In this Snow (Hey Oh) guitar lesson video, I will show you note-for-note how to play all of John Frusciante's great guitar parts to this massive hit by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Frusciante's main riff to "Snow (Hey Oh)" is quite challenging and is a great string crossing exercise. Even more impressive, Frusciante does a lot of harmony vocal work live while playing this riff.

Like I suggest in the video lesson, it will probably be better to just practice with one chord shape for the main riff until you have the pattern up to speed. Then you can begin applying that same pattern to all of the chords in the riff.

The pre-chorus consists of diads played on the A and B strings. The main difficulty will be in muting all the unwanted strings. I will demonstrate how I do that in the video lesson. I will also show you a couple of different ways to play this riff, one that he does live and one closer to the original studio version.

The chorus uses 3 chords in which John Frusciante plays the bass note on the low E string with his thumb. This is reasonably comfortable for two of the chords, but the second chord can be pretty challenging unless you have a very long thumb. You can simply play that chord like a normal bar chord as well, which is what you will see me do in the video lesson.

Later in the song there is a little arpeggio sequence overdubbed on the chorus. I will show you how to play that just in case you have a second guitarist that can play that part while one of you continues with the normal chorus chords.

At the end of the lesson I will show you how to play Frusciante's guitar solo albeit without all the harmonized parts. We will just be looking at the main unison bends he plays on the record and live.

Enjoy! #snowheyohguitarlesson #redhotchilipeppers #guitarcovers

Many guitarist died(gave up playing) because of the war named "Snow Hey oh". Some lost their fingers. We should pay full respect to those guitar martyrs. N. B. : There're a lot of wars. Another famous one was "Every breath you take".

Carl this is why we guitar players never give up when we try to learn a difficult song. We play for the love of the rush when we finally get "there" and think I did it. I learned and can now play the song.

Frusciante is insane. I just love his playing style. He’s a genius musician and he knows so much theory and technical stuff. Even his solo stuff is amazing

This song is so f***ing hard to play. Edit : yeah it’s not that hard actually, it’s just fast and you just need to practice everyday

I’ve been playing (on and off) for about 5 months and I try playing this everyday for about an hour and I can finally play it a few times before I mess up. If I could do it you can too, just don’t stop trying.

Everyone saying he managed to do this in 30 minutes, after playing the guitar for 1 month is just lying. Or, they are the best guitar players in the world, but why would they be sitting here watching youtube.... I play guitar for 5 years now (not intensively) but it took me like 2 weeks to play this perfectly. I know, im not talented or anything, but dont get put off by those guys :)
