This video is so awesome! Thank you so much for making it! Frusciante is one of the best guitar players ever in my opinion. He is criminally underrated!
i feel like john frusciante prefers the easy and melodic riffs, but every once in a while he pulls up a jimmy hendrix out of his sleeve to make sure people understand it's a choice hahah
It's ok even if you tune your guitar correctly you won't get the same sound 😂 It was argued whether it was tuning issue or recording issue but turned out John tuned it with intent.
@@ashcrimsonl I saw a video on this. Apparently, one of the strings (forgot which) was tuned a little flat because it sounded actually more in "tune" with the song. It's not actually too difficult to replicate the tuning if you do it by ear instead of those electronic tuners.
@@EnterJustice and it's such a stupid thing to do. If I want to hear Scar Tissue, I'm not going to come to this video just to listen to someone play the intro. But if I've never heard Scar Tissue before, watched this video and liked the sound of the riff, I'd go look for the original to hear the rest. It's just good publicity to let people do covers.
I love how in the Mothers Love era John kinda followed the trend at the time: high gain guitars (he played ibanez at the time) with heavy overdrive, even the production of the records. Then in BSSM he went off and found his signature sound (single coils and with less overdrive) and just developed from that through the years. Even crazier to think that he was just 20-21 years old at the time and his sound is instantly recognizable and distinct from everyone else.
@Luke uh, alternative picking for scar tissue is difficult and I've been playing for a while, snow is one of the most difficult riffs for a guitarist. this would take a new guitarists possibly months
His rythm playing is what makes it difficult to replicate his songs. As a lead, he's also great, he was a great tapper back in the day (im pretty sure he still does) and his alternate picked scale runs (ex. The last lick on Dani California Solo) are also very impressive and wild.
Nothing but love for this video, Nikola! ❤ The quintessential RHCP riffs in one take ❤ Thank you so much for this and for all your hard work! Stay safe and well 🙏
@@nikolagugoski hello my friend how you doing? Hope well. I have a sugest for you: in your lessons you could spot the key, it'd be great, like in dani california we've 3 different tones. Thank you very much for your nice work, i've learned so much from u.
My favourite riffs to play: Funky Monks: 1:19 Scar Tissue: 2:46 Easily: 3:53 (this one always remembered me a song that is called "Va a escampar" from "La vela puerca") Can't Stop: 4:17 Minor Thing: 4:51 The Zephyr Song: 5:34 Turn It Again: 6:29 4:58 there is a mistake in the tab, it says: 5 instead of: 7 but idc, i can understand the tab perfectly 7 7 7 7 7 7 5 5 keep doing this
Aqesome work. Many thanks. Could you explain the copyrighting. For example why did only a portion of Scar Tissue get copyrighted and not the whole song. Thanks again.
you play the snow riff just like i did when i started trying to learn it! first two notes of each chord down picked and then alternate picked, or two downpicks at the end of each chord. eventually i started alternate picking as a rule and found it was only doable for me if i started with an up pick.
"Can't Stop" encouraged me to pick up a guitar at seven. I'm twenty-five now. John is my number one guy ever, hands down. I've dissected every album to feature him in my young adult life. In high school, BSSM was 90% of what I listened to back and forth to school and work. But there's something about the riff to "Dani California" that just clicks for me. Relatively simple when you look at the chords, it just drives home how important rhythm playing is, it's all in the hands. And then to climax with such a killer solo. It's, to me, what guitar playing is all about. And like the top comment on this video says, I too cannot wait to see what he has in store for round three.
Absolutely. Chasing the tone - go check out Dave video, need to figure out how to play - Nikola always got tabs for it. Those two channels should be preserved at all cost as essential knowledge of humanity :D

His solo stuff is great too. So much songs from him.

Snow is not easy riff bro, it’s one of the hardest ones 😅
Absolutely. The man can absolutely shred when he wants

Ah, John Frusciante. The number one reason players give for buying a sunburst strat.
I personally love the turquoise strat and the seafoam green one
@FeS FeO2 that's also a beautiful colour. I forgot to mention, the Daphne Blue Strat is also ever so lovely
Haha, it’s true, though. He’s why I bought mine, lol.
He’s exactly why I bought mine too

Even crazier to think that he was just 20-21 years old at the time and his sound is instantly recognizable and distinct from everyone else.
He only followed the trend on Mother’s Milk ‘cause Michael Beinhorn, who produced that album, insisted on John having a metal guitar tone
His lick is not difficult to play but difficult to create, he is creative guitar player, I love RHCP era with him
Not difficult? Please. His phrasing, chord shapes and runs are challenging.
@Luke uh, alternative picking for scar tissue is difficult and I've been playing for a while, snow is one of the most difficult riffs for a guitarist. this would take a new guitarists possibly months
I agree with you *mostly* cuz some songs with alternative picking are pretty hard but are really easy if you fingerstyle those riffs.
Their licks are very easy to play it.. wrong. He got a technique that is kind of unique.
His rythm playing is what makes it difficult to replicate his songs. As a lead, he's also great, he was a great tapper back in the day (im pretty sure he still does) and his alternate picked scale runs (ex. The last lick on Dani California Solo) are also very impressive and wild.

Dude I love that guitar and that tone
Wet Sand is one of my personal favs off Stadium Arcadium. I would love to hear a cover from this guy!
Good job, man!!!
good video
Really, really amazing work. Obviously by John first but your technique is spot on as well. Nicely done!
yes maaaan. good time boys!
Hermoso video y gracias por compartir con nosotros tu material 🤘🏻
Thankyou Nikola!!!!!!!! You’re the best
Excellent video! cleared up a couple things that I was not doing right.
Excellent thanks a lot!
Great stuff as always
Nice good accurate tabs n everything good job
Awesome work bro.
Clean as
Excellent stuff as always man!
Thanks Niko!!
The best jf teacher hands down
Totally agree on no.1, dani is a true masterpiece
"Magic Johnson" - amazing riffs. Also, Save The Population and Rivers of Avalon
Well done! Thank you
Thank you too!
Turn it again is the most underrated riff
A lot of these riffs would be so easy if it weren’t for the muted strumming lol. Fs me up every time
Thats the spice. John knew that. John may play simple notes but with a twist.
Sublime!!
Awesome
John is just very good for big riffs.
Excellent,Thank you,
Was anyone else singing along to each song like me? Couldn't help myself.
That tone is soo fuckin good
Good times boys is amazing
Hey Nikola, you should get your music on Spotify and promote it more, it's really good!
You can see on the Mother’s Milk album he’s trying to play funk riffs with a punk attitude. It’s what he grew up with.
Hey man can you add your amp settings and effects used for these? They are all spot on 👍
I use only Guitar rig. Screenshots of all presets I use for my videos are available on my Patreon page
I'm wondering what amp and effects do you used to record this video. Perfect crunchy sound.
Thanks. I'm using only Guitar rig. All presets I use are available on my Patreon page
I'm motivated, I will learn this riffs
i would pay just to watch u play all rhcp songs
Fodaaa !!!! abrazos desde Brazil
Please can you do the intro of Live Earth 2007?
Always come here to play an RHCP song (basically the only guitar songs I play)
0:07 Fenders have this metallic, fret buzzy jingling sound on the wound strings that's just ugh
Hi may I ask you how you record such quality sounds ? btw its amazing
Would be so great if you could do a Gong Li Lesson. I just love the verse and the chorus
Love the hammer on pull offs you did ok Dani California
Aqesome work. Many thanks.
Could you explain the copyrighting. For example why did only a portion of Scar Tissue get copyrighted and not the whole song. Thanks again.
Thanks. Not sure why they copyrighted only the first part. Maybe because the original song starts like that - guitar only.
john IS the rhcp!
Knock me down is heavily underrated!
Think i got some new music to listen to tonight fellas rocc on ladies and gents😎🤙
💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you play the snow riff just like i did when i started trying to learn it! first two notes of each chord down picked and then alternate picked, or two downpicks at the end of each chord. eventually i started alternate picking as a rule and found it was only doable for me if i started with an up pick.

What about Under the Bridge?
Tell me baby?
How doea under the bridge not make the cut?
Next Brian May pls!!
I don't know how to play guitar but I will say I think this is the only cover I've ever seen of give it away where the intro sounded right.
please tabs on puddle by chon
or newborn son
From californication and beyond is kinda like a disevolution 😔
subway to Venus is a wait until tommorrow just from wish.
So looking forward to what John will do in round three.
Ed Mathews I can’t wait, hope corona at least brought them more time to compose new music
Apparently he's been heavily into UK Drum and Bass the past few years 🤣I am absolutely buzzing at the idea of a 174bpm Chad John Flea madness 🕺🕺🕺
so do I, dude
Tom Brunyee oh, you want flea and John at 174 bpm? RUclips search "John flea Omar". Thank me later...
James Schultz *Est.1982 woah, the 20 minute long video on youtube one? Didn't think there was a mosh pit there lol
You never realize how much Flea’s bass playing compliments the riffs until it’s absent
The same way you dont realize how much RHCP lost its soul until John goes missing. Good music still? Sure, but Johns guitar is the backbone.
Otherside exemplifies this
@@GenjiroKibigami That's right, Flea and John complete each other and i think they should kiss, in his essay i will-
💯

Cant stop encouraged you to pick up a guitar not a bass?
Completely agree, I had BSSM in my CD tray and it never came out
Yourself and Dave Simpson are probably the best guitarist on youtube for this style of playing I reckon
Two of mine favorite You Tube guitarist.
The goat Dave Simpson
Absolutely. Chasing the tone - go check out Dave video, need to figure out how to play - Nikola always got tabs for it. Those two channels should be preserved at all cost as essential knowledge of humanity :D

Agree. But try checking yesyuta's channel
"Knock Me Down" is still my favorite RHCP song. I'm old, I guess.
Nope, you got good ears. And you know what music is about !

Sound a bit like a page riff... 🤘
