                The Disco Biscuits - Spacebirdmatingcall (live)

E|E|---------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------|| 

Tabbed by: Aceshigh616

Tuning: E Standard

This song is in A Mixolydian.  Barber usually starts 
off jamming around an A octave
with some other notes in the scale.  At Camp Bisco VII 
7-18-08 it goes something like
this...

E|--------------------------------------| 
B|------10---8-10-----------10---8-10---| 
G|----------------9-------------------9-| 
D|-7--7--------------7-777--------------| 
A|--------------------------------------| 
E|--------------------------------------| 

Make sure to palm mute the low A note and give a light 
palm mute on all the
higher notes.  After a short intro jam around those 
notes there will be a
transition into the verse that alternates Amaj and Gmaj

   A   G   A   G   A


E|-5---3---5---3---5--| 
B|-5---3---5---3---5--| 
G|-6---4---6---4---6--| 
D|-7---5---7---5---7--| 
A|-7---5---7---5---7--| 
E|--------------------| 

Here are the arpeggios for the verse; feel free to play
 with the voicings of
the chords but the ones I give are the closest I could 
get to what Barber plays.
Make sure to slightly rake the notes on the first 
downstrum of each chord.

At the end of the chord progression do the Amaj Gmaj 
riff again and go back
to the verse

   A   G   A   G   A


E|-5---3---5---3---5--| 
B|-5---3---5---3---5--| 
G|-6---4---6---4---6--| 
D|-7---5---7---5---7--| 
A|-7---5---7---5---7--| 
E|--------------------| 


After a verse or two will be Magner's little keyboard 
lead.  Keep the same
chord progression as the verse, but do more strumming 
than arpeggios.  After
that Magner usually has a little breakdown and Barber 
takes a backseat until
the verse arpeggios come back in again.

After this verse Barber has his epic face melting 
Spacebirdmatingcall lead riff
which you are fortunate enough to have tabbed out for 
you right here!
