  • Im sorry its an open A not a open E but if you watch some live vids you can catch juan doing the open A even on the recording just listen because its hard to catch...

  • A is dead right. The whole song is in A minor. But trust me.. there is no bass note in that section you demarcated on the album recording.

  • Dude what happen to open E at 2:05-2:23 but besides that it sounded good, so good that it made me wanna go eat a hot dog.....

  • I'm almost certain there is no bass note being played.

  • There are not enough stars to rate how awesome you are on the bass :-P

  • You are too kind. Thank you =)

  • Bass is so underrated, especially when played so well.

  • I believe this was Flea and not Juan.

  • This is by far one of the greatest videos on Youtube, in my opinion. Your playing is very expressive and The Mars Volta do not write very easy songs to emulate, especially with this particular grade of accuracy and precision. You make me proud to be bassist. Keep grooving.

  • I love your bass's warm tone. Is that a Warwick?

  • Awesome , u Rock man !!!

  • Hey man, loving the sound of that bassssee, would you be interested on an eband collaboration? if so let me know Theres a song in my channel called Monotonous Sounds from a Stupid Co-worker. thats the kind of style i want to do so yeah check it out! :D Its a marsvolta meets something galactic kind of thing with some metal and rock ...tell me what you think!

  • Amazing :)

  • I just got into this band and I was wondering why the bass player reminded me of Flea, come to find out the song was originally played by him. I recognized the the melodic nature of Flea's playing quick.

  • I'm actually at a loss for words,this was such an awesome cover i cant even describe it:D !

  • your tone, technique, and your accuracy are great man. really really nice job.

  • sick

  • this was an amazing cover! great job!
