Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante Has Some Advice For Beginner Guitarists! (2004) #JohnFrusciante #RedHotChiliPeppers Partner: @PortalRHCP - (Instagram).
@@asdfdsafdsaasf9639 Yeah wisdom has a tendency to repeat itself :) Bill Bruford said it this way: "The beauty of improvisation is that accidents will happen". Frank Zappa said it like this: "Progress is not possible without deviations from the norm". It`s basically the same awareness because it`s about breaking the pattern so you create new patterns.
If you learn music in a fun way, not with forced discipline and pressure to get better, but with using the passion you have and making it your free time activity to get a break from the stress you may or may not be having to handle. Just a time to feel it and lay back or maybe get your kick for the day, finally stand up and dance, youve cracked the code you have the key
@@irenahalder im not saying dont practise, but when you start forcing yourself to sit down everyday to rehearse it becomes a chore. Which it shouldnt be
@@puebloblau420 i know where you are coming from..i think. If u make playing your guitar your leisure, but keep at it habitually, you develop your skills naturally. No expectations, no disappointments. Just grow musically. Do i get you? Or is it just me.
@@benallmark9671 Good luck to you both! You'll never be younger than you are today, and it's never too late to learn. I hope you are rocking out right now :)
I'd agree with this. I started playing guitar at 9...it was always about songs, performances, writing your own all the way into university and a music teaching job. Where did it get me? I was fucking miserable. Gter full days of kids screeching on instruments the last thing I wanted to do was play. So I quit teaching, took as long as it took, but last year I nought myself another guitar, amp, some pedals and just started learning songs I loved. No pressure, no gigs, no audience or expectations. What's the result so far? I fucking love it. Nearly a year in and I haven't written anything, haven't tried whatever. I just pick it up, play some stuff I love and I honestly think I'm a better guitarist for it.
"it's the colors you create with your instrument that's important and not what you're doing" It's also about the vibe you give off playing your instrument
John’s comment about the song having nothing to do with what’s happening on the neck of the guitar connected with me. Growing up in the 80s as a guitarist, a huge amount of focus was placed on having “chops”... high dexterity and technical knowledge, and faster was better. But I never had fast fingers and always enjoyed playing a great melodic pop song with beautiful chords far more than anything else. Not to say that highly technical music can’t be beautiful, just that complexity for its own sake tends not to be very satisfying for either the player or listener.
Learn the song in all parts solo the chords the bass line and then you know how to play the song work out how the notes link together like the bass line notes and guitar notes to chord shape .
As a painter this hits true in the visual world. 1) learn color theory 2) paint master copies from old master at museums (Rembrandt, Van Gogh, etc.) From there, you will become a magician
meh.. might be true for a lot of beginners/intermediate metal player, but if you look at metal player that are at the same level as John is (popularity), I don't agree at all
Love Keith Richards. Legendary musician. But he’s said some pretty dumb shit including this quote. He also said John Bonham was too “heavy handed” and seems to pretty much disregard him as one of the great rock drummers.
@@MK4vDubbin wtf does Keith want, Led Zeppelin with a drummer who lightly brushes the snare?! You’d think Keith would understand that zeppelin wouldn’t work without heavy drums, but it actually doesn’t surprise me considering Keith is way less talented than Brian Jones.
I started playing 5 months or so ago, started with an old busted up acoustic. Practiced maybe 1.5 hours a day. Right before Christmas I bought myself a 50s classic vibe strat. Now I have to force myself to put it down. I practice at least 6 hours a day on the weekends now and love every minute
Learn something cool and fun each week, something you can show people to try and impress them...still do the chord changes, still do the scales...but if learners don’t see progress and don’t enjoy it, they quit
I am so glad to here this John it just validates my exactly what I was thinking, see man this just took me home and back 😅. I've e been gone wsy to long, lol Gratitude RHCP, CLAN FOR LIFE
I am a beginner guitarist and a friend of mine suggested me to learn math rock and basically every other genre will be a piece of cake after this. Is it true??
Remember, this interview was from a while back, before a lot of the tutorials and tablature websites on the internet. If it were now, Frusciante would specify in recommending people learn by ear.
Don't fool yourself. Music theory and guitar playing are complex and take a lot of discipline to master. Passion is only a small part of the equation. Daily work and practice--even when you don't feel like it--are crucial. You won't improve much otherwise.
I have to partially disagree with you - of course music theory is important but I only started to improve once I played what I really want to play and when I feel like it. If you learn from great guitarists like Hendrix etc. by recognizing certain patterns, you can sometimes learn more than just practicing your joy for playing guitar to death - but that's just my opinion :)
It depends what you mean by music theory is complex. If you learn the minor and major scales on guitar for every key and the notes in general, you can all ready understand a lot of solo's from guitarists.
@HCC People also need to realise that improvement doesn’t show day to day - the medium and long term are when you realise how far you’ve come as guitarist. Also that you cannot express passion without the hard learned techniques.
some people only play the patterns and things that they learn from songs, but what hes saying is play what you hear in your head and innovate. make music.
Guitar is all about stealing from others and somehow making it your own... the groupings, the bends, the slight alteration. It is all recycled yet can be new in ways that are unpredictable.
Pureeeeeee talent, these guy is really good . I don't dig the peppers that much but boy is this guy good .. The other guitar guy is good, too ( sorry bro, forgot ur name ), and the PJ Harvey dude they had .. But Jon is another level .. Not to mention their bassist, not even gonna go there ..
Josh Klinghoffer and Dave Navarro are great in their own right and they made some great music with RHCP, but it's like John's purpose in life was to play with them because he's so damn good.
En pocas palabras, aprender la mayor cantidad de canciones posibles y también aprender teoría musical no para esclavizarte a sus reglas, sino más bien para poder romperlas sabiendo lo que estás haciendo.
Today's kids can't even read a book without looking at their phones every 5 seconds....No way they could concentrate long enough to learn basic music theory.
