John is the best musician who is still alive. I started playing guitar because of him. I did a few covers of his song. Plz check it out (@mychannel) and tell me what you think about it. It would help me alot. JF 4 ever
Based off of the description of soloing at 3:20 - 4:25, he would probably end up getting in a fight with Zack Wylde if they were stuck in an elevator.
@MrMan0029 well.I did sound at a lot of punk/metal venues. I would rather seen spoken word, or poetry read, over metal now. hardcore. the whole works. 'shredding' doesnt compensate.
@JFfanforever yeah, that's cool, but I think that I just couldn't learn it, and I don't have much time.. and I know these are all just excuses, but well... :) congrats to you, anyway :D
"It's like a different dimension. You've got a high thing and a low thing, which is like two things, rather than a chord which is like one thing.. yeah"
with what i just heard for music and styles of music i feel like i am nothing.I wish i will learn a lot of things about guitar and especially for music
@fruscidant don't think that way. After some time playing, you' ll look differently on some things, especially on different playing tehniques, you'll understand more. Practise regulary and it will come to its own..
@JFfanforever You seem to be good at playing with that comment :) Do you know what strings he's hitting at 07:53 ? Is he bending the g string on 14 fret and then a hammer on and pull off from 12 to 15 on the b string?
@GuffeHedning yes, he's actually bending the g with his middle and ring finger. but he takes his ring finger off to hammer ons and pull offs on the b and the high e string. i can't seee what frets is he playing..
@JFfanforever really thank you for your comment from what you said you have to be a musician or you know a lot about music are you playing an instrument?(soz for english)
Took me at least half an hour to play Fig.6 very differnet from his version.. much slower or with more breaks.. but he just makes what´s in his mind and creates amazing riffs!!
Listen all you fucks, who gives a shut what guitar he plays but for the record on under the bridge and most of that album he uses a 1964 fender jaguar but he could make seasick steves 3 string tin can guitar sing sweeter than most players out there just wish I had time to practise 10-15 hours a day
John Frusciante is sincere and deep when it comes to his music and the way he expresses himself within it.I see him as a truly universal inspiration for any musician of any style of music. Again John KNOWS HIS SHIT!!
so so true i always said fuck all guitarist have "style". my favorite guitarist is robyn fynch (other than hendrix who is the god weather he is your favorite or not) from NIN, but not being a huge RHCP fan and having never thought about it much, i have to say John Frusciante fucking rocks big time ! being influenced by "egoless" rock like Tool, NIN e.c.t I think J F is my new guitar playing inspiration !
@punkrocker12688 well, i don't kniow what you're talking about, cause if you look at the guitar, you see that there is some damage on the top. just like is original (most famous) strat, so you're talking bullshit... and beside that it doesn't matter wich guitar he's playing on, it's always awesome!
@pindametjamkaas what are you talking about? i said that he never uses the orange fender in the can't stop video, i never said anything about him not using any strats. and the strats he uses in both of those videos, im pretty sure, is the same one in this video
@punkrocker12688 Yeah he said himself once that he didn't like playing the guitar in can't stop and that he only plays old guitars :) the guitar in the can't stop video was just for show
I'm sooooo glad I found this video. I've been listening to his technique and the way John plays for a long time. Really helpful. Not to mention just a cool guy to listen to. Sweet.
...it justs, it justs, it justs creates this dimension to it because then you got two...you've got a high thing and a low thing and it's basically like two things rather than just playing a chord which makes it like one thing...
please anyone, in the start of the chord / melody two note inventions what he plays sounds just like one of his songs but i cant find it, whats it called?
"Its all about playing music. Its not about what you can show people what you can do with a piece of wood in your hands that has strings on it." He's like the Gandhi of guitar. I wish more guitarists followed that rather than just showing off and making money for it.
holy shit ive been playin guitar for jus over 2 years and the stuf that john was sayin about the solo philosiphy was almost the same stuf im thinkin about wen i try and make music with my friends. i cant solo... well not that well i need to learn more about the fretboard. but once i learn most of the fretboard physics im just gonna go off! i cant wait!!! its gonna be so fun! ill never be bored! if i knew how to play like john i wood play guitar nonstop forever! i play enuf and im not that good.
@oaxaca911 i think they wanted to, but froosh declined because he only plays strat models that are from before 1970. so it would be kind of pointless.
@oaxaca911 It will never happen. John only plays pre-CBS Strats. He would never allow them to put his name on anything new production, and he shouldn't. Even modern Fender "Custom Shop" guitars don't measure up to Pre-CBS instruments. They don't harden the bridge mounting screws properly. They don't use the right steel in the bridge block. I can't even list all their deficiencies in one comment. In short, they could make it look like John's '62, but it wouldn't be. Not even close.
John uses old 60s stratocasters which are damn expensive, almost 30,000 dollars and his Fenders are standard stratocasters so is useless if fender realise a J F model. Besides I think that if you want to sound like him you need to have his fingers and his talent, its not about the guitar. But if you like a guitar like that save 30,000 dollares and buy a 1960 original fender stratocaster XD.
yup, long fingers help but I think its a matter of hability. I know guys with long fingers who cannot play even a chord. In the case of John and so many others is talent. Love John, he is amazing. Im happy he is alive and in good shape now.
@oaxaca911 Its not about the tool, its how you use it. Apparently Fender has approached Frusciante about this but he didn't agree to have his name stamped on a product made by some corporation. Any of the current s tandard Fender strats are great instruments and will sound great in the hands of a disciplined player. If you really want to sound like Frusciante keep an eye out for one made in the early 60's with a price tag of $50 000.
@cammense That guitar is actually a model called a Fender Toronado and it was only used for the video because it fit in with the color schemes in the video. John never actually used one, but i still wouldn't mind having one haha
@Dzjurrm ummmm, no its not, he's never actually played it, he only plays vintage fenders and his most famous guitars are the 1962 strat he's using in this video and his white strat
In comparison to John, every other guitarist just seems like a poser douchebag. I just can't help it, John is just so true about music, others don't seem to have that feeling.
Well I am 90 years old and I have been playing guitar for all of those years. I got 17 doctorates in music and I have 48 songs hit number one. I released 43 albums and they have all gone diamond within the first hour of them dropping. I think John is a good guitar player but that is only because I taught him everything he knows. Same with every other guitar player you think is good. Yep Stimmy the Timmy taught them all. Oh I forgot to mention rolling stone named me best ever at every instrument!
@lazermonster ok so if all that is true, why in the hell are you on youtube commenting on videos when you could be doing bigger and better things, ik its complete bullshit what your saying becouse i havent heard shit about you at all and if your as good as u think you are then come with more proof then just words

no one is saying he didn't play a good show(s). i'm just saying his playing in this video is not special, spine-tingling or difficult. i can take myself or a 14 year old student send you frusciante's .mp3 and mine and the 14 year old, blind fold you and you would NOT be able to distinguish him.
not to say he didn't play well at some show guy, that's a different story.
but he has the luxury of playing PERFECTLY on studio recordings. i said he can write good parts.
if i blindfolded you - and I am a TRAINED musician, my friend, i GUARANTEE: you would NEVER be able to distinguish between his playing (i'm talking in this video) and some dude i got at a guitar store. you would simply not be able to do it.
@caesarcerf Then why does he sound so incredible live? Go listen to a video of Don't Forget Me or Californication live from 2002-2007 and it just sounds magical.
I like the philosophic effort-- While I have no idea if he acheives as I do not know his music, I have to acknowledge his attempt to put the dynamics of music into words which is all too often presented in terms of note and chord relationships. and even then, like philosophy itself, goes largely ignored (just teach me the song brother)-- but to him whom hath ears, let him remember, Knowledge is power.
@caesarcerf Then perhaps you could describe why Frusciante's playing invokes such powerful feelings and emotions when you hear it? There's a reason why his (and the RHCP's for that sake) songs have the ability to send shivers down your spine.
imonyourfacewoot - it sound as if you're Dutch - you need to remain out of the fan-boy coffee bars and lay off the 'Frusciante' weed! That's my point, young man, his renowned 'soul' sucks, it his is an indication of his 'feel.'
He may be good at constructing (on occasion) chord sequences; e.g.Under the Bridge. If these youtube videos are an indication of his feel or technique, he has neither.
@caesarcerf I love it when people say some guy or the other doesn't have soul, like they know what they're pouring into the playing... or as though it is possible to play ANYTHING without pouring a huge amount of your soul into it. Hands don't play guitar son, otherwise everybody'd be Hendrix.
@caesarcerf Being a good guitar player isn't playing ridiculously fast solos. It's all about soul, and frusciante has more soul in one fingertip than most people have in their whole body.

In comparison to John, every other guitarist just seems like a poser douchebag. I just can't help it, John is just so true about music, others don't seem to have that feeling.

Well I am 90 years old and I have been playing guitar for all of those years. I got 17 doctorates in music and I have 48 songs hit number one. I released 43 albums and they have all gone diamond within the first hour of them dropping. I think John is a good guitar player but that is only because I taught him everything he knows. Same with every other guitar player you think is good. Yep Stimmy the Timmy taught them all. Oh I forgot to mention rolling stone named me best ever at every instrument!

@burnandbleed93 I cannot take credit for any of my work because of the Illuminati. If I record any bit of audio or video they will capture me and take to their secret Illuminati headquarters. In this place, I will be forced to makeout with every member of the Free Masons, past and present. But my son, if you still don't believe it is me listen to any song recorded or not, even if it is you playing the instrument it is me, my creation. Just look up Illuminati on the Google, Educate Yourself!

no one is saying he didn't play a good show(s). i'm just saying his playing in this video is not special, spine-tingling or difficult. i can take myself or a 14 year old student send you frusciante's .mp3 and mine and the 14 year old, blind fold you and you would NOT be able to distinguish him.
not to say he didn't play well at some show guy, that's a different story.
caesarcerf 3 months ago
well everyone's spine is subjective!
but he has the luxury of playing PERFECTLY on studio recordings. i said he can write good parts.
if i blindfolded you - and I am a TRAINED musician, my friend, i GUARANTEE: you would NEVER be able to distinguish between his playing (i'm talking in this video) and some dude i got at a guitar store. you would simply not be able to do it.

@caesarcerf Then why does he sound so incredible live? Go listen to a video of Don't Forget Me or Californication live from 2002-2007 and it just sounds magical.

@caesarcerf And just to clarify, he improvises the majority of his part, so he isn't just copying out a recording.

I like the philosophic effort-- While I have no idea if he acheives as I do not know his music, I have to acknowledge his attempt to put the dynamics of music into words which is all too often presented in terms of note and chord relationships. and even then, like philosophy itself, goes largely ignored (just teach me the song brother)-- but to him whom hath ears, let him remember, Knowledge is power.

TehSorso - Non-sense. Guitar is EXACTLY (and I've played well for many years) is PRECISELY the kind of thing one can do "on auto pilot."
If Mr. Frusciante has 'soul,' it is PLASTIC soul.
caesarcerf 3 months ago
@caesarcerf Then perhaps you could describe why Frusciante's playing invokes such powerful feelings and emotions when you hear it? There's a reason why his (and the RHCP's for that sake) songs have the ability to send shivers down your spine.

imonyourfacewoot - it sound as if you're Dutch - you need to remain out of the fan-boy coffee bars and lay off the 'Frusciante' weed! That's my point, young man, his renowned 'soul' sucks, it his is an indication of his 'feel.'
He may be good at constructing (on occasion) chord sequences; e.g.Under the Bridge. If these youtube videos are an indication of his feel or technique, he has neither.

@caesarcerf I love it when people say some guy or the other doesn't have soul, like they know what they're pouring into the playing... or as though it is possible to play ANYTHING without pouring a huge amount of your soul into it. Hands don't play guitar son, otherwise everybody'd be Hendrix.

@TehSorso Unfortunately, I think most people equate how much they themselves connect to the music with how much the artist is feeling it.

@caesarcerf Being a good guitar player isn't playing ridiculously fast solos. It's all about soul, and frusciante has more soul in one fingertip than most people have in their whole body.
