    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
    RUclipsr 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.

    John Frusciante is like the Steve Jobs of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Although not a founding member, he joined the band early on, and put them on the map. Then when he rejoined years later (with his newly found minimalist approach), he took the band to unbelievable heights, and the rest is history!

      @@MaynardOwns Yea it depends what kind of top ten list it is, he is easily in the top of mine and many others favorites list like you said, but when it comes to technical ability Hendrix isnt even on the top 10, there is alot of amazing jazz musicians that will blow them both away when it comes to technical ability being able to rip thru every chord, scale, and technique there possibly is. 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.

      @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.

  • @Elvis_Gonzalez
    @Elvis_Gonzalez 6 лет назад +103

    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).

      @DeathRecon97 6 лет назад +43

      Paweł L Yeah, you're probably referencing the boat interview so I'll expand on that a bit. 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.

    • @broda910
      @broda910 6 лет назад +7

    • @batman8293
      @batman8293 6 лет назад +15

      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.

    John Fruciante is one of the finest guitar player ever....his contribution to guitar music is in similar level of Jimmy Page, Mark Knofler, Slash, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, David Gilmore in context of contribution to a song.
    His solo in Scar tissue is an achievement of humanity, as it is one of the finest musical expression of emotions in history...it is like the entire human consciousness has precipitated towards that moment of 28 seconds of perfection.

      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.

    Although you're point on with John Fursciante's versatility in playing different musical roles in songs , the band's communication and connectivity to each otheralso plays a very vital role in sustaining and further developing artistic expression. They're like a family , they have this understanding amongst each other which allows them to express themselves in a way where each of them give spaces for the other to fill in. Red Hot Chilli Pepper's greatest strength is their bond with each other, they're quite an inspiration.

    Time.
    John plays with a time that no one has really had before him. What he lacks in technicality, he makes up for with soul and time.
    It's why his solos are so amazing, and why his arpeggios make you feel like you're dreaming

      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
