Learning before KZbin just sucked (especially if you were shy like me). I had a guitar teacher and Mel Bay books. I think the teacher was sort of a studio/jazz guy - I was listening to Cream at the time, he wasn't. Books were shit too - chords plus some sort of melody in standard notation. I quit for a while. Finally found Stefan Grossman and Arlen Roth with tab and little acetate "discs." And harmonica with the book by Tony Glover. The internet is a wonderful thing.

I found myself playing music, but my mind was in a different place, solely enjoying the sounds coming out of my guitar.

I learned so much from these lessons summer '06. Wasn't online though, had to buy the magazine....learned a lot from all the interviews too. They tracked Stadium Arcadium to tape, right as I upgraded my 4 track tascam to a digital 8 track Fostex. Then the Foo Fighters did ESP&G on tape, and I was bummed I switched to digital. For people new to recording, the secret is finding the 10 or 12 instruments (drums, elec. drums, perc., clean guitar, dist. guitar, bass, piano, acoustic, synth, vocals, etc.) Blend up and out from the drums. Keep things pulled back. Double track. No compression. EQ on everything. No excessive effects. Master reverb only. Higher tempo 100+. You can do this with Ableton, Reaper, Garageband, hardware, free trials, anything. There are a ton of free daws. Mic your guitars, go direct with bass. Mic a drum kit with overheads, record multiple people singing harmonies into the same mic, add air, cut less and get perfect takes more often. Tune down a half step. Sampling has a place. MIDI is extraordinarily powerful. All you need is a crappy used keyboard with MIDI in/out and a cable. The VSTs are great. But trim your shit down. Write music with the same tools over and over so you can develop your sound with those tools. If you switch tools too often, you'll be good at using lots of tools, but not so good at harnessing the energy to create powerful music. 22 years of guitar. No one ever cared about my rig. Guitar, cable, 2 channel amp. Everyone is spending too much time being their own Software Support Specialist that they're not sitting down and writing songs, or having experiences to write songs about. Live your life. Track your music with microphones. Forget about the noise. People will get over it. Rock n roll is in the heart. Not the sound or the image. It questions itself. People show up for it, pay for it, and consider it a big deal to have live rock music in their backyards. Write music for the people. Not for their money. Write music in celebration of our existence. Write music that goes into the machine, not out of the machine. Peace!

best guitarist of the last 20 years, at least that i can think of..haha it just seems really quality guitarists aren't valued in music like they were in the 60's and 70's in particular

When he plays it the guitar sounds like it’s talking, especially in the outro. Amazing. 😊

I've always though John Frusciante's style was the closest to Hendrix so hearing him say this really affirms how I've always idolised his playing from "blood sugar" and prior to that, M'milk.

I respect these people very much. He went after something he had been looking for years, money was never the goal for him. He looked for satisfaction. Every time when he record something and share it, I get excited. I hope one day we will meet and get a chance to thank you.

Although I doubt it there is speculation that he only joined RHCP to make enough money to isolate himself and make music alone for the rest of his life.

@@CJL-ib5ee it doesn't make sense to me. He managed to join a group he had become a fan of at age 18. remember what were you doing at the age of 18? it is a fact that he cannot cope with money and fame in his first attempt. but his traumas provided a great source of music and he left it to people as a beautiful legacy.
