Justin, you're an absolute legend. I'm on day three of learning this song, almost 2 years in to my guitar learning journey, and the way you break down songs in to digestable chunks and really slow down and explain what is going on is invaluable, especially for a song like this which can be incredibly daunting. I know maybe 3 finger style songs, so perhaps I'm jumping in at the deep end, but you're definitely guiding my through it with this video. Can't wait to get the pieces down and then put it together.

[Nightswimmer]

It tooks forever but at the end I’m finally able to play the whole song! Thanks!!!

[dotkom]

im just as addicted to this lesson like i was when i found youre eric clapton-layla unplugged lesson, its hard but then again the more awesome when you nail the entire song, my guitar teacher(in real life:P) says im progressing like hell for my second year of playing and in my opinion thats a compliment ment for you justin

[ermannoantonelli]

Hey Justin, we all know you're good. But this tune gives me chills :) Thumbs up

[rodrigollosa]

Wow, when I start to play that pattern in my head was: It doesn t sound like the song. But, now that I play it faster, it sounds great! The best tutorial

[thrashthrasherson]

I had to laugh when I saw an interview with Frusciante about this song. He was playing it after a day surfing, and Keidis said "what's that bro?", and Frusciante replied "oh, nothing!" Writes one of the coolest song intros in history, and simply replies "oh, nothing!" What a legend!!!

[DARKBassRsR]

oh john frusciante is such a talented guy

[harish]

Frusciante is really a genius. Really like his playing style. He makes it sounds so simple but yet so good. So soothing, calm and out of this world.
Thanks to you too, I am on your Beginner course stage 3 and just bought RUST-1 mobile version from your store.
Can you please make an easy beginner version of 'Desecration Smile'?
Can't wait to progress quickly and play RHCP songs.

Well, I been playing this song for about a year I think, the first part at least and now I am trying to finish learning the song. It's very hard but for two days of practice I think Im making progress I can now make the chords and the sequences to a slow pace. I hope I can get use to the pain the chords are causing me in a week or a llitle more.

[TheDanzilla]

Looks finger pickin' good! Cheers Justin.

[channelname]

I love your energy and the way you teach Justin! Thanks so much for this!

[MrPipaluce]

Justin, I must say yours are absolutely the best tutorials ever!Thanks a lot, Brilliant teacher

[samlatooni]

My first Stuck in 2nd part second chord ☹️☹️😔😔😖😖😖 can't bar with ring finger but the pain 😁😁👌🤟🤘.... Justin is da

[aquaticpears]

thank you soo much! I've played this song for years and loved it, but I never knew how to play it exactly right. More Frusciante tunes please, although I am grateful you've done so many already ! :)

[kelsier]

Omg the diminished chord trick just blows my mind
How have I never heard about it before ?

[kriso]

Well, wonders will never cease! I too have been playing this with a constant bass line. As you say, It's going to take some practice to unlearn that. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[buzzfinger]

Great lesson Justin. Your Folk Fingerstyle Course really helped me a lot with learning this song! I took the course few months ago and have been practicing since. I can remember how hard it was having the right fingers on the right strings, the fact that I had to look at my picking hands and then look back at my fretting hands, the constant unintentional muting, the chord-scale relations, the Travis picking, etc but it all paid off.

It's still challenging, but it's coming together nicely. I'll never stop practicing.

Thanks for the lessons. I hope you keep them coming. You're the best teacher!

[karoline.]

Man those fast chord changes are hard to play! But I will never give up!!
Thanks Justin : )

Edit: Nice electric guitar in the background. What kind of brand is that? Never seen a logo like this.
