Sorry should have mentioned the album name The Mars Voltas 'Deloused in the Comatorium'.

thats real easy, improvise in g

Pretty much. It just ascends the g scale on the g string, then he slides back down into the main riff. Look at tabs, theres plenty around.

A lot of the tabs are wrong, from what I've seen (I havent looked in a while though). From what I can tell and have seen from when Juan plays it is that he starts on an open D and slides up to around the 12-14th fret area and improvises. Like what the others said, it's in G.

A lot of the tabs that I've seen have the main riff wrong as well, here's how it goes...

|---|-------------------------|
|---|-------------------------|
|-5-|-5-5--5--3----------5-5-|
|---|------------5-4-3-1-----|

On the album it sounds like Flea hit's the notes randomly while when Juan plays it he goes all in one "flow".

Thanks for the info thats Great info I am looking forward to getting stuck into it.

By the Way I LOVE the way Jaun plays alot of the Deloused tracks live He just has a DEEP Groove, What a Bassist!!!!
