In my opinion, Steve Wilson and Omar are two of the hardest working and underrated musicians to ever grace this planet with both of them working on projects constantly. And both have some of the sickest guitar solos/composing skills I've ever heard. Both have similar ideas, yet different styles and approaches with incredible results everytime. I would love to see them do a tour together, and I would die if they collaborated.
@BigTymerPimp Ive always thought but never known anyone who thought that would be a amazing idea. You could have an amazing lineup it could be Steven Wilson on Guitar and vocals,Omar Rodriguez on Guitar,Juan Alderete or Colin Edwin.But the hardest part would be by either having gavin harrison or deationi parks and money mark or barberi on keys.
@FunK0Slap0GB I would seriously die a happy man if I could hear a collaboration between them. Someone needs to get on to mentioning this idea to them. I think a lot of TMV fans like PT and vice versa for PT fans. So the listeners would accept it right away, I think. I honestly, see no reason for them never recording together other than the fact that they're constantly busy. It would be a crime if they've never met each other.
no...the trick to playing like Omar is to focus on the wrong notes. when you focus on the wrong notes, you hear a shit-ton more and better music than you would, trying to hit every on note.
the only thing they have in common is being lefty players, Omar is on another level at this point in recent inovation, hands down the most creative guy around
@1944ACE1944 it is called simply " C)Pt III" and its one of the last songs of the album Scabdates. recommend listening to it from the top. you can barely see one song changing into another.
can any conversation about guitar playing not end up in some sort of hendrix debate? its been a reasonable amount of time since he passed, probably time to leave it alone. its the jibberish of bedroom guitarists the world over!!!......
I think he is what musicians today have to be. He is a blend of his very, very diverse influences. He has developed his voice. Musicians who do this, and whose goal is to express themselves honestly, stand out.
@TheJesselee83 False, Santana's been doing something very new and fresh with Caravanserai, and later through the 80's and on later he's been doing something worse, but surely not the SAME things.
HOW IN THE HELL Did This guy pass thru my Hands??? OMG! Hes AWESOME! I Read an artical in the New Guitar Player and hes on the cover ,And I Tubed him ....And This... AMAZING Player is just Blastig Me! AWESOME!! I am Sold...
i don't care who the best guitarist is. Omars music speaks to me and in a way that can't be expressed in words. music should defy terms like better.....omar doesn't create music to be on someones best list.
I agree completely. The difference between Omar and most modern guitarists, is emotion. Omar's solos are full of emotion were most others concentrate on speed. He is a true guitarists.
btw John Mayer is a phenomenal guitarist.(watch his live performances)
my 'own' top ten best guitarists of the last decade: 1 jack white 2 john frusciante 3 dereck trucks 4 robert rondolph 5 omar rodriguez 6 john mayer 7 tom morello 8 john petrucci 9 joe bonamassa 10 johny greenwood
tom morello was one of the biggest innovators in guitar during the mid 90's man... your horrible... although besides morello, jack white, and omar rodriguez lopez, this list is pretty bad..
nick hipa should be in there... seriously the sound of truth is one of the most ridiculous songs ive ever heard...
Omar is the most under-rated guitarist on the planet. He has been making music professionally for 17 years, yet only 1 in 10 people I ask know his name, which is a crime.
They need to release another live cd, or even a DVD, because live shows are never the same again, he does different amazing solos each time, which isnt even on the song in the cds
Omar's gutair skill is obviously great but his composition is what truely sets him apart. Many people can play the gutair as well as him, but his vision for music is unmatched by anyone...ever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is insane. He is not incredible on guitar, he's decent. His vision is severely overrated though, he just repeats tritones and effects pioneered by Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame. Fripp is a revolutionary guitarist, and I give Omar credit for following in successful footsteps, but I can hardly agree that he is unmatched or even an amazing visionary.
Hey don't be a douche. Yeah, Red has SOME similarities, but you can't say it's a rip off. I would even say that he is more like Frank Zappa than Fripp...
Never said it was a rip-off. I'm just saying they're very similar, and people accredit Omar with too much. Not to say Omar doesn't deserve some credit for his technique and prowess, but he's overrated.
Hey everyone, I see you are all struggling to figure out what does Cedric says before the solo. What he says is: " A ver, confiesa Omar" wich means in english "Lets see, confess Omar"
I can't get to a keyboard now to have a play around. But work out the E minor scale: it only has the one sharp, F# because the relative major scale is G... Stop me if I'm wrong...
This is part of Cicatriz and the bass for that at the start is easy because it's e,e,e,e,eflat(d sharp),repeat,f#,f#,f#,f#,e,f# etc etc. So knowing this might help you get to this part..
I'm not 100% about it being E minor now but give it a try and let me know how it goes :)
Study music for hours instead of wasting hours looking for tabs, I know it can get hard and stressing to find out how to play a song especially if you're new but you have to mess with chords, build chords, play around with notes and see what sounds right or what fits that's how you get better and not the constant reliance on someone elses work.
and then at the end, when you play it knowing you learned it yourself, it sounds sooo much nicer than if you learned it off tabs. All the more of the whole "put your emotion in your work" type stuff. I learned Asilos Magdalena myself like that. It feels great when I play.
I agree with jeianafa, although it's good for a start, looking up and learning from tabs can become a terrible habbit towards learning songs. First time I tabbed something out myself was a greater accomplishment than being able to play any song I read tabs to.
waajajaja ... thats fucking right..its " a ver confesa Omar" dumn shit.. omarcitos te queremos !!! omar es lo mas grande que a salido de el paso,texas... give your haannndd aaaaawaaaa.... amo al "mar dao vuelta"
DAMNNN! i cannot describe how much i love this guy. really. he's awesome,he's a genius. why you try to compare him with other people? it does not make sense. he has his own style, he is different. never seen such a creative guy, just take a look at the bands he played! he must be sitting all day with his guitar and writing new songs. thats so crazy.
music has never influenced me so much as this one does.
i love omar, i'm not a groupie but he's even sexy.. pls marry me,omar!! :)
omar has such great fashion sense and fuck everybody that say u cant compare him to hendrix i lux jimi and no one has moved me with a guitar like him since omar.he is so good his playing touchs my soul
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i luv part III....gtr s0lo soo sexy + i luv his style+ gave me goosebumbs...i know its not the best s0los eva.........TMV/omar rodriguez-lopez/korn/jamiroquai r the ONLI bands dat i rly-rly like....c0z i dunt like gtr s0los like in dragonforce/iron maiden/gun n roses songs....well...TMV...is da best 2 me....-used 2 be korn-...but den they sux now
music isn't about how amazing you are at playing the instrument, or being the best, it's about what is enjoyable to listen to. and i would pick listening to tmv over hendrix anyday. sorry!
I like TMV, but I don't Omar is a great soloist. Most of his solos are too low, and come off as background music. Very few of them have impressed me. You can't compare his solo abilities to Clapton, Page, or Hendrix. You can although compare his songwriting, bandleading, rhythm guitar, sound manipulations, and energy to the greatest.
I agree. I think that his guitar playing is more about adding something to the whole thing, not trying to steal the spotlight with big flashy solos (even though Take The Veil was amazing)
well, he may not be the 'best' at soloing, but it still sounds fucking amazing and every time i listen to his music i get lost in the song... much more so than clapton, hendrix, or any others.
he has an ability to make soloing not soloing which is his strong point, he doesnt need to kill everyone, or have to really draw attention to himself, he would solo just to add to song, not to try and be a god, and as for comparing him to clapton, page, or hendrix, it would be comparing be like comparing a banjo player to a metal artist, they are that different, really saying one is better is extremely subjective, their all great musicians dont get wrong
If anyone embodies a Hendrix sound it's not Omar it's John Frusicante. Besides Omar is more of a John McLaughlin figure with the riffs that he pumps out.
No that's true but to compare him to hendrix isn't right, cause they're two great guitarist with two different souls. Making two different great sounds. I was just saying if people are going to compare him to anyone it should be John Mclaughlin. Though Omar is his own man with his own style so I do agree with you 100%
holly shit, just listen to Jon's master control of dynamics! Thomas can play whatever the fuck he wants, be as technically skilled as possible, he's far under mr. Theodore's musical sense.
i for some reason dislike the comparison between hendrix and omar
to me they are soo different musically
like for starters omar never even wanted to play guitar
in fact he hated the instrument
and musically they both represent something much different to me
though they are both incredibly good
i know im only restating the known for fans but im just saying that i dont really put them together other than the fact that theyre both good guitar players
i agree wit u they r really not that similar they both jus play guitar in my opinion omar is way more musical not only for the fact that he mastered an instrument he doesnt like but he writes everythin pretty much for TMV and even has time to come up wit his own dvds and cds and projects an shtuff... omar is a genious :D
Disagree with me or not all you want, but as an aspiring musician and a guitarist I feel I should say the truth, and that is Omar Rodiguez-Lopez is one of the best guitarists of todays music. He has the drive and the psychadelic feeling as the late great James Marshall Hendrix, and the smooth playing that makes the notes cry as David Gilmour and Carlos Santana. My hats off to Omar for keeping that musical energy alive and well, he has now become my new inspiration.
Cedric's voice is trully amazing! The Mars Volta are amzing! Everyone needs to listen to this band!!! And see them live... They are even better live, even though it's nearly impossible to be better than they already are!
I hear a lot of Omar in this, honeslty, ok he has some influence and you con hear them but it's still Omar and he's a beast !!

DAMNNN! i cannot describe how much i love this guy. really. he's awesome,he's a genius. why you try to compare him with other people? it does not make sense. he has his own style, he is different. never seen such a creative guy, just take a look at the bands he played! he must be sitting all day with his guitar and writing new songs. thats so crazy.
music has never influenced me so much as this one does.
i love omar, i'm not a groupie but he's even sexy.. pls marry me,omar!! :)

music isn't about how amazing you are at playing the instrument, or being the best, it's about what is enjoyable to listen to. and i would pick listening to tmv over hendrix anyday. sorry!

I like TMV, but I don't Omar is a great soloist. Most of his solos are too low, and come off as background music. Very few of them have impressed me. You can't compare his solo abilities to Clapton, Page, or Hendrix. You can although compare his songwriting, bandleading, rhythm guitar, sound manipulations, and energy to the greatest.

I agree. I think that his guitar playing is more about adding something to the whole thing, not trying to steal the spotlight with big flashy solos (even though Take The Veil was amazing)

well, he may not be the 'best' at soloing, but it still sounds fucking amazing and every time i listen to his music i get lost in the song... much more so than clapton, hendrix, or any others.
sdfgshjg 3 years ago 4
he has an ability to make soloing not soloing which is his strong point, he doesnt need to kill everyone, or have to really draw attention to himself, he would solo just to add to song, not to try and be a god, and as for comparing him to clapton, page, or hendrix, it would be comparing be like comparing a banjo player to a metal artist, they are that different, really saying one is better is extremely subjective, their all great musicians dont get wrong

grindin' rawness, i love it, his pedal syndrom and sythisetical helucinegenic riffs from space

If anyone embodies a Hendrix sound it's not Omar it's John Frusicante. Besides Omar is more of a John McLaughlin figure with the riffs that he pumps out.

Omar's Omar, dude.
he doesn't have to try to be anyone else.

No that's true but to compare him to hendrix isn't right, cause they're two great guitarist with two different souls. Making two different great sounds. I was just saying if people are going to compare him to anyone it should be John Mclaughlin. Though Omar is his own man with his own style so I do agree with you 100%

holly shit, just listen to Jon's master control of dynamics! Thomas can play whatever the fuck he wants, be as technically skilled as possible, he's far under mr. Theodore's musical sense.

i for some reason dislike the comparison between hendrix and omar
to me they are soo different musically
like for starters omar never even wanted to play guitar
in fact he hated the instrument
and musically they both represent something much different to me
though they are both incredibly good
i know im only restating the known for fans but im just saying that i dont really put them together other than the fact that theyre both good guitar players
blackrain1219 3 years ago
i agree wit u they r really not that similar they both jus play guitar in my opinion omar is way more musical not only for the fact that he mastered an instrument he doesnt like but he writes everythin pretty much for TMV and even has time to come up wit his own dvds and cds and projects an shtuff... omar is a genious :D

Disagree with me or not all you want, but as an aspiring musician and a guitarist I feel I should say the truth, and that is Omar Rodiguez-Lopez is one of the best guitarists of todays music. He has the drive and the psychadelic feeling as the late great James Marshall Hendrix, and the smooth playing that makes the notes cry as David Gilmour and Carlos Santana. My hats off to Omar for keeping that musical energy alive and well, he has now become my new inspiration.
