A Guitar Hero Has Returned? John Frusciante MELTS FACES in new song "Eddie" 

I think John did a perfect tribute to Eddie, enough guitar flash without reducing it to all the classic EVH licks. Just a perfect homage from one legend to another

I love how Anthony always gets caught just watching John play, you can tell he’s a fan just as much as we are haha.

John Frusciante is a beast. His solo records are some of my favorite rock/alternative music

John is one of my favorite guitar players. He gets so much emotion out of every note

I lack the words to properly articulate the emotions I felt standing in that crowd Sunday night listening to him melt my face with Eddie! It was such an intense experience. I didn't want it to end.

John Frusciante is everything. My guitar hero since I was 7.

What i love about the peppers is that they are so spontaneous in live concert and it gives you a lot of memorable moments at the point that sometimes i cry with the atmosphere they create. Love concerts from Poland, Slane Castle, Live earth, Lollapalooza and now this

You had me at "John Frusciante"

You are a big inspiration for me! I have been playing (self-taught) for over two years now and your videos continue to fuel my love for guitar, even if I may not be good at it!

These live performaces bring out SO much more than you get on their records. A true guitar hero, like the title.

JF is reaching his absolute prime and above. It’s glorious to be a witness to. I don’t think he’s talked about enough, but he may be the greatest guitarist of this generation

the tone on this song is face melting and overall the entire song will go down as one of their best imo. people rlly liked it and i only heard positive things in the comments and people still religiously listen and follow rhcp and are even more excited now that john returned cus the difference is obvious. the new album is out in this very moment and their energy is unmatched

I saw this debuted live! Truly a beautiful track and that first note of the riff really just soared and gave me chills when I first heard it

Very cool and a lot of fun to listen to. There is so much feeling/emotions going on during that performance (both parties). Thanks for the in-depth insight!

John is definitely my fav guitarist and he has inspired me so much. You should do more vids like this Tyler!

Cool vid - I appreciated you approaching this video as a fan. I think you hit the nail on the head on how JF doesn't overplay. I love his use of melody and ability to play off the band. Rock on !🤘

So glad you covered this live version and broke some down. Incredible playing! Yeah, he's blues/pentatonic based in his solos but it's the way he plays everything that makes him such a great guitarist.

My all time favorite guitarist. The emotion that he can pull out of a guitar is unlike anything ive ever heard. Inspired me to start playing guitar at 11 years old, here i am at 35, still floored by watching this master at work.

Man love your videos, I have such a great time watching your videos 🎶🎸

I love both new albums, just amazing to see John Frusciante back!!!

Witnessing this live in the front row was so god damn amazing. This was a hell of a show🌶

Keep up the great work!❤ I love it when you make frusciante vids. Rhcp’s music is so magical, you can listen to listen to songs like Rivers of Avalon or hard to concentrate 1000s of times and cry each time

Having John back in RHCP is wonderful. I’ve been wanting to hear him play guitar again for years! His electronic stuff is cool and I love everything he has created, but his best stuff is done with a guitar in his hands. And his vocals are wonderful. I’ve been into Frusciante, as well as RHCP, since I was a teenager. His existence has meant a lot to me throughout most of my life. I’m 45 now and I still get the same excitement and emotion sitting in front of the stereo listening as I spin RHCP albums. I love them. 🤘🏽❤️🎶

Me too, mate. I'm still excited by it. From the footage the last week in NZ and now into Australia, he's warming right up!!

Got to see it in person and it was absolutely amazing, didn’t realize some of the stuff he was doing and I was amazed.

Something about this album - and this song in particular - makes me feel like a kid again. I even went and subscribed to print versions of Guitar World again! I’m just so inspired.

Thanks for sharing. John has always been my secret weapon ever since I started playing, he’s the biggest inspiration on guitar, currently living.

I have seen them twice recently. When they filled in for ff at Jazz Fest was soul fulfilling!

I knew you would make a video about this great solo :)

I just a few weeks got to see them live and it was one of the best nights ever and frusciante put on a show like no other, I swear he lit that guitar on fire man

Just blown away by Tyler’s way to transcribe and make it look so easy and efortless. Always been a great inspiration for me! Awesome video!🤘🏻

Such an amazing song, saw it live last month, awesome experience. These guys don't seem to age!

Our mjnds were blown when we heard this song for the first time! First those very melodic lines in the verses and chorus and then one big fat solo, WOW!

I'm working my way through Guitar Super System now and the intro stuff on theory is gold.

I just saw them live last Tuesday and boy what a show.. the audio quality of the stadium wasn't great but john worked with it really well, and this solo sounded absolutely fantastic.. I can't stop playing since I saw that, truly a guitar legend

Awesome as always! Why you don’t use a strat for this video I’ll never know but hey, looking forward to the next one!

I like how Anthony has turned into the guy on the cover of the old Incubus albums.

Love you’re vids

FROOSH is back and he’s blowing us away but our ears are hungry for every time his finger touches those strings. To see him channel his energy and vibe through his guitar and resonating out of those amps is a thing of beauty..

That Chapman guitar is the shiznit! Been wanting it for awhile. P90s are hot right now and that baby has killer specs on top of SD pickups.

Agreed. Didn’t think much of their last album tbh but this one one is shaping up. Traditionally I won’t break it out til my next full hr hill run but the Yootoobs snippets have been very encouraging for Canteen.

*It's best solo guitar all the times with this group fantastic & great feeling*

Besides John’s awesome tribute let’s not forget the brilliant lyrics of this song! Perfect

The track has a certain character, stands out from their previous work, on a higher level if you may. my favorite so far from their 2022 double album effort. they keep reinventing like this, they will be even more legendary than they already are!

Yeah the guitar part in this song is amazing. This gives me very strong 2006 stadium arcadium vibes which I still consider their masterpiece. I do wish there was a little bit better melody, harmonies on this really making it sound more full and rich but John does not disappoint with that guitar solo. Absolutely love that they have another full album again so soon. John is a music making machine and I love that he is back in the band. We've been waiting years for him to return and we knew at some point he probably would. I must say I was kind of disappointed with the initial album this year. It was good to have them back and there were a couple of good songs, however it lacked that full masterpiece sound stadium arcadium had. Maybe it will take them a couple of albums to get back to their best again but stadium arcadium for me hit on all levels. Songwriting was great. Arrangement and song structure were fantastic. The harmonies and melodies and all of the pretty parts of the song really bloomed big time on that album and it had the best guitar work of the band yet. For shante was an absolute beast who crushed nearly every track on that with amazing guitar solos. I still keep it very high in my rotation. Thank God they gave us a double album full of great songs to sustain us all those years he was gone because one album would not have been enough. speaking of one of them not being enough it's great that we have a second one this year and this one is better than the initial one earlier this year I think. We need John for Shawnee guitar God beast mode at all times on their songs. That's what people come for. To bow at his feet as the guitar God he is. Anthony can sing about whatever bizarre la lyrics pop in his head and that's fine, this band is not about the lyrics to me. They never have been. Chad is awesome on drums, flea is a beast on the base and John is a shining God on guitar. It's about the music. Bring forth more music for us to worship. So glad John's back in the band. 2022 is awesome!

I don't know if you knew, but recently an old video of 17 years old Frusciante with his band IKE dropped on Yt. He was straight up shredding EVH style. Tapping, dive bombs and everything. lol

"it's better that way, when John Frusciante play things" quote though;) thanks for awesome video, as usual in fact

Just heard his song for the first time with the album drop last week. This solo took John Frusciante to a whole 'nother level (as if that was possible). The way he evokes EVH while doing his own thing but also having subtle nods to so many other guitar greats, I think has undoubtedly submitted him amongst them indefinitely with this one. There are hints of Hendrix, Page, Gilmour, Allen Collins, etc. It's in the nuisance of it, but it's there, and it's just incredible. I'm afraid it'll ultimately go under looked for what it is, but man, if the day of the guitar gods of old is coming to an end for a new era, Frusciante is making sure it doesn't go out with a whisper.

This solo is like the perfect mix of John's Hendrix-style and EvH's style

Simple but INTENSE! Thats the way I like to play! Thx Ty

Nice looking Axe. That is one of my favourite looking Chapman guitars.

Eddie is one of my favorite rhcp songs already

Duuude! I'm only 2 minutes in. I still can't stop looking at your guitar!!! Magnificent 🤘🏼😸🤘🏼

Over the years if you watch them live they play this style a lot just jamming and improvising.

I hadn't seen it but my god, so good.

John is such an innovator on the strings, very reminiscent of Eddie in the sense that he plays something and you go “who would ever think to do that?”. And it always sounds amazing.

Awesome. Would love to see your thoughts on Nels Cline’s solo in Wilco’s Impossible Germany.

Thanks for this one

Always will be my fav guitar player and musician at all

Not the biggest fan of the new albums, but surely glad to see them all playing together once again, John's leads are great as always, just wooow.

No one channels the ethereal spirit these days like John, he is a conduit

I own that sparkly semi hollow chapman in blue and I fuckin love it

loved it when T. said something like I CANT JUST DO BASIC BLUES LICKS, and then, BUT THEY'RE JOHN FRUSCIANTE'S HANDS PLAYING THEM!!! ...sent an unprepared-for JOY throughout my entire body :)

Yeppers, the man is great...but wait Tyler... you are great yourself, & that guitar you have there is just awsome man, what kind is it ... I'd love to get one, it sounds really great 👍

*I like this song a lot more after your video Tyler 🥹🎸🔥🫶*

That band is just not that band without him. I loved Josh but John really is that band. In this video 1/2 the band is watching him and the only reason 3/4 isn't because Flea is busy.

I like how I thought this was going to be a reaction video but it's just Tyler jamming with some rhcp love it

Cool video. How do you like your semi hollow guitar that you are playing? I was thinking of getting a semi hollow prs custom or another semi hollow. I’ve always played solid bodies so I’m trying to learn as much as possible before I make a purchase. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Man the tone is sick af here

Love it!!!

Frusciente is insane, saw them last sunday i was left speechless multiple times

Can you do one of these videos on "Symbolic" by Death? That song has some of the coolest riffs and the solos are really interesting.

Its great to see John back where he belongs...

So glad Frusciante is back! dude is AMAZING!

Sure is a lot of commercials for a video that is not monetized lol great video

That Toan you rocking is pretty filthy Broski 🔥

Would love to see a video breaking down "the Hendrix thing" in depth with and without a Wah

Chad Smith being in the pocket helps big time for this song. Chad and John set the drive for sure !

That is a pretty good Peppers song and also that is a great looking guitar it looks like a Orange dreamicle

Hendrix and Frusciante are the two reasons I started to learn to play guitar. I will be eternally grateful to them and all the great musicians that inspires us.

OMFG I just want that orange guitar

You should break down the second solo in Hands up by Rory Gallagher

Man... What a mix... Hybrid.. This was definitely a Bright Necessity that RHCP needed..

What amp, guitar and setting are you using? :) Sounds great! :D👍🏽👍🏽

Love the Chapman!!!

"Eddie" is a great song & Frusciante is one the best. For my part my favourite guitarist wrote another tribute song to Eddie, a different Eddie. Dean WEENs a "Tear For Eddie" is sublime!!!

Great tone you got there. What amp and pedals you using?

My favorite Frusciante solo comes from the live performance of The Zephyr Song at Slane Castle.

Cool Guitar!

That’s funny. Last week I didn’t know what to listen to so I just put the This is RHCP on Spotify and this song came up after a while and, even that I’m not a fan I know most of their famous songs, and I was like is this from an old album? How come I never noticed it Haha

ive been watching your videos for the first time and i think youu should rate eddys guitar that you can get (the on from st)

SO FIRE

EPIC!!!

Hey Tyler, what PRS model would you choose if you could not justify/afford a core model? (Silversky not included) => Humbucker guitar.

That's a great trib to EVH. John sounds so on in this performance.

4:30 btw his crazy fuzz is the Boss DS2 on "Turbo" mode with all the knobs cranked up to ten going into a slightly distorted Marshall amp. Most beautiful Distortion sound in history imho.

My favorite RU-vidr on the whole app

If your going to watch and review the chili peppers live performances I recomend the classic slane castle parralel universe solo, it melts

How is your Spark Mini holding up? I never see you play it, I assume it’s not as good as you had advertised? I saw really bad reviews.

Nice new guitar 🎸
