Telamon Bridge by Spoon Telamon Bridge by Spoon >From the "What's Up Matador" compilation (1997) Harry Neuman Songs (BMI), Matador Records (I think it was written by Britt Daniel) Transcibed by Josh Wysor Tablature explanation: \=slide down R=rest In this tab spaces are used to show that a note sustained before sliding or resting. (--7 \) or (--2 R--) Chord names in this tab are implied by the guitar. Ok all of you Spoon fans, here is the bass for Telamon Bridge. You'll have to listen to the record for the timing. I don't think that anyone else has ever tabbed this...

On the 6th time during the Guitar and Drums part, the bass does this. This part is played really fast and only lasts one second. You can either fret the notes against the fretboard loud enough that you don't have to pick them to hear them, or you can fret the notes only when you're picking them..either way there is no sustain. F#m C# ------------------------ ------------------------ -9-9-9-9---------------- ------------------------ LAST VERSE Then it's played 2x with the vocals and finally the bass fully re-enters. (The Guitar and Drums part overlaps the first part of the Last Verse.)
