  • Here's the next episode of Chordplay with The Chords of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
    I've had a number of requests for more funk-based music and to feature some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers - so here we go! The Chili Peppers are a very popular/influential band that formed in LA in 1983, and as their rotating series of guitarists over the years has changed and altered their sound in various ways, at the heart of their music lies a steady groove of funk and classic rock-based ideas, and that's what this lesson focuses on.
    The examples pinpointed in this lesson include an assortment of classic RHCP music and for this episode, we're hitting the old-school gritty funk-rock sound from their early albums, with song examples from classics such as Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and more.
    There's a lot you can learn from studying funk-based music, and while I'm a huge fan of funk artists such as James Brown, Funkadelic, The Meters, Sly and the Family Stone, and more - I'm also a fan of what followed 1970s funk with the second and third waves that appeared in the 1980s and 1990s. This includes these guys and the signature sound that the RHCP tapped into and discovered early in their career.
    Some interesting ideas are shared here and I made sure to avoid the "standard" RHCP songs in this lesson, so be sure to check out some of this music if you're not familiar with the earlier output of this classic and popular group, as I really dig their early albums with the raw funk-rock sound mixed with a bit of a punk edge.
    Give this episode a view, leave some comments and feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!

    True, in fact RHCP started out more punk than anything else. Another great lesson, thank you.

      @@4572dk Well, the guitarist in our band played it on 2 or 3 strings I think. He was having a bit trouble muting the right ones out(he even complained about it once in a positive way), so I think the OP has a point.

    Great lesson and explanation, as always. I would like to make a couple of requests for songs/artists with interesting chords; one is Voyager from Alan Parson Project Pyramid Album. The second is .38 Special You got the deal, which has some interesting intro chords and a cool sounding verse. Thanks

    All due respect. Overall, decent job, however, the tone is way off. Needs the basics, 2 Marshall
    Amps running stereo, with one being a silver jubilee and a major. Stereo is key. And some sort of chorus and a ds2. Some preamp gain is needed. Anyways. Respect! Great job. Not easy emulating the master. Frooooo! Tone needs work for sure
