who's still here in 2024?
🫡
Every couple months at this point 💀
Description updated to remove "former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist". We love you John
So glad he's back!
I’m still in shock man lol
Over the moon that John is back
Fitz beautiful !!!
only former should be in quotes...
Who else is admiring this legend in 2019!?
hell yeah!
Every year lol
Yaasss me 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤👏 just mesmerising!!
What a masterpiece!
Yes Sir. His Tone is just unreal...
john has gone through so many different evolutions...i feel like he's genuinely looked like six different people over the course of his career.
Once the Jesus
@@nik.chintavorn always the Jesus 😁
Ella S - Isn't weird how people you went to school with look so old and different now, but you still look the same as you did in high school? Me too! Jeeze, I'm so glad I'm not old like they are. I could probably still get down to my wrestling weight if I wanted too. This would all turn back into muscle if i started going to the gym.
Yeah, From 1991 to 2002 his look changed SO much! Especially before and after rehab.
Skinny John, Heroin John, Rehab John, Jesus John, Shaved-Head John, Retired John
Who is here after hearing he is rejoining RHCP!?! So stoked.
I can't stop watching him now! I'm super stoked on Chili Peppers all over again!
youtube musicians are edited imbeciles this man played guitar 16 hours a day so with that what you will
Literally everyone who will ever see this.
@@O5FS more like Lo_IQ
Really?!? Thank you Lord! The RHCP weren't the same without em
It's 2022, and HES BACK YALL!!!! PRAISE GOD
I think this is one of the most precious videos on CZcams
Beats the shit outta puppies, huh?
Meredith Richardson - ‘John frusciante beats the shit outta puppies- you won’t believe what happens next’ you’re right Meredith that would definitely get views!
I have it on DVD
Yes indeed
Even more impressive when you realise that ‘self taught’ back when he was young didn’t involve youtube or the internet
His parents were trained musicians.
@Bob Owens true, but john is a pro musician. He can play other peoples music, his covers span multiple genres. I prefer listening to john with the rhcp, his mastery of music shines when he plays off flea and chad
@Bob Owens that being said, I love his solo work. It's clear, his rhcp stuff was influenced by his solo work. But the guitar work for under the bridge wouldn't have existed without Anthony writing the lyrics first. Best band ever
Learning before CZcams just sucked (especially if you were shy like me). I had a guitar teacher and Mel Bay books. I think the teacher was sort of a studio/jazz guy - I was listening to Cream at the time, he wasn't. Books were shit too - chords plus some sort of melody in standard notation. I quit for a while. Finally found Stefan Grossman and Arlen Roth with tab and little acetate "discs." And harmonica with the book by Tony Glover. The internet is a wonderful thing.
Arlen Roth books with tab and little acetate records. Tony Glover book for harmonica. The internet is a wonderful thing.
The tone for under the bridge is just... makes my spine tingle. Such a good balance between clean and crunch, meaty bass and the typical strat jangle.
Moreso when he plays the outro with the CE-1 chorus pedal. Heaven!
Feels like John sees no difference between being on stage in front of 80.000 people of sitting on a couch with a camera crew when he is soloing. and thats just great
Gotta love that no matter how many times John flies the RHCP coop, the door is always open for him to come back. He's just THAT good.
Hes now back and they made a single!
@@darkarz5331 I remember the single had millions of CZcams views in a few days
John is just on an entirely different level than anyone I’ve ever heard. It’s like he’s playing from his soul and you can feel it. Amazing.
I still love coming here even after almost 8 years, it feels like im with john frusciante as he plays guitar on his couch
13 years ago now!
Yeah, feet up, can of stella just chillin the fuck out.
same! I've watched this video once every year for five years!
@@niketasdelgato4027 15 years now!
It’s been 8years come back n enjoy this masterpiece
I watch this at least once a week
Dishonour I watch it every morning before I start my day
This is everyday bread
Nick García, lol
Great guitar, but John could make anything sound and look great.
December 15, 2019 JOHN REJOINS RHCP!
Did he actually rejoin?
Unbelievable but yes, he did.
This is a contribution to humanity man. An archive for all the ages.
The way he talks is so adorable 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭
@@raisa_cherry33 He talks like that because he did a lot of drugs in the past
Akronys he talks like that because he is totally immersed in his music. he talked like that before he did a lot of drugs.
@@acdcjor Oh 😮
Cam Rocket haha
he's so simple when he speaks , like if he doesn t know he' s a genius !
He puts soul even into his simplest demos.
Its not simplest
At 10:46 his chord/melody two-note invention demonstration is one of the most beautiful 30 seconds of playing I’ve ever heard. His music always seems to come so deep within him.
Baseline is consistent and simple. Then a nice bit of hammering sliding in the melody. This man's melodies are unreal.
Lots of people in the world can play guitar. But John can really play the guitar.
can't believe this is free
The 2 chord melody just blew my mind. Have been tinkering w this for 2 straight days now and it's so much fun. Such a simple idea that can produce crazy amts of creativity and fun. Thanks so much for this John, you are a legend
Yeah it's great. Mayer does it in his own way. See something like Olivia.
12 years gone and I still feel good coming here again. Love u frusciante
Farhan Alam Me too
Me too 😅😅
HE'S BACK!!!!
I know right??? :DD
true artist, he's totally into his playing. so dope to be totally immersed into something whatever it may be. you live it that way
I'm imersed into my own penis. I have tried to blow myself countless times.
My condolences
Goddmit I spit my oatmeal all over my phone 😤😤😢 cuz of thattt
Unless it was actual dope, like frusciante a few years before this interview
@@theredhotchilipepperssexof4269 you really think you're that important that someone is going to take the time out of their day to read that essay?
There's just something in the way he plays that just makes you understand. It's better than hearing, like you can feel something.
Its extremely therapeutic for my senses 😍❤❤❤❤❤
*Something in the Way..*
_Hmmmm..._
💯
You feel his sorrow an pain when he plays!!! That's what i always liked about John's guitar playing..🤘
As of December 16th 2019..John Fruciante is once again a CHILI PEPPER! 😁💪🏿❤
Still admiring him in 2023
2023 and John still blowing my mind with those riffs
I am stressed and sad. So I came here to calm down en feel happy. He and his music mean so much to me!
Sending hugs🤗
So glad to hear how “second nature” it is for you John to just “mute the strings you don’t want to play” while when I play Can’t Stop it sounds like a school bus running over drunk orchestra
technique isn't natural at first. you just gotta put in the hours and your brain will subconsciously fill in the gaps. don't give up, keep practicing
you will be better with practice don't worry ;)
He said “second nature for me now”, practice makes perfect!
Once you get it it's the easiest thing ever
"I just didn't wanna be straight in any way, so like, Chad and Flea did a lot of experimenting with me in the studio." Lol, I love you John, but this is too hilarious not to mention.
cf
11:15 "so you can sit around and have fun with yourself"
Ignatius Jackson and right after he says “I just didn’t wanna be straight in any way”
😆 geez.
cursed
It’s a 2006 interview yet feels so 94.
Probably the shit quality and editing
😍❤😭
ayr1225 it’s the same couch in the 94 vpro. Just missing the cat and Bowie book...and the movie script/mathematic notebook of course lol
Also because he is so laid down
Kinda feels like the second week of July in 1993 to me but I feel ya
Ladies & Gentleman... the day has come, HE'S BACK!!
Forget all the acid bs i feel this is Hendrix's true enduring legacy this style of playing. John is a very expressive player with great technique and feel i wish i could play like this.
...all the acid? 😢
I'm not even a musician but I could listen to this all day
John is a true guitar master.
My favorite guitarrist!
HE'S BACK!!
He blends in with the couch
Nice observation
turn on subtitles and go to 16:08 even youtube knows a guitar can talk in the hands of John Frusciante
I remember back in the day when I was a beginner on guitar I would come to this video and replay it over and over until I had copied absolutely everything he was doing as close to exactly like him as I could get.
How in the world did you see where his fingers are?
@@foreverseethe With difficulty. I'd look at where his fingers were on the fret and if I couldn't tell exactly which strings he was holding down, I'd pause the video and try out the different possibilities until what I was playing either matched or sounded close enough to what he was playing in my beginner's mind.
@@MrJCMG As a 30 year old who has played since my fingers could fit a guitar, I had to unlearn a lot of bad habits to be able to match this style. For people who learned correctly this may sound foreign, but its hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
John Frusciante’s legacy will always live on. He’s amazing, inspired me to we’re I’m at today
Can you imagine if John redid this in 4k for 2019
What difference would that make? You can see well enough and hear everything as it is...
Yeah, you would actually be able to see his fingers.
What a lesson in not being constrained by a particular genre or style. True artist and a genius of our generation. Can’t wait to hear what comes next. Inspirational guitarist and human being. Love John Frusciante
This has been said a million times, but under the bridge is beautiful
jimi hendrix and john frusciante, genius’s in every way and I hope to carry the torch one day
Every single note lands perfectly with this one. He's creating magic.
The 9:59 section is haunting…there’s a real lonely eeriness to it with such a HUGE dynamic to it as well. John is one of the very few guitarists out there on the global stage who CREATES the music, not WRITING the music. Guy is incredibly talented and looks at it all
From an entirely different view outside the box
John is my hero. His style is so unique. Just play a Chili song with headphones turned up so you can hear every different little thing he adds on top of each other in his songs. Those little things add up to his big sound. Absolutely incredible.
He doesn't care how fast, wild or noisy you can be. He's a free soul, and he's flying, and that's all that matters.
His guitarplay makes me feel high. Love his philosophy, got to do that more often.
This guy really enjoys what he´is playing, even in a demonstration it seems like he´s feeling it
One of the greatest guitar players of all time..
wow. This is such a wonderful thing to have John himself break down" under the bridge". I'm a huge Hendrix fan, and I feel there are very,very few guitarists that have ever really captured that Hendrix style of playing. John not only captures a taste of it he adds his own style. I was attempting to pick this up from the recording, and now I find John has done this !! John thank you so much.
Thom Yorke was trying to play like John Frusciante when he wrote the song, reckoner! Pretty damn cool how amazing musicians influence each other!
I dont see how?
Still dont see how.
Belethor scar tissue and reckoner both use those major minor chords with the middle notes suspended those sweet two note chords with the bass treble contrast.
+Belethor Yorke said he went and saw them in concert and like in fig 9, it inspired the playing style seen on reckoner, similar to scar tissue
Sorry guys but reckoner isn’t even his song
I hope John is healthy and still writing music
He switched to electronic music
He looks good and healthy. But he's into some real garbage music right now
@@erinhand settle down his beats are fire
A quick google search would have told you all you need to know lmao 😂😂😂
@@NickB-md1oy I know but I prefer this way, try to get a conversation going
I remember watching this video back in 2007, this was the reason why I bought a sunburst strat and became a musician. I owe this video my life purpose.
Can’t think of a guitarist I like more. He’s a genius.
What an amazing guitar player, Red hot chilli peppers just isn't the same without him, definitely up there with the best guitar players of all time
This comment didint age well. :D
@@axwellfifty179 I'd say it did age well :D
John has been my favorite guitarist for basically my entire life but I only started playing guitar last year and now rewatching all the footage of him with the intention to actually learn something adds a whole new dimension to the experience
Ikr
2024 anyone ? More than 10 yers that I go back and forth to this interview and this guy's still mindblowing goddamit
One of the great guitarists.
best guitarist of the last 20 years, at least that i can think of..haha
it just seems really quality guitarists aren't valued in music like they were in the 60's and 70's in particular
I think this is one of the most precious videos on CZcams
There are many, many great guitarists all over the world. But yeah, you won't hear them in the charts. 😅
Figures 8/9 are some of the most influential pieces I’ve seen in my years of guitar playing
And now the KING is back!!
i come back to this interview every few months, its refreshing really
Here is a man to whom the word genius can actually be applied without risk of hyperbole. No one has and no one ever will play like this.
@youtube musicians are edited imbeciles actually quite a few junkies have been genius... Sometimes those people have the hardest time dealing with reality
I'm not sure, you can definitely hear the influence of Jimi Hendrix in fig. 3, especially when slowed down. But a genius he certainly is :)
Jon Ronnquist he’s a musical genius
Hendrix? Lmao.
@@nelsonvontitfuk1471 John has stated Hendrix as an influence many times
His riff goes deep inside my veins and my soul, thank you John for making this life so magical. 🖤
What a fucking genius.. my admiration for this guy is huge, really. His connection to music is amazing, to say the least. He is really one of a kind!
For all of you who love the riff at 10:05 its from his song Lou Bergs / Penetrate Time, a beautiful piece...
+Sompn Brurl Not the same riff but it's got the same intervals for the first part I guess. Root and third.
well, its basically a variaton of that riff :)
I don't know, I've learnt the riff on guitar and I'd definitely say it's entirely different but I can totally see the similarities melodically. Low birds is really lovely though and I imagine people who like this riff probably would enjoy that one too. :)
I know you wrote this 3 years ago but I literally came to the comments looking for this answer so thank you :)
@@simcHyt its similar but not intentional. Low birds is fantastic regardless
I’d stay hours and hours watchin’ him!
I could watch him all day. What a player!
Holy crap I’m so thankful for this, helped me tremendously
Mate you are so brilliant. Cheers for that fantastic insight.
most unique technique ive ever and absolutely beautiful
His guitar intonation and sound is so good
Thanks for sharing this with us John
the best lesson i have ever learned , thank you for uploading and thanks to the amazing and best guitarist and musician in the whole universe john frusciante i love you man , john is my idol
always been a fav song of mine growing up (under the bridge)..rhcp have always been really timeless. love hearing the musical influence of the piece; hendrix/mayfield.. def a nostalgic staple from my childhood!
When he plays it the guitar sounds like it’s talking, especially in the outro. Amazing. 😊
I’ve been coming back to this video at least once a year since 2013. So much to learn from, even just how his hands are positioned
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
I try to pick up on what Frusciante says about playing music. Today when I was playing guitar I think I got a glimpse of what he means. I was playing Snow (Hey Oh) , which is a very repetitive riff. For a minute I just let my hands do the playing, and I let my mind go somewhere else. I found myself playing music, but my mind was in a different place, solely enjoying the sounds coming out of my guitar.
Ive had this too, with the exact same song lol. Though i have to say it only lasted 30 seconds or so before my hands noticed they didnt have my brains attention and fell off.
Pretty impressive to do that on snow which is a pretty hard riff to keep att
Just be like Jon and smoke some weed...it works
you were probably playing a godmack riff
It is repetitive. It is also quite fast with some odd chord shapes. I need to be focused all the time to play it right.
Damm Allready 10years ago Jesus time flies
I could watch this every day.
I never get tired of hearing this song.
I loved that he shared his abilities with us and gave technical tips. What a great guy. I want to hear him play and practice all day and whenever. He would be a wonderful person to be around. Just by looking at his joy with the guitar, he makes make smile and be so happy. I would love to spend time with this person, watching and interacting with him. He radiates positivity and lovingkindness. I'm swept.
I have seen this video a million times now, and every time I want to thank the person whose idea it was to make a "how to sound like frusciante"-video with the legend himself instead of a ordinary interview... So thank you whoever it was!
So much love and respect I feel for John 🎸☀️
Started watching John's videos about 2 hours ago...I'ma stop for tonight after this one🙏🏼
You are amazing, master Frusciante
Genius....truly amazing
Lovely guitar. Lovely playing. Lovely tone. Amazing musician.
you are a fine player,one of the best in the world if not the best,glad your still around,love the stuff you do,when shadows colide brilliant
This man is my therapy at least 3 times a day I escape to his incredible talent! The most talented guitar player ever!
"...just try to bend the fabric of reality."
🖤
15:35
Unreal...
its so magical to watch him play as well as to listen to
GREAT number John ,Love your guitar lesson .lesson ,
