Description updated to remove "former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist". We love you John
So glad he's back!
I’m still in shock man lol
Over the moon that John is back
Fitz beautiful !!!
only former should be in quotes...
Who else is admiring this legend in 2019!?
hell yeah!
Every year lol
Yaasss me 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤👏 just mesmerising!!
What a masterpiece!
Yes Sir. His Tone is just unreal...
john has gone through so many different evolutions...i feel like he's genuinely looked like six different people over the course of his career.
Once the Jesus
@@nik.chintavorn always the Jesus 😁
Ella S - Isn't weird how people you went to school with look so old and different now, but you still look the same as you did in high school? Me too! Jeeze, I'm so glad I'm not old like they are. I could probably still get down to my wrestling weight if I wanted too. This would all turn back into muscle if i started going to the gym.
Yeah, From 1991 to 2002 his look changed SO much! Especially before and after rehab.
Skinny John, Heroin John, Rehab John, Jesus John, Shaved-Head John, Retired John
Who is here after hearing he is rejoining RHCP!?! So stoked.
I can't stop watching him now! I'm super stoked on Chili Peppers all over again!
youtube musicians are edited imbeciles this man played guitar 16 hours a day so with that what you will
Literally everyone who will ever see this.
@@O5FS more like Lo_IQ
Really?!? Thank you Lord! The RHCP weren't the same without em
who's still here in 2024?
🫡
Every couple months at this point 💀
i am! trying to learn this, directly from the man!
I think this is one of the most precious videos on UA-cam
Beats the shit outta puppies, huh?
Meredith Richardson - ‘John frusciante beats the shit outta puppies- you won’t believe what happens next’ you’re right Meredith that would definitely get views!
I have it on DVD
Yes indeed
Even more impressive when you realise that ‘self taught’ back when he was young didn’t involve youtube or the internet
His parents were trained musicians.
@Bob Owens true, but john is a pro musician. He can play other peoples music, his covers span multiple genres. I prefer listening to john with the rhcp, his mastery of music shines when he plays off flea and chad
@Bob Owens that being said, I love his solo work. It's clear, his rhcp stuff was influenced by his solo work. But the guitar work for under the bridge wouldn't have existed without Anthony writing the lyrics first. Best band ever
Learning before UA-cam just sucked (especially if you were shy like me). I had a guitar teacher and Mel Bay books. I think the teacher was sort of a studio/jazz guy - I was listening to Cream at the time, he wasn't. Books were shit too - chords plus some sort of melody in standard notation. I quit for a while. Finally found Stefan Grossman and Arlen Roth with tab and little acetate "discs." And harmonica with the book by Tony Glover. The internet is a wonderful thing.
Arlen Roth books with tab and little acetate records. Tony Glover book for harmonica. The internet is a wonderful thing.
The tone for under the bridge is just... makes my spine tingle. Such a good balance between clean and crunch, meaty bass and the typical strat jangle.
Moreso when he plays the outro with the CE-1 chorus pedal. Heaven!
I still love coming here even after almost 8 years, it feels like im with john frusciante as he plays guitar on his couch
13 years ago now!
Yeah, feet up, can of stella just chillin the fuck out.
same! I've watched this video once every year for five years!
@@niketasdelgato4027 15 years now!
It’s been 8years come back n enjoy this masterpiece
I watch this at least once a week
Dishonour I watch it every morning before I start my day
This is everyday bread
Nick García, lol
Great guitar, but John could make anything sound and look great.
It's 2022, and HES BACK YALL!!!! PRAISE GOD
This is a contribution to humanity man. An archive for all the ages.
The way he talks is so adorable 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭
@@raisa_cherry33 He talks like that because he did a lot of drugs in the past
Akronys he talks like that because he is totally immersed in his music. he talked like that before he did a lot of drugs.
@@acdcjor Oh 😮
Cam Rocket haha
At 10:46 his chord/melody two-note invention demonstration is one of the most beautiful 30 seconds of playing I’ve ever heard. His music always seems to come so deep within him.
Baseline is consistent and simple. Then a nice bit of hammering sliding in the melody. This man's melodies are unreal.
John is just on an entirely different level than anyone I’ve ever heard. It’s like he’s playing from his soul and you can feel it. Amazing.
Gotta love that no matter how many times John flies the RHCP coop, the door is always open for him to come back. He's just THAT good.
Hes now back and they made a single!
@@darkarz5331 I remember the single had millions of UA-cam views in a few days
Feels like John sees no difference between being on stage in front of 80.000 people of sitting on a couch with a camera crew when he is soloing. and thats just great
can't believe this is free
The 2 chord melody just blew my mind. Have been tinkering w this for 2 straight days now and it's so much fun. Such a simple idea that can produce crazy amts of creativity and fun. Thanks so much for this John, you are a legend
Yeah it's great. Mayer does it in his own way. See something like Olivia.
There's just something in the way he plays that just makes you understand. It's better than hearing, like you can feel something.
Its extremely therapeutic for my senses 😍❤❤❤❤❤
*Something in the Way..*
_Hmmmm..._
💯
You feel his sorrow an pain when he plays!!! That's what i always liked about John's guitar playing..🤘
true artist, he's totally into his playing. so dope to be totally immersed into something whatever it may be. you live it that way
I'm imersed into my own penis. I have tried to blow myself countless times.
My condolences
Goddmit I spit my oatmeal all over my phone 😤😤😢 cuz of thattt
Unless it was actual dope, like frusciante a few years before this interview
@@theredhotchilipepperssexof4269 you really think you're that important that someone is going to take the time out of their day to read that essay?
So glad to hear how “second nature” it is for you John to just “mute the strings you don’t want to play” while when I play Can’t Stop it sounds like a school bus running over drunk orchestra
technique isn't natural at first. you just gotta put in the hours and your brain will subconsciously fill in the gaps. don't give up, keep practicing
you will be better with practice don't worry ;)
He said “second nature for me now”, practice makes perfect!
Once you get it it's the easiest thing ever
"I just didn't wanna be straight in any way, so like, Chad and Flea did a lot of experimenting with me in the studio." Lol, I love you John, but this is too hilarious not to mention.
cf
11:15 "so you can sit around and have fun with yourself"
Ignatius Jackson and right after he says “I just didn’t wanna be straight in any way”
😆 geez.
cursed
It’s a 2006 interview yet feels so 94.
Probably the shit quality and editing
😍❤😭
ayr1225 it’s the same couch in the 94 vpro. Just missing the cat and Bowie book...and the movie script/mathematic notebook of course lol
Also because he is so laid down
Kinda feels like the second week of July in 1993 to me but I feel ya
2023 and John still blowing my mind with those riffs
12 years gone and I still feel good coming here again. Love u frusciante
Farhan Alam Me too
Me too 😅😅
he's so simple when he speaks , like if he doesn t know he' s a genius !
HE'S BACK!!!!
I know right??? :DD
He puts soul even into his simplest demos.
Its not simplest
December 15, 2019 JOHN REJOINS RHCP!
Did he actually rejoin?
Unbelievable but yes, he did.
Still admiring him in 2023
My favorite guitarrist!
His riff goes deep inside my veins and my soul, thank you John for making this life so magical. 🖤
As of December 16th 2019..John Fruciante is once again a CHILI PEPPER! 😁💪🏿❤
I’ve been coming back to this video at least once a year since 2013. So much to learn from, even just how his hands are positioned
Lots of people in the world can play guitar. But John can really play the guitar.
John is a true guitar master.
always been a fav song of mine growing up (under the bridge)..rhcp have always been really timeless. love hearing the musical influence of the piece; hendrix/mayfield.. def a nostalgic staple from my childhood!
HE'S BACK!!
What a lesson in not being constrained by a particular genre or style. True artist and a genius of our generation. Can’t wait to hear what comes next. Inspirational guitarist and human being. Love John Frusciante
I could watch him all day. What a player!
turn on subtitles and go to 16:08 even youtube knows a guitar can talk in the hands of John Frusciante
wow. This is such a wonderful thing to have John himself break down" under the bridge". I'm a huge Hendrix fan, and I feel there are very,very few guitarists that have ever really captured that Hendrix style of playing. John not only captures a taste of it he adds his own style. I was attempting to pick this up from the recording, and now I find John has done this !! John thank you so much.
I am stressed and sad. So I came here to calm down en feel happy. He and his music mean so much to me!
Sending hugs🤗
Forget all the acid bs i feel this is Hendrix's true enduring legacy this style of playing. John is a very expressive player with great technique and feel i wish i could play like this.
...all the acid? 😢
John has been my favorite guitarist for basically my entire life but I only started playing guitar last year and now rewatching all the footage of him with the intention to actually learn something adds a whole new dimension to the experience
Ikr
the best lesson i have ever learned , thank you for uploading and thanks to the amazing and best guitarist and musician in the whole universe john frusciante i love you man , john is my idol
jimi hendrix and john frusciante, genius’s in every way and I hope to carry the torch one day
John Frusciante’s legacy will always live on. He’s amazing, inspired me to we’re I’m at today
I loved that he shared his abilities with us and gave technical tips. What a great guy. I want to hear him play and practice all day and whenever. He would be a wonderful person to be around. Just by looking at his joy with the guitar, he makes make smile and be so happy. I would love to spend time with this person, watching and interacting with him. He radiates positivity and lovingkindness. I'm swept.
I remember buying the guitar world mag with the cd of this lesson on it.... good times! So glad he's back!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
John is my hero. His style is so unique. Just play a Chili song with headphones turned up so you can hear every different little thing he adds on top of each other in his songs. Those little things add up to his big sound. Absolutely incredible.
Ladies & Gentleman... the day has come, HE'S BACK!!
I find it really cool when Great Musicians can find time and sit down with their fans and show them how to play their songs. something up close and personal. Then your a fan and your inspired to learn guitar and play like your favorite Musician. Thank You John Frusciante
i come back to this interview every few months, its refreshing really
I have seen this video a million times now, and every time I want to thank the person whose idea it was to make a "how to sound like frusciante"-video with the legend himself instead of a ordinary interview... So thank you whoever it was!
I hope John is healthy and still writing music
He switched to electronic music
He looks good and healthy. But he's into some real garbage music right now
@@erinhand settle down his beats are fire
A quick google search would have told you all you need to know lmao 😂😂😂
@@NickB-md1oy I know but I prefer this way, try to get a conversation going
Holy crap I’m so thankful for this, helped me tremendously
Thanks for sharing this with us John
I’d stay hours and hours watchin’ him!
Can you imagine if John redid this in 4k for 2019
What difference would that make? You can see well enough and hear everything as it is...
Yeah, you would actually be able to see his fingers.
I could watch this every day.
John still comes up with iconic riffs and thats what we love look at under the bridge and cant stop thats what pays the bills there still timeless hes a creative artist talent
And now the KING is back!!
The 9:59 section is haunting…there’s a real lonely eeriness to it with such a HUGE dynamic to it as well. John is one of the very few guitarists out there on the global stage who CREATES the music, not WRITING the music. Guy is incredibly talented and looks at it all
From an entirely different view outside the box
2019 needed that motivation and here i am , let the music flow!
Great vid! Learned how to play the song just be watching. Thanks again!
This man is my therapy at least 3 times a day I escape to his incredible talent! The most talented guitar player ever!
Thank you John. One of my favorite guitar songs from one of my favorite guitar players. I wish he or any of these legends would do formal instruction. I know most of them are to humble but what could be more inspiring or more influential. Anyway thanks for this one John
I never get tired of hearing this song.
So much love and respect I feel for John 🎸☀️
When he plays it the guitar sounds like it’s talking, especially in the outro. Amazing. 😊
His guitarplay makes me feel high. Love his philosophy, got to do that more often.
Wow. Very grateful to have watched this.
Every single note lands perfectly with this one. He's creating magic.
I'm not even a musician but I could listen to this all day
He blends in with the couch
Nice observation
Started watching John's videos about 2 hours ago...I'ma stop for tonight after this one🙏🏼
its so magical to watch him play as well as to listen to
Here is a man to whom the word genius can actually be applied without risk of hyperbole. No one has and no one ever will play like this.
@youtube musicians are edited imbeciles actually quite a few junkies have been genius... Sometimes those people have the hardest time dealing with reality
I'm not sure, you can definitely hear the influence of Jimi Hendrix in fig. 3, especially when slowed down. But a genius he certainly is :)
Jon Ronnquist he’s a musical genius
Hendrix? Lmao.
@@nelsonvontitfuk1471 John has stated Hendrix as an influence many times
most unique technique ive ever and absolutely beautiful
It is a joy listening to what he says, explains and plays.... Let's just listen and be.
It'll take me years to play like this and I may never get there, but I am so glad John exists. His sound and style are his and I can never hope to even approximate something emulating it, but I can be inspired and in my own naive and fumbling way maybe I can someday write something that can lift me the way all his music lifts me.
I remember back in the day when I was a beginner on guitar I would come to this video and replay it over and over until I had copied absolutely everything he was doing as close to exactly like him as I could get.
How in the world did you see where his fingers are?
@@foreverseethe With difficulty. I'd look at where his fingers were on the fret and if I couldn't tell exactly which strings he was holding down, I'd pause the video and try out the different possibilities until what I was playing either matched or sounded close enough to what he was playing in my beginner's mind.
@@MrJCMG As a 30 year old who has played since my fingers could fit a guitar, I had to unlearn a lot of bad habits to be able to match this style. For people who learned correctly this may sound foreign, but its hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
HES BACK BOISSSSS
Lovely guitar. Lovely playing. Lovely tone. Amazing musician.
I remember watching this video back in 2007, this was the reason why I bought a sunburst strat and became a musician. I owe this video my life purpose.
This has been said a million times, but under the bridge is beautiful
He doesn't care how fast, wild or noisy you can be. He's a free soul, and he's flying, and that's all that matters.
Mate you are so brilliant. Cheers for that fantastic insight.
impressive wouldn't be enough..... what a Great Musician and spirit..............I'm a huge fan..........can't get enough of this legend who beat dope and transcended to a higher vibrational density.. omg criminally uderated and a phenom on guitar
their fingers on the guitar are like the stars in the sky, just perfect
You are amazing, master Frusciante
I learned so much from these lessons summer '06. Wasn't online though, had to buy the magazine....learned a lot from all the interviews too. They tracked Stadium Arcadium to tape, right as I upgraded my 4 track tascam to a digital 8 track Fostex. Then the Foo Fighters did ESP&G on tape, and I was bummed I switched to digital.
For people new to recording, the secret is finding the 10 or 12 instruments (drums, elec. drums, perc., clean guitar, dist. guitar, bass, piano, acoustic, synth, vocals, etc.)
Blend up and out from the drums. Keep things pulled back. Double track. No compression. EQ on everything. No excessive effects. Master reverb only. Higher tempo 100+.
You can do this with Ableton, Reaper, Garageband, hardware, free trials, anything. There are a ton of free daws.
Mic your guitars, go direct with bass. Mic a drum kit with overheads, record multiple people singing harmonies into the same mic, add air, cut less and get perfect takes more often.
Tune down a half step.
Sampling has a place.
MIDI is extraordinarily powerful. All you need is a crappy used keyboard with MIDI in/out and a cable.
The VSTs are great.
But trim your shit down. Write music with the same tools over and over so you can develop your sound with those tools.
If you switch tools too often, you'll be good at using lots of tools, but not so good at harnessing the energy to create powerful music.
22 years of guitar. No one ever cared about my rig. Guitar, cable, 2 channel amp.
Everyone is spending too much time being their own Software Support Specialist that they're not sitting down and writing songs, or having experiences to write songs about.
Live your life. Track your music with microphones. Forget about the noise. People will get over it.
Rock n roll is in the heart. Not the sound or the image. It questions itself. People show up for it, pay for it, and consider it a big deal to have live rock music in their backyards.
Write music for the people. Not for their money. Write music in celebration of our existence. Write music that goes into the machine, not out of the machine.
Peace!
Omg I feel super ready to succeed now. Thanks for putting this up!
Genius....truly amazing
His guitar intonation and sound is so good
Wow, amazing! Love his playing
This just so relaxing to listen too
