John Frusciante is one of the most distinctive guitarists at work today, not least because he's widely—almost unanimously—considered the secret sauce on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' greatest albums. In the new issue of Australian Guitar, we delve into the history of his time in that band, his coming of age as a guitarist, and what inspires some of his unique and experimental approaches to the pop rock format.
Elsewhere, we chat effects and EverTune with Korn, unfairly (or not?) pit Squiers against Fenders, and offer up the usual voluminous trove of interviews with the likes of Warpaint, Ball Park Music, Body Type, Chris Cheney, Joe Satriani, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Alpha Wolf, Thornhill... and that's only roughly half of 'em.
