John was like "Hmm this solo sounds too playable let's just add 10 seconds of sheer madness so beginners can spend 2 more years trying to learn that shit"
Frank No guitarist creates a solo or a song with the soul intention for others to play it, they make it hard because they can and because it sounds epic
leonardo dm Me too. Some people talk for 10 minutes before they play a note. But when a vid starts with the shit they're trying to teach you, you know exactly if it's what you're looking for without having to sit through endless BS.
Of all supposed instructors on RU-vid, and we know there are so many, this guy is most definitely the best. Why? Because he gets it right down to the last detail irrespective of how 'hard' it possibly is. And damn does he nail every tiny detail. Lots of respect, man.
Learned 90% of this solo two years ago, second solo I ever learned to play. Now I'm finally skilled enough to come back and learn the last part. Thanks, Frusciante
Whenever I'm searching for a guitar lesson for a song and this gentleman comes up I always go to his link! He is the best .Most accurate and detailed lessons l've found.
Also if anyone else gets stuck on the high part that loops 15th fret b string, 13th fret b string, and 14th fret g string, you can loop 10b 13b 10e. with first finger and fourth finger is easiest for me but do whatever is best for you and happy guitaring!! ( it’s not the way John Frichiante does it exactly but it sounds roughly the same
Thanks for the lesson! I was about to learn it by tabs(which would've never happened) but then I saw this video and it helped!! I still have some problems but it's all practice from now thanks again
instead of shredding you can just do a bend through the first and second note, then pick the third note, that works too and doesnt sound bad basicly bend the first note, skip the second and play the third
Carl there you go 600 likes!. Please teach us the whole song as you promised please. Make it your next video. Wanna learn it especially the part where he combines lead and rhythm during the rhythm sections. Come on Carl
Karthik Nair Hey Karthik, I already finished "Dani California". Just check out my Chili Peppers lesson playlist here ru-vid.com/group/PLOBqO_KghqI4dtX3-kUWxF8iMjwSB3Nkz to find it. Have fun!
not sure exactly what his setting are but if you look up a guy on youtube named dave simpson, he shows you all the pedals john used and how to get his sound.
Boss DS2 is what Frusciante uses. In this particular case, it think it sounds more like a fuzz, though. The DS2 is good first dist pedal, especially if you're into Frusciante. Get it used used cheap.
Dude thanks so fucking much. i was in a rut with my guitar playing and this video is just what i needed. i nailed this solo thanks to your excellent teachings. Gonna get on with the solo from Pearl Jam's Alive now, keep rocking my good man!
pringelsthegamefreak how can it be D Minor if the chords in the chorus are in A minor scale. D minor for example has G Minor when it's G Major played in the chorus which can be found in the A minor scale
+Ray Hoodoo Simple Pentatonic. plus dmin and fmaj have the same notes, so it isn't exactly clear which key he plays in. Learn some theory, then you'll know. It's pretty simple :)
IMO It's because the mechanics of it is simple, but John Frusciante is a freaking genius. And to make it sing and be as musical as it is when he does it, is, well. Downright hard as hell. If everybody could do it, we'd all be rich and famous rock stars. You know? You'll get it. :)
I hate the first 60 seconds of this video. It was a turned off. Then, I said to myself that can't continue to be that bad. Suddenly, the light comes on. You're not teaching "Hotel California" solo. My bad. I was misleading by your title.
