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.

Frusciante absolutely does crack top 15 -- there's not really a whole lot of players better than him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Heโ€™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 Melodieโ€™s that most and he leaves the band for a decade every other decade. Heโ€™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.
