i think this is closer to zappa than hendrix

[kurtbarrett14]

Simplemente omar es increible es mejor que slash almenos esa es mi opinion

[deansusky]

Best of rock you get now days 

[makantang]

imma confuse , im new to the mars volta and i am trying to find the song scabdates but it all comes up with other weird results...is it a song in the actual album or what ??? help??

Omar has an afro and plays the guitar.

Jimi Hendrix had an afro and played the guitar.

... Coincidence? Yes, but theyre both amazing.

[ALLCAPSARCHER09]

I'd say more in common with Hendrix in terms of unorthodox phrasing and technique, namely, just really abusing the guitar to get it to wail in all sorts of weird, unnatural ways.

@shortfuse41 cliche statement but, totally different, hendrix is a master at blues rock, tasty licks and technique. zappa is more in the middle, omar is more of a composer and speaker of dissonance.

this solo is during CICATRIZ

[Tanga26927]

Omar tiene destreza en la digitacion pero ademas se le suma a su tecnica el ingrediente de la pasion vertida sobre los acordes.

Nunca terminara de sorprenderme Omar es fuera de este mundo <3

[brownyuio]

@babyslapmafro I think it's because the entire song is only Cicatriz part 3. The song cuts off right around the time Cicatriz part 4 begins; where the song gradually turns into a massive sound collage and back.

Um he's a lot better than Hendrix or Zappa..

[nidisha]

@tarantism Exactly right,man. I get surprised how people often say "he's like hendrix" ,because they probably haven't heard Zappa. His phrasing is got zappa written all over it... This is a marvelous "solo"... his confessing his inner self ... indeed...
