👆 In today's episode of Sound Like, Rabea & Matt re-visit the incredible lead tones of John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers! With a vintage-influenced tone that allows him to swap seamlessly between funk and rock numbers on-the-fly, Frusciante has crafted himself an immediately recognisable sound. Can Rabea and Matt nail it though?

Props for Bea wearing the same shirt as in the original Sound Like John Frusciante video!

[RabeaMassaad]

So glad to see you're all a little more satisfied with this attempt!

We had great fun doing it, and the rig just sounded awesome!

Apologies if we don't play your favourite songs note for note! As always they're worked out by ear before we shoot!

Thank you all so much for watching and keep those requests coming!

We will get round to ALL of them!

Under the bridge is quite playable without a capo. I didnt even think to use a capo to play it tbh

[TiggyRainbow]

If you wanna truly sound like John Frusciante, then check out Dave Simpson

[theresejardinier]

Please do "Sound Like Dave Simpson by Busting the Bank".

[mattwhornby]

Yeahhh! This one was great to do! So much fun and pleased you guys like it. Seriously, watch that Slane Castle DVD, it's really great :-)

[Robin-at-Longcross-UK.]

What a difference - much better - well done.

[prestonmesick]

Thank you. It takes a lot to look back at what you have produced and not only acknowledge something is just not good, but to go ahead and do something about it. Can't be good at anything in this world without making mistakes and learning from them.

>spends 5k to sound exactly like John Frusciante
>thinks it is purist to play Under the Bridge in the correct key

[TenThumbsProductions]

C shape in CAGED as a barre is not fun, BUT, that is how John plays it.

You guys should of soooo got Dave Simpson in to guest on this one. He nails John with a Mexican Strat and a solid state Orange CR120. Could only dream of what he could do with no budget...

[swami]

And I think Tom Morello BY busting the bank would also be cool

[joesatch]

This BY busting the banks series is such an awesome idea. Really enjoy watching these videos, even though I'll never afford most of the gear! Keep it up!

[youknowww]

Who's watching after hearing he's back with the red hot chili peppers? 👀

[xGeneticzz]

The intro solo for Californication at Slane was absolutely amazing, My uncle was at that show, so pissed!

[lemonpi]

It's official.... i love you guys.... thanks for finally doing this video! Frusciante is a guitar god.... pure soul tones...

DS-2 = John

[mathieuj]

Just got out of an RHCP concert, I open up youtube, and I see this video. Great stuff guys!

Nailed it!! Nice work. I appreciate that you didn’t play everything note for note and learned this by ear. That’s music my friends. John Mayer himself said he doesn’t enjoy watching people play his songs exactly how he plays them. Use different string different parts of the fretboard different chord shapes. That’s music. Anyone complaining in contrary simply doesn’t get music. Well done lads 🙌

[maplethemann]

Who's watching now that John is back with the Chili Peppers??
