[@JulioLeonFandinho]

the coda part in Sir Psycho Sexy

[@AndyDion]

Love all these riffs! Frusciante is so great at playing just the right parts that blend with Flea, Chad Smith and Kedis. He always serves the song! Another killer riff is “Suck My KISS”

[@montraix]

Guitar Pilgrim Can’t Stop is THE best riff, and I truly appreciate that someone else realizes how great “I Could Have Lied” is, I was just telling my son yesterday, I believe that is Fruciante’s best studio recorded guitar solo, though “Torture Me” is more explosive!

[@GuitarPilgrim]

I agree Rob, the riff in 'I could have lied'' has such a beautiful dark atmosphere, it had to include it!

[@TomEGuitar]

Guitar Pilgrim. it´s everytime a great pleasure to watch your amazing guitar playing. Frusciante and you are great Guitarists. My personal favourite Song is "Under the Bridge" and this since from the start in 1991. You definitely can hear and feel the influence of Jimi. "Can´t Stop" is great Rock´n Roll too. The Hardest thing (for me) is to play "Snow". Thank you very much for your inspiring Videos

[@dogboy0912]

John Frusciante really makes me appreciate putting music ahead of showcasing one's technical ability. Some riffs are easy, some can be quite difficult, but it's always just what sounds good.

Im glad I could have lied got some love. That song is amazing.

[@prowrestlingcountdown208]

One of my favorites as well! I spent hours trying to get it down as one of the first songs I tried to learn ever. Little too advanced for me.

[@RC32Smiths01]

Absolutely excited to know that Frusciante is coming back to the RHCP! A true iconic band for sure!

live at slane !

[@marcomancini7544]

It is not underrated. we love it. everyone love it.

[@phobowl]

Hell yes. So melodic

[@jaredrace4599]

Yeah gotta be my favorite song for sure

[@PPMProductions]

Man Frusciante's playing is just so effortless.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

the fact that he's able to play that 'snow' riff continuously and sing at the same time is pretty mind blowing! that's a hard riff to play

[@PPMProductions]

​@@GuitarPilgrim Massively, as you say playing it once is ok, but playing it for that long and singing along. Not ok!

[@gregcross6560]

@@GuitarPilgrim I've been trying to play it cleanly and up to speed for years...very difficult riff!

[@Dimebageus]

"Oh yeah! That looks simple." Words i said before throwing my guitar out the window...

[@clamzzee7994]

its not effortless, he put alot of effort into it so he could get the sound he wanted. there is so much effort in it, you can make good riff out of nowhere but to make it rly goos you need to play it again and again

[@theKid87]

The end of Sir Psycho Sexy is one of my favorite guitar parts of all time. That has to be on there my man!

[@alwallace1984]

It's not a riff per se, but I love that part, too!

[@MvsG18]

Sir Psycho Sexy Woodstock 99' end riff, so incredible, also you have to ask solo in that one, had fun there lmao.

[@zbraDEVOzbra]

The topic, the playing, the riffs, 10/10 brah

[@richardmangan6018]

One of the greatest modern day guitarists in my opinion, and his backing vox/ harmonies are like sweet nectar. His solo work is so good too

Slow cheetah for sure. The guitar at the beginning reminds me of a perfect dance of two people

[@anantagurung6590]

John frusciante is an awesome guitarist just amazing. Loved his playing. His role in rhcp wow made so many popular songs

[@denkabernedo5285]

FUNKY MONKS IS JUST SOO AHHH! so funky and fresh and rhytmic!!

[@HowlingMad86]

So true Love you for that.

[@spikejefferygames]

Ahhhhhhhh you touch my soul. Thank you :) I grew up with the Chilli Peppers. I was 13 years old when Under the Bridge came out before we had the internet in Adelaide, Australia. I had Blood Sugar Sex Magic on CD (yes in the dinosaur age hahaha) I learned how to play it on my classical guitar painstakingly by ear. Wow 28 years later what a gorgeous surprise to hear you do Frusciante's elegant playing some sweet justice. Thank you :) We are sooo spoiled now with tabs at our fingertips and KZbin tutorials. Glad I learned the hard way since I was 8 years old though, wouldn't trade my hard earned years of practice.

[@deandannoun8100]

With all due respect to all the other guitarists that I haven’t heard yet , I’m 54 years old , and John frusiante is the best guitarist I’ve ever heard

[@natec913]

What a wonderful band. I have enjoyed their evolution over the past three decades. Biggest RHCP fans here. They put on an amazing show and their albums are incredible. Good video. There are so many JF riffs that I love, but these are certainly great. What a talent!

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Man you play Frusciante so we good... can't stop and funkymonks were filthy. You have the perfect attack for his music. Great video, hearing that John was coming back was really amazing..I literally put on the Peppers and started crying and dancing at the same time. So excited to hear their new album.

[@guilhacerda]

Frusciante, a Hendrix child like us. Hehehe. Amazing video. 👊🏻

[@mikekirby4004]

You,yourself,are awesome being able to play all,guitarists songs.

[@jkoleee7107]

Wow, I am mesmerised by the tone of that acoustic on "I could've lied' It sounds so balanced and is identical to recording Great playing and video! Edit:spelling

[@austinstaab1205]

Frusciante's "funkified" version of Sweet Leaf at the end of Give It Away is killer

[@bogdanbublikov9780]

I like the way GP shares with his emotions and thoughts. It makes your videos really mental.

So glad you put Readymade on the list! Definitely one of their most underrated tracks, not just on Stadium Arcadian but in their entire discography. The solo is also just mind blowing

[@victorrhcp11]

I loved the description of number 3, I knew it would be that song! And then, when you annouces number 1 with "and in number one we have song with one of the most bad ass rock guitar riffs..." I celebrated a lot, cause I knew it only could be my favority song of all time. Thank you for this.

[@Snus83]

Ha-ha, as soon as you mentioned a capo on the 2nd fret, I immediately guessed the riff. Personally, I learned it with a capo, and then without it.

[@GuitarPilgrim]

Me too!

[@weeshbag0507]

Same here. Back when I could only use 3 fingers cuz my pinky was so weak

[@db.5811]

Funny this video came up for me, I tried learning under the bridge yesterday and ill admit it got frustrating rather quickly. Finally threw on the capo in hopes of just getting correct notes and some timing but still didn’t make much progress.

[@NOTmel272]

I just play it in C... could never get it to sound clean playing it the right way. Goals

[@alexn8626]

Otherside is imo the most underrated RHCP song. So unbelievably beautiful, especially the end

[@leonwns610]

Otherside isn't underrated lol 😂 Wet Sand or Make you feel better are underrated af

My personal favorite is actually the Hendrix inspired part of Under the Bridge that didn't make it into the video ^^ Great video though, these are all amazing riffs!

[@Bobblybook]

Excellent playing! You really nailed the subtleties of the timing and aggressiveness of the playing that I sometimes see lacking when people play these riffs. It gives the notes such a great percussive component.

[@superflea72]

great selection of riffs you picked there. my first thought as the video rolled was "oh, I bet he doesn't do Funky Monks...", and there it was - straight out of the gate! you played most of my favourite riffs by him (though of course there are so many more) that I also love to play. nice work man! (edit) oh, my favourite (to play) is probably Funky Monks, but Mellowship Slinky, Breaking The Girl, I Could Die For You, Apache Rose Peacock, My Lovely Man, BSSM...all top shelf!

[@topografer]

At some point in my guitar life, I decided that I 1.Can't stop playing this till I get it right. And it took my left-hand muting to a whole new level. I tell you the notes are the same but picking all strings rather than picking one makes a world of difference. And this is why guitar is a great instrument because of dynamics

[@1coreywest]

U played alllll of this perfect. Including can’t stop with the thumb and mannn what a true tribute. I can tell he bleeds through you. Dave bleeds through me like this

His free form concert openings are some of his best work. I think Can't Stop and Under The Bridge are his signatures. Lol, I wrote this way before you got to 1&2, I know my Chili Peppers! Snow is pretty up there too. I like his hard driving stuff. John brings notes to life! You need to watch LFDH and Jools Holland.

[@TheDALLAS0808]

All his riffs are phenomenal so at this point you’re just choosing 10 of them, but definitely a solid list.
