We’re getting the solo Ho ho!
oh man
all right guys jack here jbf music and guitar lessons. so that's actually how
john frusciante played the intro a lot of people think it's a bit more complicated
because flea does he twiddly bits so a lot of people play a bit more like this
so I imagine much like combining the bass and guitar parts onto one instrument is gonna do
that but then take it to the next level because that's just what he does. I’ve done quite a few
videos analyzing and reacting to this guy's amazing playing before which I’ll link to
with the “I” up there but as usual I’ve gone on for too long so let's just get to
adding the extra trills already and little harmonies too
really nice drone going on really moody.
What?!?! Oh! Pfft!
see this I could just about break down in real time the verse
switching to the strumming really great dynamic shift.
Really moody vibe
arpeggiating the chords to give it more melody and rhythm simultaneously
using these open chords
for the chorus to bring it up a little dynamic dip down back into the riff
really beautiful dissonance being mixed in.
really hitting this stride with the virus here
it's sounds like there's about five guitars playing
bringing that snare in this thumbnail in that string.
Even stuff like here that “bing” in quite a wide pull off. I’ll pause that in fact, so even things
like this little; uh little I see a little stretch it's quite a big stretch; as soon as he's gone
he might be in a different tuning actually let's check it out
so while I was uh wrong he's not really stretching
a third for the pull-off he's just pulling off a tone it's still,
still quite a nasty stretch to hold down and make sure you're still getting
all the notes in cleanly which he is
He’s got a really good sense of harmony this is an extra melody, lovely open cards
sorry there's an extra melody- a line like a harmonies. Harmonics lovely
oh cool let's get this solo
h oho! Oh man
lovely, lovely chord voicings
it makes you appreciate how much of a beautiful composition it is
when it's played with this much passion
attention to detail
tweaking the harmony
to really hone in
there's a tiny little micro smile at the end when he nails that, ahhh wonderful! All right
I’m gonna put my hands up and just admit most of that is far beyond my finger style capabilities
there's one cool thing he did at the very end here did a harmonic; an artificial harmonic; I
have covered these before I’ll link to that I with the “i” there he did it beyond the fretboard okay?
So we'll play that clip and I’ll break it down
before I forget if you are enjoying these videos I put out please do consider subscribing leaving

fantastic for the channel anyway the very, very end here the final note he plays right
right here. So what he's doing on the a string there is he's finding an artificial harmonic a
harmonic beyond the fretboard so the harmonics exist all over if I just pick the string quickly
hear all these weird spacing noises?
They are harmonics and they don't stop at the fretboard I keep going
right this again is a technique I have covered before I will link to the tutorial on them with
the “I” up there but what he's doing here rather using his left hand as he's using
his right hand exclusively he's using a finger to catch the harmonic and his thumb to pick it
so that was pure luck that I got that one I just guessed you
they become a bit more intuitive the more you do them I assume he's finding an a so let's,
let's break it down if we want an a we can play the opening
twelfth frets on a as well so we'll try and think
of where an a might occur here and if you try to just pick notes here
there is a pitch but it's very difficult to find it so one trick is to use a slide
or a bottle so slides just this is just a basically a metal cylinder
you can use a glass bottle just to say play this note with this a
so we're looking for that pitch beyond the fretboard
so there's one about there right which means we could get a harmonic there.
There will be one higher up as well so let's try and find that I’m going to do the same thing
I’m going to hum that tone and I’m going to try and find it with the slide
there it is
so if I rest my finger roughly above where we find that
so you want to get your first finger rest on top
of the string where the harmonic is and then just pluck the string
with your thumb so I’m going to go back for this one because this will be a bit easier to get
okay so again I just tried to find an a up here finger on the string pluck it with your thumb
that video will have more detailed breakdown of how to get these sorts of harmonics if you want
