The vocal harmonies are honestly my favourite part about By The Way, both the song and the rest of album, I’m really happy there’s now a video breaking it down!
I think his backing vocals on Slow Cheetah are an often overlooked gem. On the chorus especially, listening to his vocals isolated gives the song a totally different and interesting vibe.
I can see that quite a few other people have already commented on songs I was thinking about. But a killer video would be about how Crazytown made Butterfly using the Pretty Little Ditty sample
Oh my god thank you so much for this. I've been looking for a transcript or isolated track of John's vocals on this song for ages. Genius! Good work man
Those last videos about vocal harmonies have been wonderful, Marc. I think you could also write down the chords to contextualize the harmonies a little better, that would help explain why more uncommon harmonies make sense, as the vocalists are not always singing the root note of the chords in their main vocal parts. Just a suggestion for the next ones!
Can you do vids on Slow Cheetah - perfect harmonies. And Save the Population - I love the way they sing over each other, where John does a delayed overlay and perfect harmony in the last bit ❤
@@simplastic I'm aware of it, singing is always a struggle for me, I'm not very good at it! But the goal of the vid wasn't to sing perfectly, hopefully it still helped to illustrate the way the harmonies work despite the mistakes

Same here! :D

True!!
I love the cant stop chorus or the dani california bridge section
Please do it for Snow (Hey Oh) ❤️
The harmonies on that one are awesome!

Thanks a lot for the support! And yes, great idea, will keep it in mind for future vids :)

I love this! Please do more JF vocal harmonies breakdowns :D
Thanks a lot!!
I
You should do the harmonies on Otherside :)
That song has really cool harmonies, love the way each chorus have additional layers!
Great video!
The vocal harmonies on Save the Population are something else ♥
Thanks a lot! Yep those harmonies rock ;)
Awesome breakdown, could you do She looks to me?
Thanks a lot! Will take a note of it, although tbh I don't yet if I'll keep going with vocal harmonies or experiment with other musical theory stuff
John also has brilliant backing vocals on unpopular songs: She Looks to Me, Dosed, and Slow Cheetah.
Thank you!!
Finally someone realizing the greatness of the chorus of by the way.
His layered vocals in this song are orgasmic
wow bro your singing voice is so good and sounds like josh klinghoffer
Extraordinary video! Great analysis and awesome, very pedagogical explanation. If you are a music teacher, your students must be happy :)
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Please breakdown Dosed 🙏🏽
Love that song!
Great work! Hope there’s more coming, love john’s harmonies
Thanks a lot! I'm hoping to make some more as well :)
Great video
Thank you!
Great break down, Marc. I wonder if these arrangements came from John or the producer. Anyway, brilliant!
Awesome !!
Thank u kind sir
excelent video !! thanks !
Awesome! Loving the content!
Thanks so much
cool bro!
Thanks!
Great job, Marc!
Thank you!!
Great job, bro!
What an excellent video. Love this song!
Could you show us the vocal harmonies that they performed in slane castle show? The otherside track is amazing!!!
Will keep that in mind, I'd love to do more RHCP / harmonies vids at some point
they really are a duet
Very interesting!!! though remember that in the last chorus John sings in a very light tone it's probably all falsetto, you sang in chest voice
Thanks a lot! Ah well spotted
really great video
Thanks!!
John Frusciante
I love this kind of videos, i wish the song seven bridges road by the eagles
Make more videos like this mate
Best John backing vocals are on dosed
💙🐻♾️
Do Tear
ua-cam.com/video/rtdoANO-PUU/v-deo.html the clearest example of those back vocals and live
Theres another frusciante lower vocal same as the bridge section in the last chorus
Ahh I wasn't aware of that, cool!!
@@3minuteswithMarc it could be Anthonys Voice idk
Otherside?
Love the harmonies on that tune, especially that last chorus
@@3minuteswithMarc my school band is covering it and I have to do backing vocals lol, they're so fun!
@@shanew6332 Awesome!! Good luck and enjoy ;)
Great video bro ❤
Make more rhcp please 🙏 JF harmonies are mind-blowing
thank you so much for this analysis! one of the "not so popular" songs with great harmonies from John is "Hey" from Stadium Arcadium
nice video man
Thanks a lot!
That was a little painful to watch
Let me know why you thought so, would be interesting so that I can (hopefully) make the next ones better!
@@3minuteswithMarc your singing is out of tune. I am a little surprised you can't notice it since you are apparently a musician
@@simplastic I'm aware of it, singing is always a struggle for me, I'm not very good at it! But the goal of the vid wasn't to sing perfectly, hopefully it still helped to illustrate the way the harmonies work despite the mistakes
he's not a great singer but he demonstrated what he was trying to and it worked well. I give him props
In the video he said he was going to *try* to sing the part in the song.
