John Frusciante’s Tone For Otherside

[@mlerici]

Geez, this videos are so valuable!!!!! You're nailing it!!! Perhaps once and for all solving all of John's studio mysteries. Can't wait for more

[@MistaMahcos]

Just getting started haha

[@oscarsrensen7280]

Very cool with all the attention to detail and video production

[@MistaMahcos]

Thanks man there was allot of information I left out but I’ll leave it for future videos for sure!

[@leopleyer4400]

Really love the in depth analyses of the studio recordings. Keep it up man👍🏼

[@MistaMahcos]

Only getting started!

[@Vigi]

Wow you make really nice videos 🤩

[@MistaMahcos]

Thank you Vigi!

[@anthonysclafani3963]

this was really close, love your channel

[@MistaMahcos]

Thanks man I think I had too much compression going on there 😅 I do think the solo tone is close!

[@anthonysclafani3963]

@@MistaMahcos it's like 98% there and we don't have hollywood studios, you're too hard on yourself lol. I listen to the guitar master track all the time and it's incredibly close :)

[@MistaMahcos]

@@anthonysclafani3963I wish I could find a really good backing track. Most of them use those track removal websites and you can still hear some frequencies that squeeze in the audio.

[@CamiloVelandia]

Thanks for doing this, man!

[@FohnJrusciante-ck9vq]

Awesome video!

[@kurtdenizci]

Very cool in depth analysis. Could you give an idea about a general post EQ setting for DAW?

[@alparotti]

Sounds pretty good! 🤟

[@MistaMahcos]

Thank you 🙏

Don't be so hard on yourself you're probably super tired from setting everything up (even the californication background, which is an excellent touch by the way) and listening to everything over and over again... The tones are amazing, love the guitars! This one deserves to be on the other side (no pun intended) of the book ;D

[@MistaMahcos]

Thanks man your too kind! I am hard on myself haha though, I’m not disappointed in myself. I’m just not going to claim that I came super close. That would be a false claim. But your probably right I spent hours messing with knobs, levels, and setups. Sometimes you have to take a break and step back from these tones then reevaluate. Which is what I’m doing for this song!

[@kafedziski]

You're doing great! Every video is becoming even more "professional" in terms of angles, moods & cuts, not to mention all the vintage gear and your playing. Would love to see the falcon in other videos, maybe a californication inspired solo improvisation or something, doesn't have to be a full in depth tone recreation ;D

[@iArthuro]

Que buen sonido sacaste bro !!

[@MistaMahcos]

Gracias amigo!

[@masterofreality230]

Wow, for some reason I would have never guessed he was using a big hollowbody for this album, but I never looked into it.

[@MistaMahcos]

I find it hard to believe he didn’t have allot of gear when he rejoined the peppers to record the album. Let alone a rare gretsch like that? Who knows there’s not allot of info online about the production.

[@danielalejandro5720]

could you make can’t stop?? please

[@MistaMahcos]

Yes I plan to!

[@laurent1678]

YES

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

Dis Video good :D

I dunno how to explain it but your sound has some metallic tone to it comparing to John's

[@MistaMahcos]

The tunomatic bridge saddles are made out of metal and Johns falcon had a syncrosonic bridge and the saddles are made out of somthing else some sort of hard plastic. That’s why I think it sounds metallic also

[@michakowalski2930]

Plus he was recorded to tape that does sth to the highs
