i honestly think frusciante is the best guitarist of the modern era, there are alot of great guitarists nowadays that take music pretty far in one direction or another but i think frusciante is a master. technical ability opens doors but i dont like it when music sounds overly robotic or textbook, frusciante is a good balance of ability and expression
omar rodriguez-lopez is still my favorite though (more my style, against the grain), they did an album together which wasnt too impressive, i like them better with their respective bands. john frusciantes solo stuff is almost too experimental for me, and i listen mostly to prog so thats saying alot
