for all of you saying omar can't play in key and all that nonsense you need to open your minds no joke. and check this out especially the solo at the end. amazing. watch?v=m6ZgytCOBw8
well the three of them are all huge captain beefheart fans, where the first jam comes from, and in general they all do equally complex things. omar just wears his prog on his sleeves with tmv. i'm pretty sure john sits in his room transcribing aphex twin songs all day, anyhow.
It's frustrating seeing these videos and seeing people expecting Televators pt. 2 when they watch. The organic interaction between the three instruments is quite beautiful.
Omar definitely has played better things. The early ehh... 'solo'? after the break in this is pretty crappy I gotta say. I'm a huge fan of TMV but sometimes Omar really does just throw it out the window, it would have probably sounded a bit better if he didn't do a lot of separate, odd sounding bits and could string them together, but it really did sound like one of those shitty "(band name) SHREDS" spoof videos. Especially with the flurry of bass in the background.
I love how a bunch of no talented ass clowns are telling Omar how to play guitar .. like The Mars Volta don't sell out arenas or anything... Get your own band and do something you fucking tools!!!!
@CrazyCow500 i love it when people get upset for not understanding... they are playing nonsense and calling it music? yeah that's exactly what's happening right here
I have to say i didn't like it that much either. I only liked the part at 6:00 . Thing is Omar plays theoretically nice music. Basically music for theory nerds. I did some study in music and this is the result pretty much. Modern (atonal) music sounds like this. I personally don't enjoy it. It doesn't give me the feeling melodic music does. I find modern music to be very dull. Well. Here we are i guess. I understand your point but it isn't nonsense. It's just different. Not always in a good way
@WannabeFruFru i was being sarcastic in response to what crazycow500 said about them playing nonsense and calling it music.. i actually enjoyed it very much.. i think omar is one of the most creative guitarist of our times, thus always innovating.. what happens when people constantly innovate? they can be misunderstood.. and that's exactly when people that don't know what they're talking about (like crazycow) thinks they are playing nonsense.. i'm glad that you understand..
@WannabeFruFru omar actually knows nothing about music theory, he does it all by ear and feel, which explains how he breaks so many rules and is not very consistent
Possible, i dont know omar that much. but i know modern music is all about inconsistency . I got mixed up. It could be that omar like this kind of music and replicates them the way he hears it. Because a lot of self taught artists are very melodic. They emulate what they like to hear or rather what they want to hear.
WTF is Omar playing? is good to play outside but this sounds like one of those "shred videos". Omar is trying to play like a fusion guy but he doesn't know how to release the tension ala Scofield.
I really like Omar's playing, his solo's sound glitchy and weird like IDM or something. Nice to see some rock musicians breaking the generic rock sound..... which lets face it, is getting pretty lame
Well I dig Omar's input during this jam. Flea and John obviously vibe with him too, I mean they are performing with him. I doubt any of the Omar haters in this comment section will ever have the pleasure to do so. Improvisation is improvisation, no need to get weird about it.
im not really into dissonant music i like melody a lot, im not saying that people just pretend to like music thats all dissonant i used to think that sort of because it sounds awful to me. i want to hear some beautiful melodies like frusciante around 6:15. but that's just me i suppose it's all taste in the end.. there's not really good or bad. i loved part 1 of this jam though, and this is interesting but not my cup of tea
Fuck he better go and play with volta!!!! To long to write lol seriiusly hes so good there but he sucks at improvisation he does the same 5 licks for 10 min im not a hater but i like to be real .rhcp amazing
it also seems like every note in omars solo is out of key, which is impressive for resisting to fall into key seeing as he's clearly more than capable
@TheArcbuilding jealous much? im the guy who repeatedly screams "yeah!". there is no comparison to listening them through their custom vintage equipment
@frusciantefan69 they worked hard on this shit while they were on tour together. they were gonna put out a record, but like most things, never happened...
The playing out of key stuff developed in the 60's w/ the experimental psycadelic music , if i'm correct. Omar does a lot of that. Hearing him play live on these videos makes u feel like youre in a different decade. --- in a good way.
im the guy yelling "YEEAAHHH!" after every dope ass change. this was on or around fleas bday cus they brought in a cake and sang happy birthday to him. they stuck around and talked to people a bit. omar's brother marcel was there too. this was arranged by chuck dukoski black flag's og bass player. as of yet a once in a lifetime type deal
@k0stil i cant tell if youre complimenting him or saying he sucks, cuz in the video you included he plays pretty damn well and in key the whole time except for in the middle for like 2 secs
I love the way he plays, its really crpytic and erie... You can hear it in ATDI and TMV quite distinctly, I thing its really what makes a LOT of their sound (both)
Fuck. If they don´t like Omar´s playing, they don´t. Period. It´s not because they´re some dumb people or "they can´t understand those dissonant notes". It just doesn´t sound good to some ears. I personally don´t like it either. But I love John and Flea.
@tweenboxyeah but you can learn to enjoy it, it doesn't even take much. appreciation of music is somewhat acquired over years ... I mean when i was 13 all i listened to was punk music .. and now i can appreciate and love music by Schoenberg. you know how boring music would be if it was ALL on the major scale and each note placed on the beat? I mean, composers basically threw out the regular triad harmonies and major scales like 200 years ago...and thats still what most people today like.

i dont care wut u call it, "off notes" or wutever, omar has no solos! his improv isn't pleasant to the ear. i think flea and john are just being nice about it. but other than that he's kool!

@qwerrik There you go....you're speaking about him based on one performance how many years ago, nearly a decade now. For a self taught musician, he has composed way better music, and has played way better songs than many trained musicians I know. Check out the song 'Tetragrammaton', its a 16 minute monolith of a song, and it was all brilliantly composed, and played by him, with a breathtaking solo at the end. And he CAN play live jams, he just sucked in this one, mostly cuz he was out of key.

@k0stil Exactly. Sometimes he plays in the "right" key, but then it sounds a bit boring. You have to know what you are doing to hit all of those tri tones and weird intervals, that shit isn't just chance. That's what makes him sound like him.
i hate it when people think that mars volta, suck live. the way omar plays his dissonant notes (which un informed people think are off notes) is so unique and very few have an open intellectual mind to just let it all go. omar play's a guitar backwards pretty much.
yeah man .......not everything has to sound the same......check out mars volta ....its like a beatiful melody meets anarchy in sound and it coexists ...
Omar's got creativity where John's got technique. Naturally they'd gravitate toward each other - you can tell how much they're loving it. Three of the most unique musicians out there,
dude first off all Omar said that he didnt know music theory he just plays, so hes not purposly playing out of key, if he is at all second, it sounds badass, and third go fuck yourself lol
@CrazyCow500 dude you mentally challenged, he doesnt use it as an excuse he has just said before that hes never been taught music theory, besides he isnt playing out of key, hes playing accidentals of the scales hes going through, he does understand scales and what notes work together but he doesnt care, He and many other people love his sound, so clearly he doesnt sound like shit.
@EvanTheMute accidentals are not diatonic. You dont have to be taught theory or know scales to stay in key. I will admit that hitting accidentals can be cool when done tastefully. I'm sure there are a lot of people that enjoy it but I can guarantee there are more that dont.
@CrazyCow500 I guess i cant fight you on that, but still, clearly John Frusciante likes omars style cause hes been doin work with him for years, and they just released thier own album together..
@EvanTheMute John is def eclectic. He's the reason I started playing and he proves that he has a very tasteful ear, I mean dude has written some of the most epic rock riffs/solos of all time. But for some reason I feel as if his obsession with Omar is more to do with energy than it is with music. I mean I've heard Omar play some pretty rad shit but stuff like this just throws me off. I can understand tryin to leap into uncharted territory but sometimes that has to just stay in the studio.
no, its not. that is an SG II or junior, if my memory serves me. but i am pretty sure it is an SG (not a standard one of course). though omar typically plays modified ibanez jet kings now, he used a gibson for this little gig and has used it on past recordings. also used a squier supersonic back in the day. omar typically likes only bridge pups (particularly the seymour duncan jb, which i also use in my bridge).
This is soooooo amazing. i used to listen to this in college when i needed to focus and write essays. these 3 men are gifted in a way that i will never see in any other person. ten thumbs up!

I mean you dont listen to someone who plays bad with the excuse of not havin taken any lessons i'm i right? i Havent heard much of his work so I can't say if his any good in general,but if he can't play live jams, who cares why, he just should'nt.

he can play in key

@k0stil Exactly. Sometimes he plays in the "right" key, but then it sounds a bit boring. You have to know what you are doing to hit all of those tri tones and weird intervals, that shit isn't just chance. That's what makes him sound like him.

i hate it when people think that mars volta, suck live. the way omar plays his dissonant notes (which un informed people think are off notes) is so unique and very few have an open intellectual mind to just let it all go. omar play's a guitar backwards pretty much.

omar has this fearless ingenuity with his playing, while john crafts a beautifull smooth melody with his.

Omar Rodriguez's brash tone and almost Sun Ra type phrasing in his soloing makes for mindblowing neo-jazz.

Omar's got creativity where John's got technique. Naturally they'd gravitate toward each other - you can tell how much they're loving it. Three of the most unique musicians out there,

dude first off all Omar said that he didnt know music theory he just plays, so hes not purposly playing out of key, if he is at all second, it sounds badass, and third go fuck yourself lol
Jkamria014 1 year ago 2
@Jkamria014 since when was not knowing theory an excuse to play bad music. Playing out of key sounds like shit and Omar sounds like shit.
CrazyCow500 1 year ago
@CrazyCow500 dude you mentally challenged, he doesnt use it as an excuse he has just said before that hes never been taught music theory, besides he isnt playing out of key, hes playing accidentals of the scales hes going through, he does understand scales and what notes work together but he doesnt care, He and many other people love his sound, so clearly he doesnt sound like shit.
EvanTheMute 1 year ago
@EvanTheMute accidentals are not diatonic. You dont have to be taught theory or know scales to stay in key. I will admit that hitting accidentals can be cool when done tastefully. I'm sure there are a lot of people that enjoy it but I can guarantee there are more that dont.
CrazyCow500 1 year ago
@CrazyCow500 I guess i cant fight you on that, but still, clearly John Frusciante likes omars style cause hes been doin work with him for years, and they just released thier own album together..
EvanTheMute 1 year ago
@EvanTheMute John is def eclectic. He's the reason I started playing and he proves that he has a very tasteful ear, I mean dude has written some of the most epic rock riffs/solos of all time. But for some reason I feel as if his obsession with Omar is more to do with energy than it is with music. I mean I've heard Omar play some pretty rad shit but stuff like this just throws me off. I can understand tryin to leap into uncharted territory but sometimes that has to just stay in the studio.

no, its not. that is an SG II or junior, if my memory serves me. but i am pretty sure it is an SG (not a standard one of course). though omar typically plays modified ibanez jet kings now, he used a gibson for this little gig and has used it on past recordings. also used a squier supersonic back in the day. omar typically likes only bridge pups (particularly the seymour duncan jb, which i also use in my bridge).
