The Mars Volta - Goliath (Guitar Cover)

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.

[Grimace421]

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...

[aweyeahs]

guitars dnt make the guitarist u fucking poser... and hes at least trying... and if he wants to play naked with a pink hat why tha fuck do u care? mind ur own bussiness kid..

[thechene]

most decent mars volta fans would just be proud he tried.

you're an asshole.

[medicinalsnowball]

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."

[TheBruceExperience]

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 :)

[zainyolprospector]

What pedals are you using?

[nirv420]

ignore that part...

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

[nirv420]

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

[pengefikseret]

youre right...

[MystiFerdinand]

wow man, great cover!

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

[zwirbelwirbel]

well i like it.

[peaceandamrit]

very good observation my friend
