She's in a bad mood - Sonic Youth

Transcribed by Jan Kaspers (cords@dds.nl)

Tunings tips: The F# notes on the 4 highest strings aren't exactly

F# tuned, but slightly higher than that.

Those 4 strings are also slightly detuned from each other

to create that very dirty sound.

After the intro the Bass guitar bangs in with the E, and the improvisation

fun can start!

Because that's what playing Sonic Youth songs is all about: Improvise on the

songs (especially the earlier ones)!
