wow, 2 years ago 😳 what other "strange feeling" did you have?

Coming to tell you he did both, elegantly 😂

Spot on

This aged very well

great feeling man

Same here

Me too dude. It was the first album I heard that the instruments in the music (primarily guitar) were just as integral (if not more so) to conveying the emotion/meaning of the songs as the lyrics/vocals. It was the first album that my preferred way of listening to it was laying in bed, in the dark, with my eyes closed, with headphones on and the volume all the way up. So dense, so many layers on the album, mmm, For example, before starting to play guitar I remember listening to the end of Turn It Again over and over when I first heard it; it sounded SO cool. And now after playing guitar for ~15 years I still feel the same way about it.

Blood sugar sex magic was mine, but I got into them months before Californication came out so that's really the one that shaped my playing early on

Same dude

WET SAND!

haha, when I heard him I'm like WTF have I been saying it wrong this whole time??

Habits of Lil Wayne : Wearing saggy pants and smocking weed ...

Wadsmitter Hey ! You're still here ! You're the man who taught me that Mooer pedals have red lights when it's analog and blue when it's digital ! I will always remember this even when I'll be old and ... fuck, I'm already old ! Dammit ! :-)

Bacon Monster his guitar work on his electronic albums after the Empyrean are just as genius as anything else he's released.

Melvin White I'm sure of it,i really enjoy his work with the Black Knights though,really good stuff ^_^

i like johns solo work, but his best work is with the chilis / i like joshs work with the chilis, but his best work is with dot hacker

Bacon Monster well said

I agree that he's more than guitar hero. Even Kiedis said Fruciante can match any tune to any song he made.

He has amazing technical skills, but he just doesn’t use them often because he plays what the song needs not to impress people with his technical skills. He started playing when he was 7 and could play every Hendrix song by 12. Dude is a virtuoso. Listen to some of the songs from mother’s milk I think his technical skills really shined with the heavier era of the chili peppers tho he was limited because the producer wanted him to sound like Hillel.

@@fedoraman8967 acho que ele era melhor que hillel na epoca que entrou na banda no lugar do erik marshall

Listen to the Amputecture album by The Mars Volta. Frusciante played almost all the guitars (Omar did a few solos; sometimes they’d both solo at once). He plays way more minimalistic in RHCP but he is actually has insane chops. He just doesn’t like showboating.

@@Im_alex_h thanks dude I will give it a listen

and also a great voice!

Four years, this mate me both legitimate LOL, as well as snort-LOL. Top work.

@@samaj2001 made* also thats too much info my man

@@cravingpolice1409 I'm not sure in what way it's too much info to say something made me snort-laugh. Lighten up. You also forgot a full-stop at the end of your comment. Mine was a mobile phone auto-correct, you're just being lazy. Thanks for replying though, totally worthwhile.

@@samaj2001 i dont like ur sarcasam, it kinda ruined it, but i was just being friendly and u come out with a whole-ass paragraph but its good and i apologise for judging ur mistakes too early, my bad.

@@cravingpolice1409 Talk about a nutcase.

Do you use helo fresh?

You got that backwards bud

@@cakesodomy4358 no he didnt?

@@karstenpuder3605 yes he did, legend has it john taught jimi how to play

False, Lil Wayne is Johns Biggest inspiration

It's Justin Bieber actually 😂🤣😂🤣

Brian Volinic think he's been clean a while for the most part

Juan Valdez oh I know. Pretty familiar with his story. Huge fan of all his stuff. It's amazing he pulled out of that pit. Hope he's still doing well. ✌️

This comment is A1

N1 haha

Brian Volinic haha not too many could live through those habits

My all time favorite RHCP song

and theres so much to talk about yet its the same one song

Louis Martin But he didn't tho, it was just 3 minutes or something around that

I know right...

It's probably his most iconic. Though he has so much diversity!

Yup even more when they say under the bridge is made of triads. There’s not a single triad in that song, he played full chords in it .

i could’ve lied?

@@I-am-duck With a capital I

Aleister Davidson my smile is a rifle is eerily beautiful

Smile from the streets you hold its also a profound album, he made the album just to earn some money to buy more drug. Dark.

The world’s just a so sphere no bigger than the balls you suck

I also would recommend "to record only water for 10 days" as it shows how great his riff writing, and songwriting as a whole is.

That is one of my favourite albums ever. Beautiful

Boko Piiti 10000% yes

Boko Piiti YES!!

Boko Piiti PLEASE!!!!

+1

pentatonic! OH YEAH!

E minor, Sure!!

@@chcuatro wah wah

Accurate..

They are great 👍. Do you use hello fresh?

Hey Razor. 8th grade? Damn,keep practicing you can do anything guitar wise at your age. Can’t go wrong listening to Frusciante. He always tries to make the song sound good instead of showing off.

And here i was thinking no one in this comments section was into Marr. Thanks friend.

:-)

Habits of "The Wizard"

lmao it would definitely be a struggle for him he could barely play the beginning to this charming man

DaBeachmasta10 agreed

DaBeachmasta10 shoutout to Dave Simpson!

yess true

DaBeachmasta10 Saw your comment and looked him up. Holy shit, were you right. That Dave guy has absolutely nailed it. Thanks for that.

Colin Heeregrave Anytime brother

I too like melodies!

...except for jazz

.... Its because guitar chords are usually not triads in most songs

He is a great riff writer hard to teach

He's better than he gives himself credit for

George Toogood first thing I thought of too

George Toogood Some people dont have the fingers to be able to use their thumb like Jimi and John. To you they would say fack off, make music however you want.

George Toogood I was like dude, where's the thumb?!?

don't even think about music if you've never fucked a guitar

Brandon Begley my hands are small and I still do bar chords Hendrix style

Heyven War Kings No.

yes.

kinda

Heyven War Kings explain flea.

Fabien Dolan And Chad.

Ilir Piliki 2nd that...RR RIP

id pay to watch that

True, but he often doesn't play the root note on the low E string, so it's inverted.

yes

Nick 665,99 please marty 🤘🤘🤘

Nick 665,99 YESSSS

he'll break his fingers😂

Nick 665,99 yes please Marty and mustaine would be cool

YES

Jimmy Page yes please!!!

Jimmy Page You don't really want him to get flagged

get drunk, go onstage and totally destroy the whole show. maybe bring some fiddle stick. voila, jimmy page

Jimmy Page its easy... Just light your guitar on fire... That's all😎

One of the wierdest inversions for Bmaj I've ever seen is the way he does it in the chorus of Under the Bridge ("I don't ever wanna feel, like I did that day"). Watch him play that B chord. That fingering is literally impossible for me to play because I can't reverse bend my fingers lol. Second example is his outro solo on Around the World. It's just Dm / Em, but again, watch him play and look at his fingering. Almost deliberately uncomfortable and difficult, which seems to build hand strength and contributes a certain sound to his strumming/groove based on which notes are muted vs resonating. i'm probably doing a shit job of explaining what i have in my head lol.

hmm to me it always sounded and looked like a standard D-form Bmaj chord (from memory at least, as i haven't actually watched him play it for a long time). is there a particular video that shows what you are referring to?

Yes exactly, it's a D-shaped B major, but the fingering he uses is wierd as hell, at least to me. Check the Under The Bridge lesson video that John himself did, figure 4. He uses two fingers to create a bar at frets 9 and 11, then hooks that pinky upwards on fret 12.... I am not capable of bending my finger that way! I would have just held the actual D chord up there instead of barring it like that.

almost like his ring finger is double jointed or something! funny because this is the only way he's ever played the song, but every version of tabs for this song uses easier fingerings for that Bmaj chord.

ah yeah i see what you mean, where it looks like he's flattening the first joint of his ring finger to get both of the strings, with the pinky then playing the B. and yeah, i couldn't do that either. oh well, luckily you don't need to do that in order to play the same notes and have it sound the same way ;)
