John Frusciante - Under the Bridge

[LucasGarcet]

we love you john

[TheDalegas]

Love you John!

[led96zeppelin]

he's saying to himself "must....not....sing...."

[Littlewings1984]

@nicjedi no i disagree, i just think of bold as love :)

[emmafrooney]

How do you turn on transcribe audio? :S

[MynZnusz]

@emmafrooney do you see the "CC" in the lower right corner of the video? Hover your mouse over it, and then click on the "Transcribe audio" button : )

[xSobhan]

legend

[5ek1tor]

hahaha turn on transcribe audio! :D

[MynZnusz]

@5ek1tor haha now his guitar really is talking!

[7byseven]

Yea thats it the "lead rhythm technique". The chords are wrong and the tempo and rhythm but I just thought it was a similar melody.

When I listen from 2:13 I hear the lyric "My red is so confident he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria", it just fits somehow dont you reckon?

[7byseven]

@Nicjedi I never said anything about chord structures or lead rhythm, seriously man think before you speak.

[TheGroumpfy]

We can't do it, just keep playing John.

[americanTDz]

@oaxaca911 you a stupid

[herbiesnerd]

@oaxaca911 Really?



[IamTheRealRocknrolla]

what dvd is this from?

[wrathchildaca]

@IamTheRealRocknrolla  its not from a dvd. its a guitar world cd rom from years ago

[GIMMA96]

i pay my soul for him as my teacher

[Fangusanaciega]

how chords use in 1:17 to 1:45???

RHCP4ever

[Jonashannes123]

I wonder what that guitar will cost when he is done with it..

[MattMonk]

@Jonashannes123 Looks like it's already worth a couple hundred grand.

[gnrcr]

0:27 to 0:29

He slid down, yet the pitch went up. This guy is unbelievable.

[108vasudeva]

john is a very very talented artist with a distinctive style and who plays how he feels. he truly expresses himself through the guitar. i could listen to him play all day, mistakes and all. thank God he kicked the habit and he's still with it. he comes across as such a humble, sincere, and likable person. rock on bro.. just for today.. :)

[7byseven]

sounds like jimi hendrix bold as love

[benbasketballgtar]

@7byseven no , it sounds like under the bridge

[7byseven]

@benbasketballgtar not when your ear is as educated as mine.

[benbasketballgtar]

@7byseven Im sorry my friend but as much as you would like to educate your ears it will never happen

[7byseven]

@benbasketballgtar My comment was true and valid, nobody has challenged it anyway.

[benbasketballgtar]

@7byseven doesn't need to be challenged by anyone 

[7byseven]

@benbasketballgtar Your comments have been pretty vague man are you just trolling?

[benbasketballgtar]

@7byseven nope , you said you have a more educated ear than myself, and you don't even know me , thats a pretty vague comment...

[7byseven]

@benbasketballgtar You suggested that you couldnt hear any similarity between this song and Bold as Love, that suggests that either you haven't heard Bold as Love or even worse you are unable to recognise similar chordial patterns and melodies, or even worse you could be just attention whoring, so its fair to say my assumption was the most polite one of the three.

[bzablo]

@7byseven you're a dumb ass. with a shitty ear. nothing alike.

[7byseven]

@bzablo Right back at you arsehole.

[SchuleRockt]

perfect

[straysailor]

Wow, this is even better than the song. Love that Strat!

[GhettoBlaster100]

he's allowed to make mistakes

[DelornificatioN]

It soothes me by only listening to him talking.

[StartingwithSoul]

john is very underrated when it comes to guitar heros.

[mpdp85]

@StartingwithSoul there are alot of under rated guitarists. he makes good music which is very creative and pleasing, but in terms of skill level i wouldn't say he is on the par with some of the best of the best guitarists in the world, eg tommy emanuell etc

[scaggs86]

Frusciante is awesome. He actually beat heroin and he looks healthy. Rock on man

[gaarasand333]

dude u little faker u got a tape and put the music with an image

[818indaEaStSid3]

all my high school years i had trouble wondering why i was the only who thought this guy was n is talented and very very skillful guitarist... Bravo for Frusciante

[ByVolcom]

can anyone tell me what type of pedal is he using in under the bridge final

[Andremzsptm]

@ByVolcom chorus pedal

[sushipojken]

I'ts a 62 vintage strat

[Maci5982]

OMG Dani california wah part. TAB IT PLEASE

[iLoVeMusiCoVermYlifE]

i am in love :]

[mdaleo]

Sweet strat

[Fjord76]

@mdaleo dude, ain't no sweet strat...this is THE strat !!!

[c0olbub]

he looks like a bum

[toojewfou]

hes amazing....

[chris0186]

How old is that Strat?

[CP3Hornets30]

@chris0186 62' or 64' i dont remember

[SkateD0G]

Isnt't there a series of strats that are purposely made to look worn out? I htink thats what he has

[DCooper720]

@SkateD0G it's not a relic or made to look likes it's "worn out". His strat is around 55 years old so that look is 100% natural wear and tear.

[Fruscification]

i love his right hand

[skgmax]

He's awesome, thank God to gaive him

[Jordo1900]

Guitar Pick obviously i like that bit in the intro instead of the hamer-on

[carliarce]

what he have in his finger? looks like a ring, or what ?

[saponavedi]

fig 5 impresses me... =O

[GoNeTo90]

[Scottbot101]

[neil19781978]

im useless at freting with my thumb :(

[plucknslap]

hurray a comrade!

[jcorvera]

can someone tell me the chords for fig 2??

dont need critism

just want the chords =]

[TravisCrookshanks]

F# Major i believe

[crpony07]

they are Emaj,Bmaj,F#min,Abmin,Amaj then he ends it with a E7...then after he goes into the hammer-ons he plays the first Emaj normaly and after that he plays Emaj hendrix shape hope it helps

[kattankarl]

anybody know fig 5? chords/tabs/whatever would be cool if someone would share

[DzonFruszontej]

so its like that: 5677, 5577, 3455, 0233 that high part is: 12-10-10-10, 10-9-9-9, 15-12-12-12 and then first part he plays to the end of song. that tricky part are most improvised so i cant tell you what exactly he plays, but you can check tabs, cause john plays it in few different ways (you can try what sounds better) [of course numbers, are frets of strings, starting from higher to the 4th string] :)

[DzonFruszontej]

im sorry, of course 2nd to 5th string:] that higher part is 1st to 4th

[kattankarl]

thanx alotr mate!

[DzonFruszontej]

if you have any other questions about that song just ask:)

[spm04]

Can you send me a message explaining the figures in detail. I didn't know this video even existed, so I learned the song with some tabs I found online, and most of it is wrong according to this video.

[RECHAVEZ]

I know what your saying SPM. I looked through many tabs of this song and learned it but he plays it completely differently. I wish I could see the tabs for it

[TheChickenOrTheEgg14]

2 things: 1) internet tabs are almost ALWAYS wrong

2) look for a copy of the july 2006 edition of GuitarWorld magazine, it has a transcribed version of the song and it's completely accurate... that's where i learned to play it from, so try to find a pdf file on the internet or just the real thing.

[crpony07]

i dont think he play 0233 i think he plays an Fmaj

[DzonFruszontej]

no exactly:)

he plays 0233 than last two times hits 1233 without 6 string so, we're both right:)

[curryinc]

fig 3 is tough

[RjPSpaceInvader]

this almost brings me to tears. life is fucked up!

[309502854]

john frusciante is totally awsome hes one of the best guitarists alive rhcp is one of the best band around, they have an amazing singer, one of the best guitarists and bassists in the world

[S0NiCCCCC]

@309502854 dont forget the drummer...chad smith is definitely an inspiration as well!

[jaggededge4]

[whyvai]

I can almost play it!!! :D

[psu3112788]

[d4rkarchon]
