    INFO: John Frusciante was arguably the most important guitarist for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as they grew famous. Flea, the band's bassist, mentions in many interviews how well he connected with the other members on an almost spiritual level. This statement makes it even more interesting to look up his story and his feats as a guitarist.

    FOR NOAH / POLYPHONIC / ANYONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO:
    I copied a big part of the intro from a video called "How Flea Plays Bass"
    by a channel called Polyphonic. Just like all the other footage and images
    you'll see here, i don't own anything of it. It's merely used for educational
    purposes. I don't see the difference between using footage created by a
    UA-camr and footage created by a videographer in the 90s. Both deserves
    credit. But since "How Flea Plays Bass" was a recently created video, it seems
    like more people reacted negatively to this. My intention was just to honor the
    artist in the video and share some knowledge.

      @@MaynardOwns Yea it depends what kind of top ten list it is, he is easily in the top of mine and many others favorites list like you said, but when it comes to technical ability Hendrix isnt even on the top 10, there is alot of amazing jazz musicians that will blow them both away when it comes to technical ability being able to rip thru every chord, scale, and technique there possibly is. On the other hand when it comes to heart and soul, creativity, and innovation then JF and Hendrix are easily in the top 5. Hendrix is without a doubt by far the most influential guitarist of all time, anyone who tries to dispute that my ears will just automatically shut off to them.

    What I've always loved about Frusciante is the fact that he doesn't show-boat, like most guitarists do, and instead, he plays what is required for the moment (That's why Flea and John have such chemistry. Whenever Flea has the melody, Frusciante supports the music, and vice versa).

    John Frusciante is like the Steve Jobs of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Although not a founding member, he joined the band early on, and put them on the map. Then when he rejoined years later (with his newly found minimalist approach), he took the band to unbelievable heights, and the rest is history!

      @stephentherarabear Have to disagree with ya about the hendrix comment, john could play hendrix's full discography fluidly before joining rhcp, it's like, why they chose him to be in the band. and some his recordings with rhcp are TOTALLY on hendrix's level in terms of technicality/musicianship. see exhibit A: the end of the song Turn It Again. John uses far more restraint than hendrix, but always for the higher purpose of what he's trying to convey in the song; like, just because he's not shredding the whole time doesn't mean he couldn't if he wanted to.
      I am biased though, Frusciante changed my life, and basically got me into understanding music as an art form that can rock your soul to the core of it's very being lol. I've been playing guitar for ~15 years now (fuck i'm old lol) and it's a huge part of who I am...might not totally be that way if it wasn't for John. I totally consider him to be Hendrix 2.0. Think about it this way, Hendrix passed away when he was 27, and John is turning 60 soon, so just the cumulative experience of playing guitar WAY longer than Hendrix was able to, puts him in another category imo.

    John Fruciante is one of the finest guitar player ever....his contribution to guitar music is in similar level of Jimmy Page, Mark Knofler, Slash, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore in context of contribution to a song.
    His solo in Scar tissue is an achievement of humanity, as it is one of the finest musical expression of emotions in history...it is like the entire human consciousness has precipitated towards that moment of 28 seconds of perfection.

      Paweł L Yeah, you're probably referencing the boat interview so I'll expand on that a bit. Anthony came to John with a riff that was very basic and was like "this is cool" and John didn't think so until he thought on it some more and decided the rhythm was nice to it, he changed up the melody and expanded on it to make it what it is now. I love the architecture that goes on behind songs like this.

      Anthony came up with the rhythm, but not the actual riff per se. He was massing it out on the low e string, without knowing how to play guitar. John laughed it off at the time, but what Anthony played stuck in his head rhythmically. He then played it in key, not just bashing random notes on guitar, and we got the awesome riff.

    One of the only guitarists that I can think of that actually deserves to make all of the different 'faces' full of emotion when playing. Another thing is he's not afraid to explore all directions and experiment. Simply put, most guitarists play the guitar to alter and bring out their emotions. John uses his emotion to bring out the guitar and alter it. He doesn't play guitar chords and notes. He plays raw emotion.

      I see many people bashing John's playing because they can't comprehend that the guitar can be used for more than just shredding scales and sweeping arpeggios. Who knows, any that may come across this will finally get what makes him, and the band as a whole, so great.

    • @jasonadams2364
      @jasonadams2364 6 років тому

      I couldn’t agree more. I’m 37yrs old, picked up a guitar 31yrs ago and haven’t sat it down. I think the video explained what John does best, and that is saying a lot with very little. Music is written for everyone, not just musicians. Take Ingwie for example, he’s technically so advanced and while I respect him, his music doesn’t touch my soul, as I’m sure most non musicians would have a similar sentiment. What John does is easy while at the same time very difficult. Personally I would rather hear that any day. Also take into account that when your back by such an amazing rhythm section as flea and Chad, you have the room to sit back and play sparsely. Soul to squeeze is a great example of flea’s bass being out more in the front with John painting in the details that bring it together nicely

    Great work as usual Lie. John is one of my favorite guitar players; he plays so evocatively with so much passion. A true inspiration. As for which artist/band would be cool to see next, I would love to see a video detailing the significance/impact of a cult classic such as Velvet Underground, Big Star, or The Replacements, and how these artist(s) hovered in relative obscurity while igniting a massively influential reputation. Keep up the awesome work man, it's been awesome to witness your channel grow in popularity and reception as it is much deserved.

It's easy to see that in the way he's animated while playing. And talking about the next video topic, there's a high possibility i might do The Velvet Underground. Have gotten a lot of requests of that one. It also ties together with the videos i've already made about Bowie and Iggy who were highly influenced by them 🤘 Take care man.

    I think what makes Frusciante great , as with all my favorite guitar players,is that although he may not be as "technically advanced" as some, I can "FEEL" what he's playing in just that one note. I consider that far more valuable than any other musical ability/talent. I think it's great that possibly he doesn't know every little "scale" that tends to be robotic,cold,stale and utterly useless...he creates moods and conveys feeling and emotion above technicalities. Bravo! Viva Frusciante!🤘✊👊

      Yeah... he can definitely play some incredibly technical parts when he wants to, but I would agree with the video that that's not the aspect of his playing that he's most known for. In my opinion his real genius is his ability to pare the guitar back to be very simple yet extremely powerful both melodically and rhythmically. He's got a fluidity to his playing where he seems to be unconsciously hyper aware (if that makes any sense) of what everyone else is doing and he steps up to the forefront and then steps back into the shadows so seamlessly within the context of everything else that's going on.

    The best guitarist in existence- period. Listen to every song RHCP did during his time on their albums. Then pick one- maybe Scar Tissue- and find as many live versions as you can. It’s never the same song because he’ll change it; improvise... his solos reflect his emotion at the time. His guitar work live is MASTERFUL. The way that Flea and Chad Smith- also at the very very top of their respective instruments (maybe even the best)- have to play at a level 20 to Jan with him- is insane. I don’t give a fuck about the words in their songs or ANY AK singing. Fuck- just make them an instrumental band! His guitar speaks directly to a person.

    I think John is one of the greatest guitarist mostly underrated as guitar hero, every note he play sound like ... John Frusciante and this is not a matter of techiqe; is a matter of love, spirit and soul, is magik, is music ...

    For God's sake, it's not Frusciant-EE, it's Frusciant-E (Italian "e", like the english "e" for "bed")

      Probably because he was talking about the *dead* Kennedy's and did a Google image search that led him to a picture of the grateful *dead* . just a theory
