How John Frusciante Plays Guitar

FOR NOAH / POLYPHONIC / ANYONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO: I copied a big part of the intro from a video called "How Flea Plays Bass" by a channel called Polyphonic. Just like all the other footage and images you'll see here, i don't own anything of it. It's merely used for educational purposes. I don't see the difference between using footage created by a YouTuber and footage created by a videographer in the 90s. Both deserves credit. But since "How Flea Plays Bass" was a recently created video, it seems like more people reacted negatively to this. My intention was just to honor the artist in the video and share some knowledge.

He takes his fingers and presses them on the strings while simultaneously plucking the strings with a pick. There you go guys

i feel Frusciante is massively underrated. Not by his fans, but you never really see him in a top 10 guitarist of all time lists which he deserve's

John doesn't create solos... he creates soulos. <3

He didn't take a break from the band to recover from drug addiction, he couldn't handle the level of fame achieved after BSSM and quit the band struggling with depression and that led to his lowest point of addiction.

What I've always loved about Frusciante is the fact that he doesn't show-boat, like most guitarists do, and instead, he plays what is required for the moment (That's why Flea and John have such chemistry. Whenever Flea has the melody, Frusciante supports the music, and vice versa).

The Chili Peppers were always a decent band, but they became superstars with Frusciante. To me, he is the Chili Peppers signature sound, and with him, they produced their best albums. The Italian stallion can flat out play that “gee-tar” like a God.

I think Frusciante is his generations spiritual successor to Hendrix.

John Frusciante is like the Steve Jobs of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Although not a founding member, he joined the band early on, and put them on the map. Then when he rejoined years later (with his newly found minimalist approach), he took the band to unbelievable heights, and the rest is history!

When John plays he literally channels energy from him into the guitar snd it makes beautiful sounds

John is amazing. That solo on “Dani California” is his but is so Hendrix!!

This guy: Frusciante Captions: Four shanties, take it or leave it.

To be fair i hardly consider him a guitarist anymore. He's more of an all around artist. I think is solo work is severly underrated but that also makes it very special. John really means what he plays and writes.

John Fruciante is one of the finest guitar player ever....his contribution to guitar music is in similar level of Jimmy Page, Mark Knofler, Slash, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore in context of contribution to a song. His solo in Scar tissue is an achievement of humanity, as it is one of the finest musical expression of emotions in history...it is like the entire human consciousness has precipitated towards that moment of 28 seconds of perfection.

I love his solo albums. They are very little known from what I've seen and that makes them a sort of secret paradise to listen to

Person: Hey want something to drink? Lie Likes Music: Yes, I'll have John Fruscian Tea, thanks.

John is one of the top three best players in our time,no one plays like John,with so much emotion,I'm soooo happy that John is back in the band here for 2022,,This is how great musicians learn over time and every member brings the best of their trait,they are absolutely a phenomenal band and can't wait to hear what they bring out next,thanks for the vid

John is probably my favorite guitarplayer of all time. I've grown addicted to listening to their concerts, where he improvises alot of the songs and make them even better. His guitarplaying is just insane, and I love the sounds he turned the chili peppers over to.

actually.... kiedis is funky monks' riff "co-author". he played this riff by accident.
