I love Omar Rodriguez's style for what it is. His style of playing reminds me a
lot of Fripp except that I feel Fripp is a much more versatile player. Fripp can
play the randomness style of Omar (though not jamming, he knows why he's
playing each note and in what key the notes correspond.) Fripp can also play
melody in major keys very well (Perfect example: Starless.) Fripp can also
play blues VERY well and can play a very impressive blues solo (see Peter
Gabriel 1: Waiting for the Big One.)
Omar is a great guitarist and could even be very versatile but just holds off
on playing those styles to maintain the style and sound of TMV. |
So i recommed his A Manual Dexterity Vol I. where he experiments with acoustic guitars, afrocuban styles, soundscapes and many more.

That's good to hear. I'm definitely going to check that out one of these
days. I like Omar's playing a lot so I'm sure I would like to hear other
styles and see how he manages them.

EDIT: I'll take back my statement. He does ONCE in a while play a blues type
scale but he hasn't mastered a blues style by any means.

But there are 3 tracks aprox. that are only noise, improv and soundscape. Then the last track Cedric sings and you could say it's a mars volta song, but not.

Yeah I wasn't sure what you meant.
As for the Spirit of Radio quote: Thanks, I love the lyrics to Spirit of Radio
and think that quote can be applied to most music that is heard on the
radio. It's why I like it so much.

No.
There are 10 tracks, and only 3 aprox of them are a mix of improv, noise, etc. The 10th track is where Cedric sings, because the rest is without vocals.
