Sound Like John Frusciante | BY Busting The Bank

[@RabeaMassaad]

So glad to see you're all a little more satisfied with this attempt! We had great fun doing it, and the rig just sounded awesome! Apologies if we don't play your favourite songs note for note! As always they're worked out by ear before we shoot! Thank you all so much for watching and keep those requests coming! We will get round to ALL of them!

[@linksayajin2958]

I think you guys did pretty awesome, cuz Josh Klinghoffer has like 3 enormous pedalboards just to emulate Frusciante's sound and get his own... You 2 have preety nice ears to get the riffs right and stuff

[@linksayajin2958]

Anyway, could you guys do U2, Guthrie Govan or My Chemical Romance? I know they're completely different bands, but still pokey to find their sounds...

[@christywood9136]

could you plzzzz do sounds like slaves?

[@dualsportwannabe3708]

Rabea Massaad Absolutely nailed it guys. Now if we could just get a sounds like Tesseract or Karnivool 😉

Rabea Massaad sounds like Primus without busting the bank

[@ebbulk]

Props for Bea wearing the same shirt as in the original Sound Like John Frusciante video!

[@RabeaMassaad]

ebbulk it was completely unintentional but it also really pleased me too hahaha

[@Maxv02]

Rabea Massaad it also shows how much weight you've lost.Looking good bro!

[@GigglingDickhead]

Under the bridge is quite playable without a capo. I didnt even think to use a capo to play it tbh

[@Agar4Life]

My understanding is that he didn't play with capo. But would barre the first fret and play it.

[@InfoBytesMedia]

correct, no capo used, just a some dexterity.

[@JCBigCat]

GigglingDickhead yep: there's a video of JOHN FRUSCIANTE showing how to play under the bridge (with no capo). I'm pretty sure he nailed it quite right :)

[@programmedwrong3795]

Nicholas Yamamoto Never. John himself teaches how to play it on KZbin.

[@fezzes428]

Nicholas Yamamoto capo is for female lead singers

[@TiggyRainbow]

If you wanna truly sound like John Frusciante, then check out Dave Simpson

[@Alex-ms1tt]

Willmaatealrii I exactly! these guys sound nothing like John

[@m_r__r_o_b_o_t]

"nothing like" ... really?

[@Alex-ms1tt]

Im talking about the sound, cause no one sounds like him. I would say the closest they got was cant stop and not even that good lol and the ds2 doesnt sound close at all, they really didn't do much more than first video

[@mattyduncan4679]

Dave could play a tin can with piano wire strings and sound just like him. Dave is an amazing player for sure.

Jajajjaj what ? That would be awesome

[@kaicottrell1560]

Yea definitely they should do me as well I study for John all you need is a DS-2 Ibanez WH-10 v1 or v2 or v3 and a Chorus Pedal and you don't need a Marshall try the stagg 10 ga amp that does the job your never gonna sound 100% like never but I'll never stop working on it

[@lattelucks4924]

Dave uses mostly inexpensive equipment so that wouldn't make sense

[@montys8th]

Nailed it!! Nice work. I appreciate that you didn’t play everything note for note and learned this by ear. That’s music my friends. John Mayer himself said he doesn’t enjoy watching people play his songs exactly how he plays them. Use different string different parts of the fretboard different chord shapes. That’s music. Anyone complaining in contrary simply doesn’t get music. Well done lads 🙌

Mascis, Stephen Malkmus, Tom Verlaine, and Robert Fripp.

Wheesht, Annie Clark would be a good one.

[@kevinstafford3128]

Rabea is one of my favorite guitar players. Gosh he is SOOOO good and fun to watch.

[@F22Raptor723]

For Under the Bridge intro, the chord shapes are supposed to be D major in C shape, and F sharp major in E shape

[@mervolicious]

MUCH better job than the first one - really close sound and Bea improved a lot on his RHCP songs :) Very fun episode, thank you both!

[@simonthecucumberenjoyer1042]

Sound like lil wayne without busting the bank ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@HunterJs2]

Simsom Guppington You can't even come close. Bea would have to spend at least a decade doing grueling, violent practice religiously. He would have to fast and stay in a freezer for 6 days in hopes it would summon Satan himself to give him a soul offer moments before he succumbs. He would have to buy a guitar crafted in hellfire by a one-eyed wizard living at the peak of mount Everest. These are just the first steps, there are over 20,000 to go before reaching level 2 of 5.

[@DevunGames]

Simsom Guppington easy. Epiphone Les Paul Special II, Marshall 20 watt, Boss Overdrive and cut off 3 fingers on your left hand and 4 on your right. Only index and middle of your left and your thumb on the right. Who the fuck needs a pick when you are Lil Wayne.

This is much better, maybe try the ds2 on the second setting? Obviously Dave Simpson ( top guy) manages to get the Frusciante sound on many amps including a Marshall Jube so it's worth checking him out if you redo the on a budget version. Really great series of videos guys, well done!

Much better :) you forgot the chorus, the new boss ce-2w is pretty close to the ce1 he used. holy grail, dynacomp, moog/mxr phaser helps too ... the most important thing is really the ds2 and the ibanez wha, any strat/tele and any amp that you can set to that slight break up will do the trick.

[@BollocksUtwat]

He also apparently used a DOD FX65 for recording Blood Sugar Sex Magic. Those are cheap as fuck.

[@norwegiansniper9713]

Yann E. Free is just a les Paul through a marshall. Nothing special.

[@owenhu9465]

jeff beck would be so difficult, because most of his tone comes from his finger style and messing with the volume knob

[@satoriforsale]

@Balex Strand, I don't know about that, the lead tones in Free Me and Mouthful of Grass do seem to involve more than just plugging straight into a Marshall

[@squivm88]

I think this illustrates the difficulty in sounding like John F. His style of playing, his sound and his philosophy all seems to be about the space in between notes, the space in between sounds and tones. generally what's not being played seems more important to him and what makes him so incredible than what is being played. The relationship of what's not being played to what the rest of the band is playing and what the listener's imagination is filling in the blanks with is the key to him.

[@SasukeGPA]

Great video guys!!! I'm a frusciante fan myself and i have both ds2 and the micro amp, the latter has saved my life a couple times on stage ahaha Thanks for the good work!!! Note: not capo for under the bridge, he does the D in a C shape with the finger bar.

William Allison He uses a Vox for his cleans. For the distorted tones he uses a Fender 85 combo, which a solid state amp. Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien use a Vox AC30 for distorted tones, which sound sick!!!

[@TG-kc9ue]

To clarify, he doesn't get his distortion *from* the 85, he gets it from a Marshall Shredmaster, going into a clean 85 combo, but he only uses the two together, neither without the other

[@DaveKaplowitz]

I know I'm really late to the party, but I'm getting back into RHCP and especially trying to cop Frusciante licks so this video is awesome. Love the choice of songs and I think you guys did a good job capturing his sound and licks. My favorite line is about wishing for the white pick guard, and acknowledging that this is sounds like not looks like. Brilliant!

[@MnR9998]

Sound like Edward van Halen without busting the bank!

[@Liamo1232]

the problem is, 90% of frusciante's tone is from his hands. the total and utter emotion that man put into every single note is on another level. it's more than just pedals and amps.

[@RodrigoPiccoli]

Frusciante sounds comes from his hands 80% and the rest is the gear. His guitar tech said that. And watching both videos this makes sense. Even if you try busting the bank, doesn’t sound like him. Of course. With any strat you can get closer but that last step is just almost impossible. And both videos are missing the Chorus sound. He uses a lot. E the moog pedals too. But it was a good video and a good try!

[@pegglethon4553]

Then his tech is wrong, because most of the tone doesn't come from your hands if it's being run through an electronic/valve power device. He can sound check and fine tune John's gear all he wants, and he will always know more about his kit than any of us, but that's traditionalist exaggerated bullcrap just like "playing 'till your fingers bleed". If you can get the tone bare from just the amp and guitar, and maybe the pedalboard, then his tone isn't 80% his hands. It's the gear.

Another awesome vid and without commenting on how well it soulds like JF or not as I'm in no way qualified to do that.. :P One thing I can comment on is all the sounds like vids have the benefit of back and forth commentary, brainstorming about the gear etc and that is exactly what's missing from the David and Goliath vids. The best things about your crew and the amazing content you all provide for us are the personalities and fun around the gear and music. I forget in which one but Capt. Lee even says at one point how they don't want to do straight up how to or product evals but have to keep the fun and banter. The D&G vids need more of that so they are more like the rest.

Much better job than the last one . Great stuff! Few things to add though - he used Seymour Duncan SS1's in his strat, the Boss CE1 (Chorus) was his main modulation pedal, and yeah the wah would have been better if you had the Ibanez in stock. But anyways thank you for revisiting it!! Big JF fan.. Just wish I could afford a silver jubilee :D sounds great !

[@eoln_]

Also, The secret about Get on top is the Boss Ce-1 pre-amp. There are some vids that some guys use it like an overdrive, and John uses like this. The Original and the V2 Ibanez Wh10 have an Volume boost, that is converted in Overdrive with this pedal. also, he mentioned something about use this pedal in this song with the bass mode (bass frequency range).

Muse BY Busting The Bank

Frusciante used Seymour Duncan SSL-1's in his Strats, I played in a Chili's tribute band, our guitarist got Frusciante's tone with a Mexican Strat and the Duncan pickups (along with the Marshall amp and all the pedals)

[@eoln_]

John Frusciante uses the Turbo mode on the Ds-2. Full volume (Compressed by the Ce-1), Distortion at 3 o'clock and Full tone, With amp settings Full Bass, 1 o'clock mid and 11 o'clock treble

Rabea and Matt... the best ever.... this combination has never been bettered.

[@Goumig]

It's funny because from pictures it actually looks like he used that Xotic Wah instead of his usual Ibanez on his first show back

[@chaseparker9]

exactly what I thought hahahah

If you’re talking about the one in February 2020, that wasn’t his pedalboard; it was a pedalboard that was at the venue there for him to use

@@georgehale9471 I don’t disbelieve you, but how do you know?

[@georgehale9471]

@@caseynewton827 i read somewhere on a video of the performance that it was either dave navarro’s rig (he was using the same board) or it was just there for him to use at the venue, i can’t remember which for sure; but if you look closely and you know johns pedalboard from the mid 2000s you can see it’s not his just by looking at the pedals/layout. considering also that the wh10 along with the ds2 is the staple of his sound and has been since 1988, it’s unlikely he’d be without one if it was his board.

[@edgarmendonca]

[@jesse_cole]

turtlemusician Cool, thanks for listing guitarists you've heard of.

[@porschiste911]

Just rewatched both videos and honestly You didn't do THAT bad on sounds like without busting the bank. You came close on some and less on others, but so much of John's sound comes from his playing and the phrasing used. This try did really tick most of the sound like boxes though! Great job!

[@sjlacey65]

Great job guys, you took it all on board well and produced some tones and playing that are as close as is reasonable
