I used to play Schizophrenia solo all the time, Thurston's parts and that song work find by themselves, though I never dreamed of trying it acoustic like that! Epic!!!
In a weird way, sonic youth getting jacked for all their guitars was a blessing in disguise. Its what motivated them to start writing their music on acoustics, and its why all the records after Murray Street distinctively sound more constructed and conventionally musical. They were written on acoustics which mean they must rely more on structure and melody rather than noise or feedback. Acoustic music must be precise. I often like to play Sonic Nurse stuff solo on Acoustic too, the rhythm parts, whether for Lee or Thurston tunes are cool solo-acoustic...
I really dig that link! Thanks to the OP!!
