Wax Simulacra
Mars Volta
Text File
This is my try of Wax Simulcra, I'm not really sure, the tabs presented here are not
correct, but I'm sure mine is neither, but maybe there are some things I've heard out
Big Problem is: two guitars and a lot of distortion : / I also checked some live-vids
the chorus and the bridge part, but the bridge is really really hard to hear out, and omar
plays it differently live... so get down with some own improvisation

Bridge
Improvise with these Chords and have fun with the 32ths! (>) the notes in brackets ()
optionally, but omar plays them live.
Not sure about the D5, but it's pretty close...
