Mars Volta Eriatarka on Guitar

[wmotamedi]

Fucking great job, man! I hope to play as effortlessly as you someday. Unfortunately, I share Omar's frustration towards this instrument. It's know among fans that he hated playing the guitar until Amputechture, despite sounding amazing as hell on it.

[VeryArousable]

You know your good when people don't believe you were actually playing.

[JQmusical]

very cool, props for having a bad ass guitar. i always thought omar was cooler when he used a Fender : )

[Dustin322]

also, i'm not dissing. just because im not on this guys dick for doing a decent cover..

[TheDanification]

this is great tone anyway...that light delay really enhances the atmosphere of the melody

[wmotamedi03]

That was fucking awesome.

[cgillard]

Nicely done! Want to join my band? Oh wait. . .

[HiDeguild]

Love this song, thanks for posting the video.

[james123454321]

what effects are you using?

[Sexpancake]

Beautiful :3

[alexosos]

Lol, dustin322, the american idiot who's 110% everyone want to hear his opinion.

[dante666diaz]

Shut up dude. He is correct. Don't diss on quality info.

[Dustin322]

@alexosos an american idiot from el paso whos seen at the drive-in live at a house show in 2000 and has followed TMV & Sparta ever since they broke up. keep talking shit.

[Absraction]

how many ms of delay are you using?

[Dustin322]

a little less reverb, alot more volume. you wanna start to catch feedback when the notes fade out. other then that pretty good, i wanna get my guitar fixed up and learn this song myself

[JEESherazi]

it's very arrogant to tell someone how to set their tone. lol

[Dustin322]

If he ever intends on making the cover true to the song then that's good advice. I haven't learned this particular song but I've fucked with different amps effects and synthesizers long enough to know what I'm talking about... And at least I was on topic up until you tried to call me out like the self righteous fuck you are.

[leakeg]

@Dustin322 no one gives a shit about emulating a tone exactly, that is lame.

[Dustin322]

@leakeg

you don't enjoy the effects side of their music??? when i try covers i want to learn the notes as well as the effects and setup. thats how you learn from influential bands and actually get somewhere.

noone gives a shit? or maybe just you? your loss man. i'm not offended.

[leakeg]

@Dustin322 you're never going to find your own sound if you spend your time emulating someone else's.

[Dustin322]

@leakeg

EVERYONE elses, influence from one band is bad for sure. Mars volta just got me obsessed with effect equipment and all the little things.

[Dustin322]

@JEESherazi

its very dissappointing to get a pat on the back instead of a productive critique.

[ConnorShawMusic]

pretty damn good !!! i do love this song :)

peace' connor

[7633312659]

you show me how to play this

[chelahds]

nice!!

i realy like it!!!  =>

[Miiigueeeeel]

great guitar.

[ProphetOfTheMoons]

awsome man!

[diamondhead11]

if anyone has the tabs for the way hes playing it or a link to it please message me sick coverr

[ETPuddles]

tabs suck dick

[diamondhead11]

i dont give a fuck i just want the tabs dont have to be an ass

[worstjazzer]

tabs have mouths?

[EvanTheMute]

lol

[HaroldFeldberg]

Dude get Tuxguitar or guitar pro and then get those tabs they are as accurate as you can get normally

[dumbythewise]

no the effects are not that close.

six out of ten

[worstjazzer]

its not a replication, its an interpretation.

[Bergamot29]

hahaha playback

en el minuto 1:02

se nota clarisimo

o el audio esta mal

pero que fraude

[srsplanet]

si esta tocando. seguro te confundiste por el sonido del delay.

[nirvanoso67]

por que me da la puta impresion de que este pendejo no esta tocando ni madres, solo moviendo los dedos como vil pendejo. saludos y buen dia.

[Toomapoosh]

awesome

[meriadoc69]

The guitar sounded really close to the original, what effects were you using?

gREETINGS!

[adims654]

mesmerizing guitar in this song. great job.

[cord13drummer]

Less distortion and reverb. otherwise it would be perfect. Omar would be proud.

[kasieshababa]

completely amazing. i still have goosebumps.

[interpol218]

What sort of effect did u use to get that tone? its like perfect!

[AirHendrix91]

Hey dude, what's your gear / pedals on this video?

I know its a delay pedal but what company is it from?

Is it the Boss Delay pedal?

[giglio12345]

gibson explorer with phaser pedal nails it even nicer.

for reals

[roycrunk]

this is good .........good job d00d!!!

[AirHendrix91]

Nice delay on that tone :D.

Good job!

[Guitarawr]

I can't even comprehend how you could match the tone that well. Mind=blown.

[theseventhyear]

man, that tele nails it. i can't quite get the tone with my 85' japanese strat.

[m3tallicats]

cool....

good work men....

[MakeShiftArcher]

nice. i feel your pain with the laggy video deal. not only is my camera laggy as hell but the sound quality is horrible. im bout to get a really good web cam and this usb amp port that lets me play right into my computer. no sound lag, good quality video. i like how you used the tele's sound. sound alot like omar in this. if only you had a phaser pedal or flange.

[SycamoreFig]

It's called a delay pedal dumbass.

[wsad458679]

the video is either out of sync or fake. just watch the last five seconds.

[devilthebeats]

I have that tele! Pretty sweet isn't it

[thecutandthecult]

That's a cool looking tele.

[automaticorpse]

worry about playing the part right instead of getting the exact same tone

just my two cents

[Imatotalass]

Very good. I'm sure it isn't fake.

But, tell us the effects man!

[ButtPoopWiggle]

HAHAHA! What an idiot.

[PoldikRumar]

Seems fake to me... his picking does not correspond with the tones he's "playing."

[Alekseyyyyyy]

hahaha. funny.

no really guys, I never thought so many people would like this. I'm flattered that some of you think its too good to be true.

[jxd549]

it cant be fake the tone isnt exactly like omar's but very very close. and i think its just a syncing problem more than anything else. nice guitar by the way? is that the baja tele?

[kidkrim]

@PoldikRumar how bouyt you look at the notes hes playing and realize that theyre all right and this is an easy song on guitar

[blopeezy]

@PoldikRumar have you ever heard of matching the video with the actual playing? or video delays? this guy is really playing kinda stupid to say he isnt

[AndThenCameThenC]

@PoldikRumar ever heard of a delay effect pedal?.... look it up...

[AirHendrix91]

WOW! How did you get Omar's sound?

That was amazing!

[MakeShiftArcher]

delay flange and chorus probably. am i right op?

[MrJon08]

how do you learn mars volta stuff lyk every tab i get is wrong?????

[franksinatra64]

this is so good

[showmewhatyagot]

this is great man.

[tomzombiefleury]

i think 911 tabs has the best version

[abbaroc]

your playin it wrong

[gecko9n]

practica mas te hace falta controlar mejor los aparatos

[guitaromasta]

tabs! we demand tabs! plz haha

[KIDiotequeA]

This was great...you do this by ear? or could you possibly direct me towards some tab?

[volcomskim2]

nice man, ur realy good

[ChiliPepperFanboy]

yup i agree digitech is shit, never trust anything digital

[chujchujchuj]

Yeah, that's why Omar is using a Boss DD-6, and a Line 6 delay. Never listen to myth-fans.

[chujchujchuj]

This was supposed to be a response to

ChiliPepperFanboy's comment.

[jguarin]

true

they suck

except for the whammy...thats their only decent pedal thats not a cheap imitation of a boss pedal

[tjm717]

Actually their digital delays, reverb, and flange is pretty good. Their Bad Monkey OD pedal is considered one of the best mainstream non-boutique ones.

[pianoxwires]

dude what are you talking about, digitech is a horrid brand. terrible quility, never buy digitech! by boss. much better, even line 6 has good stomp boxes

[Behzad93]

Yeah, you're guitar is really cool.

[transmissioner]

Your guitar is pretty.

[mjcanan]

nice playing man.  Sync is off a bit. Oh, and if you could get more of the fretboard in the shot in future posts that would be sweet. Again, nice playing man

[Bigbear44]

are you using a ring modulator or a flanger or what?

[Bigbear44]

-for that crazy echoing sound, like in the real song.

[RJW14]

My guesses: A delay and an overdrive.

Maybe some chorus.

[EmergencyRoomRomanti]

Awesome dude fucking awesome

[yorchvalensi666]

hey awesome

what king of effect are u using in this...delay in digitech?

[sk8baker22]

that looks like a jeff beck tele

[mraberrant]

fantastico

[black1atrax]

very good! bravo

[rch88]

what type of delay pedal are you using? im thinking of getting one but have absolutely no knowledge of technical gear etc..

[chestnut02]

lol i dont either, but look for anything "digitech"

they r a good brand I bought a delay pedal of digitech it was called digital delay (no shit) but its a good pedal, sturdy and it had an extra function thingy where you play something, and then it plays it backwards if you want....but its prolly not the cheapest thing you would find. but its very good

[SpectralFire]

thats really good

[rejiche]

nice tele!!!

[guitarman21]

You didn't play the fast part at the beginning of the song...

[Anfon]

huzzah for telecaster players

[sanchos7meat7hat]

its called a delay pedal!

 and a ring mod would make it saound hella weird

[1Pornflakes1]

Wierd, it keeps playin after uv stopped. Still awesom playin =D

[FredrickNielson]

Nice.

[mcwarska]

nicely done!

[thevial]

you need a ring mod.

[E3tiger]

I tried using the ring mod on my boss me-50 to play this. All it does is basicly completely gets rid of the tone. Makes it sound computer like. Any tips on how to use this thing?

[metalmonkey666]

thats sick! But its frobly the pedle that makes it sound good. Put up a version without the pedel.

[AtTheDriveBy]

what effects you use hombre!

[DJAS1]

hell yeah, sick

[BLame8008]

that was great. I can't wait to see them in concert this october!! Mars Volta rocks!

[devchemist]

nice indeed. Teles rock. I want to join too... ..but I play an SG.

[Nermol]

that's awesome. i love that song. one of my favorites from the mars volta

[santy04]

NIIIICE.

[anthonynemet89]

Are you from Toronto? Lets start motherfuckin band, two Tele players and me and my prog-head Volta obsessed drummer

[anthonynemet89]

Are you from Toronto? Lets start motherfuckin band, two Tele players and me and my prog-head Volta obsessed drummer

[davinci27]

what delay pedal is that

[marcusnor]

Tab please. And please post yourself playing the chorus, thats the hardest part

[shotgunjoe]

Nice man.

[wetreplies]

thank you for making this.

one of my favorite guitar lines of all time, and you do a great job.

[enginesonmute]

[lacoocoo]
