Why do so many play this riff wrong #5 | John Frusciante

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Frusciante is one of the most influential guitarist in the last 30 years. An indisputable genius and probably the greatest redemption story in all of music. The depths he pulled himself out of is beyond me. The ultimate inspiration for me.

[@ohwellwhateverr]

"probably the greatest redemption story in all of music" Definitely true. It's a crying shame that no decent documentary has been made about his life and work, and I want to be that person who makes it. He needs far more recognition than he gets.

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

@@ohwellwhateverr I'd kill for a well made Frusciante documentary. I'm sure all his cult following would love it as well. I've heard so many people say John is the reason that they ever picked up a guitar...and I'm one of them as well.

[@tjnugent62]

He is left field from guitar hero, but as a functioning member of RHCP he is one of the most unique players and writers. He has incredible intuition and his sensibility may come off as loose and unfocused, but he sneaks in all sorts of things you have never seen. He is so good, he doesn't even care about being known or popular... He just is...

He learned guitar in a different way than most the more you study him. His parents bought him a chord book and he literally memorized it....the man is truly a walking dictionary of chord knowledge with a heavy emphasis on triads. Watch his live jams once...he can transition so easily out of major based chord progressions to minor and back ....and it always sounds natural.

I was backpacking around Europe when I first heard 4 guys with acoustic guitars in Madrid playing Otherside for a crowd of 100 or so people. I fell in love. I've been teaching myself guitar for 9 years and even started playing gigs with people. John Frusciante changed my life for the better. I will never be completely content with my skills but I wouldn't have it any other way. It's amazing how something as simple as a melody can inspire you to pick up an instrument turn your boring life into one full of chasing riffs, calloused fingers, sweating all over your pedal board, and always pushing yourself to new limits. Thank you John.

[@benyoung4305]

Still blows my mind that John was 19 when he composed this progression. It's a perfect accompaniment to Anthony's lyrics.

[@leonik3080]

The guitar in this song is like a beautiful painting. Intricately woven embellishments and such an iconic intro. It reminds me so much about how Hendrix used to play like the guitar is an extention of his body and same with john fruscinate. Amazing how someone can channel so much emotions through only 6 strings

[@PrecursorLegend]

It may seem silly, but I’ve been studying and learning this song for over 2 years since I first started playing guitar. I’ve found that it’s a great way for me to gauge my overall progress because while the basic structure and chords aren’t “hard”, getting all the nuances perfect is incredibly difficult. Obviously I play and learn plenty of other things too, but I continue to keep this at the top of my repertoire. Also, it’s one of my favorite songs and a main reason I picked up this instrument in the first place.

I've tried to learn the guitar twice...the first time, every time I picked up my guitar I expected absolute perfection, I expected every note to sound clean and perfect and I struggled because that's ultimately an over the top expectation. So I gave up, I put the guitar away and never played again. I tried to sell the guitar and no one bought it so it sat in my attic... I picked up my guitar about a year and a half ago and I've been learning ever since, there's highs and lows but this time I stick with it, I'm much better and the only thing I changed this time was just to remind myself to have fun. Guitar isn't about perfection and I have learnt that now...now everytime I pick up the guitar I'm no longer frustrated...I'm excited, happy and grateful :) Rock on my dudes and keep pushing guitar as a journey not just a destination 👍

This song is literally why I picked up the guitar. I am surprised you skipped the intro, which is the best part. Regarding the intro: In the recording, the high notes on the B string are overdubbed.

He didn’t disappoint… I love playing Frusciante licks at home just chilling in the studio. I’m inspired by JF more than just about any other guitarist in the world

[@jonathanlovelace8833]

He's the last of a dying breed hope I get to see him rejoin someday I was learning this and tears in heaven at the same time when I was a kid and the intro made me so mad I quit for a while in the intro there is also an overdub of a ringing string took me years to figure that out u can play all you want like John but you're not john I hope he rejoins soon and saves the world from rocks death that way the foo fighters can retire

[@drywallerbuddy]

He can literally never rejoin the band.

Christopher Kirk this aged badly

[@b-retrogamer2925]

@@drywallerbuddy ha, how wrong you were.

[@jmic3016]

That one video where John very slowly plays through the parts of under the bridge is what made me play the guitar. I needed to be able to create that sound for myself.

[@BanthamLegend]

You need to collab with Dave Simpson 🎸

[@Acidwave88brah]

Really great video, I watched John showing how to play this but could never get the rhythm right. Thanks man you’ve made my day

[@CasuallyJapan]

I totally agree with what you said. One time I played Can’t stop to my friend and he said it looked easy, because you never move the hand during the riff, but he was never aware of all the muting that was going on.

This was one of the first songs I learned when I first approached the electric guitar. Damn it is a sweet tune

I’ve seriously skipped watching every guitar video of this song until now. your teaching style is superb! By the way, if you’re ever in L.A. I’ll take you to that bridge!

[@ΜαριοςΑθανασοπουλος-γ4ω]

So many play it wrong for two reasons: 1) Are too lazy to study it in detail 2) It's not an easy riff, if you want to include the embelishments...

[@ΜαριοςΑθανασοπουλος-γ4ω]

@UCmEJr1-ZKASGTQO1zGPMvSg I believe that both intro and verse are challenging, at least for an intermediate player...

[@hitmanhatton]

Yes there are definitely parts in this song that people struggle with for it was the intro and I needed to do it with a capo. It still sounds absolutely fine like that but it's not correct. If I'm playing this song on an acoustic guitar I still need to do it that way. The messed up part is I'm quite good with chords and have always been fast at changing between them. But that part sometimes gives me trouble

[@RyusukePrudence]

@@hitmanhatton i don't think you always have to pinch on the D chord. I know John doesn't. This is what I struggle with the most

[@lucasvarela9632]

Hardest part is the hammer on on the intro if u can hear it

[@northlanedarko771]

This is a hard song . . I can play songs that sound harder . But in true John form he has a way of making his hardest riffs sound learnable . I struggled with intro but the chords and then hammers in Between . Grrr

[@debrutedrop]

Ill second what paul said. When i first learned this song, i struggled at first, but once i got the hang of it it took my playing to a whole other level!
