Keep practicing under the bridge. You'll get it someday. Lol

[@ItsTheFitzCPT]

Christopher Violante I was expecting at least one Nirvana song tbh.

[@Chrispy_tV]

ItsTheFitzCPT you think? If it was a jag or a JM I would agree but I have to disagree for the strat. I don't think Kurt ever publicly played one, may have owned one but no one saw him play it (that I can find )

[@rickeyryan303]

Mustang, and jazz master.. Never played live with a strat..

[@rickeyryan303]

Ya one song and it was Pat Smears that he got for Kurt not long before that show..

[@heavy_marc]

Hey Robert, forget the guitar, you may be the next Spielberg. Seriously, think about it, Directed by Robert Parker, Another Robert Parker Production, etc..., Hollywood is calling! Your lessons are great, but I'm waiting to see your 1st Big Movie. Great lighting, seamless editing, clear closeups, high production values, crisp sound, think about it

[@boki3161]

If you think about making a part 2 you should put an Iron Maiden or Judas Priest riff in my opinion

[@Hallalo]

BOBO 10 no really Strat!

[@willbullement2969]

Under the bridge was recorded on a Jaguar

[@DavidConnorsMusic]

Heard Free Ride this morning and instantly thought "that is a strat set to position 4". This video confirms it. Thank you.. Always been a tele and HB guy, but recently picked up a strat style guitar (Reverend Eastsider S) for inspiration and have been loving clean strat tones in positions 2-4.

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

1: Run To You - Bryan Adams 2-10: Anything Ritchie Blackmore and Yngwie Malmsteen

[@stephandelaney4097]

The intro is how I look at my strat before I play. My girlfriend doesn't like when I drool on the carpet...

[@stevekaufmann8109]

You should've played every song ever recorded on a strat. It's the only way to keep the comment section happy

[@12stringblues]

Great licks, But under the bridge is played on a Jaguar ... some songs I love on a Strat are Layla:Clapton, Wicked Game:Chris Isaak cliffs over dover:eric johnson and jeff beck the Wired album. Thanks

[@metalboy5150]

Albert Pena As others have said in these comments, Under the Bridge was recorded on a Stratocaster. Frusciante only used the Jag for overdubs in the studio, and for the video. Except for overdubs, all of Blood Sugar Sex Magic was recorded on a Stratocaster.

[@GogiRegion]

Purple Haze tone was too trebly and grainy (still with good playing; bridge pickup?), but Manic Depression had really awesome tone.

[@jdavis13777]

I would love to see a video on how you dialed in such a beautiful strat tone. I've been trying to get my strat to sound that nice, and I feel like I can never quite get that true bell like strat tone

[@BeefNEggs057]

jdavis137 Most likely your amp? Just a guess. MIM strat stock pickups are a little less chimey if thats what you have. Little darker. Just a couple of things I’m passing on in my tone journey. Recommend a Princeton Reverb and some alnico pups (avoid the noiseless and obviously the humbuckers if you want chime and glass). ✌🏼

[@jdavis13777]

David D thanks! I have an '89 MIM with Texas Specials, and I think you are probably right about the amp. I brought it to a store and played it on a really nice tube amp and it was beautiful. I've been looking for an amp upgrade and I'll definitely check out the Princeton reverb. It looks like exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@casparclothier3768]

jdavis137 less mids, more presence/treble. Look for clear sounding pickups

[@jdavis13777]

I took your advice and just got myself a '65 reissue Princeton Reverb and it sounds INCREDIBLE! Thanks! I finally have my dream strat setup!

[@neilrichardson7204]

[@dannystrickland950]

Robert Baker looking forward to that

[@davidmoya8340]

Super strats are lame

[@jasonkennedy2348]

I used to think strats were only for Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and County twangers. Till I stumbled across a heavy known late 80s Tri Stereo (Dytronics/Eventide) chorus sound. They were also playing exotic and heavy distorted solos with SING COIL Strats in that effects setting. I never knew lol!!! I looked for videos and can’t find ANY where they are using a Les Paul!! I was kinda ticked because I’m actually a Les Paul guy myself lol!

[@bv2001]

Rory Gallagher?David Gilmour? RITCHIE BLACKMORE?

[@TwoWeekCowboy]

Buddy Holly? Jeff Beck? Randy Bachman?

[@stratmanuk]

I've had lots of guitars and my favourite music is the more metal stuff i.e. All the solo Ozzy stuff, Van Halen, Extreme etc but I still prefer my Strat to any other guitar! A few tweaks on the amp and it'll sound awesome playing anything from The Shadows to Motorhead!

[@danscheffki8576]

all of those were spot on ...the Jeff Beck / Rod Stewart version of People Get Ready is another one that comes to mind with the perfect strat tones :)

[@stavborochov1673]

Really annoys me as a mark knopfler fan that litterly everyone gets the strumming wrong on sultans of swings

[@MikeyCano]

Would you mind showing us the right way to play it?

[@wabisabi7891]

Hey it's not an easy riff! Knopfler parts are really unique so they are hard to get them right

[@somebodyelseuk]

Everyone playing Walk Of Life like it's a Status Quo song is the one that bugs me.

[@miken.4693]

As a Mark Knopfler fan it really annoys me when people say sultans of swings instead of Sultans of Swing.

New subscriber due to your very well riffed video! I'm a Strat and San Dimas guy (4 Strats/1 San Dimas). I have a thing for Daphne Blue and Surf Green finishes so the Strats are divided between those two colors and my San Dimas is Specific Ocean...I just love those hues. I'd love to see more Strat vids...this was very helpful for a newer player like myself!

0:20-0:30 me every time I see my Strat 😍😂 Also, SWEET harmonics on the SVR song. 👍

Under the Bridge was played on a Jaguar in the album recording and music video. However John usually played it live on a Strat.

Under the bridge was not played on a strat but on some not so common fender

Alexander jt was played on either a jaguar or a jazzmaster im not shure but i think jazzmaster

[@rainerwinkler1026]

He used a jaguar in the video but the recording is 100% strat. Frusciante used a jag for overdubs on blood sugar sex magik, but the whole album just screams Stratocaster

[@TheMelody911]

Detlef Davis nope! Jaguar!

[@automaticwriting4345]

again, no. he's right. he never used it for the recording, but only for overdubs and the music video for UTB.

[@Jayce800]

I literally just rediscovered Dreamweaver and it’s been a wonderful 150+ hours of having that song on loop

[@TheSLEmasters]

To me the strat is the quintessential electric guitar, even more so than the les paul. So many of the all time greats played strats primarily - SRV, Hendrix, Clapton, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, just to name a few.

[@DoctorRimfire_PhD]

Joey Farley It's a Fender VG Strat. It was made in correlation with Roland for a few years.

[@adriansoul7223]

John Mayer plays "who did you think i was" on the neck position with a bit of overdrive. Not in the 4th position with the middle and neck pickup.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Yes but 4th position gets rid of all of the hum from my pickups 😉

[@adriansoul7223]
