I lack the words to properly articulate the emotions I felt standing in that crowd Sunday night listening to him melt my face with Eddie! It was such an intense experience. I didn't want it to end.

You are a big inspiration for me! I have been playing (self-taught) for over two years now and your videos continue to fuel my love for guitar, even if I may not be good at it!

Very cool and a lot of fun to listen to. There is so much feeling/emotions going on during that performance (both parties). Thanks for the in-depth insight!

the tone on this song is face melting and overall the entire song will go down as one of their best imo. people rlly liked it and i only heard positive things in the comments and people still religiously listen and follow rhcp and are even more excited now that john returned cus the difference is obvious. the new album is out in this very moment and their energy is unmatched

John is definitely my fav guitarist and he has inspired me so much. You should do more vids like this Tyler!

So glad you covered this live version and broke some down. Incredible playing! Yeah, he's blues/pentatonic based in his solos but it's the way he plays everything that makes him such a great guitarist.

Witnessing this live in the front row was so god damn amazing. This was a hell of a show🌶

Man love your videos, I have such a great time watching your videos 🎶🎸

I love both new albums, just amazing to see John Frusciante back!!!

Keep up the great work!❤ I love it when you make frusciante vids. Rhcp’s music is so magical, you can listen to listen to songs like Rivers of Avalon or hard to concentrate 1000s of times and cry each time

Having John back in RHCP is wonderful. I’ve been wanting to hear him play guitar again for years! His electronic stuff is cool and I love everything he has created, but his best stuff is done with a guitar in his hands. And his vocals are wonderful. I’ve been into Frusciante, as well as RHCP, since I was a teenager. His existence has meant a lot to me throughout most of my life. I’m 45 now and I still get the same excitement and emotion sitting in front of the stereo listening as I spin RHCP albums. I love them. 🤘🏽❤️🎶

Just blown away by Tyler’s way to transcribe and make it look so easy and efortless. Always been a great inspiration for me! Awesome video!🤘🏻

Thanks for sharing. John has always been my secret weapon ever since I started playing, he’s the biggest inspiration on guitar, currently living.

I just a few weeks got to see them live and it was one of the best nights ever and frusciante put on a show like no other, I swear he lit that guitar on fire man

Got to see it in person and it was absolutely amazing, didn’t realize some of the stuff he was doing and I was amazed.

My all time favorite guitarist. The emotion that he can pull out of a guitar is unlike anything ive ever heard. Inspired me to start playing guitar at 11 years old, here i am at 35, still floored by watching this master at work.

Me too, mate. I'm still excited by it. From the footage the last week in NZ and now into Australia, he's warming right up!!

Something about this album - and this song in particular - makes me feel like a kid again. I even went and subscribed to print versions of Guitar World again! I’m just so inspired.

I have seen them twice recently. When they filled in for ff at Jazz Fest was soul fulfilling!

Awesome as always! Why you don’t use a strat for this video I’ll never know but hey, looking forward to the next one!

Such an amazing song, saw it live last month, awesome experience. These guys don't seem to age!

I knew you would make a video about this great solo :)

Our mjnds were blown when we heard this song for the first time! First those very melodic lines in the verses and chorus and then one big fat solo, WOW!

I'm working my way through Guitar Super System now and the intro stuff on theory is gold.

FROOSH is back and he’s blowing us away but our ears are hungry for every time his finger touches those strings. To see him channel his energy and vibe through his guitar and resonating out of those amps is a thing of beauty..

I just saw them live last Tuesday and boy what a show.. the audio quality of the stadium wasn't great but john worked with it really well, and this solo sounded absolutely fantastic.. I can't stop playing since I saw that, truly a guitar legend

That Chapman guitar is the shiznit! Been wanting it for awhile. P90s are hot right now and that baby has killer specs on top of SD pickups.

Agreed. Didn’t think much of their last album tbh but this one one is shaping up. Traditionally I won’t break it out til my next full hr hill run but the Yootoobs snippets have been very encouraging for Canteen.

Yeah the guitar part in this song is amazing. This gives me very strong 2006 stadium arcadium vibes which I still consider their masterpiece. I do wish there was a little bit better melody, harmonies on this really making it sound more full and rich but John does not disappoint with that guitar solo. Absolutely love that they have another full album again so soon. John is a music making machine and I love that he is back in the band. We've been waiting years for him to return and we knew at some point he probably would. I must say I was kind of disappointed with the initial album this year. It was good to have them back and there were a couple of good songs, however it lacked that full masterpiece sound stadium arcadium had. Maybe it will take them a couple of albums to get back to their best again but stadium arcadium for me hit on all levels. Songwriting was great. Arrangement and song structure were fantastic. The harmonies and melodies and all of the pretty parts of the song really bloomed big time on that album and it had the best guitar work of the band yet. For shante was an absolute beast who crushed nearly every track on that with amazing guitar solos. I still keep it very high in my rotation. Thank God they gave us a double album full of great songs to sustain us all those years he was gone because one album would not have been enough. speaking of one of them not being enough it's great that we have a second one this year and this one is better than the initial one earlier this year I think. We need John for Shawnee guitar God beast mode at all times on their songs. That's what people come for. To bow at his feet as the guitar God he is. Anthony can sing about whatever bizarre la lyrics pop in his head and that's fine, this band is not about the lyrics to me. They never have been. Chad is awesome on drums, flea is a beast on the base and John is a shining God on guitar. It's about the music. Bring forth more music for us to worship. So glad John's back in the band. 2022 is awesome!

Lol. I will never unsee it now.

Just heard his song for the first time with the album drop last week. This solo took John Frusciante to a whole 'nother level (as if that was possible). The way he evokes EVH while doing his own thing but also having subtle nods to so many other guitar greats, I think has undoubtedly submitted him amongst them indefinitely with this one. There are hints of Hendrix, Page, Gilmour, Allen Collins, etc. It's in the nuisance of it, but it's there, and it's just incredible. I'm afraid it'll ultimately go under looked for what it is, but man, if the day of the guitar gods of old is coming to an end for a new era, Frusciante is making sure it doesn't go out with a whisper.

The L-R switching timing is the first dealbreaker for me (literally sounds like whoever did it was drunk), and most of the leads I could predict with 90%> accuracy and I'm a SHIT guitarist compared to him (don't play anymore but a good critical listener though). The mix was badly done in multiple ways in my opinion. A EVH tribute deserves attention to every note and I feel it did not get enough (if any). I've heard thousands of leads of this caliber. I would have a lot less problems with the track if it wasn't a tribute to Eddy. P.S. Talking about the album version of the song, this live recording is nowhere good enough for me to judge anything.
