Black Summer Free Lesson Video

I’m loving Frusciante’s tone on this and his choice of phrasing in the guitar solo. He follows the main melody of the song but he deviates from it with his own licks.

To get close to the tone settings of Frusciante, I used a Hendrix amp head in Amplitube. And a Uni-Vibe pedal with a little chorus. I added a digital reverb rack mount to the rack section and a compression pedal to the effects loop. My tone may be a little more on the treble side than Frusciante’s. But I was feeling it. If you’d like to check out my exact tone settings for this song as well as the rest of the videos on this page, feel free to head over to my Patreon page :). Patrons get other perks like 50% discount off sheet music, access to the video backing tracks, discord chat, and more. There’s more info on that in the description.

I’ve posted Under the Bridge on this page a little over a year ago. Adding some more Chili Peppers to the list might be a good idea. One of my favorites – I Could Have Lied. Has a nice guitar solo. Any other Chili Pepper tunes you’d like to see posted? Let me know below!

Isolated TRACKS (mp3)

Here are the drums, bass and other background tracks to jam along to Black Summer. I've also included all of my isolated guitar tracks in case you really want to hear what's going on. Isolated tracks are normally very difficult to find online, and can be very helpful in cracking a difficult solo tab.
