My step dad is currently obsessed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers so I guess I’m gonna be learning this one.

[@victorjbarker]

Your step dad sounds totally cool 😎.. I am also a step dad who's totally obsessed with the Red Hot chili peppers lol

[@endokrin7897]

One cannot 'currently' become obsessed with them!! It's sort of a life-long thing ;) :)

[@chance_ondriezek99]

The Hendrix is strong with this one.

[@der_jannik_0115]

John F. is probably the biggest fan Jimi ever had. Just listen to Snow

[@seandog]

Marty or Frusciante? Never mind, both

[@itguy8900]

Correct

[@BerticusKarloff]

I am having a horrible time trying to get that bend in the beginning. I’ve been playing this wrong since 1992 and having a very difficult time getting my brain and fingers to work.

[@v9wolf223]

@@BerticusKarloff no wrong way to jam!

[@jonmaclennan]

Frusciante strat goodness! Yes Marty. Let's goooooooooo!

[@richardp5920]

I only like maybe a handful of RHCP songs, but what has always impressed me about the group is how their sound has evolved over the years, and stays contemporary.

[@izuhabel409]

im binge watching this tutorial im gonna get my first electric guitar in 3 days!! cant wait love your videos man

[@endokrin7897]

How's it going, 8 months later?

[@michaelmerrullo2043]

I don’t how my mornings would be without you. The hardest working teacher out there. Thanks for another cool lesson.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Awesome song by an awesome band! John Frusciante is a beast!

[@Travelwithchris]

Marty you killed this brother! 🔥

[@colbyo.o916]

honestly such a big fan of you marty, i’ve learnt so much from you and just wanted to say thank you :)

[@playinggames7856]

Man, I wish I had parents that put me in instrument (daughter and I started learning together)...anyway. I remember RHCP in high school ('91-ish), and thinking, 'yea, its okay'. Decades later, I realized how insanely good Flea was.

[@ziadjrmegahed4262]

Really appreciate your lessons marty big up from egypt

[@miguelrobertobayud6478]

I learned a lot from marty music .THANK YOU SO MUCH KEEP DOING GOD BLESS . from Philippines

[@catarinabelchiorbuischi5281]

[@jackscoular3235]

I've been waiting for this lesson

[@nics4934]

Hi Marty, any chance you will do tutorials for Khruangbin at some point? I think guitarists of all levels could learn a lot from their stuff. Thanks for all you do!

[@eloc285]

I love red hot chili peppers. By far the best teacher on KZbin! Also, could you do a lesson on a song from physical graffiti by led zeppelin. Thank you for all of the lessons

[@blingdingchickenwing9205]

A "Peace of Mind- Boston" tutorial would be absolutely amazing, could you do a video on this? thanks!

[@marcgreenleaf8822]

Me and my daughter love your videos every night we find a new song to learn, You are amazing. One song I would love to learn and can’t find anywhere is don’t kill my buzz by Cisco Adler please help us out and do a video on this awesome song. Thanx Marty keep doing your thing your the best

[@kealandormer1390]

Im over the moon youve posted this YES!

[@jacoposilvestri543]

[@alexashyer]

Great lesson, yet again!! I would love to see a lesson on "Castles In the Air" by Don McLean...GREAT song and would be so fun to learn! Thanks Marty!!

[@therealarsenic4301]

Such a great song man can’t wait to learn

[@kaidgorringe120]

Hi Marty! Just want to say thanks for all of the uploads! I was also wondering if you could possibly show us how to play "Feed Jake" by the Pirates of the Mississippi. It's a great song, but I can't seem to find a lesson on it anywhere even though it's been around for a while. Thanks for the consideration!

[@captain_green278]

I think the most excellent thing about this song is reversed solos

[@JackDaniel617]

Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik is one of my favorite records, has been since I first listened to it as a little kid in the 90s!

[@SolracJr0722]

Love it Marty! Been wanting to learn this one for a while now! ❤🔥

[@Happylink75]

One of my favorite songs by them Edit: Also Marty I have a song request for a lesson "Blew" by nirvana

[@lisal7666]

Love the tutorials! Any chance you could do one on Chris stapletons song Cold. Including the solo? Would be great!

[@whitefang9431]

Great lesson Marty, as always! been a viewer for a long time, but never made a request so here goes nothing. Could you do a video lesson for the song ROCK ME- GREAT WHITE! 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

[@creepyjoe1025]

Can't wait to try this one! Thanks!

[@asfandyarimran]

OMG i was just looking for that

[@no1sfancy858]

great vid again, It's been a while since we've had any rock solo lesson's or anything in that nature, is there a possibility of doing some more vids on that in the near future? just a suggestion, thanks for the amazing content

[@jeroenbossenbroek6299]

Thanks Marty! Love the tone.

Dude that’s a common problem. Most players probably spend more time doing that then playing. Don’t fall down that rabbit hole when you get one.

Funny everytime I'm looking for least your channel comes up. Nice sir ty

[@dylanwellner7365]

Nice! Please do Listen to the Music by the Doobie Brothers. I’ve been trying to play it for a long time but I can never seem to learn anything unless Marty is teaching me lol. Good job, keep it up man.

[@haydenlusk]

Lets go, I've been waiting for this one

[@nicolasmaurin182]

Great rhythm guitar 🎉

[@rexmonarch2]

Went to RHCP concerts in the early 80's in small clubs in downtown LA -- it was obvious they were going to be nation-wide. Their sound from the git go was way bigger than the small clubs.

[@andresalonsoleonayala3357]

Hello Marty, please do the tutorial of the zephyr song

[@rosepierre8378]

Merci marty, tu es le meilleur 🤘

[@dcsmooth]

At 3:58 it sounds similar to the opening riff of Soul to Squeeze for a second.

[@jinseng1232]

thank you marty

[@splashesin8]

Thank you! 😊

[@4wardfr3ak23]

Martyyy you are simply perfect, but can you please make a lesson of Babylon Feeling by Everlast and Carlos Santana? Cuz Carlos did some crazy things there!

i got a fender ad before this video which said tired of watching random videos on the internet to learn guitar, that made my day

[@jimic9511]

Marty, have you heard the new nirvana song made by ai? Called 'drowned in the sun' I can't find any guitar tutorials for it anywhere, you should make one 👍

[@ryanheldman9527]

Thank You soooooo much

[@arielelaine615]

Hey Marty!! Do you ever do more less known songs? I have a Spanish song that there are no chords for.. but the song is beautiful!

[@goranbutkovic9380]

Hi Marty! Can you maybe try to make a tutorial on the song: Rapstar by Polo G. It has a simple beat and is playled by a ukulele but can you play it on a guitar? Nice video tho. 😀

[@JoeyPaone]

Yo marty idk if you respond to old videos but what effect pedal are you using for this?

[@lmaoyoumadbro.5098]

alright some rhcp, can you do more stevie ray vaughn?

Wow I was just learning this off of your old channel a few days ago

More Chili Peppers!

[@owenbotts]

Please do Real Love by The Beatles it is one of my favorites but no one has done a tutorial!

[@casualartist4202]

missing the little bends in the verse section. yeah, they’re trivial in terms of playing and sound, but it feels a little off without them and they just add some nice flair and bounce to the riff

The shwartzanaga coming in hot

Do funky monks next please!!!!

[@asfandyarimran]

Plz do goodbye angels

[@dovydas2278]

You know you're right by Nirvana plsss marty😭🙏🙏

[@Lawless9845]

You should do “Hallowed be thy name” by “maiden,” it’s such an amazing song.

[@FinkerMcBinker]

I was just listening to the song when I got the notification

[@dlmc2451]

I have a fender player series Stratocaster and the hum is really loud from my amp. What is my best solution? I use a Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed amp. Any help would be much appreciated🙏

[@Johnnyhumbkr]

Pretty common problem D L. You could try a stacked humbucking set in your Strat, but on a Strat, using the front and middle pick-ups are already a humbucking pickup setting. You could try a noise gate stomp box, but that usually cuts out some dynamics of your playing. Maybe your noise problem is with your amplifier, but it sounds like a quality product if it’s made by Fender. You could ask someone at a guitar store to help you,because it’s next to impossible to troubleshoot the problem in the KZbin comment section! Whatever the case don’t stop playing just because of a minor hiccup! Good luck!

[@dlmc2451]

@@Johnnyhumbkr thank you! It appeared the amp just needed to be broken in as it was quite new. There’s still some hum there but I guess that’s normal considering it’s a strat.. thanks again for the help🙏

[@MurphyKargesBass]

YES!

[@tururu3049]

sounds great good job :)

[@blindhtownkilla]

In the actual recording, can anyone tell what John’s actually doing at the very end at the Black Sabbath sweetleafy part? I can hear some embellishments and maybe bends, then at the very end when he’s continually strumming that last chord it sounds like the guitar is doubled by another playing an alternate version? Would like to know what others think

[@simonhughes7448]

Yea your right, guitar 1 is screaming away up on the hi strings of fret 17 & 20, the Sabbath bit you mean is a low A, partial D,D flat,C jam, kind of slides down the last three chords, if that makes sense. As you say also a few trills on D string 5-7 and bends on the low G

the one dislike is people like simply guitar better than marty 🤘🏼
