[RHCP Cover] Funky Monks

[traserodevaca21]

nice cover :D

[Andy4991]

He's playing it wrong.

[MrSilverHero]

@Andy4991 Well I don't see any video of you playing it better.

[raleighman3000]

You can play this with a pick if you move fast from that initial low E string. (from the main riff)

[miclovendabeast]

KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[miclovendabeast]

keep on rockin

[MegaLanguagelover]

good job

[kuldar79]

Great!!! Finger Styleee!!!!

[serg199113]

you have motivated me to learn this song!!!

[lee0122333]

finally learned how to play this couple days ago. fufilled one of my dreams 8 months in.

[Bllackguard666]

Should I play this on my Les Paul or my Warbeast? :P haha, j/k. Nice covers, man. I USED to be good, but, eh...got rusty.

[rogercag]

Respect ! you are the best one ;)

[rannable8]

I dont care how Frusciante does it, this kid is rocking it as hard as he rocks that leather hat!! Good job sir.

[fender1gibson]

what's that noise on the background?

[kingnothing189]

@fender1gibson My guess is that he's in a/his studio and the background noise is other bands playing in rooms.

[aarreessppllaann]

maestro

[vmda]

dude you urged the fire inside me for owning and playing guitar after 13 years. Thanks and cheers bro..

[TheUserless]

Frusciante uses "fingerstyle" not picks.

[Idoyourh0e]

@TheUserless yeah, cause he gets much more power on the high E from using finger style

[aikman20]

@TheUserless But he's doing it his own way mate, its his cover. 

[IXconnorXI]

@TheUserless Actually he only uses "fingerstyle" on the intro with an acoustic guitar. The rest is a clean electric.

[BarneyWoland]

@IXconnorXI "Almost all the solos are first takes and some of them were cut along with the basics, like “My Lovely Man” and the first solo on “Funky Monks.” On “Funky Monks” I played everything without a pick, even the solo. I’ve been playing that way more and more lately—in fact, I haven’t used a pick in weeks now.", John Frusciante, Guitar Player – October 1991.

[IXconnorXI]

@BarneyWoland I just got owned :L

[jstrange18]

@TheUserless he is finerpicking dumbass

[exercutionernickster]

@TheUserless i belive he knows that and he plays it his way

[mansurhcp192]

@TheUserless he is using both watch the whole video even thou you have to play this song the way you feel it, its impossible to play it otherwise.

[unclechristy020]

@TheUserless your dad should've used "fingerstyle"

[MrSilverHero]

@TheUserless And where do you see him using pick? Blind twat.

[aer0smith1]

@TheUserless are you blind? hes not using a pick

[xTurquoiseGlazex]

@TheUserless You and all those who liked your comment are fucking blind retards, he isn't using a pick and it's really obvious...

[psmtheman]

HE NEEDS TO SWING THE EIGTH NOTES SLIGHTLY

[abar1204]

@psmtheman he does...

[grUngEroX1991]

@psmtheman YOUR MOM NEEDS TO SWING MY EIGTH NOTES SLIGHTLY.

[owen642]

this is a proper cover, best ive seen yet

[Wy4Th]

uhm...fake =D

hes acting like he was playing

the begining of the song is EXACTLY like the original one..

[razhidiz]

@Wy4Th it's called a cover

[nmav0709]

@Wy4Th - Check his other covers fella. The dude can play.... and play well. If you can't see that you need yo eyes and ears checked.

[soundboy3]

@Wy4Th Huh? you don't think he's playing it? the tone is different on the right side... listen again, he's just good enough that he sounds like the track. at the break before the solo, you can hear someone playing drums somewhere else in the building... definitely a live recording with the album track panned mostly to the left side. Unless you're joking and I missed it.

[joazquinz]

@Wy4Th you are so stupid, really get a life and stop been a asshole, fuckin kid....

[vmda]

@Wy4Th this comment is the proof of his perfection !!

[RogerRabbit94]

your a funky monk.

[JoshuaRSM]

nice hat faggit

jkjjkl faggit

[Fanchus]

@JoshuaRSM ...

[soundboy3]

@JoshuaRSM nice, he plays a great cover and you slam the hat?

whatever... go home, I think your momma is calling you.

[JoshuaRSM]

nice hat faggit

[texymex123]

Nice playing man, especially compared to some of the RHCP covers I see on here! Also, you nailed the tone pretty spot on!

[gunn2040]

dude you rock

[MrMilansmit]

don't cover if you suck. this doesn't suck but you have a background so you can't hear you but this is never the meaning of the song that a douchebag like you with a hat and superman shirt covers and not standing like fruciante always did. fruciante breath music. tumbs up if i am right

[nirvanafrik]

@MrMilansmit watch his other videos to judge him. plus, he is not fucking frusciante, get over it.

[beandip9541]

@MrMilansmit funky clothes for a funky asian muthafucka

[canibaldance]

@MrMilansmit

asking for thumbs up?

come on kid tell your that you need some attention

[AlanMcKennaVideos]

The chorus bit sounds so fun to play

[FunkyAxl11]

Man their old albums are WAY BETTER than they new ones!

i hate the fact that they changed from they Funky - Punk - Rock attitude to a mainstream one

[vizcacha5]

You kinda look like a hobo :p. Awesome playing though

[vinielol]

How can you train////// do that????

I'ts defintly better to do things by ear..

Is there some method that can use or is it just listen verry carefully and figure out note by note ? (because that can take some time!! :P

greetz

[frogsby182]

dude.. whats with the scarf...

[Marcelobogado33]

[asianaxeman]

[Burntoastfilms]

lol i can't hear you. just the original track.

[popomczowzow]

That means he's really good, cause he's definitely playing. You can subtle differences when he hits the low E.

[Burntoastfilms]

haha yeah good point

[shuichifucker]

i have quite trouble playing this buts its better now then before so with practicing maybe...

[Nikolicarav]

you're too stiff..

[popomczowzow]

He's funkin around just as much as you can when you sitting XD

[NickBart686]

Great cover but I just have to say that outfit isn't very funky. Lol

[CCWKiller]

Now play it the way it should be played : with fingers and some slap ^^ anyway nice cover

[meandmydevilblues]

[popomczowzow]

[KoreaFlea]

오 쨉쨉이님 이시네용 ㅎㅎ

역시 잘 치시네용 ㅋ

[GI0PRODUCTIONS]

all im really hearing is the song hes playing with, i dont think i would have noticed if he played out of tune or compleatly wrong but i guess hes just blending it with the song and playing accurate maybe..

[favd2002]

cool!!!!!!

[redchilifan]

seems like you're having superman... nice play..

[lala123753]

i love his playing but i don't really care much for the color of his tele...

[gymmonkey727]

Really because i love that color i wish i had it.

[Idoyourh0e]

@lala123753 should be butterscotch blonde

[mattroger06]

This guy is awesome!!

[Asgoriath]

Nice solo dude!

[Voldy90]

woah realy awesome cover, liked it! *add to fav.* Please make some more covers dude ;)

[bongobongo4]

wow some people have no sense of humour..hes dressed that way cuz he felt like it, and he plays good, so back off!

[Aram1ska]

cool !

[eaglewatch6]

well bobbob,if we are supposed to not pay attention to his clothing then why upload the video,and our human eyes cannot focus on one point,they scan everything you look at so how are we supposed to not pay attention to his clothing?we can't focus on just one thing and block something else out.

[ExoticSpoon]

Do you see how the red hot chili peppers dress???? Flea wore a skin tight skull suit in the slane castle concert. Anthony always pulls out the sides of his sleevless under shirt at concerts. Chad always wears that blue hat with the matching shirt. John would probably be the only one that doesnt dress like they do. He has his own sense of style, but youre right, next time i try to wear something, i'll just come to you and ask for your suggestion. You metrosexual loser.

[eaglewatch6]

For a start it takes one to know one doesnt it.Plus your not in the chilis band are ya,just coz they dress funny doesnt mean u have to.I have the slane castle dvd so i know wat they wore.And why the fuck would u come to me,fuckin wear ur own clothes.

next video why dont u dress up as spiderman

[ExoticSpoon]

Of course it takes one to know one. I love the way the chilis dress and this guy is showing the same feeling i have. No im not in the chili peppers but because i almost worship them i love their style. This guy is a Korean dude who loves their music. Let him dress how ever the fuck he wants. I was being sarcastic when i said I'll come to you for clothing advice. I guess you're too dumb to understand that too.

[eaglewatch6]

Sarcasim is like a second language for me.Are you fuckin racist?!Fuckin why would you point out that hes Korean?I bet if he was English or American you would just say hes a dude wouldnt ya?racist fuck

[ExoticSpoon]

Now im racist because i pointed out he happens to be korean? Don't try to change the subject dumbass. He plays well, he wears what he wants, that's true chili pepper attitude. If you don't understand that don't criticize it.

[eaglewatch6]

your the one changing the subject,by pointing out his race.And that was irrelevant.Oh and by the way fuck head,criticize means to express judgment with repect and i am being respectful to rhythmguitar and i still am but then you came along and started being disrespectfull towards myself.

[samerika]

penis

[eaglewatch6]

Are you gay?

[GotLakai686]

You're plane retarded..

[eaglewatch6]

Its spelt 'Plain'.

and it takes one to know one AND even if i was mentally challanged,then why would u call someone a retard.

Rude son of a bitch.

[samerika]

No i just wanted you to stop arguing

[bradvolk3]

Hammer on 1^3

not 0^3

[BobBobGobGob]

No.

[eaglewatch6]

I dont like the look of this guy-not in a racist way coz im not like that but for fuck sake hes trying to be cool.Superman shirt?Leather hat?watever that shit around his neck is?The little photo of him in the bottom left corner?wtf?

give me all the bad feedback u guys want but thats fucked up

Overall good cover

[papermatemusic]

I completely agree.

[BobBobGobGob]

I think we should pay attention to the instrument, not his choice of clothing.

[eaglewatch6]

I hate it when people act like they are so cool so if you want us to not pay attention to his clothing,then you can download the audio for it and send me it

[1959desoto]

Hes just havin fun jeesh lol

ps nice playing man

[HispanicImpression]

Ya definitively have no clue about funk. Pretty sad...

[eaglewatch6]

I know what funk is.The whole point of leaving comments is to give ones opinion towards a video.And not many people here know that so thats why im telling you guys now.get over the fact that i have enough guts to express myself

[ExoticSpoon]

We'll do that once you get over the fact that he expresses himself.

[eaglewatch6]

im over the fact that he has expressed himself infact i never had a problem with him expresing himself.You need to get over the fact that im letting him know what i think of his video.If i just say "yep fuckin sweet vid 1 billion stars'then thats a load of shit and then if he makes another video then some racist son of a bitch wanker might say"oh im a racist fuck your video sucks blah blah blah".

And thats gonna really lower this guys self esteam isnt it.

[ExoticSpoon]

I doubt he really cares about people who write racist comments about him. He has too many good comments to cover him up.

[toleigh]

It doesnt matter if there are more good comments than bad comments-if someone writes him a racist comment then its gonna saty in his mind and it will lower his self esteem

[denn3den]

so long as it sounds the same

[gitaarkoffer]

Mierenneuker!

[91RHCP91]

Holy Crap all of your covers are perfcet!!!! ;)

[kovsroc]

eww telecaster

[billybobmark]

for those who are saying that they cant hear the guitar the tone is slightly different between both guitars

[bobketer]

Guys guys.. 6 thumbs down? I was only trying to give him a tip.

The first note of the intro/riff the 'g' note. Frusciante plugs(!) it with the thumb of his left hand instead of the index finger of his left hand like this guy does. If you plug it with your thumb you don't have to move your hand thus making it easier/quicker.

That's all I am saying your all just getting me wrong.

[volcanovape420]

whats with the hat and scarf?

[lvllqlc3v1lv]

he's korean lol that's what

damn koreans

I love my heritage but the fashion is shit sometimes

[kovsroc]

lol dude everyone thinks the fob koreans in my school are gay :s

[Pudlis16]

Love that funky sound!

[Apple0192]

if you take requests..can you do this song completely on acoustic? I'm curious to see how it plays out.

[Apple0192]

you did fine don't listen to the idiots.

[bobketer]

Learn to plug the low E string with ur thumb at the first note of the riff.

[undertaikur]

he is plucking dumbass

[marradonna18]

NOOB that isnot how its supposed to be

[deryck05]

Snick0r123 you're such a moron ...

[wsdrummer06]

its sounds like the original and im pretty sure you wouldnt call it that
