The Mars Volta - Wax Simulacra [Bass Cover]

im playing this with the correct fingering positions that i saw juan alderete use when they played in toronto.

incase your wondering about time signatures:

11/8 - intro/drum soloes
6/8 - verses
6/8, 5/8 - choruses

thanks for helping with the chorus but your bridge needs work

[joerobot32]

thanks for the comment, but know that i learned this not 10 minutes before recording, and that this is nearly two years ago now. it would be rather pathetic if i was still working on this.

rock on bro! that sounded amazing i love that bass line! you should record a video of that very next song about to play at the end of the video, i think it;s called Goliath

[joerobot32]

i have a video demoing my dark starred bass playing goliath, check it out, thanks for the kind words.

thats cool

learning from mars is awsome

There's always some jerk who picks a bit you've missed. Sorry!

Second half of the bridge there is a small bass fill. Pretty simple, with a little slide. Other than that it was really accurate!

Nice job man.

@joerobot32 just as long as you still dont come in late after every rest ; p

i have a feeling (and tell me if im wrong) even tho the guitar parts seem to be a measure of 6 then 5, omar is smart enough to write it all (and make it work) in 11. i only say this because he (assuming based on his influences) would be setting the structure (making it known to the listener) in the intro.

not that it really fucking matters at all anyway.

sweet bass tone

[phunkymonk131]

actually, scratch that. i think i got it.

[phunkymonk131]

nice playing man. if it's not too much trouble, could you do a break down of the chorus? thats the only part I'm having trouble with. or just an explanation would do. thanks.
