Frusciante and Jonny Greenwood are my favorite guitarists of the last 30 years. They don't really sound like someone else, when you hear them, you can tell it's them, very distinct.
He's the one artist i can or will say, honestly saved my life. His life, his work in rhcp, his solo albums, ataxia, his interviews, all of it. I don't have the right words or enough words. Hes an endless inspiration and source of hope for me and many others.
John doesn't just come up with riffs and play guitar chords, he comes up with super catchy melodies. The Under The Bridge guitar melodies are some of the best of all time!
Frusciante is one the most original guitarists in the last 40 years. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is peak RHCP (imo), is their best album and an absolute masterpiece, start to finish. The rawness of the production on that album perfectly captured the punk and funk influences that the over-produced subsequent albums failed to emulate.
Frusciante fans should check out his interviews on Broken Record with Rick Rubin. They did multiple sessions and it’s the most in depth I’ve ever heard John go in an interview with anyone about his life, career, and playing.
As John was influenced to play guitar by jimi, I was influenced to play guitar by John. Still to this day, I don’t get as hyped listening to anything as I do a chilis live set. A truly one of a kind experience
I dreamed of seeing John Frusciante live since I was a kid, finally between 2022 and 2023 I was lucky enough to see him with the Peppers 9 times (on my yt channel I shared some of the most amazing moments of the tour). Every little sacrifice was WORTH IT. My favorite artist of all time❤
Excellent video... As a full blown guitar addict and half ass guitar player I have the utmost respect and admiration for Johns artistry. He's a beast of a player no doubt!
Sure but you can draw a line from any great guitar player back to another guitar player. The best guitarists usually are plucked from the 60s and 70s because the field was still very open. The closer you get to the present the more difficult it becomes to innovate since so much has already been done. There's only so many chords, strings and notes.
Man that boy really did a number on John. The few years he spent in deep addiction took a big toll on him. Came back looking totally different and I think harmed his ability to write.
My fave living guitarist of these times. Hendrix being a huge influence on John is no coincidence. He could play all of Jimis songs by his mid to late teens. Loves his Fender Strats & ..John was born the same year that Jimi Hendrix passed. 🎶👻
I think that title belongs to the great Travis Meeks……painfully forgotten and underrated; guy is for the acoustic guitar what Jimi Hendrix was for the electric.
Frusciante is an incredible musical genius and definitely very emotionally empathetic. I get a lot of satisfaction from his artistic expression.When he hits rock bottom because of addiction, he was still continue creating. His music as a wonderful whole with its unique harmony and its an incredible experience for the listener. He creates melodies that belongs to another universe and this is really hard to believe. Long live John!
When talking about RHCP one should also mention south california blues/beach rock. While you can route this stuff back to the catalog of Jimmy, it developed in parallel. One big difference is the single note playing in the californian music is quite narrow with a lot of space for the vocals and bass. While the chords open up for a huge chorus. In Jimmys playing the chords are turned down a bit into the rythm work. The solo notes on the other hand start right where the bass ends and reach well into the vocal range
@@przemyslaw1235 the impact gary moore had on music is nowhere close to that of frusciante.. you like gary moore.. cool.. but what you like doesn't make facts sorry
He really is an unique guitarrist. But the assessment that he is the best cannot be made honestly, not without lack of good observation, because there are so many and so uniquely good guitarrists around. I find it ridiculous.
Fantastic video mate. Personally, I’ve always admired John F.- I hear everything you’ve talked about and feel everything you can’t verbalise in his playing. Really enjoyed this video- “A squid eating dough down a polyethylene bag is faster and bulbous- got me”. If you know the lyrics then you know who I think you should do next. ✌️
i've played guitar for a lot of years. i still can't play the riff from Snow (hey oh) up to speed without butchering it. Frusciante writes great licks.
Frusciante isn’t exactly smooth either when he plays it Needs compression and reverb and don’t worry about being precise, just get the rythem and backbeat happening
Nice! comprehensive analysis🙌🏼My three favorite solo albums of John's though, were written and recorded during the period of time that you said he put the guitar down; Niandra LaDes, Usually Just a T-shirt, and Smile From the Streets You Hold. Yes, he was a junkie for most of this time period, '94 - '97. Yes, most people find them very difficult to listen to, especially Smile, an album John admits he released strictly for drug money. BUT, I don't think John ever really put the guitar away. Like Hendrix in many ways, the instrument is an extension of himself; through the very best of times to the very worst of times and back.
Great coverage. I imagine most of us Fru stans already know most of this but still great to see it cohesively covered on the silver screen. What else do I wanna see? Well Frusciante solo albums are quite genius especially when you dig into the meaning behind the lyrics...I only know bc another channel opened my eyes to it. Otherwise, his guitars, his vocal treatment or what I call the John Chorus. But don't go too far from JOhn, my 2 sats.
He’s truly a great. He’s definitely touched with genius. Just as well as klinghoffer and Navarro are both incredible in their own rights. Klinghoffer has replaced both of them, Jane’s lucked out too though having avery and flea jamming Jane’s/chilli,jams must have been amazing
bruh thanks for stayin on topic and not starting with a history of funk music or a history of RHCP or the day John was born. Thanks for not talking about all the other guitar players of John's day. Thanks for not telling us what guitars he plays and a history of those. I'm so fucking sick of terrible fucking video essays. Thanks for not telling us what you're about to tell us, holy shit the number of 20 minute videos that spend 10 minutes saying "im about to tell you about the title of the video but first im going to tell you something else and this is how im going to tell it to you" before sidetracking for 5 minutes. Good video, good perspective, good clips. This is what 1mill plus subbed channels should be doing but it seems like these really high quality channels are always at 50k subs and the really terrible awful disgustingly idiot CONTENT FARM shit that seems like AI wrote and produced it gets 1mill plus. Anyway, thanks for the breath of fresh air.
As much as I love John and as much as his guitar playing has influenced me, I still think that John Mayer (who hasn’t influenced me) probably is the best guitarist of the last 30 years. 😋
Can someone tell me what song is playing at the very beginning during the intro? It’s been bugging me all week and I can’t for the life of me figure it out.
thats a good point about time around californication, that it was renesance in way how john play compare to his older style and he returned to it lately in Stadium arcadium. Also the rip offs are quite fascinating :D Also stron influence for John was Jimmy Page who he adore and one time in his early life believed that he is perfect creation of guitarist. :D Also if you want to go deeper I made video about how John looks on creation proces and music as such: ruclips.net/video/IbEXQLbWH0I/видео.html
Frusciante isa very talented guitarist, and by no means do I mean to diminish him or his talent. His solo music, his collaborations, he is incredibly impressive and accomplished. That being said, he is nowhere near “the best” (whatever the hell that means anyway). He is a giant amongst pop music guitarists, influential and trusted amongst indie guitarists, and respected by most everyone who hasn’t played with Mike Patton. Calling him the best, if anything, just diminishes his contributions to music by applying an inappropriate platitude to his carreer
He's a great song writer and a good guitarist but if you want a amazing suggestion for a guitarist to check out that deserves alot more recognition, it's Yvette Young, her band is called Covet. Chech her out and thank me later.
7:12 -- Pat Smear ?!!! from The Germs !! you went there !? you went FULL FRK CIRCLE !!!!! i did not see that coming........ the GREAT Pat Smear from: The Germs, NIRVANA, (and now) Foo Fighters (aka The Dave Grohl Band)
I'm a fan of John's playing. But there are levels to this, and his body of work doesn't get him a place at the same tables with guys like Derek Trucks, or Tosin Abasi. Unlike Frusciante, guys in this echelon actually built upon the work of their influences and gave us something new.
I'm gonna be that guy: for all we know, that quote attributed to Stravinsky is made up, as it was also attributed to Picasso by Steve Jobs. T S Elliot was the one who said something along those lines when talking about other poets.
RHCP is the only band I can think of that the singer and guitarist are the most famous members of the band, flea and Chad smith are certainly today Anthony is certainly way up there as all singers are but I’d bet especially recently more people would recognize Chad smith today or at least as much as Anthony it’s the complete opposite of what’s normal. Normally the singer and guitarist are the most famous and the bass player is forgotten and the drummer is just there in the middle
Edward Van Halen John Mayer Quinn Sullivan Bonamassa and Chris Stapleton Stevie Ray Vaughn BRIAN SETZER YES FIRE... and a young guy acoustic does a lot of Spanish influenced almost Flamenco style the Tango very jazz latin great 12 string
You are fighting over who is the best guitarists, like little kids over a lollipop. There are people around the world, that never tried to become famous, or to get people to know them, that are better players than anyone of the famous ones that might come in your mind. It's not about who is the best, it's about who's playing and composition you like the most. Stop fighting and just enjoy.
Good video but two things- 1: your description of an arpeggio is incorrect, what you’re describing is inverted chords. 2: Eddie Hazel deserves credit as a major influence,much more so than pat smear
Love John Frusciante, but these kind of statements show how far from reality of art some people live. The guitar world is vast my friend, and it matters for the guitar player, and even though most of us love John “To Death” pun intended, I doubt someone would consider him the best guitarist of the last 30 years, anyway, great video, thanks!
This popped up as a recommendation while I was watching a Marcus King performance 😂 good player, sure… but best in the last 30 years is extremely laughable. If they’re your favorite band, I can understand that opinion… but barely.
I’d have to put Dave Navarro in this conversation, the guy is just completely unreal on the guitar. John is up there for sure also. But I can’t say he is better than Dave. I love them both, but I’m being objective.
@@rickysubie I like them both, but in my opinion 😊 Dave Navarro is technically more skilled. But I mean no disrespect, nor do I claim to be correct. Just my opinion 🙏
With tragedy of Hillel's death, we may have never got a John Frusciante in our life time. It is sad that he died, but also a blessing. Weird to say, but true.

I don't have the right words or enough words. Hes an endless inspiration and source of hope for me and many others.
Me too
Always loved his solo work, too. The Will to Death, The Past Recedes, Murderers etc
Niandra lades and usually just a t-shirt! I love that album so much! Couldn't care less about the chili peppers though.
The Will To Death is what I think is his masterpiece
John doesn't just come up with riffs and play guitar chords, he comes up with super catchy melodies. The Under The Bridge guitar melodies are some of the best of all time!

Definitely not skipping a song on that album. Funky Monks is a must watch documentary.
Yep thats my favorite too
I know it!
I do not think BSSM is their Best album.

No John without Jimi Hendrix

Live at slane castle is the John frusciante show, unbelievable guitarist. Top 3 of all time.
Love his solo stuff
This video is so true bro
Man that boy really did a number on John. The few years he spent in deep addiction took a big toll on him. Came back looking totally different and I think harmed his ability to write.
His best work came after that .
My favourite guitarist of all time. The way he expresses himself or the message of the song through his music is unparalleled.
I'm glad you're making these videos again! You do such a great job, keep up the great work 👍
He didn't "pretty much put the guitar down" when he quit rhcp. He made great music as a solo artist. Multiple great albums.
Well done! John is one of the goats!
the thing is everyone can play like john but noone can dream like him
Huh
