The Best Solos of John Frusciante (RHCP)

[@elpibedevele]

Californication intro in Slane Castle is the definition of "Frugasm".

[@fergushill5673]

I watched that solo so many times I ended learning it

[@GingerKC]

Frugasm!!! Genius!!! EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!!! Holy crap I freaking love me some RHCP 's. I hope I see them live again and soon. Been a fan since 1984 and it's just grown bigger!!

[@jackyboi8832]

That one is probably the best moment at slane

[@lindseyatchley1453]

Thanks for making that clear that these people risk their lives.

[@rickdaniels1000]

I think honestly the whole slane castle show is a frugasm. It’s one of his best shows ever up there with the Alcatraz, and Poland in 2006.

[@dxnielastbury8767]

This is the reason I love Frusciante, you can hear the influences of Hendrix and B B king etc in the background of everything he plays yet he takes what they created, makes it his own style and modernised it using tones, effects and newer techniques, along with his superhuman connection with the bass and drums to always be able to create melodies and countermelodies that suit the rhythm and harmony of the song, incredible

[@thiagobarao8601]

No B B king at all 🤦🏻

[@dxnielastbury8767]

@@thiagobarao8601 I mean he said in an interview that he would attempt to style his songs like bb king along with Hendrix

[@thiagobarao8601]

@@dxnielastbury8767 that’s ok, but a person could not identify a bb king influence on his playing in my opinion

[@dcarts5616]

I only hear the Lindsey Buckingham influences honestly.

[@StuffAndMemes]

Stop

[@wiggl3s_821]

Theres a man that loves what he does and loves music. He puts his absolute heart and soul into it and most of the time you're not even sure if he's aware there are thousands watching him, he and the guitar become one.

[@mattmorris2867]

The cheese is strong with this one.

[@sports.co00]

Men. They love what they’re doing.

[@vikasbahuguna7590]

In my opinion all these solos are great but Solo which starts at 4:02 is just amazing along with Flea playing amazing Bass. Both are great together !!

[@jackyboi8832]

Yes this one is amazing

[@sepenta4434]

I love this solo rhcp are in my opinion one of the best ever…. 😍😍😍

[@fitonation]

Hello brother...Are you Garwhali too? 😍

[@fubar101AB]

TRUE...

[@topixyt.5308]

I think he is playing on a different level and everybody knows that and the band is giving him these extra free space he needs ...respect to all the others band members who just care about getting there sound better and better ...

[@jevinedric5390]

I could listen to the live solo of Don't Forget Me in La Cigale forever

[@leilaniboudway7469]

Specially the start solo

[@robinc6288]

People that went to Slane Castle were some lucky bastards. They got such a good show.

[@bean5618]

If I could go back to any one moment in time. It would be that concert right there

[@jetsbcuzyolo90]

2:30 scar tissue solo at slane castle, was the absolutely beautiful man. emotional, sounds like and Angel screaming. hearing it on a phone or computer does it no justice whatsoever. plug it in some speakers and listen, you'll be glad you did.

[@davidrojas6457]

Dat Californication Slane Castle intro tho, ugh, I could play that on repeat forever.

[@kommi7658]

easily my favorite of all of them.

[@juiicex2]

Saaaaaaame

[@markbass354]

I swear I hear Jimi Hendrix is John's playing , this guy didn't get the recognition he deserved. Even though Flea is awesome on bass , John is the best guitar player since Hendrix.

[@trinityforcebfh8887]

John was a huge henrix fan, he always tried to copy him and become better

[@markbass354]

I dont think any one guitar player is better than the other , everyone has their own style. Stevie Ray Vaughn has his own style.

[@Dagger_323]

Mark Beretta best guitar player since Hendrix? Alright c'mon, let's not be ridiculous...

[@sulwekolejbik3794]

Mark B Heard about Paul Gilbert?

[@Dagger_323]

Sulwek Olejbik apparently not, probably never heard of Guthrie Govan either...

[@Geoff_24]

That second lick comes in on Don't Forget Me is so damn epic. John makes his guitar absolutely scream like nobody else I've heard.

[@LLB61959]

Get the RHCP live at Slane Castle....John was on fire......second solo in the Zephyr Song was beautiful

[@mateuss.ribeirodeoliveira3377]

honestly, THE BEST LIVE BAND. Don't have another better.. WTF, IS INCREDIBLE. Respect.. !

[@craw_daddy97]

True, but Anthony can be a bit off sometimes. Still my favorite though

[@jessesarmiento1433]

@@craw_daddy97 I saw them during the californication tour with the foo fighters opening and you can tell the chilli peppers where exhausted, especially Kiedies. Foo fighters blew them away that night

[@nikosmetallica4ever]

2:04 that solo killed him

Hahahahahahahahaha didn't realize that guy fainting hahaha

Just saw that. Nice 👍.

[@ihold0266]

John: *produces an absolutely amazing solo* Josh at 0:20 : "haha guitar go weeee"

[@ColombusLeBus]

Josh doing bullshit in the back and John giving one of the best solos of Dani California. Im dead haha

[@K-daz]

I'm not the only one that noticed X)

[@aprilchoyce7588]

Flow LeBus best comment in this thread 😂😂

[@mofopics6034]

Its called respect

[@DimmuBurnir]

welcome back, mr. hendrix. amazing guitarist

[@goininside]

For me: Dani California ( Live Earth ) Don't Forget Me ( Reading 2007, solo and outro) Scar Tissue ( Chorzow) Wet Sand (fuji) Californication intro (slane) Californication solo ( Chile 2002) Parallel Universe (Rock AM Ring 04) great video, grettings

[@bean5618]

John says his ideas come from above. His talent is unworldly. You can just feel that he is tuning into another dimension when he plays especially when you see him live. I’m sure Jimi Hendrix’s soul is alive in this man. God bless Frusciante!!

[@kathylupton293]

I'm so in love with John Frusciante. Listening to him play takes me away into a dream.

[@brunomarques6422]

eu escuto rock a uns 15 anos, e os únicos guitarristas que me passam essa sensação inexplicável é o John e o Gilmour, na minha opinião são os melhores da história.

[@brunooliveira_1990]

Wet Sand é surreal! Da onde esse cara tirou isso.. Gênio demais.❤

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Under rated guitarist in the grand scheme of things.

[@lucasalcantara6044]

The man is back!!

[@MakimasGoodBoy]

Omg the harmonies between John and Flea on the intro 😍 And then at 5:18 I hear one of my favorite Maiden toons: Paschendale 🤤

[@almirpradoneto7894]

john frusciant is a expetacullar psychrock jam, have a great natural talent and one of the best on second voice a great muscian and good poetry

[@mattmorris2867]

Wtf did you just mumble!! Didn’t even get musician right.

[@UnremarkableMarx]

The slane interlude of by the way to scar tissue is the most iconic piece of music in history

[@ignacioarias8966]

frusciante es el unico que con un solo de guitarra llega a mi corazon y mi alma!

[@patoavila4829]

Escuchando no todos los solos, no se podria armar ni uno como la gente ,es muy malo soleando yo diría horrible pero es lo q la banda necesita ,ni mas ni menos ,.seria estupido que en rhcp tocara por ejemplo guthrie govan o Frank gambale 2 de los mas grandes guitarristas del planeta ,

[@alexandraboot-vanderkoppel4669]

Heel mooi gezegd. Hij is de "Jezus" onder de muzikanten. Geweldige persoonlijkheid 💙

[@mrlegkick91]

why does everyone think loudest and fastest = best??

[@mitchkincaid6680]

It's what sounds the best and so far all if Johns work sounds amazing

[@digoprozin]

mrlegkick666 It's a loud and fast FRUSCIANTE playing, different from many others guitar players that don't show any emotion while gigging.

[@user-po5bi6jb9g]

My favourite solo is Easily, I'd call it more of a guitar break that a solo.

[@Ashley-xl6lz]

Everyone doesn't, but it sounds good when frusciante does it.

[@temuribabilodze2004]

Just listen to californication solo for example please. Thank you.

[@codymain2651]

Josh was standing there like, *yes father show me more*

[@krazykchaos6088]

How the hell did it take KZbin take this so long for me to come across this?? Not the biggest fan of RHCP but definitely a fan of them with John. The groups best guitarist they ever had

[@alexandraboot-vanderkoppel4669]

John is fenomenaal. Hij is een groot idool van mij. Heb zijn gezicht laten tatoeëren op mijn arm en 2 keer zijn naam ❤. Hij heeft zoveel klasse en is uniek in zijn soort zonder sterallures. Zo bescheiden en zo'n grote muzikant met een geweldige stem. Tevens de mooiste man van de wereld. 💙

[@joseflores-mz2rl]

A living legend! I didn’t know he was in The Mars Volta.

[@davideirth]

Good effort dude, scar tissue intro was cool.

[@wengibbs3000]

JF's shirt.....I almost would bet $ it's been within reaching distance and I also felt the right sleeve cuff was damp, like fluids of tunicks flowing from his body into his 🎸.
