Concertina - The Mars Volta Tremulant EP Guitar tab by AndrГ©s As we all know, Omar improvises a lot on all of his songs, specially live Tabbing out all the variations would not only be very complex, but also futile. If you want to improvise, do your own stuff. The song is in Dm, so youll find a lot of non natural notes (Eb, Ab, Bb). About the tab: the song is mostly based on chords, and you can play them wherever on the fretboard you want. The same goes for the notes on the verse. This is the way I like to play it, and regardless the position, I think the actual notes are there. Parts between brackets () are not always played by Omar.
