how the hell is he able to play that riff at full tempo and sing backing vocals at the same time, John is simply incredible !!

1. Easy 2. Normal 3. Hard 4. Impossible 5. John looking at the fretboard

John makes that riff look so easy, every guitarist knows what I'm talking about 😰😂😂

That riff, so good and so annoyingly difficult to play lol

1% of comments good song 2% of comments: good band 97% of comments: JOHN

This riff is the nightmare of every guitarist. But also a pure eargasme to hear.

John's the only guitar player in the world who plays a solo so he can take a break!

Does john intentionally make his rifts impossible to play so people won't cover and fuck up his songs? Lol he's amazing

I mean I can the play the major riff on my guitar, for maybe 30 seconds, before my wrist and forearm give out entirely, and that's without even cross-picking every individual note. Now, coming from a guy who came up with the lead-guitar intro, chorus, bridge, and outro for "under the bridge" at 19 years old, I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised that john can play it continuously.. for 4 minutes.. while singing...but still; simply awe-inspiring talent

Welcome back, Mr. Frusciante. Oh how we’ve missed you

I feel like most people don't realize how difficult that guitar riff is. John is amazing, the best guitarist of his generation in my opinion.

Frusciante is so talented

Fake. Flea has a shirt on.

John actually plays this without a looper. Very impressive.

Only Jesus can play that riff.

1 guitar + 1 bass guitar + drum kit + singer = Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is amazing all they can do with just garage band instruments. I don't know about you but that is the real definition of talent.

I think that most of those people aren't jumping and screaming, cause, like us, they're impressed, staring at John playing that riff and singing at the same time with no mistakes.

Such a talented guitarist John is! I hope he finds his way back.

It's amazing that John plays that verse riff so well, while singing a lower harmony too.

For everyone who insists Josh's version doesn't sound as good.... well no shit. John wrote the music for this song. So clearly he is going to play it better than anyone else. He's also one of the best guitar players of the modern era so there's that too. But Josh is pretty fucking good in his own right. His style is more minimal and he is less aggressive but he is damn good and I've seen him live so I have proof. He can definitely play. He is friends with John for a reason....

I kinda like how Flea has picked the most outrageous jumper to wear because he must have been told he couldn't play topless for some reason.

Flea wearing multiple layers of clothing? Blasphemy!

Has to be one of the hardest songs to play on guitar.

That riff.... it's almost impossible without fucking up at least 1 or 2 notes. John plays it effortlessly, sings and also looks at the crowd instead of looking at the fret board. Bruhh

Flea and Frusciante are soooooo damn great musicians, not only their parts are absolutely accurate but they also created a unique and Unmistakable style

frusciate is a legend playing that riff and singing at the same time

Never thought I’d get the opportunity to see Frusciante play that riff live. I can’t believe he’s back

How he plays this, sings backing vocals at the same time, on tempo, without missing a beat is beyond me

this song has such a good groove.

The most amazing thing in here is that each musician is one of the best ever. Best bassist, Best drummer, Best guitarist, best frontman. Quite an amazing band

The reason John plays that riff so well, other than the obvious reason of being amazing, is because it's HIS.

John's fingers must be ripped

I can’t even express into words how much I love this band

our first sighting of johns 'damn this is tricky' face

If Hilel Slovak could see John as his replacement he would've been so proud. John is a gift :)

John Frusciante; top 5 greatest of all time, easily the best guitarist of the last 35 years

Still one of my all time favorite songs. Got me through a rough patch in my life…

I watch this performance so many times and I can't get over how unreal john is. Harmonizing while perfectly doing that difficult riff.

This riff is absolutely great practice for alternate picking. It's also great at making you wish your fretting hand would just fall off.

I believe Snow (Hey Oh) is the perfect RHCP song, faster verses, a catchy chorus, easy to learn words, nonsensical lyrics, and amazing Frusciante guitar playing

The problem with this particular riff is that it gives you hope, in the starting of learning it you feel like its not that hard and with some practice you'll get it down, and you do get it down but not at full tempo, you think I"ll practice slowly and then increase tempo but boom you play 4 bars and your hand hurts and cramps. This riff is harder than other riffs because it gives you hope unlike other songs which you know are hard ( like every dragonforce song ever) But I'll learn it frusciante, you just wait, I'll learn it alright.

No matter what I am doing when this songs starts playing I am instantly elevated.❤

He started playing this riff when he was 7 years old and it morphed its way, after many years, into becoming part of this incredible song.🫡👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

hardest red hot chilli peppers guitar riff ever. John Frusciante is simply amazing. every note means something.

This is the calmest I've ever seen Flea performing

In addition to John's excellent talent, what attracts my attention is how beautiful he looks like that kills me ...

Love the fact that the comment section is just a bunch of guitarists giving chops to John. And rightly so, that riff is beyond nutty.

What a lucky audience. Small venue, the band in its prime. 2006.

I'm so happy John is back! I hope I get to see them live, once concerts are a thing again.

JF will always be the best guitarist this band ever had! Thanks for lighting up our lives with your riffs and your soul John!

John is amazing. He can't be replaced.

I v roce 2024 me neomrzi tato překrásná píseň. Dik za probdelou noc 😊❤

I love red hot chilli peppers, they’re all amazing musicians and the music comes first and Anthony’s voice and lyrics is just the final instrument that strings it all together perfectly

Johnny es de otro planeta por crear ese riff! Gracias Dios por dejarme ser contemporáneo de la epoca de John! JOHN=RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

I listened to this song a lot as a kid but never really thought about the insanity of the guitar riff. So I had to come here to check him out playing it live.

everybody says that the crowd is not enjoying the song as sould be, but at the end of the video you can see them clapping with a looot of energy, they just were paying attention to this beautiful show

He is just so awesome ;.; GODDAMN I love them, especially John

He played it throughout the whole song.

Son magníficos músicos, todos. No solo una de las mejores bandas del mundo sino también de la historia.

I love how John is still in tune even though Anthony is way out of it at the beginning. John was solid like a rock in the band

this song will never get old, the pinnacle of music. I was twelve, but this was beyond its time

Pense num Riff que me dá tendinite é esse 😂😂

ill never be tired of saying that john it’s just an amazing performer ❤

John executives that riff flawlessly....the drums and the vocals, along with what flea does on the bass... this band is legendary.

本当にこの曲が大好き

John Frusciante plays guitar like nobodies business.

John was the soul of RHCP, so glad he’s back! Love watching these old live shows

One of the best songs ever

I was just thinking this...imagine John doing an album with of Monsters and Men. I bet he'd sound GREAT signing with them.

Can't get enough of this song lately

Come to decide that the things that I tried　 生まれてきてから求めていたものを Were in my life just to get high on 決めるときがきたようだ When I sit alone come get a little known 一人でいたならもっとわかるはず But I need more than myself this time けど今は誰かにいてほしい Step from the road to the sea to the sky 海へ空へ道が続くから And I do believe that we rely on 自分たちを信じるんだ When I lay it on 手を広げたら Come get to play it on ここに来てくれよ All my life to sacrifice 命なんて捧げるよ Hey oh listen what I say oh 僕の詞を聞いて I got your 君の分も Hey oh now listen what I say oh, oh 詞を聞いてくれ When will I know that I really can't go いつになったらわかるのか To the well once more time to decide on 再び満ち足りることなんてありえないけど When it's killing me 死を前にして When will I really see 見えてくる All that I need to look inside 心を知りたいだけ Come to believe that I better not leave こんなところで死ねないよ Before I get my chance to ride まだすることがあるのに When it's killing me 死を前にして What do I really need 何が欲しい All that I need to look inside ただ心を知りたいだけ Hey oh listen what I say oh 僕の詞を聞いて Come back and 一回戻って Hey oh look at what I say oh 僕の詞を聞いて The more I see the less I know 見れば見るほどわからなくなる The more I like to let it go hey oh あきらめてしまいたくなる Wooooaaah Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder 不思議な世界を深く覆ってゆく Where it's so white as snow それは雪のように白い Privately divided by a world so undecided わからない世界に分かれていって And there's nowhere to go どこにも行き場がない In between the cover of another perfect wonder 不思議な世界を深く覆ってゆく And it's so white as snow それは雪のように白い Running through the field where all my tracks will いくら走っても足跡が Be concealed and there's nowhere to go oh! 消されたら行き場がなくなる

This song is timeless. 05/13/22 and it still sounds amazing and relevant.

Ahh when we all complement the group as a whole. Love it when it happens

It's amazing that John can play such a hard riff- it's just we have to remember it's his own riff. Therefore it's automatically easy as hell for you but not everyone else unless they practice.

For John"s next trick, he will play this song with both hands tied behind his back. Great guitarist.

I’ve never understood how someone could be at this and, just stand perfectly still watching.

John's guitar tone sounds so great.

Long live Frusciante. Just unreal how incredibly talented he is.

Swear to god, him and Hendrix make the guitar look so fucking simple and natural. Love just watching (and hearing obvioiusly) them play

John is a big talent playing the guitar!! It’s not for everyone to play and do backing vocals like him!!! He is amazing 🤟😖🤟

guys i'm 12 and i'm playing this riff for 4 minutes tomorrow night at a concert, wish me luck....

John is one of the top most underrated guitarist ever

Brilliant performance

Groove like no other😌

Ok but like John is literally. Jesus Christ omg I don’t understand how he can play like that. Sometimes they do this song at faster tempo live

Damn I’ve been playing for a long time and I can play the riff pretty well but the tempo is damn fast is hard. John is on another level to sing at the same time and not looking at the guitar.

Amazing people no smart phone, just watching and enjoying the vibe

RHCP is so underrated!!! Love John!

I’m here ‘cause Frusciante is back! ❤️

only frusciante plays that riff that way

That riff is such a wrist destroyer, so much fun to play when you nail it tough!

what the flip... That riff is so sweet! I'm getting more and more psyched about John being back in RHCP!

JOHN IS BACK!

2020☝️ john is back 😍

Will remember this band until i die.

The left-right hand coordination is so outrageously amazing on that riff. John sings and doing that riff without looking on the fretboard. No looper. Jist pure skills. I admit it is no fun playing this riff for me. I fuck up those notes every now and then because of my picking technique. And this is live. The tempo is subjective every live they play this song than the studio album. What a god you are mr fruciante.

le riff !!!!!!!!!.......... waow

Genios!!!!

This riff is really difficult but fantastically hypnotic. Practise and more practise! Alternate picking is absolutely essential plus a very RELAXED wrist action. I use a flexible, light pick for more intimate string contact. Cheat by always staying on the 4th fret for all the syncopated arpeggios🤫. If the wrist is not relaxed it will tense up giving painful muscle cramp.Demanding? Yes but doable.

Frusciante with a Keith Richardesque haunting riff with lovely backing vocals and epic hair even Jesus Christ would be envious of. Flea just mugs the bass line and Chads shuffling rythum & of course Keides just makes love to the mic. RHCP at its finest
