Here's my attempt at Goliath by The Mars Volta. Not perfect by any means but a TON of fun to play.

All of the solo's are improv and really don't sound anything like Omar's at all. I mess up quite a few times during the solos but it was all just for fun anyway so...

...I also play a little to fast at the rocking part towards the end because I couldn't hear the damn drums. Whatev, I sort of recover in time...

...and my guitar tone SUCKS because I'm playing through a tiny acoustic amp that I can't crank up because I live in an apartment so...

  • Can you send me the tabs you used ? I got ones but they ignore most of the song, guessing the tabber was lazy.

  • I didn't use a tab. I just played by ear... I could try to tab out what I played if I get some time though...

    ...I know for a fact that what I play isn't what Omar plays but it sounds right for the most part...

  • Hey Grimace, if I were a friend and you played this song for me, I would say, "This is off to a good start, but you need to practice it more before you post a video of yourself playing it on YouTube."

  • They are not ruining the rock world. Effects are effects. With or without effects that band would still probably sound good. Effects are just a way to add feel and emotion that you can't get with just a guitar and an amp, or its just to add another form of aesthetic. It's funny how you consider this "ruining" the rock world. The rock world is not just 4/4 and blast beats. That's just my opinion and that is just your opinion. On a lighter note, GOOD COVER! check mine out in my channel =)

  • go look at my guitar cover of this song :) its the video response :)

  • What pedals are you using?

  • ignore that part...

    i mean E-7 9 9 7 9 7 9 A-7

  • i just got back from mars volta concert few hours ago. my point? tabs are soo wrong. i know a few volta songs and after watching omar play the ones i THOUGHT i knew exactly, he would play a few frets up or something.

    i know its the same note, but it still will sound diff...

    basically instead of playing

    A-2 4 4 2 4 2 4 D-2

    play E- 5 7 7 5 7 5 7 A-7

    then slide down to the E-2 3

    anyway thats how omar played it.

    btw dope cover

  • youre right...

  • wow man, great cover!

    planning on learning to play this soon, and if I get anywhere near this good I'll be surprised.

  • well i like it.

  • very good observation my friend
