The chords John plays form 0:35 are: D-minor (from bass E-string) x5776x, 0:39 F-diminished with open E 089797, 0:42 G#-diminished with open E 0 11 12 10 12 10. I spent some time figuring out how he had played that so maybe someone will find my work helpfull.
7:32 - " and it ends up sounding a lot like I am actually doubling myself...but, uh, I'm faking it, hah... and, uh, and it makes me sound like a genius" oh, frooshas, you are a genius in better ways than being fast enough to double your own speedy solos...
I remember watching this a couple of years ago, when i knew nothing about production side of the music, and had no clue what he was talking about, but now that i learned about mixing/mastering, it's a strange and surreal feeling that I can perfectly understand what he explains. I've never felt more connected to John and his ideas ever before by watching this again today
***** I bet he didn't mean his knowledge of chords... I think if you read more about John then you'll realise he really is a genius, I don't mean to glorify him and stuff but he's quite an intruiging person
He is so passionate about his music, i wish he was still with RHCP, he didn't only play fantastic guitar but awesome background vocals and amazing songwriting. But a genius like him has to do what he thinks is right
+nonnanevrotica I think he is also doing amazing music on his own. In fact my favourite album is The Empyrean, that came out in 2009. Also love his post crazyacidsynthrappop stuff a lot. You just can feel love and passion on everything he's been doing since Mothers Milk. (Sorry for my bad english)
Thank you to the person who posted this video - Parts 1 and 2. Hearing John explain everything that went in to this song, makes me appreciate it all the more! First time I heard Dani California though, I knew it would always be in my Top 5 of RHCP's songs. Pure brilliance!
Like John Frusciante. Aaaaand we're back to where we started. I love his face when he says "I shouldn't've hit that E-string so hard." He's just got that childlike look of excitement. *Heart*
“And then.. and then.. and then.. um.. i .. umm.. and .. so yeah.. i.. um. then.. i just do this” 😂 hes so f hard to describe in words what he was did on that song, he did geniusy thing but he doesn't realized it hahaha.. What a genuine human
Man John just speaks through his guitar, you kinda of try and understand what he's saying and it's a little difficult to follow him at times, but when he plays it pure genius comes through and it all make sense. Brilliant!
if you are referring to the chord progression which he "is proud of" I think it's rather: x57766 > 089797 > 0,11,12,10,12,10 you can hear the open E string just my 2 cents though
"It seems like I'm doubling myself but I'm faking it. (the cutest laughter ever)So it makes me look like a genius.(the cutest smile ever)" i love him so much :)
This really helps put into words why I love this album so much and why its my favorite Chili Peppers album. Im not super musical but there is something about Stadium Arcadium that sounds so different from their other albums and its amazing. Johns guitar playing in SA is so melodic and harmonic and beautiful!
+Teologi Almasih He use to be really not humble though. Around the BSSM era he came off pretty much the exact opposite haha. I'm guessing a hard life in-between taught him some hard life lessons.

While all the celebrities are writing autobiographies from John Frusciante, I'm looking forward to a philosophical book about music. It is clear that John breathes and lives music. In this video, it seems that two John and a guitar are talking.
now whenever i listen to this song, I will always think about all these things about how he made every part, and I will see the whole song with a different view, because I will hear things I never heard before :)
for the last time - prechorus is: Dm(x5776x)>E7(xx9797)>Abdim(x,11,12,10,12,10) bridge is: Bm(799777)>G(x,10,12,12,12,x)>D/F#(x,9,12,11,10,x)> F#m(x,9,11,11,10,x) I'm 99% sure. write it done :P
@Walkens1 The easier way to do those chords (If someone minds that version) is (from bass E-string) 0:39 xx0434 and 0:42 xx0767. These are the same ones as those which John had used in the video
