LargePeas was that meant to be a pun also?😂 because they definitely are priceless in value but also priceless to watch them........ just me? Okay I'm weird goodnight everyone
Oh, nice video. I guess i was doing his wah lick wrongly, so thanks for your help. The next lesson will be songs right? I have some suggestions xP. His final jam at chorzow polland is pretty good, also his solo songs like Look on and unreachable are great!. If you want, you can teach us also how to play super songs like get on top, parallel universe (live? :D), throw way your television + don't you ever leave and funky monks :3. Thanks for your great help and i can't wait for the next lesson :D
Is there any tips that you would give to someone looking to pursue a career in music? Not sure if you'd be willing to answer this but are your gigs your only source of income and what would an income be like if I was to only rely on music? I understand if you don't want to answer them questions but I thought I'd ask as I am trying to find out as much info as possible about how I could live and make an income playing music. And what are your thoughts on college for guitar? Thanks in advance J
Unfortunately in this day and age its nearly impossible to make a living out of music without having to literally do everything. Gigging and making and selling music no longer give you anything that could be considered an income that you can live off. Plus i struggle to even get gigs. My advice to make a living out of music is to do anything and everything you can from teaching, repairs, guitar setups, gigs, session work. Basically anything you can get your hands on really. The music business is a mess and its only getting harder and harder to get a foot in the door so to say. I wish you all the luck in the world.
Dave Simpson wow thanks for the inspiration dave😐😂 just kidding. Sounds like the music industry is really a shambles at the minute. Which really is a shame when there are extremely talented musicians out there, such as yourself, who may never get the opportunity to show their talents to the world. It's all a money game out there it seems. Very disheartening to look at from the outside.... anyway that's my rant over. I wish you all the luck in the world also. Continue what you're doing on UA-cam Dave. You are very entertaining and I hope your channel continues to grow because you really do put a lot of effort into making great videos. All the best from a fan in Ireland. Jake 👍🏼
i havea problem with building solo. in my mind i am playing solo like john but i cant bring it out TT. so i recently studied about 'theory'. but i dont know...make me more confuse and difficult to play guitar. what do you think dave. what is your method to play guitar?
"okay a lotta people have asked about the wah wah thing where he where john does this WAHHWDDLYWAHHWDDLYWAHHWDDLYWAH!!!! yeah that thing" lol the way you just effortlessly go into shredding makes me sad
Can't Stop riff (keep wrist relaxed and GO SLOW! SLowly build speed): 1:15 If You Have to Ask (FUNK!): 15:03 CRAZY WAHWAH TECHNIQUES! (Dani California solo): 20:46 Thanks, Dave! I appreciate all the time that goes into these videos and lessons!
Dave, you're giving people of the tube false hope. You know just as well as I do that the only way to play like Frusciante is to find those Crossroads once traveled by Robert Johnson and be willing to do some soul SELLING; I mean soul searching. ;)
I'm going to start teaching songs in my next video but i am going to dedicate an entire video to gear individually. If that makes any sense. Like one vid will be just on the DS2 another the WH10 and so ons. :) Thank you for watching. :)
I didn’t notice the genius of Frusciante until the 90’s were over and John and a few other musicians really stood out as conduits for the magic in the music. I love how you play. Your hands on a Strat make all the right sounds. Thank you for sharing your lessons and telling good stories and playing really soulful guitar
Absolutely fabulous lesson, Dave! Finally I can try that intro from Can't Stop. John is the reason why I picked up the guitar and your videos share so much light on his playing. Thank you for your time, patience and energy. Please don't stop sharing good stuff like this with us! Keep it up, mate! Cheers!
Hi Dave - long time viewer here. Super appreciative for all of your content. Thanks so much. I'm still really struggling with the crazy wah sound and was wondering if you had any comments to help me specifically in relation to the picking. Are you going down, down, up? Then restart. Or down up down, then restart? How are you picking the strings? Any info would be appreciated.
it took me 2-3 weeks of 2hrs daily mindnumbing practicing just the can't stop riff to get it down. So patience and persistence is really key. The first day you sit there thinking there is no way you're ever going to sound like the real thing. 2hrs of hitting 1 note... arrgghh... but it's so satisfying when you start the next day and you feel the small but gradual progress. I was so much looking forward to the next session because I KNEW I would be a bit closer than yesterday and keep getting closer. I play it the same way John does for the most part, except for the low E string where I switch to your way. I still need to loosen up the right hand a bit more. Also worth noting that when playing the 7-9 thing the second time, it's important to hit all strings muted 1 time between the 7 and 9, to keep the groove on... Anyway, this is the best video out there for learning Can't stop. Thanks Dave!
Dave, we will never be grateful enough for all the tools and advices you give us. Thanks sooooooo much to make John`s style and songs seem posible to play although it could take time. Dissolve(from DC EP)is a very beautiful song id like to learn how to play or The Sides (from Ataxia)and of course end jams like Chorzow(2007) or Wercher(2006). Greets from Argentina :)
Thank you so very much. That means a lot to me. I will certainly get to dissolve at somepoint and certainly some of the ataxia stuff. Greetings from the uk and thank you again. :)
Funny how people like to play cant stop in different ways. I remember watching a tutorial, but I didn't like ir that Way, so I did it the way John does it. I didn't know until now.
Hey Dave, I might be wrong but I honestly think that most of the times John frets the 8 fret on the low E string by his thumb not his middle finger. Either way I could be mistaken
5 years later I`ve tried come back to that lesson, and finally there is a hope for me to learn that :D Thank you again Dave for that lessons, when I saw them you had 5-10t subscribers, I do hope you will reach 100t level very soon !
I really like you :), Great Video again You could try and teach Ramparts (all 4 guitars) or try to recreate the Sound of the I could have lied solos which to my knowledge was a clean guitar which was overdriven with the sound board / mixer
The first solo in I could have lied is my favourite solo from John. It's not impressivly difficult but the tone is awesome. Maybe you play the solo to a backingtrack? I guess without the chords in the background it ll sound a little naked...
Ooo! I'll be looking forward to this! I'm not sure that the second solo isn't even better - truly miserable-making! I have already started to learn the first one, but can find no lesson to the second.
Hey Dave can you add "can't stop lesson" keywords in your description/title so this video comes up when someone is looking for a tutorial? I hope my comment helps the search too
I learned Can't Stop before I saw this video and I wish I had knew about it sooner but damn its worth it anyway cause u always learn something new with your teaching. Thank u again Dave lol idk how many Ive had thank you for your videos but I really feel like appreciating what u are doing cuz u are really helping me out with my playing this days
Did you relic that Strat yourself? If so, can you explain your technique and how you did the same wear patterns as John's '62 strat? I'm currently building a sunburst relic strat and I want to imitate those same wear patterns. I've seen it done different ways but I want to do it as accurately and as easily as possible.
I did relic the strat myself yeps. I use craft knives to get the wear as precise as I could. I basically just scrape away the finish. It took a long long time but a really sharpe craft knife worked the best. :)
Thanks! If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send pictures of the front/back of the guitar? I'd like to see all the wear marks. I can't find very many pictures of his guitar that clearly show all the wear marks.
Love you Dave no homo, I see my self in you alot, started when i was 17 and now im 18, so only been playing a year and a half. I can play alot of johns stuff like can't stop quite well, just trying to get really fast at lead so i can shred like john! I'll get there one day. Keep these vids up mate! :)
do you think you can do a video that lists like 10 songs to get Johns Style and why... also for hendrix. i think it would be interesting to hear your opinion on it.
I don't think its possible to narrow it down to 10. I feel you need to learn as much as you can of that one artist if you want to play like them. You have to get inside there head and hear what they hear so to say and that takes years of learning everything they do. Sorry. I know this isn't very helpful.
dave it would be so dope if you taught us scar tissue, slane castle style. and thank you for the awesome videos, they have really helped with my playing
My problem when muting like John and everyone else who plays this, is that I get harmonics off the mutes. Harmonics destroy the percussive strike. For example in Can't stop, when I play the "E" note (9th fret on the G string) I mute the D string on the 9th and it's harmonic city. But they crop up everywhere that's just one example. Strat, bridge pickup, medium gain EL84 amp. RINNNNG
Thank you very much. I am going to teach Look On at somepoint as its one of my favourite John songs but i am going to try and show you how to improvise your own solo instead of what John plays as he is improvising anyway. :)
Yeah right, "play like Frusciante " He is irreplaceable, the "real thing" among a sea of wannabes. Tell me one musician that can write the like's of a song like "Savior"!
No one can replace John but that doesn't mean people are not going to try. And at the end of the day he's a hero to many, Including me and theres nothing wrong with wanting to be like him or play like him. John was a Hillel wannabe at somepoint. Jimi Hendrix was a Buddy Guy and BB King wannabe at somepoint. Many of our heroes go the same route and thats the point. You find yourself when you fail to sound like your heroes. Thank you for watching. :)
Dave Simpson That's true, we start off aspiring to be one of these heroes. Heroes tend to disappear. Have you seen him play 'Savior' at Canada Blue Line? The solo has Hendrix written all over it, but tell me, Who writes a song like Savior and This Velvet Glove?
hi dave i bought an orange cr120c and i put it on the settings you suggested to sound like John but it doesn't sound like yours, it doesn't have the bighty breakup sound, just wondering if you still use the same settings or if you've changed them since your john video. Thanks heaps, keep up the good videos your a true inspiration and have got me right back into guitar, im still waiting on my 60's RW strat ;)
Can’t stop - the second bit of those two melody notes are both upstroke not up down like you mentioned. You were playing. It up up but you said up down. Just for those that are confused. Great videos btw! Have learned heaps of great tips from you on Johns playing.
It is the most comprehensive course about Jimi/Frusciante technique I have seen so far. And it is free. Respect! You helped me find my own style of playing.
They are great and if any of mine die thats what i'll be going for but you don't need them to sound like John really. Plus John only ever had the SSL's in one of his guitars until stadium arcadium era. :)
This was amazing, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to now binge through your other videos of the series. If you have some time, can you also make a video teaching the "riff outro" of Can't Stop you played at the beginning?
this is probably the best video on his shreddy wah technique i've found! i've been considering doing a video on it myself because i can't find any out there. there are so many different ways to do it. sometimes he'll do what you're doing and pick precisely between those two strings, other times he'll tremolo pick/strum fast and add the high e too. i've never seen him too the traditional sweep picking method of doing it. there are also of course other repetitive licks like that he does which are great
Thanks you so much Dave! I am looking for accurate beats of john's super fast pattern. I want to practice accurate beats with metronome. Is that a kind of thing which can be drawn on tabs? It sounds like a set of four notes played continuously. 21:39
As we all know John is a very expressive guitarist particularly in his solos. If you hear the solos on the 91/92 Blood Sugar tour something is definItely up eg you can tell he wasn't happy. Could you tell the same with the Stadium Arcadium tour? I don't know the background as to why they got in a second guitarist (Josh) to fill the sound because they never did before.
You could tell John was bored during the last few Chili's shows of the Stadium tour. He just looks fed up and mainly stays near his pedal board and his face is very different to earlier shows. Thank you for watching. :)
Hello! Great, great, great channel!! Really glad I found you. I'm wondering if you might feel like do some kind of lesson/cover of can't stop and the interlude (or what it's called). The thing before the solo. There is a point about 3 minutes into the song where he plays and picking notes that sounds great, but I can't figure out a good way to even start learning it the right way. That would be awesome. I haven't seen it in any of your videos I think, so if you think it would be fun that would be much appriciated :)
Hey there. These JF videos are wonderful. Thanks so much for doing them, and PLEASE keep em coming. A quick question. When you do the wah shred thing you show at the end, what it the picking pattern you use while doing it? Down up down up down etc? It is so fast when you do it that I can't make out how you pick it. Thanks so much, good sir
Loved the vid Dave! Maybe you could teach Wet Sand or Quixoticalixer next? I think both have signature John sounds to them. Ps, would love to see a video on a little bit of his theory. Keep up the sick work mate!!
Thank you very much indeed. I taught the basics of wet sand in episode 2 but will come back to it to show all the parts and whats nots. Theory lessons are coming to. :)
Awesome video was always Dave! John is a great school actually! I can't remember seeing myself practicing hours and hours to achieve the muting right hand technique and when my friends asked me how to do it I'd say "I have no idea how I'm doing it, it just happened" If you watch tons of RHCP jams and concerts you will get the sense of groove and you will also learn how to jam, it will become instinct. That's why they are my favorite band.
Dave, on the Can't Stop riff when hitting notes on the G string for the second time in slowmo you hit em up/down, but at normal tempo you do up/up? Up Down doesn't seem right, or does it?
Awesome!! So cool to know someone else out there is also a passionate fan of Frusciante. Thank you for this series dude!! Please keep em coming, I'm exited to see you go through stuff like Before the Beginning or Look On. You are really good breaking it down. I wish you could take a request and do a "How to play like Mike Einziger". Thanks again!!!!
You're right. Several months ago, I realized there isn't a single 'fast' guitar part in the Californication album (except Around the World intro, which is still playable). Hitting the right notes to form a nice simple melody makes me emotional in a good way.
I knew can't stop and i knew how to do the crazy wah thing although i often like to add in the 10th fret of the high e together with the 10th fret of the b string when i do it instead of just the g string and the b string. I basically strum all the three highest strings but the two ways basically sound the same anyways. The thing i really got out of this video was the if you have to ask riff. I knew the chord and that but i was really struggling with the rhythm but not anymore, so thank you!
I was waitting for the lesson , ty dave , this series are best lessons ever one question , i know you said amp and pedals configuration in first video , but now ,to play cant stop and if u have to ask you are in overdrive chanel rigth ? not using ds2 pedal ?
You should make a patreon or something these videos are priceless
LargePeas was that meant to be a pun also?😂 because they definitely are priceless in value but also priceless to watch them........ just me? Okay I'm weird goodnight everyone
Possibly. I'm not sure. Thank you for enjoying the vids. :)
Where did you get your profile picture from, I have been looking for it for so long.
If you learn Can't Stop, you can also do JF's version of New Dawn Fades by Joy Division...very similar riff
You just made my weekend buddy. Thanks!
Thank you very much and so happy to hear that. :)
Awesome Video Keep it Up:)
Thank you very much and i shall do my best. :)
You are so gooddd !!! I cry 😫😫😫😫😫
Thank you very much but please don't cry. : )
Oh, nice video. I guess i was doing his wah lick wrongly, so thanks for your help.
The next lesson will be songs right? I have some suggestions xP. His final jam at chorzow polland is pretty good, also his solo songs like Look on and unreachable are great!. If you want, you can teach us also how to play super songs like get on top, parallel universe (live? :D), throw way your television + don't you ever leave and funky monks :3.
Thanks for your great help and i can't wait for the next lesson :D
Thank you very much indeed. :)

Day made :')
Very very happy to hear that. :)
"okay a lotta people have asked about the wah wah thing where he where john does this WAHHWDDLYWAHHWDDLYWAHHWDDLYWAH!!!! yeah that thing"
lol the way you just effortlessly go into shredding makes me sad
if anyone was struggling, I personally felt that fretting the 5th on the A string was easier than an open D in the Can't Stop riff.
Yeah me too. I always feel like Im better of moving my wrist slightly rather then risking not playing D properly
I love that you play a lot of the Slane's Castle versions of the riffs! True Frusciante lover, great to see others love his music as much as i do :)
:)
I came to play like John Frusciante and got Monty Python as a bonus.
Can't Stop riff (keep wrist relaxed and GO SLOW! SLowly build speed): 1:15
If You Have to Ask (FUNK!): 15:03
CRAZY WAHWAH TECHNIQUES! (Dani California solo): 20:46
Thanks, Dave! I appreciate all the time that goes into these videos and lessons!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. : )
Dave, you're giving people of the tube false hope. You know just as well as I do that the only way to play like Frusciante is to find those Crossroads once traveled by Robert Johnson and be willing to do some soul SELLING; I mean soul searching. ;)
aMaNDa thA gOd I gotta find a soul to squeeze first ;)
aMaNDa thA gOd well said
:) That is correct. Sorry about that. :)
Yes!! New episode! Next video about the gear? :)))
I'm going to start teaching songs in my next video but i am going to dedicate an entire video to gear individually. If that makes any sense. Like one vid will be just on the DS2 another the WH10 and so ons. :) Thank you for watching. :)
Oh, that's awesome!
Sir Psycho Sexy please!!!!!!!! That outro is sick
:)
Thank you very much. :)
I didn’t notice the genius of Frusciante until the 90’s were over and John and a few other musicians really stood out as conduits for the magic in the music. I love how you play. Your hands on a Strat make all the right sounds. Thank you for sharing your lessons and telling good stories and playing really soulful guitar
long awaited video on amazing music.
Sorry it took so long. :)
dude you are amazinnnnn
Great video Dave, thank you very much. You are a great inspiration.
Thank you very very much indeed. :)
He uses a moduler Synthesiser in a lot of his music and even in Dani California. That's part of his sound
Absolutely fabulous lesson, Dave! Finally I can try that intro from Can't Stop. John is the reason why I picked up the guitar and your videos share so much light on his playing. Thank you for your time, patience and energy. Please don't stop sharing good stuff like this with us! Keep it up, mate! Cheers!
Thank you very very much indeed. :)
I think of that pent lick as a jimmy page thing. but these videos are so awesome, Im excited at how many there are. so dedicated
Thank you very much. : )
Hi Dave - long time viewer here. Super appreciative for all of your content. Thanks so much.

This guy is some guitar teacher. Brilliant video
Thank you very much indeed. :)
hello david !! awesoooooooome video again !!!
i wanna ask u.. what are your amp settings to make this video?
I learned Can't Stop before I saw this video and I wish I had knew about it sooner but damn its worth it anyway cause u always learn something new with your teaching. Thank u again Dave lol idk how many Ive had thank you for your videos but I really feel like appreciating what u are doing cuz u are really helping me out with my playing this days
Thank you. : )
Your the best you deserve to your the world your the best
Did you relic that Strat yourself? If so, can you explain your technique and how you did the same wear patterns as John's '62 strat?

Man this funk riff... it is sooo hard to get it right.
Love you Dave no homo, I see my self in you alot, started when i was 17 and now im 18, so only been playing a year and a half. I can play alot of johns stuff like can't stop quite well, just trying to get really fast at lead so i can shred like john! I'll get there one day. Keep these vids up mate! :)
Thank you very much and you will indeed get there one day. It takes time but you'll get there. :)
Elliot McClean me too except I started at 14 and now I’m 15 lol. How r u now?
I start at 18 and now I m 19 now :) still practicing the wah shredding
do you think you can do a video that lists like 10 songs to get Johns Style and why... also for hendrix. i think it would be interesting to hear your opinion on it.
I don't think its possible to narrow it down to 10. I feel you need to learn as much as you can of that one artist if you want to play like them.

dave it would be so dope if you taught us scar tissue, slane castle style. and thank you for the awesome videos, they have really helped with my playing
I was planning on showing that version at some point. Thank you so much and so happy to hear that. :)
Dave how get the crunchy clean tone of frusciante , with pedals or the amp ????
I use my amp in these videos but you can use a overdrive pedal as well. :)
hey idk if you still read comments on vids from 4 years ago lol but my hands are too small to do the muting with my thumb any tips?
Sadly it just a case of finding your own way. Keep at it and something will find you.
What kinda of effect pedal are you using here? Boss DS-2?
At the end i am using the Boss DS2 and the Ibanez WH10 wah. Other than that its just my amp. :)
My problem when muting like John and everyone else who plays this, is that I get harmonics off the mutes. Harmonics destroy the percussive strike. For example in Can't stop, when I play the "E" note (9th fret on the G string) I mute the D string on the 9th and it's harmonic city. But they crop up everywhere that's just one example. Strat, bridge pickup, medium gain EL84 amp. RINNNNG
Yahoo !
Thank you. :)
I play the can't stop riff with my middle finger on the 5th fret of the A string
john frusciante plays it with his thumb try that to mute the a string
20:44 is where he stops talking about Can't Stop/Muting Technique if you already know those stuff and starts talking about wah wah stuff.
Awesome! My recommendation? Central or Look On. Including solos! That's a good challenge haha
Thank you very much. I am going to teach Look On at somepoint as its one of my favourite John songs but i am going to try and show you how to improvise your own solo instead of what John plays as he is improvising anyway. :)
Looooovely!
Yeah right, "play like Frusciante " He is irreplaceable, the "real thing" among a sea of wannabes. Tell me one musician that can write the like's of a song like "Savior"!

Thanks heaps, keep up the good videos your a true inspiration and have got me right back into guitar, im still waiting on my 60's RW strat ;)
Can’t stop - the second bit of those two melody notes are both upstroke not up down like you mentioned. You were playing. It up up but you said up down. Just for those that are confused. Great videos btw! Have learned heaps of great tips from you on Johns playing.
Hi Dave, can u tell me something about Johns Amp Settings? Does he use a overdrive for can't stop?
thx....
That john wah technique lick. Sounds very Jimmy page the song remains the same inspired. I love it with the wah
How about a Before The Beginning lesson?
I'll get round to that. :)
on the d string part could u play it on the 5th fret?
Yesss
loving these videos man keep up the good work :)
Thank you very much and i shall do my best. :)
It is the most comprehensive course about Jimi/Frusciante technique I have seen so far. And it is free. Respect! You helped me find my own style of playing.
is it an idea to get the ss1 pickups on my guitar?
They are great and if any of mine die thats what i'll be going for but you don't need them to sound like John really. Plus John only ever had the SSL's in one of his guitars until stadium arcadium era. :)
This was amazing, thank you so much! I'm looking forward to now binge through your other videos of the series. If you have some time, can you also make a video teaching the "riff outro" of Can't Stop you played at the beginning?
Awesome!
During the wah lick are you using alternate picking?
this is probably the best video on his shreddy wah technique i've found! i've been considering doing a video on it myself because i can't find any out there. there are so many different ways to do it. sometimes he'll do what you're doing and pick precisely between those two strings, other times he'll tremolo pick/strum fast and add the high e too. i've never seen him too the traditional sweep picking method of doing it. there are also of course other repetitive licks like that he does which are great
Thanks you so much Dave!
I am looking for accurate beats of john's super fast pattern. I want to practice accurate beats with metronome.
Is that a kind of thing which can be drawn on tabs? It sounds like a set of four notes played continuously. 21:39
I came here for “John Funk” and by jove I got it!! Awesome : )
Yay! Absolutely love this series!
Thank you very very much. : )
are all these down strokes? for cant stop
No. Up and down. : )
I keep coming back to try the can’t stop riff I will get it one day cheers Dave

Are you related to Simon Pegg?
Not that i know of. :)
591
I don't understand half of the words, and this is still the best guitar lesson series on UA-cam.
Love ya Dave. Fantastic player and you've taught me much :)
Teach Bedroom lick, please :)
yeah please
I shall get to it. :)
Dave, do you think It's better to set the pickups lower or higher to get Fruciante's tone?
@@TheCraftero lower
Amazing! !!! loved it!!!
Thank you very much. :)
We all know what this means........ THEORY NEXT VIDEO!!!!! Yessssss been waiting to UP my game with a bitta theory....... great video Dave
Thank you very much for watching but next vid is going to be a song then we are going to dive into theory. :)
Is that a jazz III pick Dave ?
Its a 60mm dunlop pick. What John uses. :)
Super Wah!
Indoodles. :)
As we all know John is a very expressive guitarist particularly in his solos. If you hear the solos on the 91/92 Blood Sugar tour something is definItely up eg you can tell he wasn't happy. Could you tell the same with the Stadium Arcadium tour? I don't know the background as to why they got in a second guitarist (Josh) to fill the sound because they never did before.
You could tell John was bored during the last few Chili's shows of the Stadium tour. He just looks fed up and mainly stays near his pedal board and his face is very different to earlier shows. Thank you for watching. :)
Is this buckethead
Sadly not. : )
Hello! Great, great, great channel!! Really glad I found you. I'm wondering if you might feel like do some kind of lesson/cover of can't stop and the interlude (or what it's called). The thing before the solo. There is a point about 3 minutes into the song where he plays and picking notes that sounds great, but I can't figure out a good way to even start learning it the right way. That would be awesome. I haven't seen it in any of your videos I think, so if you think it would be fun that would be much appriciated :)
Thankyou very much indeed and i shall indeed cover can't stop at somepoint for you. :)
Hey there. These JF videos are wonderful. Thanks so much for doing them, and PLEASE keep em coming. A quick question. When you do the wah shred thing you show at the end, what it the picking pattern you use while doing it? Down up down up down etc? It is so fast when you do it that I can't make out how you pick it. Thanks so much, good sir
Thank you very much indeed and the picking pattern is Down, up , down. Thank you again. :)
thank you DAVE !!!!!!!
Thank you. :)
Loved the vid Dave! Maybe you could teach Wet Sand or Quixoticalixer next? I think both have signature John sounds to them. Ps, would love to see a video on a little bit of his theory. Keep up the sick work mate!!
Thank you very much indeed. I taught the basics of wet sand in episode 2 but will come back to it to show all the parts and whats nots. Theory lessons are coming to. :)
How did you get that twangy sound on 0:05
Awesome video was always Dave!
John is a great school actually! I can't remember seeing myself practicing hours and hours to achieve the muting right hand technique and when my friends asked me how to do it I'd say "I have no idea how I'm doing it, it just happened"
If you watch tons of RHCP jams and concerts you will get the sense of groove and you will also learn how to jam, it will become instinct. That's why they are my favorite band.
Thank you very much indeed. :)
Many thanks for tutorial, Dave! Do you planning to make video about how to play famous "badroom lick" ? Thats will be just soooo coool ) great chanel)
Thank you very much indeed and i do intend to get round to how to play the Bedroom lick at somepoint. :)
hi thanks very much for all your help, you are are the most accurate frusciante fanatic on youtube!
Thank you very much indeed. That mean a lot to me. :)
This video popped up while playing the 'Bedroom Lick' lol . Couldn't be happier , thanks!
Awesome. Thank you very much. :)
How about a tutorial for the best "diddly dums" of all -> the outro of any version (live or studio) of Sir Psycho Sexy??
I shall get to Sir Psycho soonish. :)
Dave, on the Can't Stop riff when hitting notes on the G string for the second time in slowmo you hit em up/down, but at normal tempo you do up/up? Up Down doesn't seem right, or does it?
I honestly don't know. I tend not to think about it as long as it sounds right. :)
really appreciate your work dave... my request for next lesson would be something like scar tissue live solo licks and improvising ideas
Thank you very much and thats on my list. :)
Awesome!! So cool to know someone else out there is also a passionate fan of Frusciante. Thank you for this series dude!!
Please keep em coming, I'm exited to see you go through stuff like Before the Beginning or Look On. You are really good breaking it down. I wish you could take a request and do a "How to play like Mike Einziger". Thanks again!!!!
Thank you very much indeed. :)
I'm terrible when it comes to speed
Speed isn't everything. Play how your comfortable and everything else will come in time. Theres never any rush. :)
You're right. Several months ago, I realized there isn't a single 'fast' guitar part in the Californication album (except Around the World intro, which is still playable). Hitting the right notes to form a nice simple melody makes me emotional in a good way.
I knew can't stop and i knew how to do the crazy wah thing although i often like to add in the 10th fret of the high e together with the 10th fret of the b string when i do it instead of just the g string and the b string. I basically strum all the three highest strings but the two ways basically sound the same anyways. The thing i really got out of this video was the if you have to ask riff. I knew the chord and that but i was really struggling with the rhythm but not anymore, so thank you!
Thankyou for watching and happy you liked it. :)
thank you so much for the awesome lessons!!! always a pleasure! ...saw the peppers yesterday in zurich (of course with josh and not john on guitar🤔)
Thank you so very much indeed. :)
I was waitting for the lesson , ty dave , this series are best lessons ever

Thank you very much indeed. Happy you like the lessons.
I am indeed just using the dirty channel for the CR120. No pedals on for this sound. :)

Thank you very much. :)
