesome :)

[morganteaccirt]

bravo....davvero in gamba

[Matziproducciones]

you seems to anthony jajaja great cover , this cover is the version od navarro?

[yawhatevr]

Duude you look exactly like Anthony Kiedis o_0

[abar1204]

you look like a mix between anthony kiedis and dave navarro

[JoshBoyy1]

@abar1204 shit dude O.O thought the same :L

[Boreddd111222]

dont quite have the rhythm through the verse but a good job all round

[XSixClawX]

That was AMAZING! Good job, man! You are awesome!!

[TheTom5150]

Like the downpickin man that's pretty good!!! Also like the feel you play with, when people ask for tabs you should respond with actual sheet music LOL. I think the chilli peppers changed the song up a little because the guitar player from stevie wonders band shows it bein played G to Bb to C. Oh well you sound good, wish you lived close to me we could jam :-)

[dantesmusicreturns]

Dude, you remind me of a mixture of Hillel and John!

[aydooknow]

@dantesmusicreturns

[fdser654]

@Victor280590

po, valeu vei :D obrigado por assitir!!

[pacman547]

um you think you can make a lesson video for this song? the tabs online all fail and aren't at all near the song.

[rach6st]

learn it by ear. If you have the skills to play this song, then you can learn it by ear. Tabs are for noobs.

[pacman547]

meh, i guess so. And actually id rather think of tabs as for lazy people... 8D

[misterfreekie1996]

great great!! maby you can play new by the rhcp:) john is gone

[Koldenenmaster]

you are a god of guitar man

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

No no no Jeff Loomis is a god of guitar :P.

[Jordo1900]

[notblondbitch]

[Shalashaska777]

Boss cover. 5/5

[Snakebloke]

[icps86]

[andybc94]

[mwa735]

Wouah ! C'est mortel !!

J'adore 0_0

[falkooooo]

omfg very nice:D:D:D:D

[ignasi09]

Oye me encanta la fender telecaster, su estetica me encanta y me voy a compara una tele por 730 euros, pero yo quiero tocar al estilo de los rhcp, tipo john frusciante a lo funky, tambien al estilo de jimi hendrix 100% y tambien como john mayer, pero no se si me iria mejor una stratocaster, que me recomiendas,

Te pido consejo porque eres un crack jaja

[DjPesX]

te vendria bien la stratocaster mi primo tiene una y creeme q el es un segundo john mayer

salu2 dj pes x de maracaibo pal mundo

[icps86]

si mano, una strato es más versatil

[AsurorusA]

he forgot something on 0:52

[Marcosrhcp007]

Great! You haven't only played the song, you have also played it funking amazing and funkyly! Your style is great!

Ther's a lot of difference between what you and what other guitarrist are able to do.

[MattOnBass29]

ok, the bass is 10 times better in this song than the guitar... RHCP guitar licks without bass is almost just annoying..

[anoj18]

if you ask for tabs you are nobbish ;s you didn't see where he puts his fingers on the fingerboard? ; O

[gibson102]

TABS!!!! ...very good cover :)

[VOODOOCHILDJORDAN]

just play with it a bitt you shound NEED tabs..........yer theyd be nice butt you get so much more out off trying to get it yourself............and learn from what you did wrong

[AlexDeMars123]

When people ask for tabs it makes it obvious that they don't know how to play guitar. If you had even the slightest idea how to play you'd know that there are hundreds of sites to get guitar tabs from.

[bhalani]

well said

[rahvin89]

@AlexDeMars123 Yeah, I agree. It's tough to get good tabs though. Most of them aren't even worth looking at.

[CCCots]

@AlexDeMars123 Actually, if you played guitar you would know that the tabs you find on websites are crap and the only way to get anything decent is to do it yourself or ask someone who is much better than you for tabs

[AlexDeMars123]

@CCCots Yeah, because even if the tabs are 100% correct, they're wrong.

[hillelslovakrip]

@AlexDeMars123 maybe they just want the ones to match this cover cause the other ones are really inaccurate...

[xquickstrykex]

@hillelslovakrip indeed, I hate the ones that say something along the lines of, "I think this is how it goes, it sounds good to me anyway." and you play it and it sounds like shit...its like, asshole! don't post it if it isnt accurate!

[JustinPlaysBass97]

@AlexDeMars123 well honestly some people play it a bit differently than others. I dont know to what degree this differs from the original (if any) but most tabs are for the original.

[RVsoloman5000]

very good

[171Allanzinho]

Substituto do John !

[Philley]

that's great stuff you play, it's nice to see that you're totally into the music

[redhotchiliman1]

dude tabs plz i mean i know the chorus but dude tabs plllzzzz brotha

[AEBASEBALL20]

dude you totally nailed it, great job.

[RICMIRI]

thank you!!

[RICMIRI]

anyone know? what is the distorsion pedal that John used to play this song?

[guitarmasterjvc]

ds-2 was the only one he used at the time. he also used two jcm 800s (they can produce lots of gain)

[RICMIRI]

what is the pedal that you used? is it different that the pedal of John?

[Korzarmalte]

That was great! :D By the way, i have the same RHCP poster as you. ;)

[GreenPeaV]

by the way i tried to say id be there :)

lol nice choice of words :D

[DAJ777theguy]

i love the faces :)

[DAJ777theguy]

[panthrfan1]

I've got that amp and it is the best amp ever!

[CochiseOfHatorade]

Hey, love the cover man! Everything seemed spot on and I loved how you got into the groove of it :]

I do have a question, though. I'm learning this song myself, and I can't seem to get the muted strums right, do you have any advice? Thanks!

[frtzarn]

you rock! i love the sound

[ihk33]

after watching this i play higher ground with my friend, a bassist for thousand times haha

[zooligist]

you are playing the chorus wrong

[SporkyPoo]

[armoniamusic]

[BuBuBassMan]

dude your good!

[FunkyFreshjams77]

i fucking love this song and this is defintly the best cover ive ever heard of it. you play it with funk n soul

[babyblueearly4]

now just learn the bass part and then ill be impressed

great guitar skills though, keep going

[fdser654]

lol, i learned the bass part even before the guitar... though i probably couldn't do it that well anymore so it probably doesn't count :P

[danielbv2]

jajajaja

[KawabungaFartingDude]

love the sound and the feel. we can feel your joy! great cover! go dude! 5*

[Breathor]

V YES! V

[ec476405]

You should do a collab for this song with Munkybarz

[jimmypageforprez]

you should post the tabs please

[at1m6nn]

Nice to hear\watch: when soul and technical knowledge meet. I think too, this is your best cover, and the best cover of higher ground i've ever heard. a very complex song.

btw, keep up the good work.

btw2, this is my first comment on youtube

[MetalVideoMassacre]

my friend has that same exact guitar (exept american version) and amp haha

[racshampoo]

Hey Rafael, você é simplesmente o melhor guitarrista de Red Hot Chili Peppers que eu já vi. Melhor, inclusive, que o próprio John Frusciante!

Você detona! Sou seu fã!

[lBenHarrison]

I see a couple of people ""Trying"" to give lessons on this song.....Man....they arent near as good as this.

[aceplain]

This is your best cover. You put so much soul into it.

[1690rfc1690]

watch paulovento for a laugh

[tomaspianovi]

well, your covers are great

[SJsharksRULE142]

BEST cover i ever heaerd of higher ground

[prestonne1987]

this is a good version...but u need to look at some tabs cos u have missed out on some muting in the verse on the second time u do the 3-5-5 chord...it goes -x-x-x-x-x-x-3-5-5---5-7-7--x-­x-x-x-x-x-3-5-5--x-5-7-7....if u cantch my drift..listen closely

[greggyj9]

DaveOfTHL  for the record john didnt make this it was there original guitarist hillel

but yea your really good man

[Delta1382]

Actually, this one was played by John on the album (Mother's Milk) the only song MM that's played by Hillel is Fire. Anyway, awsome song, awesome band, awsome cover.

[CrockyHead12]

good playing. your tone is shit though.

[masteroftheobvious86]

You shit on every other amateur guitarist. Amazing! Keep up the great work.

[residentre]

[DaveOfTHL]
