Josh was originally not a guitar player, he was a drummer. He learned almost every previous rhcp repertoire to fit in and play live. I don't think Frusciante would do the same with Josh's two records. Josh committed to his job in rhcp consistly for 10 straight years. The amount of respect I have for Josh grew so much over time.
Guitar is Josh's THIRD instrument
Drums first
Keyboards/Piano second
Man's heck of an instrumentalist
ofc he would have learned all that, he learned all peppers albums by ear prior to his entry
He played the drums for some of frusciante solo albums
Frusciante said he won’t play josh’s songs live, which considering josh learned other rhcp songs is quite disrespectful.
@@Aperez06. Frusciante will barely play "My Friends"- a song from Navarro era of the band- live also. I love Frusciante, and he was the man that inspired me to pick up guitar; but he's disrespectful to the men that filled his position when he was battling drug addiction.
I feel so bad for Josh for all the shit he gets just for not being Fruscainte. People forget that John is the one who left the band. The Chili's didn't kick him out or anything, they just needed a replacement guitarist, and Josh did an incredible job for 10 years. Songs like Feasting on the Flowers, Sick Love, Dark Necessities (Obviously), and especially Goodbye Angels. I genuinely think Goodbye Angels is one of their best songs ever.
Meet Me at the Corner is a masterpiece, to me.
Strange Man. Victorian Machinery. Such good tunes. Shame the guys kicked him out.
@@hanburgundy4317 We're all glad John Frusciante came back, it was so incredible. He looked to me even more reclusive and retired from rock than Zack de la Rocha was between Rage's forced hiatuses. Even if I dig many Josh's songs and I'm a longtime One Hot Minute supporter against Frusciante's hardcore fans, I'm so happy Froosh came back. I'm not a fan of The Getaway production, especially for the drum sound. I applaud Josh's dedication, his willingness to play any song from any era, but his style was always too bizarre, effects-oriented, to me. It's all a matter of taste, anyway.
Factory of Faith, Ethiopia, Did I let you know.
Goodbye angels is one of their greatest
Josh's solo work on songs like Dark Necessities is full of feeling and tasteful restraint. No one else is John Frusciante, but Josh is clearly a very soulful artist in his own right.
"tasteful restraint" is the buzzword every normie uses to sound like they think they know what they're talking about when it comes to guitar playing
@@Stix_Zidinia careful. Your ego is sounding bigger than John's
My favorite songs from the Klinghoffer era are the ones most people never heard because they were on the b-sides of I'm with You. They got released piecemeal after the album and way later as a compilation called I'm Beside You. I remember reading somewhere that those songs only got released at all because Josh pushed for it. Personally I think the b-sides should have been the album and most of the album should have been the b-sides.
@@bodiwire well aren't you the special hipster snowflake
The Klinghoffer Era was a lot of fun. Some terrific music.
Most guitar players don’t hate Josh, they hate clickbait
Clearly you don't know that HATE on this channel stands for
Having Appropriation That's Earned
How could *anybody* hate Josh Klinghoffer? He's such a nice guy
They dont, click bait title
HATE = Having Appreciation That’s Earned
@@joshuacollins7639
Lame.
@@hinjurock70 Why do you tell me “lame”? It’s not as if it’s my saying. I’m just letting them know that’s what the guy doing these UA-cam videos says that it stands for.
@@joshuacollins7639
And I was just saying that acronym is lame.
"I don't need to hate one to love the other. I can love both Klinghoffer and Frusciante and what they've done for one of my favorite bands of all time"
NAILED IT
I'd urge everybody to watch this footage from 2007 of Frusciante and Klinghoffer playing together in the Peppers: ua-cam.com/video/XhrCbZBAC7M/v-deo.html
@@greenleaf4127 this is one of my favorites concerts from Stadium Arcadium Tour
Sad to see Josh leave after his last album, and I’ve been a John/Hendrix fan forever. Blood Sugar Sex Magic and The Getaway are my two favorites of the band. Hard not to add the Californication album.
I can't love josh, he butchered and ruined a lot of Frusciantes great work. Always seemed more concerned with jumping around on stage as much as he could instead of playing well. For shantae could easily do both at the same time but Josh was a sloppy bad replacement very much greater guitarist than he can ever dream to be.
I'm in stadium arcadium was a masterpiece. They will never top it. Can you even try to imagine Josh pulling off something as incredible as stadium arcadium was? He literally does not have the skill to pull off even half of the amazing guitar work that was all over that double album.
@@TorrentFiend10Stadium Arcadium is a bloated mess of an album. I lot of great songs, but also a ton of mindless filler crap.
Josh was an absolute soldier for RCHP, massive team player. The amount of times he's helped Anthony with lyrics live deserves huge respect. Josh kept the band hot and ready so they could bring their A game when John returned.
The Klinghoffer Era was a blast. Two amazing albums. Phenomenal live performances. Plus Josh’s solo covers were always great and you never knew what to expect!
That’s the best way too see all the process 🤜🤛
Well said
Red Chili Hot Peppers
I wish Josh had one more album. I enjoyed what he did with the band. He helped break a sound rut I could the the chilis tuning into. Gave them all a new perspective. Also the Josh era help return them to making a cohesive album and not just a collection of single and other songs. Albums with deep cuts. I appreciate that man.
The I’m Beside You b-sides album is good.
@@lb2696so freaking good. That could’ve been another double album lol
The Peppers with Josh did create another album, it was shelved. Hope to hear it...or maybe the next generation will be able to hear it when it is released. Play it loud for me when I'm in the great beyond.
I’ve heard josh say he specifically tried to play things that weren’t in the ‘frusciante realm’ which I can’t imagine how hard that must’ve been. Knowing now how stifled he felt, the fact he still dug deep and found such uniquely beautiful and interesting melodies demonstrates the depth of his soul. Which, again, I can’t imagine ALSO being able to do that while constantly being compared and reminded that he was not his predecessor. He has built a tremendous pedigree and the company he keeps value him like beloved family member. Dot Hacker, Pearl Jam, Gnarls Barkley, Pluralone, Bob Forrest-such tremendous collaborations.
Dot hacker is the shit for real. Most underrated band ever
RHCP is a band you know, if you are not Frusciante, you should expect that you are only there until he decides to come back. The same with other bands like Limp Bizkit and Wes Borland, and from what Josh said, he was always aware of that, and had no problem with it.
It wasn’t that good man. No matter how you phrase it- Josh with rhcp was boring
@@superwong6601 Whatever you say Black Summer…
Bob Forrest is the secret Frank Zappa of that generation. If you jammed with him, you went somewhere. Josh is so talented and honestly the Peppers did not deserve him because he didn't have their full hearts, he was an after thought in retrospect but it was the same ideal that happened with Dave Navarro. John should lose his ego and play some of the greater songs from the times he wasnt in. (and i am a lifelong huge fan of the chili peppers but honestly Josh deserved better)
I actually saw Josh open for Pearl Jam in Toronto a month ago and I loved it, he’s definitely a killer guitarist and I still think that he did a great job taking over for John
He was fantastic at that show
@@andrewburke4069 Definitely, I still love that there was someone in the audience that wanted him to play Under the Bridge and Josh referred to as "Under the Bridge Guy" for the rest of his set. Great sense of humour from the guy, plus still a damn good player
Same in QC! Wife n i are from the pj rhcp Era, old n outta touch, didn't know there was an "opening act" but a great surprise. And getting to hear him, McCREADY and Ed n the boys play Purple Rain was very special to me. So great!
I need to preface my reply with two things. First, I was at the Toronto PJ show too. Second, I am not a Klinghoffer hater. Okay, with that out of the way: I thought Josh's set at that show sucked. The sound was awful for one thing, but the playing and singing was just super inconsistent and boring. I wasn't really familiar with Pluralone prior to the show, so I watched some videos both before and after the concert, and confirmed that what I had witnessed was pretty consistent with his other performances. I like what he did in the Chilis, and on John's solo albums, but man... Pluralone just doesn't do it for me.
@@canadianmaple09 I can understand that. I was more impressed by his ability to kinda karaoke, to sound so similar to other singers
I always felt the hate towards Josh was unwarranted. I'll admit, when he joined the RHCP, I was fairly upset due to the fact that he basically replaced John Frusciante. After sometime, I grew to appreciate his talents. He was probably the next best thing to John. He really kept the peppers alive, even helping Kiedis w/ lyrics when he forgot the lyrics. The dude was dedicated to the band, probably more so than Frusciante ever was.
The way he was abruptly kicked out of the band was unprofessional, to say the least.
They had an agreement at the start and they basically said that if John ever tries coming back you would have to leave no mater what and josh was fine with it so I don’t think it’s very unprofessional of them
@@Ligato_smoothproof?
Ironically, Frusciante and Klingerhoffer working together on the The Empyrean is mind blowing.
Ataxia I a good album
Next vid suggestion: " Why Guitar Players LOVE Mike Cole "
Ah yes someone who doesn't really watch Mike's videos.
Because he speaks a lot and it’s funny
Easy answer. Because he’s freaking awesome
Lol
Josh kept the band going. They definitely explored a different sound on both albums. His playing grew on me a lot. I got to hear Aeroplane live because that wouldn’t happen with John.
Agreed. Anyone or anything that relied completely on JF would have been taking a huge risk (amazing guitarist though he is). The world needs reliable people. That fact that JK is 100% reliable and also a superb and original guitarist saved the band.
Flea would never have played with someone who wasn’t an incredible musician or capable of becoming one. In fact, he took a bigger gamble with JF (originally) than he ever did with JK, though perhaps even he was surprised by where JF got to.
jealous
@@jackhargreaves1911
When Anthony and Flea accepted John in the band, John was only I think 18 years old, while Josh had already established himself as a musician by the point he got accepted into RHCP.
(I know you know this, but this is for people that do not know).
Oh shit. I didn’t realize they played OHM stuff with Josh
aeroplane was Dave Navarro
I had the honor of getting to see him play alongside Jane's Addiction, and Smashing Pumpkins when they toured together recently. He was in the area, and heard they were gonna be playing a concert, and he asked if he could come be the guitarist. They agreed, and I gotta say. Hearing Jane's Addiction, and Smashing Pumpkins songs played in the style of his guitar was out of this world. It was a borderline psychedelic experience. It was in a closed arena too, so the sound was like right in your ear. It was one of the best live performances I've ever listened to.
When a music snob like Billy Corgan lets you play with the Pumpkins on short notice (kinda), you know you're already at THAT level.
I saw Josh with the chili peppers at Coachella in 2013 and he was unbelievably good. He absolutely rips and you can tell it's effortless for him. Def one of the only people who could've properly fill John's shoes
Josh Klinghoffer is not just one of my favorite guitarists, but one of my favorite musicians ever. he's so versatile and so incredibly talented, I'm glad he's moved on past the chilis, he got so much hate and he was so restricted in the band
Man IS a dope drummer as well..
Man IS a dope drummer as well..
He is easily one of the most underrated guitarists ever. I’m glad RHCP fans like him too. Frusciante purists like him too for a reason!
love the relaxed and informative content man, been fun watching you as I get back on my Ibanez after a couple years 👌👌
Josh is a phenomenal musician on several instruments. I love his original material, his material with John Frusciante, and his covers. Every time I hear him cover Jeff Buckley, I swoon and melt. I hope to hear some new original material soon.
The song "The Longest Wave" is one of the best Chili Pepper's guitarwork. And the riff belongs to Josh
I can honestly say this is the most underrated song of all time. I love frusciante but the getaway is such a gem of an album and it doesn’t get talked about as much as I think it should
@@joelneville1607 The Getaway is such a vibe of an album, it might not be the main RHCP sound, but I think it made them more appealing to younger listeners like myself, and eventually dig into their older stuff which I never get tired of listening to. I sometimes even wonder what a third album with Josh would have sounded like..
To be honest I'm not a fan of that song but the intro and I believe it's played again in the end ... It's just on another level, head to head with the most incredible intros ever up there with under the bridge, also "long progression" my god ... Those chords are incredible and how the song develops! Josh did some work that is just amazing, shame that people still say bad things about his ability and skills
The intro of The Longest Wave is just soooo good
The intro is out of this world, maybe one of the best of all time. If it would be on another album and by Frusciante it would have got the appreciation it earns.
I have a huge appreciation towards Josh! The Getaway has some of the greatest RHCP songs, for instance Encore or Goodbye Angels. And then there's Police Station from the I'm With You album, which, to me, is in the top 10 of RHCP songs. Josh's guitar playing contributed a lot to the vibe of these songs. I had the luck to see them during the Getaway tour, and I'm so sorry that we probably never hear any of these songs live again.
Im assuming you texted the number in your comments after reading this
Josh is absolutely freaking incredible. RCHP material was so interesting and fresh with his writing.
For me, Josh was exactly what a replacement musician should be; energetic, passionate, and entirely unique in his style... much as I prefer the new songs with John overall (especially Aquatic Mouth Dance and Bella), Josh-era songs like Dreams Of A Samurai, We Turn Red, Ethiopia, the Getaway title track, and Goodbye Angels all stand very proudly alongside John, Dave, and even the extraordinary Hillel's contributions to RHCP!!
Really loving the breakdown videos and the appreciation for Josh! In a perfect world, I wish John AND Josh could be in the band.
They should be, but the guys are assholes. They kicked Josh out - he didn't want to leave and feels bad about it. If you go back, they've always treated other guitarists who were meant to fill in for John or even Hilel like that. It's a shame, because I can only imagine how cool both guitarists would sound together playing off of one another.
No lmao. In a perfect world RHCP is just flea, AK, JF, and CS
@@superwong6601 I totally get that. Some bands are just meant to be 1 guitar bands. For the Chili Peppers, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Having 2 guitars probably upsets the balance with Flea on bass.
@@silverman169 josh is a fantastic and amazing musician but I honesty won’t worry about his feelings when it comes to my enjoyment of my favorite band ever. Something about the flea and frusciante connection is untouchable IMO
@@silverman169 yeah man. Two guitars in rhcp is weird. The solos work with no rhythm guitar because it perfectly locks into the grooves of the bass lines. The space in between all the instruments makes rhcp special imo. Can’t let it get cluttered
"This is the Kitt" from the Pepper's b side album is a funky riff, one of his best
Really loving the longer form videos!!
This is such an awesome video! I’m so glad I found this channel, I love this kind of solo breakdown stuff, definitely a new fan ! :)
So glad that someone has made a proper video about this. Klinghoffer is my biggest inspiration on guitar, but the guy does not get anywhere near the respect he deserves. The Getaway is an album that I would say completely changed my life. His solo works with Dot Hacker are absolutely amazing too, Eye Opener is one of the most beautiful songs out there.
That’s beautiful:) such an inspiring artist 😊
Well said , Sam
Sick Love is one of my favorite RHCP song. I love both Josh and Fru. If only they can be both in the Chili's at the same time, that would be great.
They were Peppers at the same time. In 2007, Klinghoffer played with Red Hot Chili Peppers on the final few legs of their Stadium Arcadium tour. There are videos on UA-cam.
I've always dug Sick Love too
Hey Mike,
I just want to say that I really appreciate the way you're evolving into the UA-camr/publisher that you want to become. You're smart, you articulate yourself well and you know how to build up the point that you're trying to get across. The way you explain things makes me feel like I'm having drinks with my friends breaking down our favorite riffs and songs.
Keep up the good work. You're a breath of fresh air in a world full of cluttered videos that are just created for shock and hits.
The way you present your info scratches such a specific itch in my brain I didn’t even know was there, love the work Mike
If you like this solo, I encourage you to check the the live at the pyramids version! They both work on the same idea, but the live version have a kinda more energetic and raw feel. Anyway, good to see someone who appreciate Josh's work! Personally, when i discovered music and the RHCP, it was Josh and not John that was the guitarist. Now I love them both as musician.
I always felt this way. I was PISSED when John left but after hearing the first album with Josh I quickly stfu and gave him the respect he deserves. He can tickle those strings just like John.
Great video! Your quick sketches are amazing, but this one even better)
I love the longer videos, thanks for your thoughts
Love this video. Klinghoffer is one of my favorite guitarists. I can’t put my finger on it, but his playing has always hit my emotions so hard. Still love listening to all his songs
Well surprise: John Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer did several albums together, some as Ataxia. Check out Shadows collide with people, A Spere in the Heart of Silence, Inside of Emptiness, Curtains, Automatic Writing, Going inside, the Empyrean, The Will to Death, and many more plus live performances. The only thing I'm sorry about is that they haven't continued to play together, was such a fruitful and awasome creative team! I hope they will get back to it sometime.
I was a big fan of Josh when I heard him on Shadows Collide with People. I mean, his credits on that record are the same as John’s: Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Synthesizers, Keyboards & Percussion. Also loved his playing with Bob Forrest on the Bicycle Thief record.
my exact thoughts...I first saw Josh at the glass house playing with the bicycle thief. Seen him in all his other bands since
I actually really love that acronym you came up with, and love hearing the love you’ve got for Josh. He’s earned some appreciation to come in and help make his own mark on the RHCP
Frusciante is my favorite musician ever, but I also absolutely adore Josh's solo work as Pluralone and with Dot Hacker
Josh was the guy who saved RHCP. And I don't know why nowadays with Fruchiante RHCP doesn't play the hits from the Klinghoffer era
Because he's a fucking diva. And that's coming from a lifelong, die hard RHCP and JF fan
He is a really great speaker and guitar teacher. This video was really pleasing and helpful. He sure does also take really great care of his instruments. They are polished up! Thank you for the lesson.
if you want more of josh, they had an unreleased album back in 2013 called I'm beside you. It has insane josh riffs like the one in This is the kitt. You should definitely check it out :))
Get it, I’m B-side you. Better than the album itself. The Getaway, though, easily the most under appreciated RHCP album.
@@andrewscott1538 One Hot Minute.
agree
@@andrewscott1538 totally man. Detroit goes crazy hard.
Did I Let You Know is one of the most underrated riffs by Josh Klinghoffer, alongside with Universally Speaking(yeah, a Frusciante guitar riff is underrated).
I dig the longer breakdown format mate, good work
Each guitarist learned from the ones before them, John from Hillel, Dave and Josh from John and Hillel. They kept the spirit of the band to where you couldn't say any 2 albums sounded the same. I have alot of love for all members of this band.
The longest wave is a masterpiece, josh is massively underrated
Keep doing these break down videos. It really helps for music theory for beginners like me in a way that is easily digestible. I've been trying to learn music theory, I learnt more from this short video than from reading long ass articles
Awesome video, subscribed and stoked for more
Josh also played drums and guitar with Pearl Jam... Watching his solo on Alive just proves the guy is highly talented and really knows how to play and adapt. Frusciante is my favorite guitar player in RHCP for all he has done... But It cant be denied that JK is a genius who knows how to fit in different musical high profile scenarios
Frusciante = genius
Klinghoffer = not genius
Hope this helps your confusion.
A few years ago, when i first discovered the Chili Peppers, Josh was on and they had just released The Getaway. I was FLOORED. It had all the sounds i love the most from the history of the band and it just had that gorgeous, classic RHCP aesthetic. Josh Klinghoffer not only inspired me to broaden my horizon and write music but he also inspired this profile's name.
His Solo albums are absolutely incredible some of the most wild and imaginitive soundscapes, he doesn't care he just makes it.
Here's my story time about Josh: I met him outside a coffee shop in Toronto while he was on tour with Pearl Jam. I recognize him and go up to him to say hi, "So you're with Def Leppard now?"
He was super nice about it and laughed it off while I wanted the ground to swallow me up right then and there 😂🤦🏻♀️
Gavin’s videos are mad useful. Love your content man!
Loving these long form Mayer/RHCP vids - would also dig some more content on their influences (especially Hendrix and SRV)
Man I'm glad you made this video! I'm with you is such a brilliant record, it has got so much energy, brilliant riffs, the funk, the melodies that the peppers are known for with a bit of a more modern aproach! Really underrated album and really underrated guitar player
Amazing video! I love everything, even more the way you were so creative in catching our attention with your words.
Great informative well spoken video! Thanks!
Keep making these. You're good at it. The shorts are funny, but you have the intelligence to make long format videos interesting.
Not only is Josh a brilliant guitar player, he's also a brilliant musician that plays many instruments.
I appreciate the fact you admit to not knowing certain things and still confess to not being able to play everything! I am always intimidated by guitar UA-cam and it makes me feel like less of a guitarist. Great video man, really enjoying the content. You have inspired me to maybe start making some content… I’ve been waiting to become a “good enough player” to do that lol.
The way you share your evolution as a musician throughout the years is really inspiring for new kids. Keep up with the good work!
I love josh. He and John were jam buddies so of course he picked up some John's technique
I like the longer videos man. Y ou're doing great keep it up
I love Josh and John so much! Ataxia needs to make a comeback
Great video! I love both John's and Josh's playing/writing on RHCP albums, but especially on their solo efforts and collaborations like Shadows Collide With People, The Will To Death, A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence, and Ataxia's Automatic Writing.
Love your honesty about your journey. Great stuff man, spot on.
i LOVE Josh klinghoffer, such a special decade that will have a special place in my heart. Amazing video and happy someone else shares this take!
i agree with you bro, josh is a great guy with a huge heart, josh was saving the band while jonh was playing on those synths 🎸🔥
Please keep doing 10 minute videos I love them
So glad you mentioned “Sick Love” towards the end. Everything about that song is excellent.
Thanks for breaking that history into simple story. I myself am also diving into pepper's guitarist history. And I am like you, falling in love with both. By the way, you're also amazing with the guitar. I hope you make it big yourself my man.🤘
Longer vids are great, you keep killing it with this channel. Dark Necessities has been a nonstop track for me since finding out about it for the first time recently. Your breakdown makes it feel like more than just a guilty pleasure 😊 and on top of the breakdown/storytelling also appreciate you chipping away at the negativity around appreciating guitar players, elitism in this space is rampant and desperately needs an alternative like this. Nothing wrong with enjoying different things without tearing someone/something else down!
Dark necessities is one of my favorite solos. It’s a blast to play and sounds so cool.
Thank you for the video!!! ☺
You beautifully broke it down. So cool to see the music scaffolding.
Josh inspires me so much to play ! He is a very colorful player. love him!
Frusciante / Klinggoffer / Lally did two albums together back in '04 & '07 as a band called Ataxia. Automatic Writing I and II. Listened to these on repeat for extended periods. Hope this finds at least one person who hadn't heard them!
You are a godsend.
Josh was also on John's solo album Shadows Collide with People, as was Chad Smith. Flea was on one song too. It's one of my favourite albums.
Thank you for this video!
I've only seen 3 videos so far but you have a great channel, good stuff man🤘🤙
I just achieved a level which I can play RHCP riffs couple months ago and I can't stop learning and playing Frusciante riffs (same goes for Josh, I adore both of them) Completely agree on your words on Frusciante.
I've never understood the hate that Josh gets just because he replaced John, always seemed kinda petty.
Also, I'm still at the beginning of my music theory journey, but I love videos like this.
You have a pretty great way of explaining things, so even someone like me who knows the make-up of a chord but doesn't quite know how to apply that in the wider sense of music can understand.
Also just wanted to say I've enjoyed both your longer form videos as well as your shorter skit styles videos! keep 'em coming!
Phew!
What you did there at 4:40, with the acronym, that's dope. Putting some love on that word.
Bless your soul, and keep on rockin' and rollin' \m/
love your videos i have seen a few and love your performances.. keep up the good work we subscribed
I wish he had stayed In the peppers after frusciante's return, It would have been so cool for all 5 of them to make an album together in a new formation
Man, I love your whole demeanor and the way you talk and carry yourself. Found myself enjoying to listen to you.
You vaguely remind me of someone I’ve never met. If that makes sense at all.
Nice video! Loved the twist of actually rightfully praising Josh. Was so funny and true.
Hey Mike, how long have you been playing guitar? You are amazing and I love your explanations and stories. I started playing at the beginning of covid and would like to know where I should be by now. I love the RHCPs even though their lyrics aren't always that intelligent but the vibe is where it is at.
Goodbye Angel is where I fell in love with Josh Klinghoffer's guitar playing. That ending riff after the bass break down is chef's kiss.
I always thought Josh was a perfect fit and a great addition. Excellent multi-instrumentalist musician, John's understudy, knew all the licks and then some. Brought something extra to the band then just being the guy who played guitar.
I'm Beside You is full of awesome Josh's guitar work and I recommend everyone to give it a listen.
Entertaining video. I dig it!
Thank you for helping me appreciate this cool lick in a way I had not before.. Great breakdown with some theory without making it boring.. Good job! RCHP rocks!
Josh is amazing. John is one of my favorites of all time. I understand why they go out of their way to accommodate him, but I thought Josh did an amazing job at the shows I saw with him. He's a fantastic musician
The solo melody over the chorus of Raindance Maggie is one of the best examples of 'playing with feel'. That same style is also heard on the sick love solo, the chord arrangements for both songs give it a both dreary and optimistic vibe at once
i love this such a unique style of video essay from just a pure, talented music lover. keep up these types of vids for sure!
I'm definitely down with longer vids!
Josh has probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing… I’m assuming lots of people either read the title and absolutely agreed or a lot of people rushed to ambush without actually watching… very good video and absolutely agree with you buddy !
Kinda echoing what a lot of people have said here, I'm really glad Frusciante is back with the Chili Peppers but I'm also really glad I got to see them once with Klinghoffer. We might never hear Sick Love, The Longest Wave, Dark Necessities, and other songs from that era performed live again, but I think they're some of the band's best.
Man, i didnt know your channel
This channel is such a happy discovery for me
Really loved this kind of story telling format! I dont necessarily agree with you, but the Way you are telling your thoughts really makes me understand the story you’re trying to tell, and Also makes me Think more about my own top guitarist. Also loved the small theory parts! More of this if you Can! ❤
