GeneticKiss · 10.09.2006, 01:44 PM

You mean plays Sonic Youth songs?

I play Mildred Pierce and the riff to Titanium Expose every once in a while...

Rovetu · 10.09.2006, 01:46 PM

in standard ebgdae tuning?

GeneticKiss · 10.09.2006, 01:47 PM

Backwards, yes...

Rovetu · 10.09.2006, 01:49 PM

its hard to play sy on standard tunings...the hardest song i can play of sonic youth is silver rocket

k-krack · 10.09.2006, 01:50 PM

...they aren'tplayed in standard, that's why.
www.sonicyouth.com/mustang , click the "Dirty Animals", and go to tabs.

Rovetu · 10.09.2006, 01:52 PM

ya i know, every song has its tuning (must ahve read my forum signature)

porkmarras · 10.09.2006, 01:53 PM

A question

nce you've learned how to play the song very well what happens?

Rovetu · 10.09.2006, 01:56 PM

you feel well because you had your sy song in standard tuning,it isnt as exactly as the song but the sound's almost the same..you almost invent chords and all songs are unconfortable to play

I still don't get you.What is the point to just learn a song from start to finish and of all the bands.....one by Sonic Youth?I hope i don't come accross as being a pedantic person but isn't it more right to unlearn an instrument when it comes to this particular type of music?Learning a whole song by SY down to the(messed up) tunings still strikes me as missing the point of this band entirely but then..........

Savage Clone · 10.09.2006, 02:13 PM

Well, if you are going to cover a song, it only makes sense to do it in the tuning it was done in, no?

porkmarras · 10.09.2006, 02:17 PM

Sure but without putting a twist into it?

Savage Clone · 10.09.2006, 02:19 PM

Of course it is always best to re-interpret when covering tunes.

k-krack · 10.09.2006, 02:19 PM

Porkie, learning songs is "practise". You can't get better at playing music if you don't play something on it. Take piano, for example. Why do you think they play four hundred year old pieces? To get better at it.

porkmarras · 10.09.2006, 02:21 PM

Name a cover that has been covered exactly like the original that is in some way a good version.In saying that,keep in mind that i generally dislike it when bands cover other bands's songs even though there are a good few that i appreciate if not love.

Exactly and there is nothing wrong with it.It's not what i'm getting at but good point nonetheless.
