John Frusciante breaking my hands in 1991

Started playing guitar around this time, and I'll never forget the first time my kid hands tried this Red Hot Chili Peppers song!

When the notes on the tab turn into the sound you know and love, that smile happens with everyone. I'll never forget learning this.

Ultimate guitar tabs back in the day were game changers

I would always feel so good showing my friends the 13 seconds I learned of a song. And they would be like nice!! Play the rest!! “ oh shoot I’m not that far yet” and never learned the rest before moving on. It’s a fun adult project to go learn the full songs of your childhood

I learned this song on tabs back in 2005 was a tough learning curve but made my fingers flexible enough to learn harder songs. Keep pushing the envelope guys.

as a new guitarist i must say this video is how it feels to learn anything haha

[ArleneBecky]

Your videos are like a ray of sunshine on my feed.

[gwarfiend]

there is nothing better than slowly learning a song out of your comfort zone and getting better each day

[sic]

That's me after 20 years of playing.

[phatmatt]

I feel you man. this song racked my fingers for years. I finally got it like 20 years later and it still made me just as happy. totally worth it

[thehermit]

The best feeling ever is saying hey I wish I could play like that then buying a guitar and after trying and trying and trying more you finally hear that song come from your guitar and your fingers nothing like it.

We've all had, and forgotten, about this moment in our lives. Thank you.

Bro nailed every new guitarist's reactions after getting the lick right for this song in the 90s! I remember this f*cking awesome feeling when I got it right! :D

[jobiazgarza]

that four fret hand span is the key for many great guitarists - it is how they bring in unexpected notes onto a normal chord and make it cool.

[noahide]

thats me as a teen in 91 for years. had the gnr and nirvana tab book but i couldnt find RHCP so i listen and stare hard at the MTV intro. lol after 30 years I gave up the second round as i couldn't position split in time so I just dance my finger around it. lol. I am not performing for anyone.

[snickers]

Totally inaccurate. That was way cleaner then your first attempt and you know it😂

[dpruittt]

This is 10000% what I did too when I did try to learn this in early 90s. Nailed it.

[stevereid]

Jesus, this brought back so many memories lol.. great video

[Hehehehehshehehehejej]

I never learned tabs. I learned the chords and have a really great sound for the music 10 minutes. I’ll learn just about any song. It’s crazy. Never understood you tab readers but more power to you.

[dairydog]

This is too funny😭 only so many songs can feel like your breaking your hands when you learn them☠️

[leeodocerrado]

This is the best video I saw in my life.
