    just a tip, use a compressor pedal with the attack on full, it'll sound godly

    Hey Dave. I have the boss katana. Whats a good setting for the Bedroom lick tone? Gritty and that Pick attack sound. It sounds like he was using a compressor of some sort. Which I would like to use.

    hello there, this might be a bit of a personal question but do you do music as a main job or do you do a different job and do videos on the side? I just want to know as I would love just play guitar

      I do videos and all sorts of stuff to make a living. Well. Scrape a living actually. Its very very hard in this day and age, If not impossible to make a living out of music and being guitarist. :(

    Thanks. I wanted to learn this one for ages. Everything was smooth until that three-fret stretch over B chord with your thumb on top. Short fingers, not much one can do. Pinky works, sort of. Same thing as with your little wing intro lesson. Guess, I'll have to find another way. Still, great lesson. Thank you.

    Dave-if you still read these. I'm in love with this band: Fuubutsushi
    They sometimes remind me of your ambient jams.

    The top right of your pick guard is hanging on for dear life lol I absolutely love it haha. When ppl see the shape my guitars are in (especially my acoustic it has extra holes and is held together by tape and stickers lol) ppl always tell me bro that would make better fire wood. Please throw it away.
    But they still play and they sound amazing so I'll keep jamming on them ;)

    This lesson is just class, Dave. Thanks for the time spent playing it over and over from the beginning at each stage. So much fun learning and studying how Frusciante masterfully blends this all together. Learning this has made me almost exclusively switch to a .60 pick, only way to get the sound and flow. Love it!

    @Luiz-yj2po Рік тому +1

    Thanks for the content, bro. I’ve been playing this riff for about a year, but I never tried to play it right and I decided to do it now. There is something about this riff… I’ve never played something for so long without getting bored and never playing again after a few months. Another thing: I love your version that you recorded seven years ago with that orange amp, it has a different vibe, I think it’s a great idea to record it again, like an “update version”. Anyway, greetings from Brazil!! 🇧🇷

  • @elijahproto
    @elijahproto 4 роки тому +1

    Dave, I loved this video, but some of the techniques you do are not the way john does it in the video, like the second revolution after the hammer-on slide he hits the A on the 5th fret instead of waiting and then hitting the D, G, B strings, one more thing is that he does the part at 22:56
    It sounds like he plays it slower than you and he slides from 3/5 on the A string then on the D string he hits 3, and then goes back to 5 on the A, then 3h5p3 on the D string
    Over all though, it's probably better to have a more unique way of playing the song

      Dave Simpson I just sat down with this video for an hour and wow…maybe I can do it. You are such a phenomenal teacher. I never thought I would be able to play this. I’ve been playing guitar since I was about 18 (I’m 32 now) but until the last year or so all I played was basic open chord rhythm stuff with a bit of fingerpicking and a few barre chords thrown in.
      John Frusciante made me want to learn serious guitar; things I didn’t even know were possible to play on this instrument and in the last year I’ve learned so much thanks to your videos, John (as inspiration!) and learning pentatonic scales.
      I was trying to learn this via a tab and I just couldn’t get it but sitting down for an hour following your video as closely as I can I actually feel like I’m making progress! The only thing I struggle a bit with is moving fluidly to that double stop and the accuracy of hitting the DGB strings without clipping that high E but I am so happy with the progress I’ve made after an hour sitting down with this video.
      I show my wife your videos all the time because I drive her mad talking about John Frusciante (her Birthday present to me this year was a John Frusciante Hoodie and a sunburst strat copy) and I can say ‘see! I’m not the biggest John Frusciante fan out there. There’s someone even more obsessed than me!’
      Thanks so much for these videos! If you’re ever anywhere near the midlands and have time to do a one off lesson (I’ll pay!) please do let me know and keep going with your channel, Dave, you are so good at teaching these little subtleties that other videos miss. Your interview on another channel where you talked about how you picked up guitar moved me to tears and helped to bring me out of a dark place at a difficult time.

    • @Bjarku
      @Bjarku 2 роки тому +1

      Dave Simpson I just uploaded a little lick from Under the Bridge that I’ve been practicing for a while (bad quality recorded with crappy iPhone mic and dropped the phone under a blanket which I think actually made it sound better haha). Wouldn’t have been possible without your help! All I could play before was strumming along a few basic open chords and barre chords to very basic indie and folk songs.

    Dave, I just wanted to say thanks for doing these! Man, I've wanted for years to learn how to play these type licks and most of the lessons I'd found to be honest were far too slow paced. I would find myself getting bored before I really learned anything. You kind of make it easy and simple but don't dive too deeply into theory and all that confusing babble. Lol. I've really learned many cool things from these videos and my playing had really been taking off to new heights. So just really thanks for taking the time to do these bc it's massively helped me with my bluesy rock type stuff. I've been playing now for over a decade and there's just little things I take away from these lessons that make a big difference in my playing. So thank you very much for taking the time.
