INFO: John Frusciante was arguably the most important guitarist for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as they grew famous. Flea, the band's bassist, mentions in many interviews how well he connected with the other members on an almost spiritual level. This statement makes it even more interesting to look up his story and his feats as a guitarist.

    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 KZreadr 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.

On the other hand when it comes to heart and soul, creativity, and innovation then JF and Hendrix are easily in the top 5. Hendrix is without a doubt by far the most influential guitarist of all time, anyone who tries to dispute that my ears will just automatically shut off to them.

    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).

    @stephentherarabear Have to disagree with ya about the hendrix comment, john could play hendrix's full discography fluidly before joining rhcp, it's like, why they chose him to be in the band. and some his recordings with rhcp are TOTALLY on hendrix's level in terms of technicality/musicianship. see exhibit A: the end of the song Turn It Again. John uses far more restraint than hendrix, but always for the higher purpose of what he's trying to convey in the song; like, just because he's not shredding the whole time doesn't mean he couldn't if he wanted to. I am biased though, Frusciante changed my life, and basically got me into understanding music as an art form that can rock your soul to the core of it's very being lol. I've been playing guitar for ~15 years now (fuck i'm old lol) and it's a huge part of who I am...might not totally be that way if it wasn't for John. I totally consider him to be Hendrix 2.0. Think about it this way, Hendrix passed away when he was 27, and John is turning 60 soon, so just the cumulative experience of playing guitar WAY longer than Hendrix was able to, puts him in another category imo.

Anthony came to John with a riff that was very basic and was like "this is cool" and John didn't think so until he thought on it some more and decided the rhythm was nice to it, he changed up the melody and expanded on it to make it what it is now. I love the architecture that goes on behind songs like this.

    Anthony came up with the rhythm, but not the actual riff per se. He was massing it out on the low e string, without knowing how to play guitar. John laughed it off at the time, but what Anthony played stuck in his head rhythmically. He then played it in key, not just bashing random notes on guitar, and we got the awesome riff.

    Great work as usual Lie. John is one of my favorite guitar players; he plays so evocatively with so much passion. A true inspiration. As for which artist/band would be cool to see next, I would love to see a video detailing the significance/impact of a cult classic such as Velvet Underground, Big Star, or The Replacements, and how these artist(s) hovered in relative obscurity while igniting a massively influential reputation. Keep up the awesome work man, it's been awesome to witness your channel grow in popularity and reception as it is much deserved.

    Noah Kankanala Hey Noah. Long time, no talk. Hope everything is well over there. And yes, very few people match his intensity and passion for guitar playing. It's easy to see that in the way he's animated while playing. And talking about the next video topic, there's a high possibility i might do The Velvet Underground. Have gotten a lot of requests of that one. It also ties together with the videos i've already made about Bowie and Iggy who were highly influenced by them 🤘 Take care man.

    One of the only guitarists that I can think of that actually deserves to make all of the different 'faces' full of emotion when playing. Another thing is he's not afraid to explore all directions and experiment. Simply put, most guitarists play the guitar to alter and bring out their emotions. John uses his emotion to bring out the guitar and alter it. He doesn't play guitar chords and notes. He plays raw emotion.

    To be honest it's a lot of bedroom "musicians" that don't understand this stuff. So I can see why things have been simplified. I see many people bashing John's playing because they can't comprehend that the guitar can be used for more than just shredding scales and sweeping arpeggios. Who knows, any that may come across this will finally get what makes him, and the band as a whole, so great.

    I couldn’t agree more. I’m 37yrs old, picked up a guitar 31yrs ago and haven’t sat it down. I think the video explained what John does best, and that is saying a lot with very little. Music is written for everyone, not just musicians. Take Ingwie for example, he’s technically so advanced and while I respect him, his music doesn’t touch my soul, as I’m sure most non musicians would have a similar sentiment. What John does is easy while at the same time very difficult. Personally I would rather hear that any day. Also take into account that when your back by such an amazing rhythm section as flea and Chad, you have the room to sit back and play sparsely. Soul to squeeze is a great example of flea’s bass being out more in the front with John painting in the details that bring it together nicely

    Yeah... he can definitely play some incredibly technical parts when he wants to, but I would agree with the video that that's not the aspect of his playing that he's most known for. In my opinion his real genius is his ability to pare the guitar back to be very simple yet extremely powerful both melodically and rhythmically. He's got a fluidity to his playing where he seems to be unconsciously hyper aware (if that makes any sense) of what everyone else is doing and he steps up to the forefront and then steps back into the shadows so seamlessly within the context of everything else that's going on.
