I wish this video was 2 hours long.
John Fruciante is one of the greatest guitar player....he playing is embued with emotions and context.
If all of humanity existance needs to be justified, we can do with the the last 28 sec of Scar Tissue...the solo is how a man transcended mortal realm and reached the metaphysical. It is sublime...never heard a more in context solo
lmao shut up
@@Josh-it6uy no, you shut up
Facts
Lol
Stop w drugs
and he’s back, hell yeah
95% of the sound is playing a strat, and playing it well.
into a marshall
David T I’d say about 60%
I know this is a late reply but he has a very unique soulful not entirely clean playing style, that paired with a strat, a DS-2, Ibanez wah, and a Marshall tube make his sound.
more like 70% lol
Most people think the guitar you use is sooo important. I'll tell you, the sound is at least 95% made of your amp and the pickups your put on your guitar. Buy a 200 euros Harley Benton, put some P90 pickups on it... and spend the rest of your budget on a nice tube amp and some pedals depending on your style. In term of sound quality you won't feel the difference. And it will sound much better than a 800 euros Fender on a shitty amp.
Good Job on the 'Look On' solo, definitely one of his best in my opinion
You need that DS2, son
for the "clean" or "dist" tone???
Dist tone
+Cesar Monroy and for what is the big muff?
Solos
+Eetu D and the bigg muff??
do they have a John Frusciante Talent Simulation pedal that I can buy?
I too would totally buy that pedal.
So you guys managed to get a WH10 but not a DS-2?
They do Ibanez wh10 v3 on Gear4music
@@kaicottrell1560 the V3 works fine bc it has true bypass but th V2 doesn't bc it has no true bypass
Guitar Tricks yeah I bought one
Dhonid John’s WH10 definitively didn’t have true bypass. If you ask me, that’s the way to go.
@YUNGMOOD! John did use a DS1 in the californication era, but obviously mode 1 on a ds-2 is the tinnier ds-1 sound if it's wanted. so the DS-1 isn't very versatile for the bulk of John's music of course 😂
love the intro of scsr tissue at slane castle as the intro aha
Finally, someone else who knows that jam.
+Banana Split I know them all 😉
Greg Scholes one of the dopest ties between songs
I listened to the whole of slane whilst on LSD i cried so many times to his playing hahaha
Big respect for including one Ataxia song
Single coil pickups + Marshall voiced amp + playing technique. The pedals are just icing on the cake.
Seymour duncan ssl1
A reverse pickup switch
depends on which era, bssm era tone i find is super hard to replicate
@@DiegoGarciaCadenillas apparently he never used the Duncan's after all, according to his tech. Stock Strat pups all the way through. I put 69 customs in my burst Strat and it's a jf machine!
@@andrewcruz7595 a reverse pickup switch does nothing to affect the tonality of a guitars pickup sound and or output, just means they wired it backwards. john didn't have a reversed pickup switch, the stratocaster used in the video did.
IM SO GLAD THAT YOU NOT ONLY PLAYED RHCP SONGS
Ds-2, ce2w, ibanez wah. Played with a strat into a jubilee. That's a good chunk of the early stuff.
"Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do." Nice job!
How to solo like John Frusciante: Make a face while you’re soloing
the same face you make when youre trying to shit😂 i love frusciante
Many people have videos on how to sound like him... but you guys nailed it! I haven't heard anyone come this close.
I have heard many people come close, closer than this.
I mean his gear is basicly out there so you can copy it easily
Have you never seen Dave simpson's videos?!?!???????
Watch one of soucoz's vid and think about it again...
really? I don't think they nailed it at all
Thank you so much for going over his solo stuff and Ataxia. GENIUS
I totally agree with the throw away your television remark. I did that 6 years ago. I didn't realize what living was all about. Little bits of RUclips here and there,for a treat...
I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you threw in the nod to that ST intro. I've been madly in love with that piece of music for so long. thank you!
Compressor, a Strat and a tube amp is pretty effective for John's cleans usually.
A big muff and wah for dirt.
Not a big RHCP fan but this is brilliant...I love buying pedals from reverb!
@@Jiminy-trx haha...I don't think they suck as I enjoy watching Flea. Blood Sugar Sex Magic was pretty brilliant so I'm not a hater.
"Paper and a pencil...are the best friends I've got..."
That "the sides" tone.. 10/10
The Sides is such an amazing tone!
Thanks for throwing Wet Sand's Solo in there. I've always wondered how he got that sound there.
The wet sand solo is actually the Boss DS-2 with a light overdrive for your boost. Not I don’t know what’s with the random configuration they showed.
Add all the pedals you want, but John’s “signature sound” is just his technique paired with a Stratocaster on the verge of break-up. That’s his best stuff.
His technique and guitars are obviously a massive part of the equation but the man’s pedals are a big part of his musical identity. Have you seen his boards? Not to mention the wacky EQ settings he uses on his Marshalls.
Frusciante’s secret is Boss CE-1 that has an amp inside. Turn all the knobs on your DS-2 and MUFF and control the volume with CE-1.
Thank you for including his solo stuff and ataxia
There is also. A ton of great sounds...he created live during late 80s and early 90s. His playin was a bit more agresive and closer to Slovak...my fav js gig at Kawasaki Club in Japan
Sounds pretty close ! Can you make a "How To Sound Like Josh Homme On Guitar" with Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures songs please ? Or Matt Bellamy?
How to sound like John Frusicante:
*You can't*
He's greater than all of us
Gennaro bahahaha
Best commente eveer!!
True He used a jubilee and a plexi and you can even hear the with one amp and 2
being him
Even if you get all that is in his pedalboard, true vintage guitars and the best amps in the world, you still can't sound like him. Of all the guitar players from the different style of music that i admire and adore i find Fruciante to be the only one that cannot be imitated.
By the way, just get a strat, SSL-1 california 50's pickups, high presence amp, and a bit of overdrive to sound like Froosh.
What's a good affordable high presence amp?
Ray Hoodoo froosh dont use ssl 1
+BigGypsy909 why?
IzPaKs he used standard fender pickups his guitar tech came out earlier THIS year and said that john must have been confused when he said he used ssl 1s
BigGypsy909 no he does use SSL-1, I don't know where you heard that he doesn't. Strat's used to have their stock pickups to be SSL-1, and his iconic sunburst Strat is from 60's.
My wife is drunk and shouting things at the screen. She doesn't Frusciante as I Frusciante.
I am also drunk.
:)
+GetBackinBlack03 - Thanks for sharing!
Reverb.com what is the song 40 seconds in?
That's the verse of "Can't Stop."
Reverb.com nah but after can't stop :) thanks for the reply
about 45 seconds in
1. HE IS BACK
2.HE WH10 IS BACK
John uso durante su paso por los chili Peppers un Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble y no un Boss CH-1 Super Chorus. Como distorsión usaba un Boss DS-2 Turbodistortion y no un DS-1.
Johny Peppers eso se sabe pero el boss ce 1 es un pedal descontinuado no lo van a poner ahi ellos intentan simular su sonido por eso pusieron el overdrive :v
Can't believe how accurate that last one was - even in the ring out!
John never uses a DS-1, he used it with his White Falcon and Fender Showman for the breakdown/bridge of Otherside live (but not in the studio). Around the World didn’t even have a dirt pedal and wah on it, he bi-amped a Silver Jubilee and a Super Bass cranked with a Fender Jaguar and just changed the switches on the guitar for the chorus.
Could you guys or someone do a comparison of what that clean tone would sound like with and without the Silver Jubilee pedal? I've considered buying one to try and color my Laney Cub 12R into more Jube territory, but this video is literally the only one I've seen using this pedal for a Frusciante-style clean tone and not playing hella distorted GNR riffs with Les Pauls and other humbuckers.
cam you guys please do a sounds like Ler Lalonde from Primus
YES
Hell yeah, Ler is such an awesome guitarist but he's so underrated
no compressor???
he never used one in his live rig
His amps were all turned up. They were already compressing, so there was no need.
Chris Fruscio would I need a conpressor to emulate the sound if I have my rig at a lower volume?
Justin McDermott yes
andy patch if he were to include "under the bridge" I bet he would include it. (Tibor)
Around The World would've sounded closer if you fretted the the 12th fret on the e with the B and then did the unison bend with it
and maybe if you included a musicman stingray bass to play backing with a fuzz pedal
That intro, slane castle between by the way and scar tissue
Something with me, when I try so many sounds I lose interest. Everytime when I play random shit on the store and try new sounds I get exhausted. Optimal to find 1 sound, and test with it. I dunno why. Same when creating. Choose 1 sound that fits my mood, then use it. The more I try new ones I lose the red line.
You're hitting the nail exactly on the head. Trying out too much gets you overwhelmed almost. Just finding one thing and experimenting hours with it is so more satisfying.
That first intro piece is from the chills slane castle performance between by the way and scar tissue very cool performance by them
Wet Sand solo never gets old!
There were some parts that the guitar in this video sounds crunchier than the og and there are some parts that the og is crunchier than the guitar in the video. The wet sand solo sounds like a clean metal tone. Well we cant really exactly get the sound of JF.
What about Dani California or Give It Away or Under the Bridge Or Californiacation?
I want to listen to whole version of your Wet Sand cover !!
Im wondering why in some of these, when using preamp type pedals (such as the jubilee) you put them at the beginning... if its supposed to simulate a specific amp, wouldnt it go at the end of the chain?
mynmyself yes you’re right. After distortions & wah, and before modulation (chorus)
I tought exactly the same.
MAKE PART TWO! Thanks!
Dope that you did an Ataxia cover. His best work was on Ataxia and the solo records.
John Frusciante is just fcking great.... what a legend!
Love the slane castle intro
no dani california outro solo? Under The Bridge? Californication? wow
ruclips.net/video/E68CA9SCQfU/видео.html
Can you guys do one on Jack White?
Matt Davis fuzz and whammy that's 85% there
Matt Davis living room gear demos did one
Matt Davis I can tell you all the pedals he uses.
Big muff
Dihitech whammy
Mxr microamp
Octave pedal sometimes
Thats it. It's best to run them through some kind of fender amp with a bit of reverb. He barely uses the octave pedal, only on a fee songs I can think of.
PCMESS That was his set-up with the WS. He uses other pedals with the DW, the Raconteurs, and his solo stuff. He uses a completely different rig for every project.
the octave pedal is for Blue Orchid
Look On and Ataxia! Proper JF fans whoever made this video. Respect. Usually it would just be Dani California and Californication.
Now do Omar Rodriguez Lopez!
yes please! :-)
Yeah
That would be awesome!
+Gabe872 that would be a long video
yessss!!!! :o
That wasn't the Slane Castle intro, it was a jam played in between By the Way and Scar Tissue
intro to scar tissue at slane castle
+Lefty You're right; I misread it.
Well it was an intro to scar tissue in the sense that it was played right after btw and right before scar tissue
nice... thanks for adding his solo songs and ataxia
!!!!
Using the bridge pickup on Scar Tissue but the neck pickup on Can't Stop? What?
0:17
The Sides. So good.
probably my favorite sound like. wet sand and look on are amazing.
Dude, it looks like Nick Jonas was playing around the world
Savage !
What's the problem ? , It's well played
Oyodoz the original is played without wah
+Iñigo Lumbreras Ederra we don't care seriously
Mainly Slane Castle rigs and he plays it with wah live
Most Important pedal for Frusciante guitar tone in the chilis is the Boss CE-1 because of it's unique preamp crunch even when the pedal is off, you see it in all is pedalboards.
Yeah but it's not the most important.
Big muff, super chorus, wow pedal, phase shifter, and blues driver
Using that thumb....👌👌 Frusciante.
John has he's pure sound tone coming out of a Marshall not just the pedals but all in all you're pretty accurate
It cold be nice a Placebo guitar pairings video, good job 👏🏼 👏🏼👍🏼
Man John really loved his micro amp
watching that video every month for at least two years, and still no one made sound like fru better than reverb
Dave Simpson
You can get a Vox V847 wah pedal That 'll do the trick because Ibanez wah pedals are hard to get not on reverb but people have put in the comments saying That it didn't work yea because to you have to Do a bit of tweeking with it and that rubber stuff
They just re released the Ibanez wah so hopefully the price will go down
Is the micro amp just like a volume pedal?
Nope! You play your guitar at normal volume then if you really wanna add some grit or emphasis to your playing, you kick this on. (:
John used a black les paul custom on the recording of wet sand if remember reading
He did? I always thought he used a strat for everything but readymade and make you feel better, tho
he used a Les Paul for the intro to Give it Away too
I dont think so
I'm glad you did some of his solo stuff
I had a friend that could get Frusciante's tone with a Squier with a SD JB in the bridge into a Crybaby running into a Boss Ds-2 into Marshall solid state amp. It was spot on I shit you not.
My strat pickup selector was also wired in reverse when i got it. It was confusing me so much i had to rewire it. 😂
Bruh... kinda sad
00:45? Title?
Francesco Valisi Can't stop
Can’t stop
damn, I was looking for the reverb pedal on the solo bit in "cant stop"
Look on sounds bigger in the record. Around the world was awful! The rest was pretty spot on. Should've made the strip my mind solo! Huge tone! I think it's close to the wet sand one tho. It's based on the big muff as well.
What do you mean? The rhythm was kinda wrong, but the tone for Around the World was spot on.
What song is Look on ? Can’t find it the title might be wrong ?
And now Astralia - You Are Here - the screen fills up with 1000s of pedales.
Is that strat switch wired backwards? sounds way more trebley in the up position than down.
Walter Lane yup, says in description
You played very well. It's funny how difficult is to play exactly equal.
awesome, that wet sand solo was flawless
great video, although I disagree with certain things. boss ce5 would fit better imo, and in can't stop, for instance, the tone is waaaay too bright even using the neck pickup. John cranks the bass knob up on his amps and the high is always pretty low. With this, you can get that crisp and warm sound with the bridge pickup. Around the world is a bit off too. I also missed the distortion of DS2 + big fuzz john uses in some solos eg slane castle, but great video nonetheless
Dude: big muff, mxr micro amp and ibanez wh-10 are ok, but you definitely need a boss ds-2, mxr phase 90, and also a boss ce-1
1:54 why he sound like that💀💀💀
i mean, sounds pretty accurate to me
I thought you were using the actual intro from slane......good fucking job.
GUESS WHOS BACK BACK AGAIN
alguien sabe si la ltd te 254 suena genial para este genero? o que guitarra me recomendarian al el mismo precio porfavor....
Slapback on "television" should be set to a 16th note coordinated to the song's bpm. It was too quick in the vid.
for everyone saying that around the world sounded wrong, get your ears checked cos that's exactly what it sounds like with no bass or drums backing it up
you're right
Not quite. This is a riff that he sometimes played live after the intro until the rest of the band kicks in . He'd then go back to the typical 0-3-5-3-5-3-5-0-3-5-3-5 riff afterwards. (and finish off just completely improvising)
Oh you are a giddy goat
He had the notes right just not the rhythm
exijo una segunda parte con mas de rhcp
Pretty damn close for most of these. A damn good job man.
3:30 Zoom 505 Similar :P
@reverb How come you deleted The Smiths Potent Parings?
3:14 That's kinda Muse stuff
the name that follows? a Can't stop? 0:45
If Josh decides to leave I vote for @Tibor to replace him ..damn son!
Lol
It also depends on the compression of your amp if you don't have a Marshall MG you can still get that John sound well not 100% I have the ds2 and it sounds spot on the Taiwan version
Who asked?
