yes, my sonic youth covers are limited to the style, usually i am playing them on an acoustic, so the tuning cant be too far from standard, so I play most of 1000 leaves and Sonic Nurse, thurston parts, cuz they are essentially rhythm tracks. though my true favorite is to get on my amplifier and play the early 90s live versions of Schizophrenia too fucking loud for my neighborhood..

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.24.2008, 09:06 PM

Brother James, Kill Yr Idols, Mildred Pierce, Silver Rocket, and when I'm feeling like damaging my hands and guitar, Burning Spear.

I find that in order to play a sy song, another guitar needs to be present and so does bass, so usually i play along to their songs which involves shadow of a doubt, brave men run, starpower, pacific coast highway and expressway.

Teen Age Riot (I was planning to do a cover of this when I formed a band)
Candle
Tom Violence
Inhuman

The only I ever played was Brother James, on my piano. You can hear it on Sonic Gossip Comp Vol 1

acousticrock87 · 06.25.2008, 04:56 AM

Trying to play "100%" is proof that no matter how easy a SY song is, I can never play it like they do.

Brother James would sound sweet on piano.

guitar: unmade bed, cross the breeze, rain on tin, dripping dream

drums: dripping dream, unmade bed, teenage riot, all of rather ripped

Tunic, Beauty Lies...

[Sandbag] · 06.28.2008, 01:18 PM

i enjoy playing 'murray street', the whole thing, since it's all in the same tune. with the right amounts of effects and distortion...

i love guitar-wanking at the end of Karen Revisited and the middle part in Becuz... or the final part in 'washing machine'... mixing drone+delay+drumsticks across the strings

sonic youth's songs are good for jammin' over

Expressway is the only Sonic Youth song I've played.

I would like to play I'm Insane with some people, though. Read off the poetry.

It's Pacific Coast Highway. Funny how three of those songs make some sort of reference to a road. That must their "road song tuning."
