SECRET GIRL aloha...uh, during the first half of secret girl (evol vers.) the percussive clangs are created by cranking the reverb + volume on the amp to full, muting the strings, and smacking them very hard. the second instrumental part is actually a piano recorded to cassette and slowed down. sy would play this tape thru their amps and make noise along w/ it during live performances. ------------------------------------------------ THE SONIC YOUTH GUITAR/BASS TABLATURE ARCHIVE: http://www.islandnet.com/~mustang/tab/index.html ------------------------------------------------
