Bass tabs
Teflon
The Mars Volta
Octahedron (2009)
Bassist: Juan Alderete
The chorus has very minute variations by Juan but they don't vary from the notes that
tabbed out. This should be about 93% on.
Intro/Verse:
(0:10)
Variation 1:
G|---------------------------|
D|-------------------------3-|
A|------------0-3-5-6---6----|
E|-----(3)-------------------|
Variation 2:
G|-----------------------------|

A|------------0-3-5-6----------|
E|-----(3)---------------------|
Variation 3:
G|-----------------------------|
D|-------------------------6-3-|
A|------------0-3-5-6----------|
E|-----(3)---------------------|
Juan plays variation 2 before the chorus.

(1:12 "Let the wheels burn, let the wheels burn...")
E|--3-3-3----3-3-3----333----3-3-3----3-3-3----333-|
Timing on this is strange. Listen to pick it up.
