There's yet another snippet concerning John in the April 2010 issue of Guitar World. This time, it does not concern his departure from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as the last month's one-page feature did, it's about what really matters - music and playing style. The snippet concerns seventh chords. For everyone who needs help finding the magazine- this issue of Guitar World has a psychedelic cover with a Jimi Hendrix headshot in the centre, just like on the preview thumbnail of this article.

In addition to this, elsewhere in the magazine, Joe Satriani is asked about John's departure. A question that appeared to be asked in a jokingly manner started out with a joke response as well, but then it drifted down to a serious one.
GW: Josh Klinghoffer has recently taken the place of John Frusciante in the Chili Peppers. So tell me, why didn't you get the gig?
SATRIANI: [laughs] Yeah, why not, right? Hey, it's not like I didn't drop hints: I played some Chili Peppers songs backstage, hoping Chad would pick up on it. Actually, I was pretty shocked to hear the news that John Frusciante had quit again. I thought [the group's 2006 album] Stadium Arcadium was a terrific record that really showed off his playing. It's the most "John Frusciante" of all their albums. Chad never mentioned that John was leaving, at least not to me. It's a pretty big deal for the band. We'll see what happens.

also on page 61 joe satraini talks about john and him leaving and how he thinks stadium arcadium is the most john frusciante sounding chili peppers album.........n stuff
Oh wow, I assume Roberto didn't notice that at first, but since he didn't, would you mind typing that part out, so I can add it to the news?
It would be appreciated, very much.

very good article and inspiring examples. better than the ones before
if there are even more pages, I'd love to read them
thanks a lot!
funny since he said he 'stole' that chord-idea from T-Rex
oh now I see what you're saying because I read the article!!! They are talking about that specific chord. That's too funny. John's use of it has become more famous than T Rex!
tons of people use 7th chords, they are all over jazz and blues. He didn't steal the 7th chord from anybody!
And Frank Zappa, Hendrix, and other influences of John used them too, not just T-Rex, so I'm sure he heard 7th chords from a lot of different musicians he studied. And he uses 7th chords in more than just Under the Bridge, too - and I doubt every time he uses them it is a T Rex influence!
The thing about the Under the Bridge chord is it is a specific type of 7th chord. And just like in the T-Rex song it's at the end of a phrase and all held out in echoey 70's glam goodness. So that one bit IS reminiscent of the T Rex song. No doubt.
Hah, Satriani with the RHCP would be great
