[hansph00508]

[warhol1961]

nice job chico...thumbs up

[RocknRollisDead1]

what pedals are you using?

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Question! Do you record first and then put the accompaniment over it, or do you have the track playing in the background? Great job!

[HateIsGood2]

WOW

[CerpinTaxt1983]

Man you are fucking great on the git!! keep up the great work

[beefcake8888]

you should have added some neck bends, that would have been sick.

[leakeg]

@beefcake8888 what is a neck bend?

[beefcake8888]

@leakeg

put your left hand behind the top of the neck, right hand above the pickups, push in opposite ways, the neck will bend.

[stelladawesdrums]

Nice midi!

[WhoReadsMyNameStinks]

[Introscape]

Nice chops, dude. That guitar seems way too big for you.

[thelostcanvas10]

awesome dude!!...and nice guitar =)

[ravery88]

Pretty fuckin' sweet man. What was the music you were playing to? It didn't sound like the CD; it sounded like MIDI. Did you make it? If not, where did you find it? I've been in search of TMV MIDI files for a long time!

[sadmaneighteen]

@ravery88 8 bit mars volta series of videos

[karagjorjevic]

oye bastante impresionante. de donde sacaste la partitura tablatura? where did you get the tab? saludos desde Mexico!!

[friendsandalibis13]

duuuuude you did a cover of thriller- thats like my favorite song since like 5 grade- and you did a cover of a song from the mars volta-my best friend cali got me obssed-you are amazing

[YTcomic]

cool

[hoeloeloe]

guitar pro!

[sta0005]

The guitar and drums are so different, difficulty-wise. Thomas Pridgen is AMAZING

[Treefingrs]

Actually, it does matter.

[renr19]

tocas bien perron

[renr19]

[onetwothreeoclock]

[ELTURBOMAN]

@onetwothreeoclock no he said you look like george harrison.

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

HEY! midi track you say!? its really the shit! anyone who can program drums like that is a god! please please send that midi file to meee!? btw ur guitar totally fucking kicks ass! u also nailed the cover, better tone than most guitar covers on youtube!

[ExitArcade92]

Awesome Man!

Volta Rules!

Love the photo of Hendrix by your door!

[JoeyJplus50lbs]

You look and have a similar guitar to George Harrison. You look just like Harrison

[lellowranger]

I liked how you messed with the tuning pegs at the end, that was some great playing man.

[HABITAT453]

great job man keep it up volta owns

[thepactissealed]

good job

[MrFuckloszetas]

[Chrisguy42O]

gjgj

[XguitarrockerX]

Holy shit you rock!

[nicolasdurruti]

You're Really good

[hellgrandfather]

where did you get that tab? D:

[RonG40]

Sweet! I need to show a friend of mine this vid, because it highlights how complex this song is. I don't expect I will get him to like Mars Volta (nor do I want to) but I get really miffed when he slags them as "just noise". Love the guitar and this is spot on. Makes me want to play more than beyond the noodling I've been doing lately. Major bravo!

[MrFuckloszetas]

tetragrammton, thats a lot more complex than wax simulacra, wax is still cool though to RongG40

[RonG40]

I wouldn't dispute that all....that song kicks. But this version of 'Wax...' illustrates, IMO, that this song is much more than noise...it has structure and form that is almost "classical" in nature.

[onetwothreeoclock]

thanks mate, yeah but i think the best thing about the volta is they're not just shredding the harmonic minor scale like most prog bands.

they care more about structure, balance, melody and meaning rather than showing how fast and complex they can be.

There are a tonne of people who play better than omar but they bore me to death.

There's always something that hits me in a MV song

[RonG40]

Whoa! The term classical is referring to certain compositional elements...nothing more! No argument there! Another thing I admired here was the tone. That choice alone separates you from the herd. Enough distortion to give it bite, but the more complex chords don't get lost in the sound. Hmmm...structure, balance, melody and meaning. There's hope for the future after all!

[bungbung13131]

i need the tabs

NAO

[IronMan360]

Great Guitar man

[ColdToiletSeats]

nice tone

[NKbassist]

holy fuck..i loved it!

[senselessbattery]

Great stuff! Thanks for this.

[NotGabeNewell]

You play it completely different from me. Did you use tabs or learn it by ear ?

[onetwothreeoclock]

i kind of just winged it. I cant hardly hear the guitar on the track so you just have to play the obvious notes and fill in the rest.

[napkinshower]

@onetwothreeoclock good job man but i heard he doesnt use power chords. idk how accurate that comment is but considering omar doesnt really know how to play the guitar professionally (paraphrase) that might change your perspective on how to play his stuff.

[iPhoneOfEsem]

I think you played it better than Omar himself

[allypanic]

did you program the backing track? its hideous! Sounds like Mars Volta for elevators. Must have taken aaaages too. Good playing tho =)

[onetwothreeoclock]

we could call it televators

it midi. Someone else transcribed it and they did a real good job.

my drums sound better now

[popowasyimyim]

The tone is just soo beutiful. lol It's amazing

[onetwothreeoclock]

thanks, this was the first day i got this guitar so it was kind of unserviced and out of whack. Maybe that gave it a bit more sting.

[bayemvey]

THAT IS A SICK GUITAR

[CitizenErased22]

Best cover on the tube, i love this song so much! Awesome cover and nice guitar!

[onetwothreeoclock]

:D thanks, glad you like it

[moisie13]

nice stoner tone you got there.

[tylerb1085]

Well done, dude. Are you related to Julian Casablancas?

[onetwothreeoclock]

nah, but that would be cool.

i'm related to George Harrison, oh no wait, i AM George Harrison. At least every one keeps saying that ;-)

[hcosmob]

cool, i'm john lennon. =O

niceee video.

[Obviouslyasher]

Yeah that was sick as,

Is that a 6121? Looks like one but hard to tell.

[onetwothreeoclock]

:) good spotting

[atemahawke7]

[mimapo]

That kicked ass!

[RobotTalkCerpinTaxt]

[sdl486]

[mathyoumusic]

[GreenDayLetterbomb72]

love that sound from the guitar! what amp are you using? and any effects? oh and you kind of remind me of a young paul mccartney at times in this video. lol.

[onetwothreeoclock]

it's going through a boss recording unit with inbuilt effects which i edited. yeah most people say i am george harrison lol. thanks for the comment

[GreenDayLetterbomb72]

nice job! i LOVE that guitar!!!

[Dedbigfed]

Great job, man!

[HohMahGawd]

[Matthew1242]

Nice job

[tough0crowd0eh9]

The Mars Volta makesa me so horny!!!

[GuerillaDiMusica]

Haha great how you put your own crazyness in there in between the normal parts. Suits the song very well!

[aBigOrangeBong]

awesome stuff i liked what u did at the very end.. could i get tabs possibly? please and thanx

[Odrareg5666]

Great great cover!

[vegadomis32988]

good cover man !!!

[vegadomis32988]

omar is a legend !!!

for a person who can compose all that music and make a band... and shred thats amazing and change music omar rocks u suck Whathapemdtometal999

[GuerillaDiMusica]

You again.

How come you check out all of these videos if you think TMV is such a sucking band?

[rydenhoven]

love it! much better then the gp version thats on the net, wich scale do u use in the second verse?

[NinjaTurtle12345]

Usually I fucking hate youtube covers but this was very impressive. You got into the spirit of the song, rather than just playing it. Very well done.

Although you should look into getting something with a brighter tone and higher string tension, the guitar isn't really 'right' for TMV stuff.

[lindcos]

Great cover.

[kakebacon]

Excellent but Different Guitar man.

it just doesn't sound right

But it sounds correct

So just throw the same notes on a diff guitar and you could be the next Omar Rodriguez Lopez

[tomatoplot]

I like your version better than the real one... Is it from a tab or did you improve it yourself??

[juddstarkiller]

verrrry impressive. 5 stars

[bluntobjct]

gretsch?

awesome playing!

[bicycleofplenty]

Beautiful instrument!

[bongolow07]

Badass cover.

[converguenza]

[dapunkof1975]

Wow man im fuckin impressed

[brunobliss]

weird guitar, but awesome sound

[nightmare000r]

wow very amazing cover, and yea thats a really high doorknob

[bjamminz8]

you got it down guy! continuuuuuue!

[galian14]

Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing guitar?

[mrbungs]

dude that's the highest door knob I've ever seen.

[Healthykidtcl]

sounds awesome man, also where did you get this tab?
