John Frusciante - Stadium Arcadium (Guitar Tracks) 

Damn Right

Azemina Valentina hnjssss

Si Si Siiii!! !! !!

He's the reason I started playing guitar

Azemina Valentina yes!

Guitar tracks only but goes to show how consistens this guy was able to play. Never doubted his creativity but stability?! More than 5min staying on the beat and repeating the same pattern over and over again?!

@@Smoothways i think most of it wasn't straight playing. Maybe it was looped?

@@youssefrochdi1994 i dont think so.. there are tiny differences all over the playing. hiting a little stronger sometimes, missing some notes (especially on second verse). but still a masterpiece.

@@leitaogoncalves well if it's not looped then it's just one more proof that Frusciante is a beast

@@youssefrochdi1994 totally agree

it heals my soul

All songs are a masterpiece

Yes it is.

Probably my favorite at the moment

Their best ever

Hahaha!yes

I was about to click it, but I realized hahahaha

What bit?

same

@@allistergraham6704 r/whoosh?

Triple like

@@clodmaple the description copy this comment lol

Fuck yeah

I dont believe, im crying

@@jesussssss1581 Same, I'm still pinching myself in case it's a dream! There are very few guitarists that are still around that I utterly look upto as a player, John is right up there! I've had a pretty crap year this year, but the news he is coming back again made me forget every single bad bit of it! The best Christmas present ever! Thank you John, can't wait to hear what you do next with RHCP, even if it's only a bunch of shows! x

Я знал, что это случится. Из невозвращенцев у нас остались только два придурка из Oasis и состав The Misfits'95.

Been awhile

What I really love about snow is how it flows, there's a lot happening with the arpeggios but it doesn't sound busy. In a word rhythm guitar perfection. Might get trolled for that but I don't care.

Ryan Howell Yeah, I can't even begin to imagine playing that riff for four minutes straight. That's tough.

I consider him a guitar hero, in fact, fuck hero, the man is a god!

Totally agreed! And after spending weeks learning to play this song.. I keep wondering how in the hell did he come up with it?!

Mohammed Alhabsi look up the snow (hey oh) commentary on youtube and he explains it

Edit: I can't love Frusciante, cus i don't know him, i love his work

It took you 3 months to realize this?

@@clos87 Your a little troll you arent ya, and 2 months*

I don't know him and I love him. You just got to feel him.

Plot twist: John Frusciante and your father are the same person

XD

He is BACK 😀😀😀😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪👌👌👌👍👍👍

I can tell that you are so into John and all that he has to offer. Can’t think of anyone or anything better.

I guess he feels differently now about the guitar, specifically the sounds coming from his strat, of course. I know your post is 4 years old now, but I wonder what tricks John has up his sleeve for the 2021 album?

@@happyrules22 Yep I wonder if Frusciante think about how many or how much people are waiting for his last return with the rhcp. I guess not that much if at all, that's how he always seems to be...

@@BGatts666 I imagine he thinks of everything, including thoughts like you mentioned. Yet, like a pro sports player, I believe he is better able to block those thoughts now than in the past. Especially when John isn't playing live, and has been out of the band from 2008 - 2019. Or, maybe he knows he can't "block" those thoughts, so he channels them differently or perhaps practices certain activities to promote mental wellness. I know RHCP became big on staying healthy during Californication era, and they have only stayed more true with that aim since. There are all of these videos online of them talking about yoga, or meditation, etc. It made sense for them as a band to be more mindful of their actions/thoughts since of course they were a wild group in the past. How John does things differently now compared to what he did/does with the band in the past and now only he and the band knows. Unless John has mentioned what he does in his recent 2020 interviews where he talks about a little of everything. I recommend you try reading one of those interviews if you have time!

@@happyrules22 Yup all the things you're saying is called growing up. When John was a drug addict was 20's. And yes, in the music its the same, your music evolve with you.

@@happyrules22 I honestly think a lot of people will be disapointed. They're expecting 2000s John's sound back, or even 90s. But he did a lot of experimental and eletronic stuff in the last years. And It probabbly will impact the new album

Same

@@roger_001 after hearing this video, I can say almost everyone plays the final part of the solo wrong, at least on RU-vid.

@@pauloguitar4366 true, everyone plays their own version. Btw, have you seen this video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eE3dUUj4_4Q.html

@@roger_001 no, but this is really useful, thanks! Many people do actually miss these nuances in his playing, like the ghost fret hand mutes mixed with the little licks he does.

@@pauloguitar4366 Totally agree with you man, theres a lot that goes on in all his compositions that you can hear the same song multiple times and always hear something new. love the layers and textures he uses. glad you enjoyed the video!

Yea imagin hearing that with Flea's bass, it's a masterpiece

It’s seems like Yann tiersen stuff

thats right

56:40 The outro to "Wet Sand". Like hearing someone screaming through a guitar.

1:22:59 My personal favourite is the solo of "she looks to me" - only 4 notes (technically 2, bc octaves), but so god damn emotional. You can even hear how every of them is different and gets more stable than the former one - it sounds like an evolving primal scream from someone returning from the dead.

J. Antonio sounds like he's using a talk box

I think it's just wah wah

underrated? lol rly?

+Orlando Vera I think he created his own style, thats makes a good artist, salutes.

+Orlando Vera Underrated?He's often called the best alive and one of the greatest ever.

Tom morello?....Page?

+Lalo Gzz underrated as in doesn't get nearly enough credit for being as talented as he is

Travis O'Brien thanks for this

I'd say it's not really what's in the song

@@nacchoss it' exacly what's in the song...

Travis O'Brien Sounds like a big muff, it gets kinda hidden beneath the warmth of fleas bass on the full track, probably why it’s hard to hear

That sounded fucking awesome lol

RadioStock exacto

Yep. I'm wet sand.

Absolute stand out for me in a sea of genius.

Jelmer thanks 🙏

Many thanks...DUSTING OFF THE SAVIOR

You're man

Jelmer I mean, it was in the description already. Appreciate it though.

Thanks man 🤙🍻

Karl Schievelbein FINALLY! somebody who loves that solo too

Huh, just 2-3 bends... seriously, or sarcasm?

I've been scrolling through the comments looking to see if somebody mentioned this

Verpelier089 probably thinks shredding the whole guitar at the speed of light is better than putting effort and emotion on your music.

verpeiler089 The absolute elegance and heart-wrenching quality of simple beauty; when you're older, you'll maybe understand.

Yeah, his backing vocals are awesome!!

Yes!!! The ultimate John experience. That would’ve been even better for sure.

parole sacrosante

He's said that he purposely introduces those little things to make the music seem more authentic in both the band's work and his solo work.

@@typalmer6850 You must have misunderstood him if you think he said he purposely introduces mistakes. He purposely leaves them in rather than redoing them, but he doesn't fuck up on purpose, that would be even faker than polished perfection. I mean you're suggesting that he puts in imperfections "to make the music seem more authentic", come on man don't be ridiculous. The music is authentic, it hasn't been tricked up to seem authentic.

@@johnarundell7951 While I agree with the logic and premise of what you're saying, I think it's important to note that certain styles of playing can introduce what appear to be imperfections in the sound at the expense of another musical component. An example of this is muting all but the desired string(s) rather than outright playing what the intended musical result is. This technique in particular can allow for a richer timbre overall, but may introduce issues like buzzing, or overtly noticeable transition between chords/notes that wouldn't otherwise be present etc.

He said once not to worry about mistakes. This has really freed up my playing not clinging to the neck for dear life so I don't mess up.

bobrock god yes

The solo breaks my heart every time.

That tone....

I've listened to the album so much, but not in this format so I wasn't sure what exact song it was. After going to it, I thought you were referring to the distortion part. But then the AMAZING solo occurred shortly after that...and I thought we'll duhhhh! That's what he meant!! Haha I don't know if I have ever actually cried to a John solo, but I sure have cried to many RHCP songs when the mood strikes.

this guitar that is really crying

super saiyan John

Super Saiyan 4 John

maybe 16

That's what Anthony said 🌶️

hahahaha this made me laugh my ass off!

Cheers

Damn you HAHAHAHAHAH

Mike Hawk can you nail most of the tones?

James Yates I got a list for all of the different settings to emulate the sounds of each song, so yeah pretty much nailed the tones

Mike Hawk sounds nice man! I've always been confused about the dani Cali last solo whether it's a big muff or just the ds2

It's just the DS-2, on Stadium Arcadium it's pretty much just the DS-2 for all the distortion, except for Readymade I think, some overdubs are classic overdrive on that one

ah right i heard some were the big muff but i didnt hear it myself! thanks

Michael Pachuta ok

There is a version of Slow Cheeath available. One word: gorgeous.

kjzejkezjk zeljzellza Absolutely. I only listen to that version instead of the one with AK singing.

its amazing

Idk before the beginning is too good. Just raw emotion released through guitar.

Best solo ever

@@surfboarding5058 And the build-up!

Daniel McIsaac Turn it again is insane towards the end.

Daniel McIsaac so true

+Stuart Hardy Cull word there's at least like 7 different layers of guitar blended together perfectly. quite amazing...quite amazing indeed

He left the band after touring this album is that right? A fitting swan song..... I'm still trying to play the chorus properly, that fast descending scale. As for the solo, forget it! I'm holding down the rhythm in that part.

+Stuart Hardy Cull Yes last performance '07, left '08, announced '09 … no doubt they were hoping he would change his mind :)

yes he has something special - i have played guitar for 33 of my 38 years and listened to everything and to me he is one of the most gifted players of our time.

I think it's the feel he has to his playing, it's not technically perfect but incredibly soulful. My favorite guitar player

Agreed, he has a way of playing that is really soulbound and percussive. And really uplifitng and powerful/ triumphant when he needs to be as well.

Positive and uplifting is a great way to describe it; I haven't read a negative comment under this video yet. Very refreshing.

he is everything a guitar player should be - full of identity and soul

Most basic chords in the world aswell

Inspired by over the hills and far away by Led Zeppelin

Adri González what song was that?

@@cherrysmoke33 death of a martian

This song is absolutely one of my favorite in this album, but I mean listening to it this way or only guitar+bass version. I really cried during the front chorus part...too many emotions...

I would bet you like deftones

Best song off Arcadium hands down

Big fan of John and his guitar style very impnspirational.Eventually he moved on to the synth world I did too along with him.Its nice to follow such creative musician who goes beyond the guitar world and just creates music with all possible ways.Love him,

Him and Jimi

Johnny Marr, though.

Best guitarist? Not even close

+Juan Pablo Cafena he's right up there though

+moe5555 I mean, i love rhcp and i think frusciante is great, but come on, he isnt even in top 10 (my opinion)

vicente moller for sure

100% best guitarist for me, there's a Lot of people who think that only technique matters

It's accelerated

Actually a cool riff

@@adriminajj1214 exactly, I mostly love hearing this on live shows

+José Leonardo Albarrán Arias just from heaven

I know i love it so much too

+Zander Aj I'm not one for cheese, though Tell Me Baby is probably one of my favorites on the album! (Along with Wet Sand, Hump De Bump, Death of a Martian, Turn it Again and So Much I)

I listened to Tell Me Baby again yesterday, and I may have changed my mind. Great song!

Alex Sanders, check it out on yt of how they made the tell me baby video, they invited musicians along thinking they were auditioning for a rhcp video and got an amazing surprise, well worth a look.

+Ste Ro did u check his EP release Forgrow ?

lucky for you, he's back in RHCP

i cant stand RHCP at all but absolutely love frusciantes playing. he should do solo stuff

@@LowKickMT He did do solo stuff, dawg. For like over a decade, I think that’s the main reason for him leaving the 2nd time

@@LowKickMT Didn’t care as much for it though, it’s a whole different genre, and very limited guitar, which is a big minus for me

César Castellanos Underrated too, its as if John knew he was leaving and just decided to throw everything he could into the album before exploring other genres!

Yeah. I also think his best work, talking about exploring guitar and sounds, is in this album. Simply amazing!

Ever

Prisms Edits some call him John. I call him God

what song is that

Cryptonical wet sand outro

@@GlucoseGarbage Wet Sand

wtf I never get tired of hearing this

Beautiful solo, John, thanks for sharing xd

I meant to say not one of my favorite...

Completely agree. Honestly there is a 100% correlation between John being in the band and them creating their greatest records.

So beautiful words, thank you

Purple haze !

Not underrated haha

Without any doubt! Clueless much? He would be embarrassed.

@@johnarundell7951 he doesnt think he is the "best guitarist" so i dont think he would be emabarrsed at all. a real guitarist doesnt compare themselves to anyone. influences? sure but i know for sure john doesnt think he is "better" than anyone

I’ve ever heard *

Which part is that, what time? Thanks.
