I have hated theory my entire life, but this series makes it interesting. Instead of just learning theory you are applying it to a song so it has more context, makes it interesting. Thanks Sean, Great idea.
Can you do more songwriting theory videos? Like explain the theory behind the chords and how they work together, for specific songs. For some reason no one on RUclips really does that.
Check out MusicisWin, he does a lot of deep music stuff, but always goes into advertising for his classes (which aren't bad! I've bought one and it had a lot of good content!)
Sean, great lesson as always but can you do a lesson on enjoy the silence by depeshe mode? I know there is not so much guitar but harmonies seems crazy in that song so it would be really nice to explains us what going.on there. :-) By the way, helped me a lot in understanding why good things sound good so, thanks
Great Work Sean! New appreciation here. I know people are down on DMB sometimes, but I heard that Satellite was initially a guitar e exercise. Is there some interesting 'theory' going on with those notes?
I like the explanation of leaving room. I playing around with fl studio, and sometimes it sounds really clogged up. Maybe I should start thinking in terms of dyads instead of triads.
I always loved how John was able to write this song essentially around 3 chords but make them all sound completely unique and different to each other. By picking the F, C and Dmin an octave higher and then strumming them during the... Chorus? I guess you'd call it. Really an interesting way to look at building songs.
Awesome video Sean! how would you go about playing this with a plectrum, as John does live? Its a style of playing he uses a lot, like on the song Murderers. Very nice guitar by the way, sweet colour. More Frusciante videos would be very much appreciated (maybe one on that insane Snow riff?). Thanks!
Damn, that comment about about using the pieces of chords gave me one of those a-ha moments to use the pieces to allude to other notes and chords. I'm going to be playing with this idea for awhile now. Thank you
Hey Sean, awesome look at this song. I've known how to play it for a while but never really thought about it like that. Also wondering if you have any tattoos?
Got to say, loving the deconstruction. I am in no way an aficionado of the fretboard, but love the provided knowledge! Recommending the Small Hours "riff", by Holocaust.
I learned a different way, but you are providing a light bulb moment for me. Do you have tabs on what you are teaching, here in this video? Frusciante is my favorite living musician, so I absorb everything I can, but I am still pretty new and certainly still suck whole lots of ass. Oh shoot, I forgot the most important part: THANK YOU!
great vid sean...I have this one problem..my hands is too small.I can play pretty well sitting but while standing i cant play properly because my hands is too small..Is there anyway to overcome this problem?
I think the best advice I can give is to tighten your strap so there's not a lot of slack and the guitar isn't hanging low at all. It looks kind of awkward at first but it's good practice to get used to standing and playing while recreating a similar distance and angle to when you're sitting. Then as you get more comfortable start loosening the slack.
SEAN! THIS ISN'T! OK! I was just thinking I wanted to listen to this song when I got home from work then BAM! I never listen to RHCP either! Stop being a wizard! Ahem... *chants slowly* Kash-Mir Kash-Mir Kash-Mir Anyway, strange Led Zep cult behavior aside. What about The Black Keys' Lonely Boy? Or Little Black Submarine? Those were actually two of my ex's favorite songs that I've grown rather fond of in the months following our break up. Any Black Keys would be awesome tbh
Thanks Sean. Never really liked RHCP at all really but I am slowly starting to hear the beauty of Frusciante's guitar style. I still can't listen though because Keidis screaming "WAMMA LAMMMA LA BAMA JAMA WAHAMMMAAAAA, BAMA" drives me fucking insane. Anyway, thanks for the lesson. BAMA JAMA
dude sometimes you make shit more complicated than it is the old dead broken chords red hot what ghdfeu was jako and then all hohoup wanna be and et titi fingers the way ps whags dont play bar chords since janjo all real gjitar playrs glad to aswipe!
More Frusciante guitar lessons please. You know he is my favorite guitar player lol.
Will do!
Riff Deconstruction is a super helpfull format. Please keep 'em coming!
Will do!
I have hated theory my entire life, but this series makes it interesting. Instead of just learning theory you are applying it to a song so it has more context, makes it interesting. Thanks Sean, Great idea.
Thanks so much!
more FRUSCIANTE :)
I'm on it!

Jonathan Espedal Thanks, he has a good channel!
Definitely want to start talking about stuff like that. Stay tuned!
Awesome lesson! Thanks
Happy to help!
best educator on RUclips hands down.
Man thanks so much Joel!
Sean, thanks man !!
+Dan Budai Happy to help Dan!
Sean, great lesson as always but can you do a lesson on enjoy the silence by depeshe mode? I know there is not so much guitar but harmonies seems crazy in that song so it would be really nice to explains us what going.on there. :-)
By the way, helped me a lot in understanding why good things sound good so, thanks
Great suggestion! Thanks for watching Antonije :)
Thank You Sean .. i can't thank you enough !
So happy to help!
I freaking love this guitar
Man I know I love that strat!
Really love these videos! They're helpful to learn bits of theory at a time while not being boring as fuck
Haha, thanks so much!
I never really liked PewDiePie until I found this channel.
That is incredibly random... But I can't really disagree in some strange way...
How come posting a comment about PewDiePie under his own video is considered random?
M'rekh the Deceiver I got what you meant lol it wasn't wasted, I love this guy teaching so clear, come to the uk and be my teacher :)
M'rekh the Deceiver cause hide fool ?
Haha, yeah I get that a lot. Trying to lay low and stay out of the news.
I was just practicing the rhythm part of this when you uploaded this, what a coincidence 🤔
Mind reader!
I learned this in a different position but this is way better thanks Sean
Happy to help! Really whatever way is comfortable as long as it sounds good :)
Great Work Sean! New appreciation here. I know people are down on DMB sometimes, but I heard that Satellite was initially a guitar e exercise. Is there some interesting 'theory' going on with those notes?
FIRST. And another great video - you the man!
Champion!
I like the explanation of leaving room. I playing around with fl studio, and sometimes it sounds really clogged up. Maybe I should start thinking in terms of dyads instead of triads.
Yeah that could help!
I always loved how John was able to write this song essentially around 3 chords but make them all sound completely unique and different to each other. By picking the F, C and Dmin an octave higher and then strumming them during the... Chorus? I guess you'd call it. Really an interesting way to look at building songs.
Thanks for watching, he really is the master of making simple things sound great.
Awesome video Sean! how would you go about playing this with a plectrum, as John does live? Its a style of playing he uses a lot, like on the song Murderers. Very nice guitar by the way, sweet colour. More Frusciante videos would be very much appreciated (maybe one on that insane Snow riff?). Thanks!
Thanks so much! Yeah I should do a video on how to hold a pick and still use your other free fingers.
Damn, that comment about about using the pieces of chords gave me one of those a-ha moments to use the pieces to allude to other notes and chords. I'm going to be playing with this idea for awhile now. Thank you
So great to hear!
This is such a great channel
Thanks so much!
Hey Sean, awesome look at this song. I've known how to play it for a while but never really thought about it like that. Also wondering if you have any tattoos?
Thanks for watching! No tattoos! (yet anyways ;)
awesome video! do you think about things like this when you make your own licks? or do you surprise your self and analyze it later?
I would say most of the time I do it by ear. I think the main thing I use music theory for it choosing chords.
excellent.
Thanks for watching!
You know your way around the fret board Sean.
Thanks so much!
Got to say, loving the deconstruction. I am in no way an aficionado of the fretboard, but love the provided knowledge! Recommending the Small Hours "riff", by Holocaust.
Thanks so much, I'l have to check it out.
Dude, guitar player magazine already jacked this new lesson and published it.
Haha, yeah they post a lot of my stuff, pretty quick to this one.
WITH THE BIRDS I'LL SHARE THIS LOOOOONELY VIEEEEEWWWWWW
Great video!
Thanks so much!

Thanks so much!
How do you find the key (and also mode) with what you showed?
I made a vid on that! ruclips.net/video/Pg-zZEdNg3c/видео.html
I learned a different way, but you are providing a light bulb moment for me. Do you have tabs on what you are teaching, here in this video? Frusciante is my favorite living musician, so I absorb everything I can, but I am still pretty new and certainly still suck whole lots of ass. Oh shoot, I forgot the most important part: THANK YOU!
What scale does Frusciante use for the solo?
Waou thank you
Great lesson, Learn your 10ths folks
Thanks for watching!

Hell yeah nice comfortable strat can't go wrong.
Ever thought about doing the horse with no name?
Good suggestion!
great vid sean...I have this one problem..my hands is too small.I can play pretty well sitting but while standing i cant play properly because my hands is too small..Is there anyway to overcome this problem?

Ahem...
*chants slowly*
Kash-Mir Kash-Mir Kash-Mir
Anyway, strange Led Zep cult behavior aside. What about The Black Keys' Lonely Boy? Or Little Black Submarine? Those were actually two of my ex's favorite songs that I've grown rather fond of in the months following our break up. Any Black Keys would be awesome tbh
I know I know! I'll get to it eventually!
I love men
Bears or twinks?
Haha, right on.
Thanks Sean. Never really liked RHCP at all really but I am slowly starting to hear the beauty of Frusciante's guitar style. I still can't listen though because Keidis screaming "WAMMA LAMMMA LA BAMA JAMA WAHAMMMAAAAA, BAMA" drives me fucking insane.
Anyway, thanks for the lesson.
BAMA JAMA
