The Story Behind Arion Salazar's Zon El' Toro Bass.
Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel. Today is August 9th, and I wish original Third Eye Blind Bassist Arion Salazar a happy birthday with a video about one of his most infamous bass guitars built by ZON known as "El' Toro." Arion and I crossed paths last year after he saw my "10 Days Late" guitar cover and ever since then, I have been fortunate enough to learn more about his gear.
I wanted to do a video on "El' Toro" because of how special this bass is and how synonymous it has become with Arion. I remember seeing it a long time ago before the Internet was big and always wanting to know more about it, so I reached out to Arion to fill me in on the details which he was glad to do. I received some up-close photos and notes about what makes it one of ZON's most recognizable creations.
One thing I have always admired about Arion and original 3eb guitarist Kevin Cadogan is their taste in unique gear. When I was little, I was always drawn to guitars that were outside the box and not your typical everyday choices, and the first time I saw a 3eb performance I knew Arion and Kevin were serious about the sound they were going for.
I also want to thank my sister Paige for helping me put this video together. This is a one-of-a-kind instrument, so I felt it deserved an equally special video.
Arion, happy birthday, and thank you for all the inspiration over the years!
Cheers✌🏻

Third Eye Blind - “Gorgeous” - Unreleased- Full Guitar Cover #3ebguitarcoverproject
มุมมอง 33821 วันที่ผ่านมา
Tuning: For this song, Kevin tuned to EADGCF however, given that the only official recording of Gorgeous is a demo, the audio is on the flat side, so for this cover, I tuned all of the strings a half step down and dropped the lowest string or sixth string down to C#. The final tuning is C#G#C#F#BE. That said, despite the strings being tuned this way, you will want to tune them up a few cents bu...
Kevin Cadogan - “Painted” - Full Guitar Cover
มุมมอง 236หลายเดือนก่อน
Tuning - EAEC#BE (Main Riff) & E-Standard tuning for everything else. This is without question one of my favorite Kevin Cadogan solo tracks. There are a lot of great songs on his Thousand Yard Stare album but this one really speaks to me musically. The riff in this song is absolutely beautiful but to achieve it, you will need to tune to one of his most ridiculous tunings ever, EAEC#BE. Note, th...

Tuning - E-Flat Standard (half step down) It’s been a minute since I’ve done some of Kevin Cadogan’s solo material on the channel, so here is “Seas Are Rising” from his album “Thousand Yard Stare.” It’s a fun little song with a great solo, which has given me yet another excuse to use Kevin’s MJ Mirage GT Custom with a sustainer pickup in the neck.

Tuning - Open-D (DADF#AD) Back to cover one of the deepest cuts off 3eb’s self-titled debut, “Burning Man” which was written by both Stephan Jenkins and original guitarist Kevin Cadogan. This is one of those songs that sounds easier than it actually is. The rhythm throughout the verses takes a while to get used to as well as the constant shifting between clean and overdrive. Great dynamics in t...

Back with more STP since their album “Purple” turned 30 this year. It’s time for one of the biggest tracks on the album “Vasoline” which is an absolute blast to play. Bassist Robert DeLeo came up with the riff inspired by the turn signal of his car that he was driving at the time as revealed at a bass clinic in 2017. Of course, I can’t leave out Dean’s incredible soloing on this track and the c...

One of my all-time favorite tracks from QOTSA off their album “Lullabies to Paralyze” (2005). Josh Homme always has interesting guitar hooks and the solo on this track is such a blast to play. I remember when this record dropped back then, and I was blown away by this song and its music video. It was a life-changing movement as I knew I wanted to pursue guitar even further in my life. I hope yo...

You are so talented, man. I love your work.
Thanks! Lots of work has gone into these videos and getting the resources to make it possible.
I've seen a bunch of your covers before but never commented until now, but they're all spot on and perfect. This is one of my favorites by 3EB and you did a great job. I always love that part at 2:32 where it repeats the chorus again, "hold me down.."
Wow, thanks! It’s been a’lot of work with these videos but it’s always fun making them. Yeah Burning Man has always been one of my favorites. The chorus especially, as you pointed out.
You and I both idolize 3EB evidently.
The original lineup was a massive influence on me no doubt about it.
Kevin Cadogan wrote some of the most magical riffs ever. And u have his guitar. Cherish it
Yeah he contributed a lot to 3EB. Still can’t believe I have this particular Mirage as it was always my favorite. I got lucky getting ahold of another one his last year and then somehow got lucky again with this one a few months later. I play them all the time and they are my workhorse instruments.
Solid video well done
Thanks man! Appreciate you tuning in.
Don't often comment, but your covers/recreations are amazing. Your production and videos are great. Subscribed and Liked. :)
Thanks! Really appreciate that. It’s been a lot of hard work but it’s been enjoyable. More content to come very soon.
@@BDKelso2000 Absolutely man! Do you know if Kevin has seen any of it?
@@matthewh1802 I have no idea if he is a regular viewer or not but I remember sending him my guitar cover I did for his song “Chill” a while back which he congratulated me on.
@@BDKelso2000 Awesome man, thanks again for the awesome work and posts!
Nicely done brother!
SO FUCKING GOOD
so good
you are the fucking man - the very end of this song, after the pause….just unreal - maybe their best song - Cadogan is god
Thanks! Really appreciate it :) Yeah that’s one of my favorite parts of Narcolepsy. I’ve actually been considering a new guitar cover for it since I have a new PRS McCarty which Cadogan would use live for this song.
@@BDKelso2000 epic - i’ve actually started wanting a McCarty lately - Suhr superstrat generally all i play - the mccarty standard or 594 look great
dude this is like the best album opener ever
For sure! Blue is still one of my favorites.
No wonder I can't find an MJ guitar for sale. You have them. 😂
Haha I’m lucky to have 3. They have become extremely rare these days. That said I’m always searching for one so if I catch one for sale I’ll let you know!
@@BDKelso2000 I used to have an all mahogany one. Regretted selling it.
Nice! Hoping you can grab one soon. I’m always on the lookout and I recently helped a friend get one for a really good deal. I would imagine I am one of the very few people out there who still regularly play them. They’re the best👊🏻
Excellent
I hope this channel will be massive in the near future!
Thanks! It’s grown a lot over the last few months.
This and Eye Conqueror are 2 of their awesome songs that were only on soundtracks.
Yeah that’s another good one. I’ll have to cover it someday!
I also thank Arion for Interstate 76 soundtrack. I didn't even know who he was when the game came out, but I immediately thought the music was super cool.
Yeah that’s an amazing game! Takes me back to my childhood.
Right on Brett!! I got to see and hear that El Toro on tours. Loved it when the room went dark in prep for the "Jumper" bass solo...then the Zon neck lit up....totally rad!
Thanks Richard!! What a tour that was. El’ Toro is a special bass, so I knew it deserved its own video. Arion’s talent for the instrument is remarkable and he was one of my first influences when I was a kid. Thanks for tuning in✌🏻
Very cool, thanks for the education again
Yeah of course! Thanks for tuning in.
The is great. Would love to see you sit down with Arion (and Kevin and Tony for that matter) for a q&a session.
Thanks! Yeah it would be cool to do someday.
Very cool Brett, I agree that a Q&A with XEB would be pretty bad ass
What kind of guitar is that?
MJ Mirage.
whats the tuning of those strings?
D A D F# A D (Open D)
Great song with amazing lyrics!
One of my favorites on that record!
New favorite song.
Yeah it’s great! Hopefully one day an official release will be released.
Broooooo!! So great to see this one getting done. This has been a little known gem for a while! Thanks for this one 🔥🔥
Yeah of course! I’ve been waiting to cover it for a while and figured this would be the right time. Appreciate you tuning in!
2 good
Thanks!
Awesome guitar and playing
Thanks! It’s probably my favorite one in the collection :)
YES DUDE
Thanks for tuning in :)
I was wondering what era this was from but Blue fits. You're very talented figuring out these songs with weird tunings. Hope your channel explodes.
Thank you! That means a lot :) This song dates back to 95’ if I remember correctly. I spoke to original bassist Arion Salazar on Instagram about it last year and he gave me a few details. Yeah these obscure songs are definitely tricky to figure out in some places. I think the most important thing is to always do your research on a song, album, etc because sometimes it’s easy to second guess yourself. I’m very humbled by the response the channel has received. I never thought it would gain this much attention but I’m very thankful for it and hopefully I can branch out into some other cool stuff for the future. Appreciate you tuning in!
Perfection! Thank you for giving these “hidden” gems your touch. Kevin’s guitars are too beautiful!
Absolutely! Thanks for tuning in :) His MJ Mirage GT is so incredible in person. It hasn’t been played this much since he owned it so I’m trying to keep it going.
Did you watch Stephen's interview by Rick Beato? That was very cool! He even gave some props to Cadogan (if you know the guy, I wouldn't have expected that ahah).
Yes I did! Great interview. Was shocked to see Stephan on the channel but it was a nice surprise. Glad he gave some recognition to Kevin, even though Rick kind of forced him to lol.
@@DavidRFIT That is shocking! Are we sure that Stephan said that? 😆
Stephan knows the amazing guitarist Kevin is so ... If it wasn't their divergence and Stephan probably would say that Kevin is the best guitar player for him, followed by Kryz
@@pqmtlmYeah it was the fight for power that ultimately divided them. Kevin is beyond gifted and Stephan knows that. Given all the legal stuff that’s occurred between them I suppose he has to very careful about what he says because of the backlash he might receive. I think the most unprofessional part of the whole story however is how Kevin was ditched the night after his last performance with them rather than just sitting down with the guys and talking it out.
So true. Initially Stephen just referred to him as "the guitarist," when speaking about songs from their first album. He seems to avoid Kevin's part of the process for whatever reason. But I like to believe these songs speak for themselves. Imo, Kevin and Stephen creating together was truly magical, even if we only got those 2 albums. They are both loaded with lyrical and guitar gems. In particular, the end of The Background has stuck with me for all these years.
Alright Broski!! A rare 3eb song, but one of my favorite demos they have out there! Awesome job man! I just saw them in Tampa this past Thursday, they sounded awesome and it was pretty much sold out. I uploaded my first video which was them playing How's It Gonna Be.
Thanks!! It’s probably my favorite unreleased song they have. It hasn’t been played live since Kevin Cadogan was in the band but XEB did it a few years ago which I was so excited about. I’ll be in Charlotte seeing the current 3eb tomorrow. Charlotte is like a second home to me, so I couldn’t pass and this is the third time seeing them :) Thanks again for tuning in!
@BDKelso2000 I'm curious to know your opinion on Kryz guitar skills. I know Kevin C is a killer guitar player and helped write the first 2 albums music. I feel like Kryz doesn't get any love from the guitar community. He's been with the band now longer then Kevin & Tony combined. The solo he does on "Say It" at the end is one of the greatest solos I've heard in a long time. I've been to more then 50 3eb shows and met them a half dozen times. Enjoy the show man. The set list has been pretty cool this tour. I think the only song they didn't play this tour that they usually always play is God Of Wine. Make sure you watch Kryz when he solos. I think you'll find that he's a really underrated guitar player. 🎸
@@kdwoo1I think Kryz is a very gifted player and it’s shame he’s been dissed because of the comparisons to Kevin and Tony. One thing I do find refreshing about his playing is how daring he is to improvise all throughout a set. A lot of guitarists get stuck in the habit of playing everything the same and while that’s not a bad thing, it’s nice to see someone change it up a bit. That said, most people critique him over the fact he plays Kevin and Tony songs different than how they recorded them. It’s true, he does change them up but he does so in a way that works in my opinion. I remember when Tony was in 3eb, a lot of people gave him crap for not being Kevin and for playing too heavy on their songs and now they appreciate TF more. It’s the same thing with Kryz. Great player, just not given the respect because he came after two previous others who left their mark in 3eb. This is actually my third time seeing them, so it will be interesting. I always wanted to see the OG lineup when I was a kid but I’m 24 and was born a couple of weeks after Kevin left haha. At least we got XEB for a few years.
@BDKelso2000 you said that perfectly bro! That's exactly what I love about Kryz! I love that he puts his own little spins on the solos from the first couple albums. Very well said brother!! Totally agree 💯
Oh yea!
Thanks FMJ! I’ve wanted to tell you this for a while but that username is so cool. An homage to 3eb and Naruto all in one👊🏻
@@BDKelso2000 Haha Thank you! Probably the only person to ever make that connection. Your performance came out great! Takes me right back to the time when that bootleg of Gorgeous was released. That summer, I would listen to it over and over with an old friend. If you ever visit nyc let me know so we can track one with some 100w Marshalls, ac30 etc…. Keep rocking dude!
@@fallingmanjutsuFor sure! Thanks a lot! That last time I was in NYC was 2016. A fun place visit and also very busy 24/7. I’ll let you know if I’m in the area.
Ok looks easy enough. So this tuning lets you play more around the C shape from the fifth string?
Ok i see the way they wrote this. They like letting that open c and f ring huh? I really wanna learn this.
Yeah that’s the idea! It’s a wild tuning that Tony came up with and this is the only time it’s been used in a song. Let me know if you need any pointers and I can help out :)
It's such a good song, I wish they'd release a good studio version.
One of these days hopefully!
Love your work!
Thanks Eric! Much appreciated :)
Badass!
Thanks man✌🏻
this is sooooo good
Thanks! It was a lot of editing and mixing. Glad you enjoyed :)
I love the summaries you put together of the histories of each of the songs you cover. In my opinion Darwin has all the components of a Third Eye Blind classic: a groovy baseline from Arion, a brilliant guitar riff from Kevin and all tied together with Stephan's vocals and meaningful lyrics.
Thanks man! Those summaries take a while to put together but I’m glad they are a good read for you guys. I’m fortunate to have had access to all of that info and I know it makes the videos more interesting. Yeah Darwin has so many classic 3eb elements. I wish Kevin would have been able to do it live before his departure but it is what it is. Blue was a great follow up to their debut.
Mate you’ve gotta do tutorials for these every single one is unreal
Thanks! I have gone back and forth on tutorials for many of the 3EB stuff on the channel. I plan to start a Patreon group where I post lessons to those who want to learn them since many of my viewers don't play guitar. In the meantime, feel free to reach out via social media if you have it and I can provide you with a personal tutorial.
Cover of the live version please 🙏🏾
The Electric Factory performance from 98' is my favorite one! I'll give it a go.
We need a full cover sometime 💗
Coming very soon :)
Have you played in bands, Kelso? You’re extremely talented
Thanks! Yes I have but not in one at the moment. I’ve written a lot of riffs that I’m hoping to put on a recording someday, I just need the missing pieces. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later. My goal is to hopefully have a group together by the time I’m 29-30 which isn’t far away. I’m 24 now.
Freaky! I had a feeling you would release this today! I was playing the riff earlier today. Sounds right on!
Woah! That’s awesome man! I’ve been practicing the riff all of this week. Cover is coming very soon but I’m working out the small details in the song. I’m tuned to C# G# C# F# B E which is a half step lower than E A D G C F, the original tuning of the song. The original recording makes it seem slightly flat but it’s slowed down on tape which alters the pitch.
@@BDKelso2000 Fantastic to hear, I know you will nail it. I tune to DADGCF to play the song, I know it’s not what Kevin has said in interviews about the song/tuning. But I feel it is just much easier to play like that. Also the bridge riff section is kinda just like playing the God of wine bridge. Can’t wait to see your rendition of it in full!
@@fallingmanjutsuThanks!! My thoughts exactly. That stretch he does is impressive and while I can do it, lowering the first string makes it so much easier.
Dude I’d love to see a full cover of this!
Coming soon :) Really looking forward to it.
@@BDKelso2000 YES
Masterpiece
Who else sang the intro out loud at the end?
