Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop - Guitar Cover

[@aidanmccluskey4136]

only guitarists can understand how great this cover and tone is.

[@carlhedlundmusic]

Thank you!

[@robertojenno]

The muting on this song is so difficult! I applaud this cover

Rob Jennings man I agree it's so damn hard

Proof that a cheap guitar in the hands of a skilled guitarist can sound like a 4 times more expensive guitar.

[@edwoodvine6793]

The guitar is still around £400 and the amp hes using is around £800. Its not as cheap of a setup as everyone is making it out to be just because they can see the squier logo.

[@Brog420]

Dont forget pedals and such

[@crimson1718]

Edward Woodvine huh ? You can get a squier strat for around $200 in 2018.

This is a perfec cover. You're so talentend. I think that you are a source of inspiration for all the newbie guitarist

[@sullysuhaimi]

What a cover. To achieve the tone similar to Frusciante's is something we all aspire to. Just like how most of us guitarists here would want the tone of Slash, Hendrix, SRV and maybe even Angus Young.

[@alejandromora5525]

The tone is exactly as the original! This is amazing dude!

[@cursedpellets44]

I think my favorite part about your whole cover is you're using the same gear we can all get and afford, it's your skill in playing that sets you apart.

[@claudioafalcao]

wow! amazing tone 🤟

[@RandyJamminMusic]

Not only is this a great cover but I think his gear is a great lesson for people wondering what kind of gear they should get. He just crushed every aspect of that song, the tone, the feel with a squire. I'm assuming he has a decent tube amp he's playing through. An amazing expensive guitar will sound like crap through a bad amp. But a cheaper guitar through a great amp, will sound great. I know there are very nice squires but I still think the point I'm trying to make stands. 10/10 the best guitar cover I've seen. I also never thought to use my second finger on the G string when playing the first E root note progression on the main riff. I would always just jump my first finger back and forth between the E and G strings.

[@Mrsmacieks]

Guy literally nailed the sound with a Squier

[@adamsaladin1562]

Great guitarists can make any guitar sound great. A lot of top guitarists have low-end guitars in their inventories/collections. It’s all about the feel and the guitarist. I mean Jeff Healey played a Squier and he was legendary.

[@thehomefront1905]

Perfect my friend, playing and tone.

[@santinodellacroce2079]

this is amazing!! Great cover bro. I love when ppl play it exactly like it was written.

[@joewitowski54]

Small Clone? Sounds perfect. Tad bit heavy on the solo reverb. But still the best RHCP guitar cover on YT. Good job.

[@reileyb]

This song is all technique and you definitely nailed it. You can nail the tone pretty easily on almost any strat bridge pick up. The technique is what makes the song.

As a percussionist I understand how hard it is to have anything sound good in a video 😅, props to the guitarist and the community 👏

[@christguy77]

How many of you judged right away because he's playing a Squier? Just goes to show that it isn't always about the guitar you play. What a great cover.

[@gaysquirrels6915]

Logan Carrigan no cause im a squire player! They are good guitars, however those bullet ones seem like crap!

[@Jakko25]

He could've changed the pick ups but I think as long as you have a decent amp any guitar can sound this good...and also if you can actually play the thing 😂 This guy though has nailed tone and technique

[@featheryfemme]

@aNtiDIsEsTabLisHMenTaRiAniSM StRuCtuREd aGaiNSt yOu Have you ever even touched a Squier? They're really nice guitars, especially the Classic Vibes. I mean, as long as it's not a Bullet, it may as well be a misprinted Fender.

[@razmazerz]

I did, because my squier can't sound like his.

[@sank3725]

Damn, this song is perfect a sick bass line and a sick guitar line aswell, you made it so the bass line and the guitar didnt overshadow eachother through good mixing. You make the song have more rhythm :D

This is perfection. The feel the tempo the tone, every note. I’m gunna use this as motivation.

[@jakeboyd2361]

Really good man. The only thing I'd suggest is to play the barre chords with the open F shape instead. That's how Frusciante plays it, and the thumb wrap definitely adds a different sort of texture. Great!

[@bigoz1734]

Those high notes at 1:52, so subtle but work perfectly

No problem!! Remember that MIM Strato's or Mexican Stratocasters are also great guitars, maybe not like an american, but are so similar ^^ AND CHEAPERRR HEHE :3 Greetings from Argentina ^^

This Classic Vibe Squier is better than MIM Fender !

[@FederaceGamer]

Nah, have tried both and there's a very close difference, but if you're not in a band or you're not playing live the classic vibe is a great option

[@bogdanjovanovic851]

Perfect cover man, can you tell me how to get similiar tone on easiest way?

[@carlhedlundmusic]

Thanks a lot man! To get this sound I recommend using the drive channel on your amp with very low gain, where it's just breaking up. Use the bridge pickup on your single coil guitar and use a compressor to make it sound more percussive. A little bit of spring reverb helps it sound bigger. Hope this helps!

If I didn't have enough money for all the pedals which one pedal should I get just for the main riff. THANKS

[@carlhedlundmusic]

A compressor pedal was the only pedal I used on the main riff. Clean sounds generally sound better with compressors because the tone gets more powerful and "in your face".
