The thing I love about this channel is that you play it so accurate to the record. Many other guitar teachers on this app teach you the wrong way or different chords
Try strumming a little softer with smaller up and downs so you can keep your palm on the bridge. You'll be using much more wrist than forearm. Think it will help. Good luck!

I’ve been practicing this for a couple of weeks and the breakthrough on the muting for me was raising the index finger of the A string when you fret the G. If the A string is still droning it kills the clean feel. I also found playing it louder helps to overcome the sound of the clicking from the muted strings. I found using the pinky wasn’t easy but definitely helps with the muting because the middle finger can lay across the higher strings, but isn’t 100% needed. Less is more in terms of ringing notes and repetition is key to getting it down pat. 🎸🌶
Actually, if you listen closely to what he is saying in the video, he tells you everything that you found out on your own except the playing loud part. Playing loud striking all the strings with confidence does help progress.
Just a tip for everyone having trouble with the muting, I recommend raising the action(string height) high action makes muting much easier. Frusciante himself uses high action.
Your channel has been an absolute godsend. I don't know why it's taken me so long to find but this was the most in depth and accurate tutorial I've found for this song, had a scroll through your channel and there's so much I can't wait to learn from you. Cheers!
Ive learned so much acoustically from you but now you're doing the chili peppers? wow love it! And that thumb trick to bar the chords was inspired by Hendrix. Anyone who really love John Fruscante should be also listening to jimi hendrix.
8:29 the absolute single most crucial part of the song and also the hardest. The best way to practice is to just repeat playing the open string then muting it then playing then muting. Crucial. All smooth sailing after this
This single note with muted rhythm technique is (or at least used to be) called skank. The best description and tutorial I have seen to help build up rhe skill level is in part 2 of Ross Bolton's funk rhythm guitar video from the 90's. It's on youtube.
I think I must be one of the few people who actually found it easier to play the verses with my thumb. It wasn’t easy at first but after while it actually became more natural to me than to use my main fingers. Either way it’s a fun song to play.
As soon as you explained the muting i went from me playing it to john playing it ... it was never hard but the approach you've shown me makes it something very special! dude thank you so much... great lesson!
I always tried to play this song, watching many videos, but thank you for your video I learned how to play... Then you teaches very well all your songs... THANK YOU
@@TheGotaru keep practicing! It's a good technique to learn because we can use in many of Jimi Hendrix songs and other "influenced" by him such as John :)
The song marks my beginning of starting John Mayer songs ... those mutes and strums .. ahh so juicy ... thanks David .. really needed this one from you
Bruh Ksns oh i forgot to add jimi Hendrix to the list.... Haha it’s really fun too see when people just judge without any bases... It’s the muting technique that used by Hendrix and John..... kind of their uniqueness.... that I was talking about... also the g chord and all other that he played... just like John Mayer and Hendrix plays... So this song is kind of beginners stuffs to get into that territory....
Your amazing, I've been playing that song for a long time now and I've been doing it wrong obviously, lol. I can hear the difference, during the chorus and pre chorus I've done it differently and I can see why it doesnt sound exact, plus I use a Ibanez with a flat radius which gives me a challenge
Nice tutorial bro keep it up! Love from Colombia. Btw could you do "When she loved me" from Toy Story? There's literally not a single tutorial on RUclips and it's such a beautiful song.
I’m trying to learn this now and I couldn’t do the muting how he was doing it so I changed it a little to basically use my pointer finger to mute all the 6th fret strings and then just play the rest of the notes like normal with the other 3 fingers. The only weird part is the open 4th string bar. Hope this can help someone!
GuitarZero2Hero I started learning guitar during this pandemic and your tutorials have been so helpful. The way you teach and format the videos with all the tabs and chord shapes is so easy to follow, thanks for all the help!
I would say more rhcp videos, but ive already learned their popular songs elsewhere😢 your top 7 rhcp riffs video is what got me into guitar. Thank you for your videos and keep up the great work!
![Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop [Official Music Video]](/img/1.gif)
Easy! Muting strings is my specialty anyways since I do all the damn time trying to learn barre chords.
One of my favorite guitar parts ever, and you nailed it. I have no idea how something can sound so dirty yet clean at the same time!
Thank you! And I agree, the dynamics of this riff are incredible!
SRV was amazing at that too.
The thing I love about this channel is that you play it so accurate to the record. Many other guitar teachers on this app teach you the wrong way or different chords
I love this song but I'm struggling with the muting main riff so much :(
yea, its hard
@@MrDeanDog91 same here!
Try strumming a little softer with smaller up and downs so you can keep your palm on the bridge. You'll be using much more wrist than forearm. Think it will help. Good luck!
Keep practicing, once you know the Nish, you'll have fun playing...
welcome in the real guitarist world :)
Your Strat is so beautiful
thanks!
We have the same
GuitarZero2Hero do you teach a lot of electric guitar somewhere or most;y acoustic? Thanks.

In read that as shirt
Why is the solo 100x easier than the main riff 😆
It's only harder because of muting strings, if you don't mind sounding exactly like the song the main riff is easier
I am a beginner and I don't know how I just learned to play can't stop (the correct way) pls believe me I am a beginner
@@exentybyte4499 full speed play along with the song?
@@kittatro yes
@hughg.rection8501 most of us here aren't 20 years into playing guitar though
You're one of the best guitar teachers on RUclips. Thank you so much for your lessons. ☺️
thanks for your support!
One of my favorite guitar riffs from the peppers! So tasty. Love it.
tasty is an understatement! Haha thanks
this deserves like 30x more views, super clean tutorial
I appreciate that James!
Finally a man who teaches the muting. God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mega props for teaching this song the "right" way.
This is so far the best RUclips tutorial for this song that I've found. Love the structure of your video🙏
Glad it was helpful!

hell yeah, you sound is just like John Frusciante original sound, cool!!!
Thank you :)
Great video! Frusciante is a genius, so cool how he's rejoining the Chili Peppers.
Yes! Another rhcp lesson! Please do more rhcp in the future, this is amazing!!!
Just a tip for everyone having trouble with the muting, I recommend raising the action(string height) high action makes muting much easier. Frusciante himself uses high action.
He uses high action everytime or only on this riff ?
@@arbazann for all the songs he uses the same, would be to much of a pain to change it everytime
Yes and high action is easier for bending in my opinion because when your action is low the strings goes under your finger and it sounds awful
@@simpatiko6392 what? High action makes my fingers go under the strings especially when doing bends
@@violethill4454 your finger gesture is probably wrong
You're by far the best teacher on this platform
It's hard but fun to learn, thanks dave
By far the best tutorial on RUclips to understand the intricate mutes in this riff and doing it right! Masterpiece.

Wow, one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Awesome song. Very clear and understandable explanations and demonstration.

Still, I watched though, that solo is just OP
Incredible lesson format! Other RUclips guitar teachers should take note 👌
Thanks for the muting explanation... So clear. Was looking for it everywhere.
Excellent tutorial, as usual. 🙂
Man, I’ve comment this comment on one of your acoustic guitars before but your guitars are beautiful
