Thank you all for your great response. I've been getting a lot of requests for tabs, and you can now find them here: www.patreon.com/posts/45211171
The tabs are available in Guitar Pro format, but also as a PDF in case you don't have the software.
Now, have a great day! 😀🎸
Begginer guitarist here and this is a really helpful tutorial! I've been struggling a little at first until I watched this so thank you!
That makes me so happy! Keep it up! :)
Thank you! This song is really good to show off to non-guitarists since switching between fingerpicking and guitar pick is a pretty cool visual effect. No need for singing too since the guitar part sounds good on its own!
It’s a nice song to play indeed! :) I have that problem where I can play many songs, but playing the guitar part alone isn’t that interesting. This song is indeed not one of those. :D
Thank you for the lesson and absolutely perfect tone, love the guitar!!!
Thank you very much! I love this guitar too! ☺️
Really good tutorial, thank you so much! This song connects so many and such deep emotions and memories for me it's unbelievable. Especially verse part 2 sounds even better than on the RHCP recording imo.
I listened to this song and other RHCP songs and other bands during my high school time. I didn't have any friends but tried so hard to be part of their groups. I drank so much alcohol to feel good, to be courageous and to prove myself to the others. That I am such a tough person that I can handle even the greatest amounts of alcohol. I had so many dangerous blackouts. Like 6h blakouts, vomiting and nearly dying. I continued my downwards path using every drug known to man. From Cannabis, LSD, MDMA, Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Heroin Benzos you name it. I ended up in a Methadone program.
Then I quit. Everything but cannabis. But as time went I even had to quit that. Today I study medicine, and if everything goes well I will be a doctor in 2 years time. And I play the songs myself, the songs I used to liten to... And it feels almost as if i composed them myself, that's how connected I feel to them.
All this to say, listen to your emotions. They don't lie.
Thank you for your tutorial.
CZcams didn’t notify me about this comment, so my response is late. :(
Amazing story with a powerful message! I’m glad you’re on track today! 🙏
I find I really like John's acoustic, and especially fingerstyle acoustic, composition. Nice lesson on this one. Cheers.
What a great tutorial! Instant like + sub, can't wait to play this song and look through your other Frusciante tutorials!!! Thanks man
Thank you so much! ☺️
Wow your tutorial really is on point. I like the way you present it, just like a real life guitar lesson should be.
Also the sound and quality of your guitar and video are great. I am happy i found a youtuber just like you.
Greetings from germany:).
This makes me so happy to read. Thank you and have great weekend! ☺️
Slow Sheeta. I love it!
I love the song too! 😀
@@Vigi no worries bro, it's understood that english is not your native lang. Performance is great, every single detail is well highlighted
Really clear ! I learned it really fast, the way you cut it in different part makes it really easy to understand how to play it. Thanks !
I’m super happy to hear that! I felt that approach was suitable for this particular riff. :)
Hello from Greece!
Great tutorial of a great song!
We love J. Frusciante....
I've watched and learned a lot from your videos. Keep going on that way!!!
Hello! Thank you very much! ☺️
amazing tutorial man this is one of the first songs i’ve been learning on my new guitar
Awesome, thank you! What guitar did you get? ☺️
Superb lesson I love your teaching style, well on way to cracking the first verse
Thank you! Awesome! ☺️
Amazing tutorial and steps are really good to understand the fingerpicking! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for not spoiling this tutorial with tabs. I know many players out there rely on them, but to me they're confusing rather than helpful. I've got ears to listen, so basically all I need is for someone to break it down for me because I don't feel too confident about my own ability to get it right just from listening to the original recording. So, thanks for a very intuitive lesson!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you appreciate this way of teaching. I was aiming towards teaching this in an intuitive way. I think the playing becomes more magical when the player understands the rhythm structure for this song, which is easy to overlook in tabs. ☺️
Great tutorial! Super easy to follow, love the way you build it up in layers instead of just giving the notes. Subbed
I’ve very happy you liked the structure. I experiment with different teaching styles. :)
Great tutorial - I have been looking all around for a decnt demo and this hits the spot. Well done!
Thank you very much! I’m happy to hear that! :)
Fantastic video mate, very clear and easy for a beginner finger picker like me.
I’ve been slowly moving away from electric towards acoustic and thanks to you this was one of the first songs I learned fingerpicking style.
Thanks again 🍻
That’s amazing to hear! Cheers! 🍻
Amazing guitar lesson. Though many total beginners might not appreciate it, as there are no tabs etc (and I feel like that's what less experienced players are looking for the most), it's a truly wonderful lesson. I feel like you showed the correlation between chords and different parts of the song, which really makes it easy and fun to learn.
Thank you very much! Btw there are tabs in description so there's something for everyone, depending on preferred approach to learning. :D
Underrated teacher! Love your stuff dude!
Thank you! :)
just came across this. Superb tutorial, and great instruction about importance of the metronome. Whilst I understand why some people would want tabs, they are not necessary as there are only a few chord shapes and the principle with most finger picking is alternating the base notes with the melody notes. Beginners should learn the travis picking technique, and then learning songs such as this one comes much easier.
Great lesson dude - good audio and aesthetically pleasing to watch
Thank you very much! ☺️
Vigi... So happy I came across this lesson. You've done a fantastic job. The quality is fantastic! For those out there are very new like me, one thing that helps me get the hang of this is... CZcams has the ability to slo-mo. I reduced the speed to .5 and it helped me tremendously! Vigi.., I can't wait to start watching some more of your other videos. I want to get a better handle on this one first thought. :) Consider myself SUBSCRIBED! Cheers my friend!
What a kind comment! Thank you very much! ☺️ That slowing down feature is indeed gold for us guitarists. I use it all the time too. 😃 I can recommend checking out part 2 of this. I’d say it’s a little bit more tricky so it’s a nice lesson to help you progress in your playing when you got this down comfortably. Take care! 🙏
A fantastic lesson, short yet understandable sections, superb studio professionalism, and quality. Keep them coming!
Thank you very much! I’m working on part 2 of this lesson. ☺️
@@Vigi Would you mind sharing the strumming pattern for the chorus? I have been having trouble with it recently. Thanks!
Gliz I talk a little bit about it in part 2 of this video, which is out now. Hope it helps. ☺️
@@Vigi Okay, thank you.
Thanks man you're great with these tutorial it really helped me out 😀!!!!!
Amazing Lesson ! Thanks !
Thank you! 🙂
Great Sound & Play!! Beautiful！
Thank you very much! 🙂
you play the song so well i just watched the what you will be playing part for like an hour
Wow, I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you! 🤩
Thanks for sharing mate. Really well done!
Thank you so much! :)
I should say a perfect way to teach anyone & anybody have to learn; Just watch this video.. I amazed bro, Cool& seriously I Can see the Dedication & Passion you have in... Appriviate it bro👍
Wow, I’m humbled by your kind words! Thank you! ☺️
Great tutorial please do a part 2 with the rest
Thank you very much! People seem to like it so it seems like a good idea. ☺️
Nice tutorial!
Thank you! :)
Less than a minute in and you tought me how to finger pick and hold a pick...rip the first chord with your finger nails and if there is a pause grab the pick from your mouth. Wow, thank you.
that guitar its so beautiful
you are a very good master guitar
Loved the way how you kept the plectrum , and started playing with it.. 😍😍
I’m glad to hear that! The pro way is to hide it between your fingers of the fingerpicking hand, but I struggle with that. 😅
But, your way was far too helpful and cool and easy
As a beginner this was really helpful
I’m happy to hear that. It’s a lot more straight forward and it does the job. 😀
thanks a lot man !!!!
Thank you!! :)
Amazing brother!!
Thank you! 😀
Ya nailded it mate!!!!!!
Wow, thank you! ☺️
Very good, thx
Thank you! :)
Great lesson thanks...I have a similar guitar I think...000-15M martin streetmaster.
Thanks !!
Thank you! :)
I love this song man. I love that guitar too 😂
Thank you very much! I really like this guitar. It’s my only acoustic. :)
Thank You
🙏☺️
It's very nice how you explain it in different phases but I didn't hear you mention what fret you put the capo on. I had to go back to see, especially with the markings that are different on your guitar. Just a tip for the next time...
Thank you! I thought it would be redundant info when I recorded, but now I understand it would have been better to say. So thank you for the feedback. ☺️
Mannn i've been playing this without a cappo. Now it makes sense why my hands were cramping with all the stretching😅
D15m?
Very nice playing
Hi Vigi! your videos are awesome! Can ask you with wich microphones and camera you record this and what exact model is the your Martin guitar? Thanks !!! Greetings from Argentina
Hi Joaquin! Thank you very much! ☺️ Neumann TLM 102, Sony a7iii, and Martin 000-15m. Take care! 👍
This is such a nice song. What a bummer they never played it live back in the day. I learned it by ear last year so I'm curious about this tutorial. Let's see if I played it the right way :D ...
Indeed! Or maybe let's see if I played it right. :D
@@Vigi Hahaha :D . I played it exactly the same way but I didn't play two strings at the same time on the descending melody. For instance in the 10th second of your video I'd only pick the e string. After listening to the original again I realised that John actually picked both high strings. Good job, Vigi!
Ah, I see. I think those two strings help creating that descending vibe for that part of the riff. :)
im sorry i may have missed it but what fret is the capo on exactly? it sounds a bit off and might be why :3, great vid
6th fret. Thank you! ☺️
This is the first song I am learning that has finger picking in it and at first it feels a bit alien. It's like my brain knows what to do but my right hand fingers are clumsy and to thic. It feels like Iam not progressing, but the weird thing is afther I lay down the gituar and come back the next day I notice the improvement. So bottem line just stick with it and it will come.
Yes! I always have the same experience. Just play it through slowly and accurately the first day. Then during the night, I feel like it gets programmed into my muscle memory. The next day, I can play it better. And then continue like that until you got it like you want it. :)
man is a very good tutorial, but please put the notes on the screen
Thank you and thank you for your feedback. I’ve tried different ways including putting notes in the screen. I can’t decide what’s best. Putting the notes on the screen gets across what to play but it can also make you overlook other aspects. Also it can look messy and it can take a lot longer time to edit. Here I teach it like you are in the room and that could have a certain charm as well. But yeah I’ll keep trying different approaches and see what gives the best results. 🤷♂️☺️
@@Vigi I think the notes should be included man.. Most of us aren't trying to jam and show off with a handful of songs (I hope), we're trying to improve on the guitar..
@@joshuabradshaw6355 It's interesting because when I try the version without the tabs on the screen, the lesson seem to do well. But that might be a coincidence. I'll continue to evaluate what works best so I do appreciate the feedback. 😅 Btw have you checked out part 2 of this lesson, and how do you like that one compared to this one? I'm asking because that one does have tabs on the screen.
Sorry, I do not understand your argument. What is to connection between learning a song without the tabs on the screen and not trying to improve on the guitar? 🤔
@@Vigi I found the video very very helpful and you played it perfectly! I think notes would be nice, but I agree with your thought that it is messy. I also think that while learning, guitar tabs can be more destructive than beneficial to your learning as a beginner or even intermediate player. Maybe you could have a separate link with the tabs?
@@zacharyc323 I agree! Really good idea with the link! I actually wrote down the tabs and updated with a link in the description just after I mentioned this idea. Thank you! :)
D15 its a thing of beauty
This is not a dreadnought though. 😬☺️
@@Vigi 000-15m?
@@jeremyo1313 Yes! :)
Hey mate greetings as always could u do Cabron-RHCP ? there isnt a tutorial of that just great covers
Hey! Thank you for the great suggestion! I’ve written it down. :)
Nice video ? What is your acoustic guitar ?
Greetings from China :)
Thank you! :) Martin 000-15m.
I may be wrong but the 16th of the C as I learned it for this song is the first fret of the B string, not open high E. Very cool video though.
Have you played along to the original and does it sound good then? I think it’s clear it’s a high e note, relative to capo on the sixth fret, if I understand you correctly. Thank you! ☺️
This is the song where all your guitar heroes yawn and hang up their instruments to watch some football and the song *I* mark in the calendar as the first Vigi (piece of a) song I can play!!! Yaaaay! When I heard it on Instagam I thought, "Tricksy Vigi, he layered two guitars again." Imagine my surprise as I watched the tutorial! Hahahah, it's the best! My vote is for finishing the tutorial for the rest of the song.
Off topic, were you nervous? Don't be, your hair looks amazing for lockdown! :)
Awesome! Yeah that’s what I love with this riff. It has that magic effect of almost sounding like two guitars, but it’s really simple. 🤩 Thank you for your vote! 👍 Sorry, it’s just that I need to practice my presentation skills. I’m a bit clumsy in my speech. Learning by doing. 🤷♂️ Thank you! Luckily, a lot of businesses are still open in Sweden, including the barber shop. 😁
Those guitar posers who want to play 100 notes a second all the time need to calm down for a moment and enjoy simple melodies ;) . I play the guitar for a long time but it wasn't very easy for me to perfectly reproduce this picking pattern. It's about finger coordination because on certain beats you have to use two fingers simultaneously. Once you figure it out it's really fun to play and you can be proud of yourself! Good luck with learning this beautiful piece of music :)
The next challenge is to sing this while playing the guitar. I always lose the picking pattern when I start singing :D
@@timons7446 Yeah it wasn't super easy for me as well. I really had to practice to get things somewhat right. :)
@@Vigi Yeah I always slow down things and get it perfect on a comfortable speed and then you can always play it faster afterwards.
@@timons7446 Yeah that's the magic trick really. Sometimes I can't play something and I think it's because it's too fast, but then I usually realise I haven't figure out how to play it properly slowly either. :D As soon as I can play it comfortably slowly, speed is usually not an issue. :)
Great tutorial man! Can I also ask what type of strings you use for this acoustic?
Thank you! D’addario 10’s (same as my electric guitars). :)
@@Vigi sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you mean the same gauge strings (10-46), or literally the same electric guitar strings? They definitely don't look like the phosphor bronze ones...
I mean literally the same electric guitar strings. :)
@@Vigi Wow! That's unique haha. They didn't sound too out of place either, but I feel like you won't get the necessary warmth...
I might to give that a try next time. Cheers
Is it? 😅 I remember researching what acoustic strings I should get many years ago and many sources concluded that electric strings works well. I tried it, and haven’t given it any second thoughts since. :D
I am not able to make it sound like you . I might be missing something . Is your guitar using steel string or nylon strings?
It’s steel. ☺️
😍
😀
This is really cool, but what about the chorus? Is it the the same chords?
Thank you! I’ve got a lesson on that on my channel as well. I called it “Slow Cheetah - Strumming Lesson”. :)
What strings are you using? Are they the same as Frusciante?
D’Addario 10’s. I believe so. :)
@@Vigi I checked pics of his Martin and it seems he use wounded 4-th string so he probably uses some typical acoustic gauge sets, not 10s.
Hmm, I remember researching what strings I should use on my acoustic years ago. I figured I check what John used, and from my research I concluded it seem like he just used the same as for the electric and it seemed like something that’s common to do in general. So I’ve just stuck with that since, keeping it simple. But it’s interesting you say you’ve found other strings on his acoustic. I’ll have to look that up myself sometime. ☺️
Hello! I don't understand English well, so can you please answer me in the comments, why do you need a metronome exercise? thank you in advance!
Hello! Good question! The metronome is very helpful to learn keeping a steady rhythm. It’s easy to end up in a situation where you can play all the notes, without it sounding good. The metronome helps you avoid that. 👍☺️ Please let me know if it doesn’t make sense. 😃
Vigi thank you very much for the detailed answer! I'm just starting to learn the guitar and your videos, although they seem to me in many ways difficult and incomprehensible, but very interesting. especially about the guitar pedals) now I'm your subscriber :)
Cool that you’ve picked up the guitar. It’s really fun! I think that if it feels incomprehensible, it just means that you should break it down even further and spend more time for each part. ☺️ I’m glad you like the pedal videos too. I like making different kind of videos. 😃
Where did you get this Martin?
I bought it used. :)
Slow cheetah is a real prophecy its this or crawl by kings of leon. 😇
It’s special. ☺️
4:15 G
Yes? 😁
Upgrardes acustic guitar??? My guitar it's a Ibanez pc12Mh-opn MAHOGHANY. Great video!!
How do you like the Ibanez? It seems really nice for the price. :)
The thing is , ir doesn't sound so good... Sounds hard, and I tought I'd change the thickness of the strings as well as the everybrows that are plastic by others of tusq
Try changing the nut and bridge to better material. Also strings like you said too. ☺️
@@Vigi thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Greetings and good luck!
Thank you! 🙏
I'm here cause I couldn't figure out the pick in the mouth trick on my own lol
😅
What's the exact strumming pattern??
I address this in the part 2 video. 👍🙏
@@Vigi awesome thank you man, love the content
Thank you very much. That makes me so happy to hear! 😃
What guitar is that?
It’s a Martin 000-15m (not the new burst one). ☺️
Well play , but John never use a capo
Thank you! You’ll gonna wanna watch this amazing video 😁 WLnZ3faY38Q
Fam before the song we learnt 3 other ones ffs haha
me and the boys learning slow sheetah
Awesome! 👍😀
it's actually a good lesson thanks
I love the sound of the song most of it isn't that hard it's just getting the speed of it
also why did you like every comment?
Yes! Speed but most importantly flow. ☺️ Because I appreciate when someone takes their time to leave a comment on my videos and also since my channel is so small that it’s possible for me to do that. 😀
Are you Swedish? You sound Swedish.
Right on! 😆😉
sorry i'm like #666
😱
cool analysis of 4 chords lol NO CZcamsr has yet sorted out the final echo solo in this song....
😢
