Thread 126673630

John Frusciante is a top 3 guitarist of all time and it's not even close. Sorry Hillel Slovak, but you died for a good cause.

>>126673630 (OP)
give me your full top 3 so i can better evaluate your taste/knoweldge.

>>126673644
Froosh
Cantrell
Wayne

>>126673689
Lil Wayne?

>>126673644
1. John Frusciante
2. Niandra LaDes
3. Froosh
>>126673689
Wrong.

>>126673697
Yes.

>>126673698
Impostor.

>>126673630 (OP)

He's definitely top 3 guitarist in RHCP

frooshfag is back oh no

>>126673630 (OP)
I can't take RHCP seriously. Maybe it's because of Kiedis, but they truly feel like less than the sum of their parts.

>>126673712
>Impostor.
No I made this thread. Cantrell is not on Frusciante's level and Lil Wayne cannot play at all.
>>126673720
Yes he is #1 in RHCP.
>>126673727
Yes after a long hiatus I have returned.

>>126673736
You should take RHCP seriously when Frusciante's guitar solos begin. The band is great because of John. His guitar parts sound like no other.

>>126673738
No you didn't liar. It's my thread.

>>126673630 (OP)
Hendrix but worse. And Hendrix isn't even that good

>>126673752
It's not. Anyone can put OP as their name.
You're a liar and your top 3 list sucked.

>>126673766
Frusciante is better than Hendrix, much better and Hendrix himself was really good.

>>126673644
Johnny Marr
Jeff Buckley
J Mascis

Fagsciante doesn't even crack the top 15

>>126673842
I love Frusciante and Mascis a lot I think Frusciante is pretty close to J.
Frusciante absolutely does crack top 15 -- there's not really a whole lot of players better than him.

>>126673630 (OP)
>keeps iconic Strat riffs alive in the 2ks
Pretty good man.
Better than Hendrix? There would be no John without Jimi. Don't be silly.

>>126673917
I'm serious. Frusciante is a much better guitarist than Hendrix.
Frusciante is way more versatile and creative than Hendrix ever was.

>>126673630 (OP)
>John Frusciante is a top 3 guitarist of all time
...No.

Segovia
Tarrega
Sor

>>126674006
Frusciante is better than all of them.

>>126674215
Rockslop is for teenagers. It's not real music.

>Top 3 guitarists
Frusciante
Clapton
John Fahey

>>126673630 (OP)
How does he have sleeves but his chest is exposed

>>126674346
Duh. Being a teenager is cool. I miss it. Who the fuck wants to be grandpa.

>>126674346
Frusciante doesn't just make rock. His solo material is in a league of its own.
>>126674356
Frusciante is definitely #1 out of all those guys.
>>126674362
Custom shirt probably.

>>126673842
>Johnny Marr
>Jeff Buckley
>J Mascis

>>126674401
All three are very talented like Frusciante they aren't hacks at all.
It's just that Frusciante is literally the greatest guitarist of all time.

omar rodriquez lopez
jimi hendrix
the beatles

I appreciate Frusciante-fag's determination. We should all have some musician we stand our ground this fiercely with.

>>126674520
Frusciante outshines Omar on his own songs.
Frusciante took what Hendrix did and did it x100 better, and he's more creative and versatile in his influences.
The Beatles? LOL I won't even bother with this. Those guys couldn't even tie Frusciante's shoelaces.

>>126673630 (OP)
Not even in the top 100. 'fraid so.

>>126674438
Johnny Marr has zero bad songs with The Smiths. RHCP have literally never had a good song. Not even one. They're the white equivalent of not music. I think we all know who the superior guitarist is.

>>126674611
No he's definitely in the top 100. Way at the top.
>>126674636
RHCP does have good songs. 90% of songs on BSSM, By the Way, and Stadium Arcadium are great. Then their earlier material without Frusciante is decent but not as good as the albums with him. Knock Me Down is a good song too.

>>126674661
No

>>126673630 (OP)
Literally the worst guitar player I've ever heard.

>>126674679
Yes.
>>126675143
Then he must've been the only guitar player you've ever heard, therefore making him both the best and the worst.

>>126675256
He's an overrated shitter in an even shittier band. Hate to break it to you.

>>126675266
He's actually pretty underrated.

>>126674585
omars at the drive in albums especially the last two are spectacular
the beatles michelle song is top of the line
you'd have to start talking about metal musicians, but metal musicians dont' even have good song writing half the time,

>>126675143
Try to learn Snow. You'll appreciate it more.

>>126673630 (OP)
Who?

>>126675995
the least famous member of RHCP

I met Frusciante a few months ago at Zebulon in Silverlake. He is really small and shy. He was there with two of the chicks from Warpaint. Kind of blew my mind b/c he is such a guitar hero of mine.

>>126673630 (OP)
>Hillel Slovak
No idea who that is so you are probably right.
Frusciante is the hendrix of our generation

>>126675310
Yeah their albums and songs are fine but their guitar playing is nowhere near the level of Frusciante's.
>>126675920
Exactly. No other guitarist could've written Snow. Only him.
>>126675995
John Frusciante, the guitarist of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and the greatest guitarist of all time.
>>126676019
No that is Chad.
>>126676257
Hillel Slovak was the guitarist before Frusciante in RHCP. He was a huge influence on John.
John Frusciante is the Frusciante of our generation, don't compare him to Hendrix as he is much better than that guy.

this dude just enjoys memeing. theres no sincerity to this at all. do not waste your time engaging with him. he just wants (you)'s

This guy killed river Phoenix

>white guy looking like Jesus ripping of Jimi Hendrix
Why normies like this hack so much?
What was his great solo? His great album? His great lines? Is because he is Le Tourtured White Dude? Nigga plays in fucking Red Hot Chili Peppers, a circus band for NPCs. Come on. This is some gay shit, Frusciante stans are fags.

>>126673842
lots of Js

>>126673630 (OP)
spider from school of rock lookin ahh nigga

He's the guy that got me into guitar, always been my goat. I don't listen to RHCP much these days cause I'm more into playing metal but he'll always near the top for me. His live solos are unrivalled, used to watch a shit ton of his solos compilations on youtube back in the day.

>>126673630 (OP)
>it's not even close
>FROOSHDOOSH
he sucks so bad

>>126677966
River killed himself. At least Frusciante can handle his drugs.
>>126678030
People like him because he is a great and sincere musician.
Look up "greatest John Frusciante solos".
His great albums are Niandra LaDes, To Only Record Water for Ten Days, The Empyrean, and so many more records.
His great lines? Read the lyrics to Look On.
He doesn't just play in RHCP. His contributions to music outside of that band are notable too.
>>126678370
Exactly. Nobody plays like him.
>>126678845
No he doesn't.

>>126674362
He was in a house fire at one point and had huge scars on his arms from that, and also needle marks from his heroin days.
At the point when that picture was taken, he wasn't yet showing his arm scars to the public.

Nick drake is also a good guitarist

basically teaches people how guitar should sound

>>126679457
>No he doesn't.
he does. hes a doosh and so are you froosh doosh

>>126673630 (OP)
Slovak was alright
I think the 80s RCHP were charming in their own stupid way

I like late 80s john up to 1997, before he went all yoga/spiritualistic and al that.

he was a massive cunt and junkie that killed that vegan fag phoenix.

that's badass in my book

Official top ten (objective):
Peter Green
Mick Taylor
James Williamson
Steve Cropper
Link Wray
Bo Diddley
Teenie Hodges
Nick McCabe
Maurice Deebank
Bert Jansch

>>126681135
that said his top riffs is
Stone Cold Bush
Butterfly
Give it away
Funky Monks

He has a knack for bending, palm mute, strumming, pull offs/hammer ons with feeling that a few have/synchronize.

He pretty much carried rhcp to being a good band from a funk/punk mess that were everywhere still are in LA.

hes awful singer though

>>126681264
>Peter Green
I never get the Peter Green worship. I means he's decent, has some good jams and all...but he's no Duane or even Billy Gibbons. What am I missing? is there a signature tunes that is so mind blowing that I will see the light?

>>126681685
the smoothness, the tone, the feeling. jumping at shadows live in Boston

>>126682166
>jumping at shadows live in Boston
Thanks. Listened to it twice. its really nice. dude def has a nice feel. the tone is meh to me. I'll have to dig into more live stuff ...and there is no best, only favorites but I fail to see how peter is the "best" especially in comparison to someone like Duane. That being said, they were both playing the same clubs and venues at the same, they must have crossed paths at some point. what a time to be alive seeing shows lol.

>>126673630 (OP)
John Frusciante is only good because he takes cues from finger style players like Jeff Beck. The pure blues wank fags will never be top tier. He can shred but he's not a pure shredder.

>>126681685
People don't want to hear it but Lindsay Buckingham is a better guitarist than Peter Green. Much more versatile in the studio as well.

>>126680530
He's great but not better than Frusciante.
>>126681135
River killed himself.
>>126681264
Frusciante is better than them all.
>>126681295
Agreed about his playing technique -- that's what makes him so special. There is no one like him.
Without him, RHCP would be nothing.
He's a great singer.
>>126682526
He is good for a multitude of reasons.

>>126673644
django reinhardt

Speaking as someone who adores Fahey's music that's just apples and oranges at that point.

it was kino

>hey River here's a drink it's gonna make you feel fabulous
>give the man a drink full of heroin mixed with cocaine
how was he not charged is beyond, you can tell its bothering him. thats why the extreme heroin use or that spiritual stuff , hes trying to zone out of this world, the world where he murdered river phoenix

>>126682541
honestly, unironically kys

His solo work is way better than RHCP. I only listen to his electronic stuff nowaday.

>>126673630 (OP)

How did this man not acquire immunodeficiency in the 1990s?

>>126689286
Sounds exactly like RHCP but after taking ritalin.

>>126673630 (OP)
>John Frusciante is a top 3
At nothing.

>>126689286
his work with the mars volta is kino

>>126689541
isnt his system all fucked up though? he has to get multiple surgeries every year to repair his skin grafts and stuff

>>126673698
Is the guitar really big or the guy really small

>>126687974
River should've been able to handle his drugs. Frusciante could.
>>126689286
Agreed.
>>126691025
At everything good.*
FTFY
>>126691033
Agreed.

The guitar is big.

British bwoos is totally overrated and Peter Green was a j*w LARPing as a black.

Why is Froosh such a Doosh?

Bump for the GOAT of guitar
https://youtu.be/5k8Lknn22DI

>>126676052
he's so cute <3

He’s top 5 in my book. He helped push RCHP in a direction that transformed them from niche funk punk to mainstream top 40 rock band and has written more iconic Melodie’s that most and he leaves the band for a decade every other decade. He’ll probably leave again, but I hope they do one more album first. And yeah, his solo stuff is a whole other realm well worth exploring, I wish he would do another guitar based solo album at some point.

Why did he kill River Pheonix?

>>126697280
He is number #1.
There is not a single guitarist even close to being as good as he is.
>>126697503
River killed himself.
