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...

Guitar and Drums part:
(Guitar: [F#m C#]8x without vocals.)
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.

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.)

Well, that's it. If you have any suggestions,

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 SPOON 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.
