The Mars Volta Cotopaxi cover

[Seagerash]

Great cover, great sound man

[CrispyXR]

wow this is awesome!! but how do we know you aren't Omar himself? same guitar, and also left handed? XD haha

[unklemozart]

So... does anybody know the time signature for the softer part(bridge)??? i just cant get it down.

[spindleneedle]

wtf is that guitar!?

[spindleneedle]

@spindleneedle ah the description haha

[pupu562]

where didi u order ur gtr from ??

[magicbag6790]

try it without the music, than it will be a cover man.

[ChewbaccaAguilera]

I bought the exact same guitar yesterday and it came in the mail today. I love it! Amazing cover man. It's pretty accurate.

[juangodfrid]

nice cover and algo a fuckin awesome guitar man!

[DustTheFirst]

that was wicked the rat+wah combo gives really nice sharp leads im definitely going to look for a rat in the near future

[fiestapais]

That's a pretty sweet guitar, nice work.

[SpasmOfJoy]

To me, The intro sounds like a Punk intro. I love it.

[abarbar06]

does the fact that the pickup is single coil sized mean it has a different tone than a regular sized hum-bucker?

[SynysterGates777]

@abarbar06 Yeah it does. I personally own it, and it is silent as silent can be with a VOX Satchurator at full gain. It has SOME single coil twang, and twangy lows. I personally am gonna swap the PU with a DiMarzio Pro Track. The tone, in one word, could be described as bright.

[adidas331]

not bad homey!

[slimturnpike]

nice job, thanks

[lexhitreset]

where the hell did you find a black one?

[owenface1]

@lexhitreset when the orm1 first came out it was offered only in black, which is now discontinued, the current model is only available in white

[TravuhsWree]

@lexhitreset That was the normal finish in 2008 or so. He probably bought it around then.

[gofusiesbass09]

pretty good, i think the first chord on the chorus is wrong. it feels like it needs to be lower.

[TheWishingFish]

how do you like the guitar??

im looking at getting one, can i really pump out some heavy tones?

[dirtyurbangirl]

How do you find this guitar? I want one, but I do not want to order it and be disappointed.

[skynyrdo]

yes he turned the vid sideways u can see the peavey amp on the right, its flipped...anyway good job ...im bout to get this guitar u think its worth buyin?

[ValentineFenderUser]

big big cover dude!

but why is peavey nameplate backwards?

[franciscocanton]

Idk but im guessing he turned the whole vid sideways to look as if he was left handed, like omar

[vanillagorillafu]

I'm glad you both read the description.

[franciscocanton]

hhaha sorry

[frankiszero]

Great cover, where'd you get the guitar though.

[TheGabetis]

very good. I'm searching the OMR1 in black but only available in white. Is it a good guitar? Are you satisfed? Thanks.

[TMVowns]

why would you want it in black? seriously...white is sooo much better.

[TheGabetis]

What do you think about quality of this guitar because i heard bad things about it: that the mecanics are shit, that is a chinese bad production etc etc and that it is not a real signature one...

[afnumero1]

@TheGabetis I bought one about a year ago. The neck feels great. It kinda has a les paul feel. I'm into simplistic guitars and the body shape is badass. I got mine direct from Ibanez. The only thing that is wrong with mine is one of the frets is funky. but that could be fixed. It's a small guitar, but for the most part decent. Hope this helps.

[IronMan360]

The counting in the palm muted section is such mind fuckery. 7/8 time for the first measure then 11/8 for the second one. repeat. I cannot get my head around it. i notice you couldnt either. some ridiculous music by TMV i dont know how Omar does it.

[abarbar06]

whats more amazing is how he came up with it

[IronMan360]

He's like a classical composer. just churns out incredible music like nobody else. Pure Genius.

[varethika]

i'm about to buy this guitr.. can someone honestly tell me if it's worth it.? i already have a Fender Tele. & i'm lookin for something a bit heavier but controlable.. help?

[KISSIOZoSo]

MEgusto el final!!!

[DanDoesSongs]

Awesome cover man!

[MeurglysIV]

I wanna ask one last thing,does this model differ from omar's guitar in features?pickup,wood...or nearly same

[virgult]

use iMovie instead of PhotoBooth! :D:D:D

[Theguitarmansam]

nice tone.

[bizzmark03]

what kind of wah are you using?

[wisesatyr72]

sick guitar bro..sounds awesome

[nagash89]

great cover!

whats that noise at the beginning?

Is the guitar noisy?

[vanillagorillafu]

@nagash89 Hello! Thank you all for your kind words.

It is not a noisy guitar. My ProCo Rat II would be the culprit. Distortion at 4 o'clock will do that.

[xen0018]

@vanillagorillafu yo get a gate pedal.. there is one i forget the name but omg its sounds so natural with out the noise.. like butter my man! good cover by the way!

[LastArcticRascal]

Is it a good guitar yeah?, because im thinking of gettin the left handed version in white, ?

[johnwmaitland]

Great cover mate, just saw Mars Volta yesterday at the Big Day Out - fantastic act! Im thinking about buying this guitar, does any one know if there is a decent review around for it? Would I have to buy heaps of effects to get the good tone / sustain? If so which ones should I get? Any help would be most appriciated.

[Scumkill2]

I don't even know Mars Volta music but I like this guitar and I'm thinking about getting the white version. I'm lefty too.

[ihavenoname93]

the guy in the video isnt a lefty

[Scumkill2]

@ihavenoname93 I didn't read the description. :o

[fastmikebmx]

how do you get your tone so close to omars tone in the song? is it just the fact that your playing the same guitar or what?

[XguitarrockerX]

Almost forgot that I was listening to a cover. @ 1.34 I realised it again haha

great job man, awesome!

And I looove your guitar!

[MeurglysIV]

Why is this guitar so cheap?Is it about its cost to Ibanez or quality?

[JorAtGuitar]

@MeurglysIV only one pickup and volume control, not many features besides that so that cuts costs indeed.

[replicaciones]

si rifas muchacho

[DropkickCookie]

Nice!

[mrBrianlovesmovies]

AWESOME!!!!!

[CBarbosa23]

damn i wish you were lefty. im lefty. great playing.

[jaimey123]

thats rockin tone man!

[adidas331]

where'd you buy the guitar? I've been looking for a black one myself with no success. it seems they're only available overseas...

[theoseopath]

it's in 11/4 :)

[Kazzekagge]

I'm really bad at this. nice cover.

can someone tell exactly what measure this song is written?

6/4? 3/4? i m just bad at figuring it out by ear. a answer would be nice. thank you

[roddiedigital]

Sounds like the verse is 11/8 and the chorus is 4/4.

[gurra9]

About Photo Booth try to press *up arrow* *cmd* and *F* or just go to *Edit* and change there. That is, if it really is a *Edit*. My version is Swedish so I don't know.

And great cover!

[V3ryM3tal]

Very nice, the only video of this guitar on youtube I think. Seriously contemplating buying one and routing for a neck pup. Hmmm. I'd like to play a few but needless to say the local shops probably don't keep em in stock.

[reefmasabongkila540]

It's an overall good guitar, just make sure to get the frets leveled and crowned if you get one, the frets on mine were really bad, some were ridiculously low and others were a tad bit high, quality control sucks, oh well.

[amx390]

what speakers you using with the classic 50-sounds great

[vanillagorillafu]

Thank you. It is filled with Vintage 30s.

[entertheredfox]

chuck a JB jr in that shiz, best thing i ever did for me ORM1.

[chimerious]

Great Job! What kind of effects are you using ???

[damnitalltohell100]

i envy your guitar

[lostinners]

a beauty guitar tss that fucking guitar is great also omar yeah

[ChucoBabies]

what kind of peavey model is that in the back?

[mopkid3]

classic 50 its in the description

[LiamOakley]

what kind of pickups does it have

[dupper156]

Omar has a new tan color of this guitar! you can see him playing it in newer live videos.

[stratocastermaster2]

i think its just the natural colour of the wood

[dupper156]

maple isn't that tan...def. tan color. HE played the black in 07 and it came out in 08, then he played the white in 08 and it was released to the public in 09..now he's playing the tan so we'll have to wait til 2010

[menga111]

i like the white one i think. dont know which to get though

[therealkingfuse]

white one is the best

[ParameciumTV]

Great stuff man! how do you like that guitar?

[badboykane]

Nice job, I have that same guitar in an actual lefty.

Thinking of selling it soon though, not sure how much to sell it for though.

[joan2021]

Hey why are you selling it? I'm interested in buy one!

[badboykane]

Selling it as I need to cut down my guitar collection, it's one I hardly use. Comes with a custom leather Ibanez case too.

[mil182]

good cover man! i really would like to get one of those guitars it sounds great in ur video!

[vanillagorillafu]

Thanks!  I'm flattered!

[Bigassrobot]

great job! I love this song.

How's the Ibanez ORM1?

Thinking of picking one up.

[stratocastermaster2]

is the pickup on the orm-1 real noisy like a single coil with distortion? it sounds like it is on this video. i thought it was a stacked humbucker.

[vanillagorillafu]

Actually it is relatively quiet, the noise is coming from my Rat Pedal and my polluted and noisy AC outlet.

[Obviouslyasher]

such an intense song, with ridiculous timing., you make it look a lot simpler than it actually is.

what are the different timings used in this btw?

[joerobot32]

im pretty sure the intro is in 11

[irrabmaralekim]

Yep, 11/8 time. Good call.

[HelloSquiggles]

The tempo is around 240.

The verse is 6/8 7/8 4/4

The chorus is straight 4/4

The bridge is 7/4 4/4 7/4

I love the Mars Volta because of their time signatures. :)

[HelloSquiggles]

Sorry.. messed up the verse it's actually 6/8 7/8 9/8

[DavidEugeneEdwards]

the main riff is 4/4 then 3/8 (or 11/8 you might say)

chorus is 4/4

and that bridge part is, like you may not think, just

4/4 and then 5/4... but the rhytm is played in an unusual way. ^^

[hosway1992]

Woah you have the same guitar as Omar!

NIce cover bro.

:D

[GuerillaDiMusica]

Great cover man! Although I don't think he plays chords in the bridge part, just heavy stroked single notes.

About the guitar:

It's cheap, light and sounds great (if you like Omar's sound, 'cause that's all it has)

[vanillagorillafu]

Thanks! I was not aware of that in that case. I more of less just jammed until I figured out the closest thing that sounded like the album version. I am going to start working on a suitable review of the ORM1.

You are right about the guitar for the most part. I happened to obtain it significantly under retail cost.

[gslopez30]

Hey is it a heavy guitar? Cuz guitars tend to look big on me, and Omar is a small guy so I would imagine its light-weight.

[46lar]

I like how you flipped this vid around for more authenticity. Saw TMV in Paris on Sunday. It was mental.

[vanillagorillafu]

It wasn't intentional.

[TMVowns]

is that guitar worth all that money?

[carlos30793]

¿get to score where you heard or got?

is very good your cover!

[eddypalacioschannel]

lol @ pretend there is delay, i know how you feel man

[televalles10]

ha i was gonna get that guitar it was like 500 right?

but i just got a JTK30 jet king

[dupper156]

i wish i could play that :-( send me the tabs?? :-)

[fivesixkillers]

dude. nice.

[gslopez30]

WOw, how much was that guitar? It sounds pretty good.

[inmerit]

Brilliant work. I'm sure you're aware its not note for note perfect but there's no glaring errors and its really solid.

[vanillagorillafu]

Thanks!  I could never be as excellent a player as Omar.
