John Frusciante Guitar Example 2 – Technique When I first heard the track ‘Snow’ from the album ‘Stadium Arcadium’, I instantly heard how creative Frusciante’s playing was, even around a simple chord progression. The addition of a repeating pattern, combined with alternate picking and hammer-ons and pull-offs made for a real challenging workout.

I recommend applying these techniques to as many different chord progressions as you can. John Frusciante Guitar Example 3 – Guitar Lick You can’t beat learning a great fun. Today lick is around ‘D’ minor pentatonic. Often Frusciante uses repeating phrases in his solos, to make the listener aware of the theme.
