I like this guy cause instead of just showing you how to play a song he tries to teach you valuable skills which help you get better faster if you don't really know what you're doing. thanks for the videos!

Everything I know I learned as an older man from Justin. Whatever I do well I owe to him. Now an intermediate I am going back through the beginner course to shore up the details and identify my weak spots.
Probably more important is the kindness and decency that is part of everything he does. That is an overarching lesson being taught by a great practitioner in all of his work. He makes me want to be better, not just as a player, but as a human.
Thanks for everything, Justin. Peace.

When you put Justin on .5 speed and he sounds absolutely hammered haha love it. Thanks for the lesson.

[autocrow]

Tasty tune. I always remember what you said in another video. "Play it slow til you get it right or you will be playing fast crap." Too true. lol. Thanks for the lesson.

[WasaNic]

I quite liked you singing the solo to be honest, sounded pretty cool

[socialartsclub]

Thanks Justin for teaching not just the song and notes itself, but combining it with making us understand anything behind the progressions and so on. Hope your family is fine! Take care mate.

[OZHKAR]

This is the version I was looking for!
The bass part completed it all and also reminds me the way snow hey oh is played

[leopoldkirgo]

Hey Justin thanks so much, I got one year experience on acoustic, just bought today an electric guitar. You're the best teacher on YouTube. Cheers from Luxembourg

[soulsocietygaming]

Justin I have learned about 30 songs just from your videos. Thank you so much.

In the Am-Fmaj7 “pre chorus” part I’ve definitely heard John throw the add9 on the F in live shows.

I love that sound!

[devynmalka]

I love RHCP's and I really wanted to learn this song. My fingers are a little too short to be able to stretch across three frets, so it took a bit of practice but I got it now! Thank you this video! Even if you posted it 4 years ago!

[Derelictos]

You always were the best. Glad to have found you again my friend.

Excellent teaching Justin. In passing you mentioned the key to John's entire funk style. The RHYTHM hand. You hear John, Flea and Chad sync incredibly well in the live shows. I actually thought I knew this song but has been playing it wrong forever. I would do a straight arpeggio for the prechorus and not skipping the string. Thanks for your lessons, always a pleasure to watch.

Just picked up a guitar for the first time in years - haven't stopped watching your videos! Plying in a charity gig in July so Gotta get improving - great channel! Thanks dude!

[Dmansnazz]

My mission in life is to learn every song by RHCP on guitar. Fuckin love em.

[riccardomaina]

Great lesson, Justin.
I'm going to play this song with some friends, and your tutorial let me save a lot of listening job to find the right sounds and groove.
Thank you very much!!

[PP-oycj]

Hey Justin!
Thank you very much for this lesson. I just played a Californication cover with my small band in Cologne Germany. It was our first live gig and was a hell lot of fun.
Without your video it wouldn‘t have been that good.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
