Song: Transparent Radiation
Performer: Spacemen 3
Album: The Perfect Prescription
Writers: Thompson/Cunningham/Barthelm

Transcribed by Aaron Heisler
(gravitygrave_resident@yahoo.com)

_Notes:_ This is a cover of an old Red Krayola song.
 It is one of the best such covers the Spacemen 3 
 recorded on what is arguably their best album. Lovely

 song. This version (which is essentially the most 
 widely known version) is also called "Transparent 
 Radiation (Flashback)". Anyway...

 I've never seen a transcription of this song before 
 (or of ANY Spacemen 3 songs whatsoever for that 
 matter), which is surprising because once you get
past 
 its somewhat awkward preference for certain chord 
 constructions, it's actually very simple.

_Effects:_ Try a good phaser pedal. Since this was 
 really written for an organ I believe the effect of a

 long, pure tone is one which a phaser or a good 
 flanger can provide. Fiddle around with delays on 
 these.

_Tuning:_ Tune this down slightly. In fact, it works 
 best on a mildly out-of-tune guitar. But not a whole 
 (or even half) step. Aside from that it's basically 
 standard EADGBe (standard) tuning.


Define chords:

G - 355433 or 320033 or XX5787 (best)
F - 133211 (best) or XX3211 or XX3565
C - 032010 (best for arpeggio) or 8,10,10,9,8,8 (for 
    most bits) or 335553 (not recommended)

In this transcription I have said "Arp." in some 
places. This means arpeggio (play the strings from 
bottom to top).

For a C chord an arpeggio is this:

e ----------0-
B --------1---
G ------0-----
D ----2-------
A --3---------
E 0-----------

_How to play this song_
The time of this song is 4/4. The rhythm can be 
difficult; essentially it's made up of a three-bar 
progression, the first two of which are made up of 
pairs of half notes and the third bar is made of 4 
quarter notes.


Ok:

* Remember to follow the timing scheme exactly *


Verse:
G,                   F,     G.
F,                   G .  x4

G                       F       G
 

arp. C,                G
C,               G


Etc, repeated until the end of the song...

You can visit my Spiritualized site at

for 
more information about this band. There is also a 
guitar tabs section where things like this are 
exchanged but as this is a Spacemen 3 tab it does not 
fit...
