The guitar work in this song is so....sentimental...sounding...It gives me a serious feeling of bitter nostalgia listening to it. Like remembering the good times, but with the harsh reality of how things are now, like remembering a loved one who's died or a special spot that signified your child that's been torn down or abandoned. Especially that ending. That single sad riff somehow manages to hold an entire kaleidoscope of bittersweet emotion....
Ninetails2000 I don’t know what it is. That last part of just guitar and bass in the last 30 seconds is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard
This song inspired me to play guitar. I bought a strat the same color as John's guitar in the music video, i bought the RHCP tab book and learned EVERYTHING and played it with my friends. It is still such a joy to play as is all the RHCP songs and this instrumental really shows off the great guitar.
One of the darkest times in my life and this song was released that time and reflected my life perfectly - it's a good way to remember how far one has come and what to be thankful for.
I think it could be because the instrumental sounds different than the normal song itself (obviously lol) so it gives you the feeling of listening to it for the first time
"Under The Bridge" Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angels Lonely as I am Together we cry I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie [2x] I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry [2x] I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away
I just sang this, by myself at home, no one around, no lyrics in front of me, waaay out of tune, but my timing was spot on. 😂 This has been my jam from the very first time I heard it on the radio, rolling down I-10 from Phoenix to Tucson to visit my parents one toasty day in March of '92.
Haven't played in a while and first thing I did is play this. It's like the muscle memory flows straight back into you on how to play it. I love playing this on the guitar!
Yesss my big sister is no longer on this🌍she put me on to this they played this video heavy it was called the box here in Miami I was like they're raw af no kizzy!I'm here reminiscing i miss her so much💔😥
A versão instrumental é sem sombra de dúvidas MUITO MAIS BELA e limpa, com todos os instrumentos falando de forma muito forte e profunda! Que guitarra funk maravilhosa!
o instrumental dessa música é tão foda, mais tão foda, principalmente a guitarra mágica do nosso amado Frusci, q nem precisa de letra, só a melodia já me carrega pra outra dimensão !
the guitar here so fucking smooth....sounds like it was played with only little effort....which it probably was. great tune.... always was, always will.
Sometimes I feel Like I don't have a partner Sometimes I feel Like my only friend Is the city I live in The city of angel Lonely as I am Together we cry I drive on her streets 'Cause she's my companion I walk through her hills 'Cause she knows who I am She sees my good deeds And she kisses me windy I never worry Now that is a lie [2x] I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day But take me to the place I love Take me all the way It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry [2x] I don't ever wanna feel Like I did that day But take me to the place I love Take me all the way Under the bridge downtown Is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away

Love this song. The actual song is soooo great. But I was kinda freestyle singing i guess you can say on this just now. Singing about my own struggle with my addiction to heroin and it felt pretty cool and therapeutic to sing about something that I am going thru and it was like the pain can be felt while ur singing about it. Never done anything like that really, but lately I have started singing when I'm by myself which is most of the time because I isolate myself alot. But yeah I have started singing because I have started to notice that I might have a voice for singing. I have never sung anything in front of anybody so I wouldn't know if anyone agrees that my voice is good when I sing but I have a feeling that it is and i enjoy it and the way i put feelings and pain into it and the lyrics like when I was singing to this gives me a good feeling like I am getting stuff off my chest and letting it go in a way.. This is one of my favorite songs and definitely my favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song so yeah I enjoyed singing over it. Thx.. this has made me realize that I think I might want to try and write and record a song with ne singing over some type of cool instrumental if not this one. Would be dope!
That's good you've found out you have an interest, and very well a talent, in singing. Don't let anything hold you back and you'll find yourself going places with it. Music is a great way to fight addictions and I fully support you doing that. I hope things go well for you.
@Dmorebread I just now read your comment while listening to this. I was on heroin to going on ten years clean now but I had the urge to reply to your comment and see if you were successful in getting off that shit and I guess praying that you didn’t get in to the fentanyl. I know hella random on a 4 yr old post. Hopefully you will get this message and tell me that you are clean that would be dope! If not and you did get caught up in the fety I guess that it is not to late to quit if you’re still alive!
Klinghoffer was pretty good, and I know Slovak was the original, but frusciante was and always will be the heart and soul. So glad he’s back. Personally nothing about Slovak really stood out to me, unless anyone had good tracks they can recommend
practice is all,i started playing 1 month ago and i allready play this song pretty well, i can play snow(hey yo) and lotta difilcult songs because o practice a lot
Czar Czar I know how to play the song, I practice it a lot, but at that time I posted there’s a difference relative to the rest of the song that I can’t seem to figure out
That's ONE guitar track on the verses and some incredible funk-infused guitar work. One of the best guitar parts in any song ever, IMO, without overdubs, distortion or overprocessing. Just amazing skill.
This is sick as fuck. Because of years of checking out this track from time to time i can't get off my head Anthony's crappy voice, especially when you are on green pills.
Does anyone how John frusciante did the hammer on pull offs in this song. I’m trying to replicate but it don’t sound the same is there some technique he used or something

It's indescribable how good the guitar is in this song. It's like looking at good art - I can keep listening ever single day!
+Nate Miller I agree! Actually I prefer this to the original to hear the guitar better.
Panos Siatras i love listening to this instrumental cause i can listen to it all the time and it puts me in a better mood
John Frusciante is an unusually talented musician 👨🎤
At the time there was Hilil Slovak on guitar.

Ninetails2000 I don’t know what it is. That last part of just guitar and bass in the last 30 seconds is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard
True
@George xander You are one of those mouth breathers just wasting our resources on this beautiful rock.
Smells like Hendrix spirit
💥
The bass in the last part is so good
Everything in every part is so good
This song inspired me to play guitar. I bought a strat the same color as John's guitar in the music video, i bought the RHCP tab book and learned EVERYTHING and played it with my friends. It is still such a joy to play as is all the RHCP songs and this instrumental really shows off the great guitar.
I did the same started 4 years ago and first song I learnt. Still can’t afford a stray or Jaguar though😪
Me too just learned this after a year of playing. Learned some other stuff before this
One of the darkest times in my life and this song was released that time and reflected my life perfectly - it's a good way to remember how far one has come and what to be thankful for.
The outro of this song is sooo good. Flea and John are perfect together.
In a way, when I listen to the instrumental I get the same giddy feeling I had when I first listened to the song.
So true man
Yeah fr when I first heard this song I just couldn't stop listening to it. It's so damn good
I think it could be because the instrumental sounds different than the normal song itself (obviously lol) so it gives you the feeling of listening to it for the first time
the last 30 seconds are amazing
last 4min 30 sec are amazing
"Under The Bridge"
Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie
[2x]
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry
[2x]
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away
+KRCHmusic thanks man!
KRCHmusic it's an instrumental...... We're all happy to see you are capable of copying and pasting though
I didnt hear any of those words in this song
GBC forever
Perfect.Thank you for the lyrics
Frusciante is always gonna be the one of the grooviest and unique guitarists ever in my eyes.
This is the only song that really calms me down. my ex played guitar and whenever I was stressed, I would listen to a recording of him playing it.
I played it for my ex too, wonder if she ever listens to it too 😕
Seems to me like you HAD a good man Sister Emama . Strength and Honor ! (13 June 2018 1800 hours)
THANKYOUUUUU!!!!! Totally appreciate you for posting this. That guitar is awesome and that bass is sick. I wanna eat this song
i eat it everyday 😔
Proof that J. Hendrix lives forever, one of the best creations made by Frusciante or as I like to call him Funky Hendrix
Really wish the outro was longer, such a beautiful thing..
i know right
lillapedi123 hell yeah!!
I just sang this, by myself at home, no one around, no lyrics in front of me, waaay out of tune, but my timing was spot on. 😂
This has been my jam from the very first time I heard it on the radio, rolling down I-10 from Phoenix to Tucson to visit my parents one toasty day in March of '92.
Under the bridge downtown... I gave my life away...
Haven't played in a while and first thing I did is play this. It's like the muscle memory flows straight back into you on how to play it. I love playing this on the guitar!
my fav part is still the beginning
yeah, the best part
Yesss my big sister is no longer on this🌍she put me on to this they played this video heavy it was called the box here in Miami I was like they're raw af no kizzy!I'm here reminiscing i miss her so much💔😥
@@lindaclark4848 really sorry for your loss, she must've been a good sis.
This is such a masterpiece of guitar music
A versão instrumental é sem sombra de dúvidas MUITO MAIS BELA e limpa, com todos os instrumentos falando de forma muito forte e profunda! Que guitarra funk maravilhosa!
Always loved the guitar in the verses.
I agree, this AMAZING instrumental is probably better than the song itself! Frusciante really outdid himself on this one, ONE OF A KIND GUITARIST!!!
1:55 is the best part
Flea's bass makes it even more harmonic.
Fucking si
The whole thing is the best part
Dude you're awesome for posting this video haha
This makes it so much easier for me to sing along haha
I just only hope that when in heaven we get to listen wonderful music like this !
o instrumental dessa música é tão foda, mais tão foda, principalmente a guitarra mágica do nosso amado Frusci, q nem precisa de letra, só a melodia já me carrega pra outra dimensão !
Those 34 seconds in the beginning will always be my favorite
the guitar here so fucking smooth....sounds like it was played with only little effort....which it probably was. great tune.... always was, always will.
Finally!!! I've been looking everywhere for this :D
Thank you for posting it
Great song btw
best guitarist
Omg...
The ending brings me back to 2006 when I was six years old driving home with my parents when they were still together 2:56
Good instrumental! Thanks for posting.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me.

Thats not even the right lyrics but funny af
That’s smash mouths song
John Frusciante got me into guitar. Thank you.
Same bro
The best feeling. Tears!
The gutair during the chorus is always one of my favorite parts of this song
how is it even possible for beauty like this to exist

Thank you very much for comfirming my view of raplovers
even though I suck at singing I still love these instrumentals because I can shriek in my house and not embarrass myself at karaoke!

Perfect!
I heard this song and it is now my favorite song to play on my guitar
i can finally enjoy a peppers song
Lol but this song wouldn't have happened without anthony
que hermosa canción , gracias por el karaoke!
I've only just realised the outro is structered very similar to what RHCP did later with the songs "Can't Stop and "Stadium Arcadium".
B.E.Autiful!
gonna sample the hell outta this
This guitar = state of art
i'm in heaven ... literally
AWESOME !
wonderful
awsome music could ride to the ends of the earth with this on my ipod
Didn't know the 4 chords could sound so good, didn't even realize it was them the first time I listened to the song!
This should have wayyyy more views and likes. It's the shit
ah this is great
2:56 fave part
Klinghoffer was pretty good, and I know Slovak was the original, but frusciante was and always will be the heart and soul. So glad he’s back. Personally nothing about Slovak really stood out to me, unless anyone had good tracks they can recommend
A música da minha vida
Awesome!
Very impressive guitar playing from John
John Frusciante come bck plz
Yes Please , John Frusciante , please come back , all will be forgiven ! (13 June 2018 1758 hours)
He's back bois
He's back
Hes back everyone he rejoined
"oh alright then, since you asked nicely" :-)
I was 4 years old when this came out. So weird. Wonderful song
James Phillips you in grade 7 now? lmao
This song was release in 1991 - 1992....
play it on 1.5 speed: it will turn the blues in just good vibes
that bass!!!!
this wow nice guitar starts the comes bass
each fingure is a different note . you put it together
Great song
Your awesome John F.!
I listen to this at x1.5 speed and it becomes a poppy jam :)
best song in the world
This is very Jimi-esque.
somebody once told me the world is
...........lol
love it
Damn, Frusciante really sings over this with his playing. I like this version better.
Now if only I could find a complete instrumental version of Hump de Bump...
The only version out there seems to be missing the drums.
That hook tho 🙌🏾
Holy shit 😳
wake me up when its starts GEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ
high pitched me voice"under the bridge down town!!!"..oh shit that's cut too
thanks heaps... im in a band and i need a instrumental to practice my singing on
Best
way better without the words
2:58
😎
Anthony
Singing this fasho
The overdrive feels way dirtier. I like it
I’m listening to this trying to play along with my guitar and I can’t seem to figure out the change in chord pattern at 2:07
practice is all,i started playing 1 month ago and i allready play this song pretty well, i can play snow(hey yo) and lotta difilcult songs because o practice a lot
Czar Czar I know how to play the song, I practice it a lot, but at that time I posted there’s a difference relative to the rest of the song that I can’t seem to figure out
@@solobro2469 i actually just hear it and try the best way
just play what sounds better
I think the children's voices are missing and belong on the instrumental ❤️🤷♂️
That's ONE guitar track on the verses and some incredible funk-infused guitar work. One of the best guitar parts in any song ever, IMO, without overdubs, distortion or overprocessing. Just amazing skill.
@RyanMasonable Those were the six emptiest seconds of my life
This is sick as fuck. Because of years of checking out this track from time to time i can't get off my head Anthony's crappy voice, especially when you are on green pills.
Muy buena cancion la verdad (good song the truth) ;)
K A R A O K E
unfortunately, yes ... or fortunately rather : ) heaven's a great place, I recommend it!!
Now you rich man dan
Does anyone how John frusciante did the hammer on pull offs in this song. I’m trying to replicate but it don’t sound the same is there some technique he used or something
There’s a video of him personally breaking it down if you search for it. I think it was for Guitar Player magazine.
John Frusciante untitled #4 listen to it right to the end. Let me know what you think about!! Thanks!!
