Artist: Sparta
Song: Air
Album: Wiretap Scars
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBE)
so much of this song is incredibly hard to hear. this is all i can figure out from what
i can hear. it is probably right except for "paul's little puss riff"
guitar 1 - jim

guitar 2 - paul
-----------------------------------
----------------------------------- paul doesnt actually play anything here but
----------------------------------- it sounds good if your second guitar plays this
----------------------------------- in sync with your first guitarist

guitar 2 - paul
it is almost impossible to hear this riff but i will make a guess
all i can tell is that he keeps hitting an open G, what he plays
in between the open notes is a mystery to me

| these lyrics are wrong, and i know this isnt the wiretap scars version but theyre still wrong. it really says "this scenery can fail CALM" also "what would the ODDSMAKER say, would the ODDSMAKER say?" also "were drinking ON jetstreams" and there might be more. cmon dudes | |

| These guys so kick ass! It is sad that At The Drive-In broke up. I saw Sparta in concert opening for Dashboard Confessional (eww), who were opening for Weezer! (yeah!) They so kick ass! My boyfriend got their cd fromt the concert... it's awesome! | |

| From what I gathered Sparta was created because the members who are in "sparta" wanted to become more popular and Cedric and Omar left because they "were" getting to popular with touring and all. So... if sparta wants publicity they will get it because they are a great and talented band. | |

| wow! :) a girl who doesn't like dashboard. i can't stand him now. liked him a lot with the vacant andy's and further seems forever, but now what an mtv prick. i saw the sparta show with dashboard and weezer at PNC in jersey. I might have been one of 5 that knew the sparta words, but they were so amazing. chris carraba blew, all new stuff sounded exactly like his other band, further seems forever, which is pretty good. So i guess he totally screwed em off. i particularly hated all the abercrombie bastards who were screaming the lyrics and giving him the devil sign. that pissed the shit outa me. weezer was very good though, a little too theatrical. Sparta just needs the stage presence of ATD-I. I miss all the jumping and energy. k later | |
