    I honestly thought I would never be able to play this. And here we are, 5 years later, I was right
  • It's the fact he can sing backing vocals as well that makes him truly extraordinary
  • @mrCetus
    John Frusciante is definitely a genius musician. Not because his riffs are very hard to play, but because he turns conventional guitar playing inside out & upside down in such a uniquely melodic style. Have a very, very close listen to Blood, Sex, Sugar, Magic....... bloody epic!
  • @grigno97
    The hardest thing about this riff is definitely endurance
  • @pjaholgersson
    Definitely thought it was gonna be Neon until I heard “while singing backup vocals”
  • @rylanhudson9319
    The thing about this riff is that it makes you feel like your fingers are becoming creatures of their own and are doing the opposite of what your brain tells them to do
  • @ElkayLive
    Who else remembers thinking "i might learn snow today" and 15 minutes later thinking "actually no I won't! :D"
  • @xxzeroxx8417
    Alternate picking: James hetfield has left the chat
  • Rules to learn your favorite riffs: 1. Exercise your picking and fretting hand every single day. 2. Learn first your chords and scales. 3. Play every day. 4. Play every day. 5. Play everyday. 6. You guessed it... Remember good guitar players weren't born with a guitar in their hands. Mastery requires practice. Learn to love the journey of learning. Love you all, keep it up.
  • @craftcrate6602
    This guy's videos are just different in a unique way. His voice also is so soothing
  • @agungandy836
    The riff is easy to learn but very hard to master, especially the endurance
  • @vergium9529
    I do really love his high camera quality, his camera angles and his jacket
  • @maxhocks2006
    I thought this rift was amazing before I knew all John was doing, but now I know just how godly this was. That’s why josh had such big shoes to fill. John made technical challenging, complicated rifts like this into hugely popular songs. It takes a master to do this.
  • @joe-la-guit
    You’re a wonderful guitar teacher. I’ve been teaching for almost 20 years now and I’m inspired by your approach. Stay cool ;)
  • Paul: Click that like button, do it gently. Davie504: SLAPP like NOW or I will call the police!
  • @RC32Smiths01
    Just wanna take this comment to appreciate the work you do here In allowing us the explore deeper and more complex music, whether that'd be a riff, lick, or song! Really amazing work here as always!
  • @SSR_Virgo_Tiger
    8:41 was so satisfying. The build up of the explanation paid off beautifully. I involuntarily smiled when he launched into the whole riff.
  • @Geoff_24
    This riff is sooooo satisfying when you actually get it right and play along to it for 20 seconds or so that first time. Such a fantastic riff.
  • 1:17 I really hate when people compare Jesus and Frusciante, like yeah, he's cool and all, but he's not Frusciante.
