Losing it by Chris Lake/Fisher
Just so simple it would appeal to the masses.

Then you just need to get stronger.

Back before it was stealing it was peer to peer sharing. But since that got shut down I bought one CD back in 2002 or some year around there.

Try getting lighter gauge strings and just practice holding the chords down. Do it everyday and eventually it’s just muscle memory.

Have u tried acoustic before? If so How strings feels? They feels different? I have trouble having to press too much on strings in my acoustic one and thinking of switching to electric. Or maybe I just need to practice more to strengthen my grip and finger muscles

Hot take? The RHCP haven’t recorded a good album since Uplift Mofo Party Plan. Hillel Slovak died and everything since then has been a pale imitation of their early greatness.

I had that problem when I first started too. Make sure you're using the very tips of your fingers to press down the strings. Also when you get into the right position pluck all the strings individually to see if any if them are muted, and if one is try to look at your fingers and see which one of them is muting it and adjust accordingly.
And it also is just one of those things that takes time and patience. But just keep it up and after not too long you'll be switching between chords without even thinking about it.

Yep. I think even the band doesn’t want to reign him in. Two DOUBLE albums in one year? C’mon

Yeah, well- if you can play it, then good. I would have saved up for something a little more expensive myself. That cheap a price, the manufacturer has to cut a lot of corners in order to make them profitable at that price point. I suspect that this at least part of the problem.

I made a playlist a year or so ago called Start-Finish Albums for this purpose. Each road trip I knock a few out.

very little post-2000 music is going to age well, maybe 5% and that's being very generous

Take some lessons from a real, human guitar teacher. They can get you on the right path and get you started with good technique in a way that videos cannot. You will improve much faster and prevent yourself from developing bad habits.

He’s a tremendous talent, but you’d think Frusciante was a unicorn that ****s gold by how euphoric RHCP fans react when he does anything with the band. The last two albums were only OK in my book tbh.

Great advice. I am a intermediate player and he still teaches me a ton when I put the time in.

Learn the song” House or the rising sun” it has all the chords you will need to start your journey. Easy melody fast or slow arpeggio or not it’s up to you. If you don’t have talent then you must have desire.

There are two ways to cleanly fret strings. One is to to have your fingers come straight down on the finger board so the fingertips don't touch other strings. The other is to deliberately mute any neighbouring strings you don't want to sound, by letting your fingers or your wrapped around thumb or sometimes the edge of your palm touch them lightly as you pluck the strings you want to sound. Each of these techniques takes practice.
I saw a photo with a closeup of Eric Clapton's left hand one time while he was playing, and he had medium length finger nails, and it occurred to me that he must not play a lot of chords with open strings where you must fret with the tip of your finger. Instead he must play mostly using the pulp of the finger (good for bending notes) and either mutes or avoids striking other strings.

Get Lucky - Daft Punk.
The second I heard it I knew. It was pretty obvious. It’s just insanely catchy and likable. Sure enough a few weeks later it was everywhere.
