BEE-BEE'S SONG by Sonic Youth from the SUBURBIA soundtrack tab by Chris Lawrence (silvercircle@shaw.ca) Lee plays guitar on this song, Thurston plays bass. I'm not positive that Lee is in EEBBEF# but it works. A SECTION 00:00-00:25 Lee plays his part clean and with lots of analog delay. Sometimes he lets the notes ring, but he often uses a staccato approach so the delay is key.

E---13------------------------------11--11\14----16--12-- E-------------------------------------------------------- E SECTION 02:58-03:45 F#------------------------ E------------------------- Lee plays 12th fret and 5th fret harmonics as well as B---<12>-----------<5>---- muted strings w/ delay B---<12>-----------<5>---- E---<12>-----------<5>---- he plays harmonics on the higher strings too eventually E---<12>-----------<5>---- My only issue with EEBBEF# is that I can't replicate the G harmonics around 3:35-ish. It sounds like he's playing the 5th fret harmonics on the BEF# strings, but where does that G come from? C SECTION 03:36-04:43 As the distorted E note drones, another track of the band playing the main C section riff is slowly faded up the center. Thurston's bass is clean again, playing the main C riff eight times. The riff continues but they come to a sudden stop halfway through, ending on the D# note, sliding back from the 6th fret on the A string.
