@@thedavesimpson woow man ... i have no words .. you just blow my mind! Wonderful !!! P.s. where did you got this shirt I'm spending my lifespan searching for it lol really need to know ! And wonderful again !
This brought tears to my eyes. You play with immense passion and soul, and for 8 minutes and 43 seconds nothing in my life existed outside of your playing. John Frusciante may be your idol, but you sir are MY idol.
Dave, this is magnificent. You’ve explained you can’t afford to go to the current RHCP tour, but they should be inviting you as a guest player. To see you playing a version of this with JF would be just amazing. It’s their loss if they chose not to have you on! Imagine us mere mortals playing with this intensity in our spare bedrooms!😂
@@DanielVillamor67Jzz don’t forget they’re all getting quite old now, John’s 51 and the rest are pushing 60. Regardless of if he stays or fucks off again, the band doesn’t have a whole lot of time left
That reminded me a lot of The Empyrean, actually. The dynamics in your playing are, to me, really reminiscent of Before The Beginning, his Maggot Brain homage.
Sharp observation man. I listened to that album long time ago, before The Empyrean and never realized that. I'm listening to the song now and John's 'Before The Beginning' it's totally a hommage to Funkadelic's song. Thanks for the data!
There are players who play with emotion, but it's always under a mask of performance, or of some artifice or attitude. And they can be lovely. But the real artist shows their real face. They are pure emotion. I hope people realize how special it is to see this.
I got my first electric guitar (squire ) last week and i have been waiting for my amplifier for past 7 days and today it finally came . Funny enough this is johns birthday and i got to play my first electric guitar on his birthday. Its kinda silly but Feels good :)
Silly? It's an awesome coincidence! I got the chills remembering that kind of feeling, I spent my teenage years in my room, playing John's stuff with my Squier and they were some of the happiest hours of my life... As they already told you, enjoy the journey 'cause it's amazing!
Yeeees! and, in fact, this is a complex question, because, for John (as well as for me), Imagination is a universal concept, which crosses us all human beings, therefore all creation has a common kinship, in such a way way that our lives also have ... and it seems to be through art that we become aware of it ...
I watch this every once in a while and every time I do I can't believe how good this performance is, it gives me goosebumps. This shows how talented you are Dave.
I see alot of good players on the internet, technich and knowing all the notes and where to find them but they miss the soul, they miss the creativity and thats why I think Dave is so inspiring,it has it all and on top of that is such a nice and onest person. Love you Dave. Hope to meet you one day.
Love the "Unreachable"/"Central" solo vibes going on throughout the whole thing on top of the "Bedroom lick" chords, terrific job!! Arrgh wish I could play like this...
Playing in someone else's style is one thing but making it your own so that creativity and feeling comes out of it is amazing! Love and respect Dave 🙏 Thanks!
I just had to come back to this. John is one of, if not my favourite guitarist. Your playing really does him justice. The raw emotion is amazing. I get the same vibes from this as from the Slane Castle gig. I used to listen to it a lot back when I did drugs. I’m sober nowadays but I still feel the way the music made me feel back then. I hope you’re doing well Dave!
I’ve never been impressed by guys that can play in key. Meaning, they know scales, they know notes, they can jam. And they know they can. They’re almost indifferent to the guitar, or act like it’s been conquered. They don’t love it. You can tell a huge difference when someone plays with feeling and soul and passion. They may not even be as knowledgeable or technically proficient. But they show their voice. It’s not boring.
Dave lit the candles on John's birthday cake. Then he proceeded to blow the cake, table and chairs right out of the house!! Holy Hell!! AWESOME playing Dave!! 👍😂
honestly if Dave was in a big band this would have been filmed live 1000x times and uploaded to youtube titled "best solo ever" or something like that. its that good
I don't think there's anyone else that's more at one with their instrument, and certainly none that give it everything like Dave, just ethereal and powerful on every level, cheers Mr Simpson
Holy fucking shit Dave. I’m a little late but thank you so much for this. John will forever inspire the lot of us but you have just made tears come out of my eyes. Absolutely the best thing I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
I really hope John sees this, and the rest of your videos too! Maybe he could take some inspiration from them for the new Chilis album ey? Haha! It's a pleasure to follow you on your journey, Dave! Oh and excellent playing... as always!!!
jeeeeeesus christ mate... You left me totally speachless. That must be one of the most awesome performance I've ever seen in youtube. An explosion of all kind of emotions at once! You got yourself a new fan 👏👏👏👏👏
I was waiting for this today. Dave paying tribute in such a tremendous manner in this awesome shirt. Its a great day. John Frusciante is a hero for a lot of people. God bless John.
Good to see my hero wishing his hero a Happy Birthday. I didn't know I was the same age as John, inspiring to know RHCP is putting out a new album with him. I've found that when a person survives and realizes that they're in it for the long haul, they tend to take better care and do things with a bit more focused intensity
How the hell does somebody so down to Earth and humble be this good. Thanks Dave, I don't know about John Frusciante, but you sure as hell made my day. Thanks buddy.
That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen and heard honestly.... Don't know who gave this video a thumbs down but they need to reevaluate what they're thought process was...
I listened to that, then went and smoked a joint and came back and listened again🤯. I’m in my basement jamming to that all night 🎸, mind altering inspirational Dave, thanks!
Dave you have officially blown my mind more times than any other thing on the internet. The drop at 3:25 was unreal man. This honestly hits straight to my soul. Thanks mate, outstanding! :D
one of my best friends showed me this last year, at the time i was playing guitar for about 1/5 year. at the time i though "that's so frusciante" but now, after rewatching this a billion times i can proudly say "that's so dave simpson". thank you for inspiring and giving me motives to get better at guitar :)
There’s not a word that describes how awesome and insanely talented you are Dave! I love all the little references you did like the slane castle intro, Coachella intro and I think I heard a little bit of Dani California in there too! If you’re ever in the South West of England performing then I would love to come and see you play live!
Peero que locura es eesta!?? Nunca pensé que podría escuchar a alguien improvisando que sonara exactamente como lo haría Frusciante. Estás a otro nivel. No se dónde andabas cuando decidieron meter Josh al irse John, pero desde luego no donde debías. Esto es de lo mejor que escuchado en toda mi vida. Tranquilamente sería mi improvisación de John favorita si la hubiese hecho El. Espectacular.
You, sir, truly amaze me with your guitar playing and your ability to capture the essence of what you want to pass out with the guitar. Congratulations.
After that performance I’m waiting for the “Happy Birthday Dave Simpson” video from John
I wish. :)
@@thedavesimpson when's your birthday Dave? I'll try to give tribute shout-out to you

He was so obsessed with his hero John Frusciante that he actually became him
@@bobmaa5252 have fun being you, i hope it gets better
This brought tears to my eyes. You play with immense passion and soul, and for 8 minutes and 43 seconds nothing in my life existed outside of your playing. John Frusciante may be your idol, but you sir are MY idol.
Now there are two of us...
Dave, this is magnificent. You’ve explained you can’t afford to go to the current RHCP tour, but they should be inviting you as a guest player. To see you playing a version of this with JF would be just amazing. It’s their loss if they chose not to have you on!

@THE GREAT CORNHOLIO Dave Simpson is God
post the cashapp or whatevs i got $5 towards your ticket! great stuff
If John leaves again, RHCP needs to hire you
Omg... Yesss... That would be awesomeee
100% agree, noone cam replace John for me, but this guy just deserves to be in that spot
Don't even joke about that 😀 That's very possible !
You mean *when* John leaves RHCP again...
@@DanielVillamor67Jzz don’t forget they’re all getting quite old now, John’s 51 and the rest are pushing 60. Regardless of if he stays or fucks off again, the band doesn’t have a whole lot of time left
Awesome, the shirt adds at least 20% to the tone!
So what your saying is if I buy and wear 5 shirts I can sound like Dave ? Shut up and take my money
Slane castle 🤘🤘
I immediately notice the shirt
TRUE!!!!!
Fact.
5:10 AIEEEEEE IT'S THE SLANE CASTLE INTRO! Best intro of all time! Dave, you rock! You deserve for all your musical dreams to come true.
That reminded me a lot of The Empyrean, actually. The dynamics in your playing are, to me, really reminiscent of Before The Beginning, his Maggot Brain homage.
Exactly what I thought thanks man
Yes! There's a few licks that sound like the start of the Unreachable solo
Sharp observation man. I listened to that album long time ago, before The Empyrean and never realized that. I'm listening to the song now and John's 'Before The Beginning' it's totally a hommage to Funkadelic's song. Thanks for the data!
@@luigi_garcia Yeah it really is!
This may be one of the greatest performances in rock history
JH watchtower
In a perfect universe, he'd have posted himself playing for YOUR birthday. Awsome, by the way.
its probably happening in a parallel universe

Well said friend
and the realest actually wear a plastic mask and never take it off.
@@hallio111 No offense to the legend, but Buckethead can't do this.
Hell yeah. No mask here. Dave is the real deal. 🤩
@@DonLambJr buckethead isn’t as skilled ?!?!?
I would honestly pay to be your neighbor
7:24 happy birthday tom morello
I demand a jam with frusciante and simpson!
that would be like God & Jesus Christ themselves having a jam session
Wow...This was wild. Pure emotion. I'm blown away.
The creativity is amazing. It's so frusciante but obviously your own style as well, amazing
Your soul has to be connected to John Frusciante, like Harry potter and Voldemort
It sounds and feels that way to me too!
I hope you don't mean that one has to kill the other...
I almost cried when you played the slane castle intro in the middle of the jam
Shhhh don't let the copyright claimers find out!! Lol
Me too
5:11
He also played the most amazing rhcp intro jam lick at 7:23 :D
This moved me to tears. What an incredible performance. God bless you Sir.
I just love how the guitar can take over a man's soul. Rock on
That’s what being free looks and sounds like. Love your music.
Hmm… ‚seek not a life of imitation‘
I got my first electric guitar (squire ) last week and i have been waiting for my amplifier for past 7 days and today it finally came . Funny enough this is johns birthday and i got to play my first electric guitar on his birthday. Its kinda silly but Feels good :)
Nice one, enjoy the new gear
Enjoy the journey. Mine has been 50 years and still loving it 👍👍👀🤘🏼🎸
My daughter's 2nd sunburst squire fender arrived March 5th as well! ❤️🔥🌶️😊
I just got my squire last month! Not my first electric but my best one so far!! Good luck keep playing man!!
Silly? It's an awesome coincidence! I got the chills remembering that kind of feeling, I spent my teenage years in my room, playing John's stuff with my Squier and they were some of the happiest hours of my life... As they already told you, enjoy the journey 'cause it's amazing!
My sunburst strat is looking at me like she’s seen the creator himself.
Slayed it man... well done!
THIS is what you call passion, this was mesmerising to watch.
This was randomly recommended by the youtube gods. so happy it was
YT AI knows Your soul better than anyone else
i really hope John Frusciante sees this one day.
he'd be so proud
John sees it all
Frusciante is god, he can see everything
I don’t think John will see it because
Just because.
I dont think so... John would wanted him to just be himself, and not a mere imitation
Yeeees! and, in fact, this is a complex question, because, for John (as well as for me), Imagination is a universal concept, which crosses us all human beings, therefore all creation has a common kinship, in such a way way that our lives also have ... and it seems to be through art that we become aware of it ...
5:11 got that slane castle reference
I watch this every once in a while and every time I do I can't believe how good this performance is, it gives me goosebumps. This shows how talented you are Dave.
I wish tomorrow is also John's birthday too.
I see alot of good players on the internet, technich and knowing all the notes and where to find them but they miss the soul, they miss the creativity and thats why I think Dave is so inspiring,it has it all and on top of that is such a nice and onest person. Love you Dave. Hope to meet you one day.
He learned from the best
This is, bar none, the greatest video that has ever been uploaded to RUclips.
Man! You are 100 light years before JF! You have SOUL!!!
Love the "Unreachable"/"Central" solo vibes going on throughout the whole thing on top of the "Bedroom lick" chords, terrific job!! Arrgh wish I could play like this...
Totally, Loving The Empyreum sounds
Who could dislike this beautiful playing!?
Someone who is projecting their own feelings of inadequacy...
We are all connected by Frusciante’s sound and Dave really translates what we all hear and feel. Great Job!
Why do I come back to watch this masterpiece every month😫😫🔥🔥🔥
Nobody quite does it like Mr. Simpson
Playing in someone else's style is one thing but making it your own so that creativity and feeling comes out of it is amazing! Love and respect Dave 🙏 Thanks!
That clean tone gonna bring wold peace
I just had to come back to this. John is one of, if not my favourite guitarist. Your playing really does him justice. The raw emotion is amazing.

This comment could word for word be my own! Music (especially like this) is something quite special!
This guitar playing takes you to another place, somewhere in between heavens...
I’ve never been impressed by guys that can play in key. Meaning, they know scales, they know notes, they can jam. And they know they can. They’re almost indifferent to the guitar, or act like it’s been conquered. They don’t love it. You can tell a huge difference when someone plays with feeling and soul and passion. They may not even be as knowledgeable or technically proficient. But they show their voice. It’s not boring.
Mannn i wish this was on spotify, I keep coming back every day. Your one of the greatest Dave. Much love❤️🤙
I just cant stop listenning to this. Its a master Piece Dave. John would be proud of you. Very much
So many hidden gems here. I think I detected some "brown shirt/brown couch lesson" riffs too! haha If you know, you know.
we know, we know ;)
❤️
How that thing stayed in tune is beyond me 😂 amazing playing as always Dave 🔥
If you play guitar, you know where his mind is during this. What an incredible journey he’s on here. Well played
Dave lit the candles on John's birthday cake. Then he proceeded to blow the cake, table and chairs right out of the house!! Holy Hell!! AWESOME playing Dave!! 👍😂
Love the homage to all his live performances.
Your guitar playing instantly calms and heals from any stress! Thank you very much! With love from Siberia!
It is actually my birthday today and just so happen I come across your video for first time. Tears in my eyes, son. Thank you.
Happy birthday. :)
This is freaking passion, everytime I see Dave playing i see and feel his passion . Awesome.
3:56 goosebumps
Funny part : I didn't resist to click and hear that and immediately it got me ! Fantastic.
Very nice performance man, John would be proud, really.
honestly if Dave was in a big band this would have been filmed live 1000x times and uploaded to youtube titled "best solo ever" or something like that. its that good

Holy fucking shit Dave. I’m a little late but thank you so much for this. John will forever inspire the lot of us but you have just made tears come out of my eyes. Absolutely the best thing I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
Loved the chorzow and sland Castle runs! Frusciante would approve! 👌🤙🏻
every now and then i come back to this video, it heals my soul, thank you Dave
Wauw Dave! Insane, your playing opens a portal to a dimension of freedom! Closed my eyes and it took me somewhere else. Thanks man
After hearing you play, John rejoined the Rhcp before you did
As a young guitarist, I can only hope to one day play as beautifully as this. Rock on and happy birthday John!
epic video.i am sure after 10 years i will still be sharked by this video
Holy shit that slane castle intro came out of nowhere, this was a pure spiritual experience
It was amazing!!
The level of soul is just over 9000...
I really hope John sees this, and the rest of your videos too! Maybe he could take some inspiration from them for the new Chilis album ey? Haha! It's a pleasure to follow you on your journey, Dave! Oh and excellent playing... as always!!!

Happy Birthday John
Good God, so much emotion. Its wild how something without words can speak so loudly.
i always came back to this video once in a while
yeah me too
Nothing like to enthusiasm and smoking guitar for a Happy B'Day
I was waiting for this today. Dave paying tribute in such a tremendous manner in this awesome shirt. Its a great day.
John Frusciante is a hero for a lot of people. God bless John.
I've not seen a guitarist I've never heard of play this well in years. Positive Mental Octopus 🐙
Pure guitar genius.. RESPECT!
you got it man. I'm sure John is proud of you
Good to see my hero wishing his hero a Happy Birthday. I didn't know I was the same age as John, inspiring to know RHCP is putting out a new album with him.
