what SY song do you love to play with your guitar or other instrument?
 
i have this weird hobby: i'm a self-taught bass player. and i'm learning the bass lines from "rather ripped", and my favourite by now it's " helen lundeberg". a great noisy-funky bass line from kim "kool thing"...other great bass line it's the instrumental "the good and the bad" from the first album.

Silver rocket.
Me and my friend play it and see how far gone we can take the song and still bring it back to music.

And the diamond sea is great fun to improvise with.

Karenology. Thurston/Lee/Jim's parts are all equally fun to play.

Oh and welcome to the board diskaholic.

"Schizophrenia," "Kotton Krown," "Sunday" and the 'boys-go-to-jupiter..." part of "Nevermind"

viewtiful_alan 06.24.2008 12:57 PM

Schizophrenia is fun. If easy.

Kind of off topic but can anybody help me out with burning spear..?
I'm having a hard time with the drum stick patterns (which way he hits it, when etc.)

HECKLER SPRAY 06.24.2008 01:16 PM

Catholic Block, Stereo sanctity, Tuff Gnarl, Expressway to your Skull,... are nice to play on drums.

I can't bother myself to retune my guitar often enough to play Sonic Youth, but when I do: Candle and Silver Rocket.

viewtiful_alan 06.24.2008 01:22 PM

You can play silver rocket in standard tuning pretty easily.

I don't play, I suck at guitar.

not really. it depends on how you play the a-minor chord. If you play the open shape it sounds like shit yeah.
But otherwise it sounds essentially the way it does in their tuning.

Polaris! My dad actually saw the lead singer play a live solo show in Glasgow.

At Christmastime I play the Bad Moon Rising album on my grandmother's antique organ while the rest of the family sings along.
