[@bumblefritz]

8:05 "So yeah, I think that covers everything in that song-..." [WWHOOWWDEDALWOOWWDEEDAAWOOOWHHH]

[@fredericohartmann8882]

+bumblefritz HAHAHAH that was the best part!

[@anthonybarajas3052]

LMFAOOOO

[@tricko8000]

LMAO XD

[@Hurrishane03]

Omg I’m dying

[@strocat25]

I think the solo in this song is one of the best solo's of all time.... do do deee doo duh duh duh dun nuh nun

[@Xenotypic]

blew me away the first time i heard it

[@explosionmental2781]

its actually a hendrix one

[@loo524]

explosion mental Hendrix influenced

[@400_billion_suns]

yup, take a listen to the intro of Purple Haze by Jimi. It's in a different key, but the solo of Dani is definitely paying tribute to that song.

[@acojankovic3709]

I agree wherever it’s played I stop what I’m doing and just rock out to it

[@raonefsouza]

His tone is so fucking perfect.

[@ronenbo33]

what a legend ... you can see right away that he is thinking about music all of his life !

[@strat3565]

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

[@anaalnsiqueira]

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...

[@guitarsandgaming332]

I hope that wasnt sarcasm :p

[@anaalnsiqueira]

+Nathan King it wasn't sarcasm, it's pure love. :)

[@effiemars_]

Taking a guitar track and passing it through a synthesizer to make it sound like a wah pedal? If that ain't genius...

[@skinnychicken99]

it is extremely TASTY when he starts harmonizing whilst playing, god bless

[@flyingtoeverywhere]

This guy is smart but naturally humble so he reached the level that only few people can..

[@javagal65]

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!

[@da_great_mogul]

Yes but Tom Petty wants his royalties owed on "Mary Jane's Last Dance".

[@Waverer]

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

[@RolanRock]

+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)

[@Waverer]

i can't really listen to the electro stuff but it's fine by me. I love curtains and to record only water for ten days.

[@seanhagen5847]

+RolanRock Unreachable solo❤️

[@marccattell842]

stadioarcadio your wish came true! 🤘🏼

[@BlackBalloonGraz]

@@marccattell842 yes he Is with RHCP again.. Days ago in the news. Great

[@TheShadowsFarewell]

"It makes me sound like a genius." Dude, you are a genius!

[@Jimbomiles]

You don't realise how complex these things are until you see stuff like this. Very good.

[@Walkens1]

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.

[@MrLivingsworth]

12 years later thank you so much

[@Walkens1]

@@MrLivingsworth You're very welcome :)

[@КристинаВьюшкова-ф2д]

Thanks a lot!❤13 years later😊

[@bardsamok9221]

D+E+F combo plus Ab + B combo in the same chord (inverted).

[@loljar]

I FREAKING LOVE that outro solo in the very end. I shiver every time I hear it.

[@rakheshpm]

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*

[@volt0z]

Love the man! He spent about 20 minutes to explain every bit of the song. What a great musician!

[@DarthNihilus]

It's just so cool to see how much joy he gets out of playing. He's a real idol in my eyes.

[@mrlegkick91]

I wish I could absorb all is knowledge into my brain somehow lol

[@tomek9619]

***** 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

[@mrlegkick91]

***** twat.

[@TiasAhlgreN]

mrlegkick666 Let's kill him, and snort his ashes! *laughs frantically*

[@davidchavers2956]

One of the greatest guitarist of all time...

[@susansoper7688]

Definitely

[@Acidwave88brah]

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!

[@EnchantingIllusion]

"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 :)

[@jennyjenny8662]

You are a Maestro..Genius..Maverick..Extraordinaire..You are to be the one and only John Frusciante

[@GG8920]

An amazing musician and I could listen to him talk about music all day.

[@andrewhassell9891]

He is a guitar god, and Im more than ecstatic he is back in the fold. Been jamming rhcp ever since the news.

[@gomezpoquito1236]

God! I love this man!!! I can't find another musician with the talent he has.

[@leadersama09]

4:02 one way to make great harmonies. Beautiful.

[@green_building]

“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

[@musicgetsmehigh1989]

"makes me sound like a genius" even if he wished it he could not not sound like a genius! john...my little angel

[@tchek1980]

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

[@alexandre1129]

amazing guitarist amazing songwriter simply amazing! John Frusciante is the man!

[@seanhagen5847]

If anyone understands harmony it's this man

[@Diegomermer]

only john can make a distorted, monstrous, powerful chord riff and make it into something soft, gentle, and peaceful.

[@NeferKIK]

Fuck. Fuckiing Genius...

[@jake3189]

i love how much work the peppers put into recording every time i listen to a song i always find a new track that i didnt hear b4

[@colouredfreeways]

john is such a beautiful soul

[@WayneCasey25]

He is my favorite humain being.

[@isaacmayes3653]

0:50 - 1:02 , i cant stop smiling

[@SuperDayv]

I could listen to 4:02 over and over and over and I'd be smiling the whole time.

[@marybethl940]

Love this guy!

[@tam705618]

I never know there can be so much in one song. Thank you.

[@Ogscottyp]

You know what a very special guy you have when you look at the YT comments and find not a single troll in the bunch. John Frusciante. Awesome.

[@boudibla4011]

It DOES make you sound like a genius John. Awesome

[@graffickattackDOTcom]

Humble and awesome guy! Also a noteworthy guitarist whose been perceived to be in the fringes among a line of well known guitar players.

[@fdper9798]

Love his playing and I love the video of this song.

[@MisterF_1984]

"it makes me sound like a genius" haha john you are a genius!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

This was great. Especially how he used the envelope filter on his modular synth and his murf pedal.

[@geo100020002]

when i listen to that harmony part now i cant help but hear john humming in the background

[@mawanwala1]

You're good guitarist John-my best! I'm fond of your creation-your songs and lyrics and almost all good songs of RCHP(good-god band)is yours!!!

[@dr05guitar]

wow, so much went into the production of this song, gives you a whole other appreciation for it.

[@lukikrestuki69]

it makes him sound like a genius , he is a genius!!

[@johnrodriguez458]

[@KenjiKitahara]

You are Genius John! Thanks for sharing!

[@fullmetalfunk]

That's an awesoem interview. Thanks for posting this!

[@MSA]

i think what flea does on the bass, chad on the drum, anthony with his voice, and especially john with his guitar makes dani california an artwork

[@trainwreckhavoc]

oh john.. thanks so much!!

[@Ishbu101]

I got it too...its perfect. The Cd's are fun to listen to, and really helpful..just the guitars by themselves.

[@GRRJayyy]

no matter how old he gets, he still looks like a 15 year old getting his first Fender when he smiles

[@falconserek]

Very nice man i think... and the best guitarist on the world of course!

[@PineappleDrumz]

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 :)

[@jotapp2050]

maeeeeeeeeeesstrooooooooooooooo

[@timeghost182]

oh my fuck!!! that TONE! 00:50 seconds in

[@zqltiiczql]

he is making some good harmony points... he is a cool guy

[@drummondF]

is it any wonder why this guy is my favorite guitarist?

[@rickyandtherebels2802]

Awesome.

[@jasonfield632]

That Strat sounds amazing!

[@nathanfoster7989]

He could make a pos squier sound good.... it ain’t the guitar, it’s the guy playing it.

[@Idod]

Best guitarist ever :)

[@christinafrusciante]

john rules this freaking world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cherrysmoke33]

his guitar sounds so beautiful, i can't get that sound on mine.

[@pfmrokman]

That may have been the awesomest awesome that ever awsomed. Great post...Got more?

[@canadianmaple09]

That's right on! Thanks so much for your help! It's a lot higher up than I was trying, but I was right that it's the same shape shifted up!

[@Medster66]

the best guitarist in the world and lol he can't help but just continue to jam after his explaining the bit.

[@thesuperkira]

GEENIUSSS!!!!

[@cesarydias]

John é o melhor sem dúvida alguma!!!!!

[@sk8ericeee]

[@mitya55]

[@Olpaj]

listening to the record, id never figure out its so sophisticated

[@edgarr8339]

now i know the strumming by watching you...thank you!

[@canadianmaple09]

Thanks, that makes perfect sense! I don't know why I didn't think of that. You basically just slide it up from the D minor with slight variations.

[@Ultima2876]

Thanks for this video, it's awesome. Do you have any more like it?

[@Jbeliski]

HELL of a great guy to explain this great song. Thanks John, and yur brain too! haha
