TOP 10 JOHN FRUSCIANTE ACOUSTIC RIFFS (with TAB)

[@nikolagugoski]

Enya Music sent me this NOVA GO acoustic guitar to try it out. It's a very good build for the price and comfortable to play. It's made of carbon fiber and it's pretty loud somehow, given the smaller size. Check the links in the description if you want to learn more

[@denizhankaraca8862]

Hi Nikola. We all know you are an outstanding player. However, even you couldn't make that guitar sound beautiful. It sounds awful even compared to an entry level wooden acoustic guitar.

[@nikolagugoski]

@@denizhankaraca8862 Thanks for watching Denizhan and for the honest feedback. This is a small size guitar made of carbon fiber. I don't think it can sound beautiful. If you ask me, for this price it serves it's purpose pretty well. The build is very good, the tuners are solid and it stays in tune. The neck is comfortable and easy to play. Just an honest opinion

[@xavierbroussard8644]

Really wanted to check out this guitar! Didnt even realize you were using it until I finished learning the first riff

[@rayo6856]

Sounds really interesting

[@kswannie]

Great playing! Frusciante's acoustic playing is a little overlooked compared to his electric riffage. Nikola does a great job showcasing just how inventive it is!

[@nikolagugoski]

Thanks man! I like that Fall out riff since I started playing 😁

[@ricobonifacio1095]

I love the music in I could have lied. The solo in it is the most soulful solo I ever heard.

[@parkermarchant925]

Sounds great! His songs from just a t-shirt make me think of his lost era. :( We’re so lucky to still have him.

[@danielmunoz456]

9 times out of 10 people don't make it out of those situations alive. I consider all the music he has made since to be a gift.

[@Aidan.w]

Really cool that you played some stuff from his first 3 solo albums. Also Venice Queen is a masterpiece.

[@liamjenkins244]

Venice Queen is for sure one of the best things they've ever done as a band. So underrated.

[@Kumfused]

Man, I've been following you for years now. I totally love every single one of your Frusciante videos; they've been really helpful and I'm really grateful for all of these! Thank you so much!! Hope you're doing good^^

[@MrJCMG]

0:52 - this sounds like a precursor to Scar Tissue in terms of the structure with the high and low strings alternating and very little inbetween being played.

[@HomerJFong182]

I felt compelled to comment. Your videos, in particular - your John frusciante videos, are incredible. Your attention to detail is impeccable. It feels amazing as a JF fan to hear some of his best and also some of his more obscure works presented in such a concise manner. The tablature is much appreciated, I understand that it must take much time, patience and dedication to do this. Just want to say thanks! (from a huge JF fan)

[@isaacrichmond7505]

Fucking great man!! I wish more people appreciated his solo work as much as you clearly do. Also, it's not a riff I guess, but the chords to The Slaughter are wild. So beautiful. Also, I'm glad you played that part of Fall Out, one of my faves for sure! There are some great live videos of him playing that one.

[@diegohelfgott5511]

Venice Queen is probably the most underrated song of the rhcp and I pray to god for them to play that song live for the second time in their history

[@netyn]

I know i’m late but I wonder why you said “for the second time in their history”?

[@netyn]

they played it pretty consistently during the by the way tour (2002-2003) with 74 performances in total according to RHCP Live Archive

[@eliasquijanobeltran8580]

I love your work man, I was searching for riffs from smile from the streets you hold, thank you very much

[@OmnipotentO]

Ooooh these are all great! Thanks Hey I just bought one of these guitars like a month ago to throw in my car and just sort of have around. Fairly cheap and small enough to carry but sounds awesome for the money

[@nikolagugoski]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that's the idea. It's called Nova 'go' because is small and you can take it anywhere. Sounds great for the price.

[@scottyshot]

0:59 that fast 3 notes is so hard

[@marcusmatamua4213]

Glad to see you’re still active man!!! Because of you I’ve been learning chilis songs !

[@leroyjenkins4371]

Wow! This video came at a perfect time! I was just trying to get back into.acoustic guitar and couldnt remenber how to play Untitled 2 and Slow Cheetah. So cool! Thanks for all you do! These riffs all sound so amazing whether they are easy intermediate or hard. The genius of Frusciante.

[@gonzalocordovaortega5838]

Amazing dude, part 2 please :)

[@dumbage]

has so much classic frusciante i love it

[@juannnk1]

You are the best Nikola, I don't miss any of your videos hahaha, beautiful guitar btw

[@vitorgracia5113]

Cara vc é foda demais, na moral, em pensar que um dia eu estava capinando tabs no yahoo e hoje vem esse rapaz ai com toda produção. CHAMA NO ROQUE CAMPEÃO CHAMA NO ROQUE

[@M0nzi3]

I could listen to this all day on repeat. :)). Give me a full acoustic cover album 😂

[@Colanito]

This put a smile on my face!! Thank you

[@-TheDude-]

i wouldnt change a thing. i dont see people mention his non chili peppers work that often if anyones ever in a music rut give some of it a listen, its definitely different and theres some gems scattered about

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

I could have lied is one of my favorite peppers songs. It would be so cool to see them do that live.

[@nathanielbrewster7238]

Agreed that's one of the most meaningful songs to ms

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

@@nathanielbrewster7238 yeah the guitar melody and solo are really great and it is one of the peppers songs that sounds the most like it's from a John solo album.

[@RideFree317]

I was lucky enough to hear them play that last weekend at their concert here in New Zealand. Was the first time I saw them live . an amazing experience

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

@@RideFree317 wow that's awesome to hear I'm seeing them soon and I didn't think there was a chance it would be in the set list so thanks for giving me hope mate.

[@liamjenkins244]

@@cosmiccomedy7394 it sounds like solo john because he's playing electric guitar straight to desk without an amp. on his early solo works he's usually going straight into his cassette recorder.

[@Outrem_silva]

Great video!

[@WillStrottmusic]

Hey man... great job!!! Was perfect

[@yragnellaable]

I had the Usually just a t shirt album, this brings back a lot of memories....

[@fastcisco2086]

Yes yes yes ! Finally one from Smile from the Streets You Hold

[@terencebad7009]

Great stuff. Hadn’t heard For Air before, now I’m trying to learn it. It’s tough to make sound as good as you do

[@kilianbernardeau6595]

Thank you for featuring Tangelo on this one !

[@psyzen7630]

Another great job man! Thx (Bring more JF riffs 🤩)

[@TheOfficialCaseMade]

Anne is one of my favorite JF songs, and one of his standout acoustic bits... Even if the solo is electric.

[@rinjo1848]

Very cool. I love to play all the same ones as I never ventured into electric yet. So much in his solo work too

[@joeycee3509]

Found your channel today!!! Thanks.. this great !!

[@guilhermerosa955]

Beautifully performed!

[@thomedwards8186]

Love your vids, especially the tutorials on how to learn songs. Learned Scar TIssue thanks to you. I think my favourite JF acoustic tune is Cabron.

[@vatacale]

Love all these acoustic riffs and love the looks of that matte Nova Go guitar 🙂 Thank you, Nikola! PS: take a look at the Auckland Californication intro which is so unbelievable. I've tagged you on a video with it, hopefully you got the notification. All the best!

[@kramer1476]

Really cool stuff

[@nickolasvela6418]

Good video. In my opinion, under the bridge is is so iconic bc of the guitar riff and would have loved to see it here

[@nikolagugoski]

Thank you! Under the bridge is not an acoustic riff though

[@javiramirez2271]

Great playing and nice selection Nikola! It'll be great to hear you playing Anne by John

[@Pedro_dido]

Awesome video ! John is such a awesome guitarist you could do a part 2 video including the first season!

[@Bye_Good]

So soo good!!

[@filipbukrshliev7798]

That is a nice guitar, Batulec.

[@RodrigoSilva-zm3ri]

Parabéns nikola

[@davidacosta3874]

Tangelo is a fun song to learn how to play eighth notes with quarter/eighth triplet feel.

[@cormacokane9466]

Just bought a new acoustic, couldn’t be better timed

[@setharnold999]

Awesome thank you

[@audiofunkdialect]

Being a big fan of the chili peppers, I looked into his work which is absolutely amazing.

[@marcell9437]

glad you included some niandra stuff!!!

[@francogallipoli]

Im still learning and most of them are way too dificult for me, but thank you so much, after hearing all of these riff I want to practice double the hours with my guitar

[@nikolagugoski]

That's awesome! Really glad this video motivated you 😁

[@rikrademaker7498]

Great stuff! Thanks for all your video's, it's just the best channel. Maybe someday a part 2 with: How high, Leave all the days behind, Untitled #7, Feminity, Ramparts, Song for Toni, Low birds/Lou Bergs, Time is nothing, Soul removal, With love and Outside space.

[@val0gh]

Man you played untitled #10 so perfect! you should do Remaind too!

[@anglelooloo]

Amazing playing! Can you cover some songs of off Smiles from the Streets You Hold album ??

[@saeidhasanzadeh736]

could you do goodbye hooray by rhcp? i can’t find a tutorial on it anywhere

[@lowfatyogurt3706]

Hey I saw some rather unknown stuff on here that I love! Maybe in a future video you could include the riff at the end of Mascara from Niandra LaDes, same as the riff from Outside Space off of his rarest album, Estrus. It's a sweet little riff but the only song to include it is relatively unknown ):
