Silver Rocket

Song

Silver Rocket by Sonic Youth

(Teenage Riot coming soon!)

Tuning low to high:

ACCGG#C

How to tune:

Tune the high E to the fifth fret of the G string. Tune the B to the

first fret of the G string. Tune the D string to the third fret of the

A string. Tune the E string up to the A string. Tune the A string

to match the old D string (now C string).
