[@413fps]

OMFG thank u so much vigi I always been so lazy to figure out this song, and I trust your ear like no one :P really appreciate this vid mate

[@Vigi]

Yay! I’m really happy you actually checked out the lesson and that it helped you. :) I was planning on getting it done earliest since you asked for it. Thank you very much! :)

[@carlosmancheno590]

Maravilloooooso!! Enorme...q bonito suena...😊😊😊

[@Googleybear00]

You play this tune like it's supposed to be played, with power

[@Vigi]

Indeed the song needs power 🤘

[@jfw1991]

It’s a bit distracting lol

[@nathanrussell5700]

Best rendition and closest feel to John's playing style I've found. Awesome!!!

[@Vigi]

I’m super happy to hear that! :) Thank you!

[@MultiGamesbr1]

i used to listen to the master track of this song and think it was impossible to me, you've made it possible. thanks man!

[@Vigi]

That’s awesome to hear! Thank you! ☺️

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

Great playing and tutorial for this cool old classic by RHCP!!

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! The guitar for this song sounds so cool. :)

[@torturedmasterpiece8105]

absolutely loved this lesson i’m sure john would approve ;) do more this like this!

[@Vigi]

I’m sure John doesn’t care, haha. :D But seriously, thank you very much. That means a lot. More to come. :)

[@torturedmasterpiece8105]

Vigi i’m saying that he would probably think it was a good explanation :) your cover of under the bridge with your friend is very good! have a good rest of your day

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! Have a great day! :D

[@lukabanovic2937]

You're a legend!

[@Vigi]

Haha not sure about that but thank you! :)

[@SteveSzara]

Love the lesson. Simple but effective! Love it

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! I was afraid people would find it too long. But I really enjoyed making it this way. :)

[@patrickacke2617]

Just came across this. If its not too late for me to learn this its not to late for me to say great lesson!

[@rustamsmusicchannel4918]

super duper song and cover

[@ZachOry1985]

Thx for sharing. I know the song some time, but i only saw the video on youtube where they record it. Damn i was flashed by john and his guitar at the beginning, so rad

[@Vigi]

That recording is magical. I love the whole documentary! ☺️

[@bigtrouble76]

Ottimo! Mi mancavano alcuni passagi,grazie!

[@timons7446]

Wow what a mighty sound! I didn't compare it to the original but I think the sound is spot-on. I have to learn this song one day :)

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! :) Well the original uses 12 strings so it has a really different sound. But I like both. :) It’s a fun song to learn. :)

[@timons7446]

@@Vigi Ah yeah you're right. But the tone is similar. It's a huge Sound with lots of bass but still enough clarity. How did you record it?

[@Vigi]

Just with a SM57 in a treated room. :)

[@timons7446]

@@Vigi I see. Your sound is very consistent despite of movements while playing. Could you describe the mic position (distance / angle), please? And did you use compression? When I record acoustic guitar it sounds a mess. Obviously I should treat my room acoustically but also the dynamic range is jumping all over the place :D

[@Vigi]

Oops I now see I used the Neumann TLM102 for this one. Honestly, I just winged it. I didn’t follow any strict rules. Mic pretty straight. No angle. You can see the side of the shock mount of the TLM102, so that’s the distance. Yeah I usually use compression, EQ if I feel like it. Then I usually create a bus track or two for reverb. The bus tracks are usually panned to make it sound wider and more alive. ☺️ And most importantly, play with passion!! 🔥😁

[@rafaelsk8500]

Perfect

[@Vigi]

Thank you! :)

[@EminaS]

Ahhhh I love this so much!!! The way you play an acoustic guitar is always so surprising, it's like you're trying to break her ("girl" I suppse is what you call her hahahaha; this could also be called "Breaking the mic"-I laughed...). And it's exactly how I wanted your tutorials to be!!! Oh Vigi, thanks so much for coming down to my mortal level, I have so much to learn from you ♡ Mine still sounds like breaking something else: wine glasses on granite floor because you've helped me discover the guitar can offer new types of PAIN unbeknownst to me yet (here I thought I knew them all by now and we were friends). It's so cool how the chords (can) sound when played this way using the fat-finger hugging technique. Do you think if I do enough of it my fingers will get fatter? They should, right?

[@jeffreyschmoldt7798]

Great job. Thanks for the lesson . going to learn it on the 12 string.

[@Vigi]

Thank you! Oooh! So awesome! I wish I had a 12-string to play this song too. :)

[@coombecarp]

Lovely touches and great playing! Cheers dude 🙂

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! Take care! ☺️

[@corpsdepaix1746]

Very impressive 🤐🤐 GG man! From France

[@Vigi]

Thank you! :)

[@gerardoherrera5819]

Very good lesson!! I play the same chords but I didn't know the second chord of the bridge. Thanks for teaching. Greetings from Chile 🙂

[@Vigi]

Thank you very much! :)

[@leoza0]

thanks man, i learned to play this beautiful song because of your video, now i need fluent english to record a cover haha From Brazil!

[@Vigi]

Awesome to hear! ☺️ Haha. My problem is I can’t sing. 😅

[@skalewilly]

I like this song. Great job in the guitar!!!!

[@Vigi]

Me too! Thank you! :)

[@JaulaDePajaro]

Learning to play powerful songs like these is exactly why my strings are always out of tune or just missing from my guitar completely...

[@Exderius]

You're such an inspiration. How long have you been playing, vigi?

[@levbuchnev2597]

Great lesson thank you sir

[@Vigi]

Thank you!

What? 😅

[@michamarek9267]

What strings are you using in this video? And what model of guitar is it? :D Sounds great and you explain it very well. If you could record more acoustic tracks in the future of rhcp it would be great ;)

[@Vigi]

D’addario 10s, Martin 000-15m. :) I’ve very happy to hear that. I’d love to do more. :D

Hello Vigi, how are you!💖, I'm learning the song This one, it's very good...hey, could you put the subtitles in Spanish?🤔, the KZbin translator doesn't work, it translates other things, which don't make sense, thank you very much! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷💖

Nooo men te salio igual q buenoo ,estaba buscabdo una clase asi pero no se x donde comenza xq nose tocar la guitarra y mi ingles no es bueno 7u7

[@Caio-rc2fr]

Tuning is Eb

[@mitchnorman596]

Something seems off about the rhythm at the beginning, but anyway thanks!

[@Vigi]

Hmm, do you mean the fact that the original song doesn't have that classical even strumming pattern, but almost a kind of "stuttering" pattern? Or do you think my "stuttering" technique is off? The intro strumming pattern of this song is indeed really special. Thank you!

[@mitchnorman596]

I haven’t quite put my finger on it still! hahaha I hope you didn’t take it as me saying you’re playing it wrong because I used your video to teach myself. You’re 100% right though, its a special pattern, I find all of Frusciante’s playing to have these subtle nuances that can be hard to duplicate. Cheers man!

[@Vigi]

Haha ok! No, I didn’t take it in any bad way. Just curious what you meant since I could learn from what you think. :) Indeed he does small nuance differences that makes a large difference. I don’t think I got it perfectly like the original, just something with the same basic idea. :)

[@Deicidal999]

I think it's because he seems to be playing it in a 4/4 time signature when it should be in 6/8. Idk maybe he is counting in 6/8

[@buzzbill2029]

Fucking A.
