John Fruciante is one of the greatest guitar player....he playing is embued with emotions and context.
If all of humanity existance needs to be justified, we can do with the the last 28 sec of Scar Tissue...the solo is how a man transcended mortal realm and reached the metaphysical. It is sublime...never heard a more in context solo

[seancushnie]

Good Job on the 'Look On' solo, definitely one of his best in my opinion

[BroodingPeeps]

95% of the sound is playing a strat, and playing it well.

[amirsommer]

Big respect for including one Ataxia song

[gregscholes]

love the intro of scsr tissue at slane castle as the intro aha

[inda_kota]

Thank you so much for going over his solo stuff and Ataxia. GENIUS

[absolutevalue]

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you threw in the nod to that ST intro. I've been madly in love with that piece of music for so long. thank you!

[m_r__r_o_b_o_t]

Single coil pickups + Marshall voiced amp + playing technique. The pedals are just icing on the cake.

IM SO GLAD THAT YOU NOT ONLY PLAYED RHCP SONGS

[chubbypapaya]

do they have a John Frusciante Talent Simulation pedal that I can buy?

[dale]

Not a big RHCP fan but this is brilliant...I love buying pedals from reverb!

[mrlevinielsen]

So you guys managed to get a WH10 but not a DS-2?

[goldendreamer]

I totally agree with the throw away your television remark. I did that 6 years ago. I didn't realize what living was all about. Little bits of YouTube here and there, for a treat...

[evangatscher]

Thank you for including his solo stuff and ataxia
