SPIDERBAIT - "Calypso" Tablature
Official SPIDERBAIT Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist: Spiderbait
Song: Calypso
Riff 1 (played 1st and 3rd times):
e---0--------2--------0--------2-----
B-----2--------3--------0--------3---
G-2-----2--2-----2--1-----1--2-----2-
D------------------------------------
A------------------------------------
E------------------------------------
The above riff is played with pick and the 2nd (middle) and
3rd (ring) fingers such that the pick plays the G string, the
2nd finger the B string and the 3rd finger the e string.
Alternatively, you could use just fingers with thumb, index
and middle fingers but it makes changing to chords difficult.

Whit often doesn't play the above riff live but just strums the chords.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SPIDERBAIT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
