As if we did not have enough fun this past week with 5 incredible Nights We Stole Christmas, we got the big news on Sunday that beloved guitar player John Frusciante will once again return to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He was a key player in the band’s worldwide explosion in the 90s and 2000’s, crafting with the guy’s countless hit songs and smash albums. So let’s check out some of Frusciante’s best guitar solos from his previous runs with the Chili Peppers.

Frusciante last left the band in 2009, producing solo music while maintaining a friendship with the band. Since then Frusciante’s friend and guitar tech Josh Klingoffer earned his stripes helping create the hit albums ‘I’m with You’ and “The Getaway’.

ARTV covered the entire story of Klingoffer’s time with the Peps and why Frusciante’s return is such a big deal for this beloved alternative group.
