This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Song
Song: Sunday
Artist: Sonic Youth
Album: A Thousand leaves
Tuning: DADGBe (dropped D)
-Actually this song should be played in Eb(1/2 step down), but i'm too lazy to
tune my guitar down. Anyway it should sound the same.
-All the tremolos, bends must be made with the tremolo arm to create this
dissonant weird soud.
-I wrote the parts so when you read the tab you know exactly when the lead part
comes in the rythm part.
Gtr 1: Short delay, very light overdrive, neck pickup, boost treble
Gtr 2: Medium delay, medium distorsion, bridge pickup
~ wide tremolo
/ slide
= bend 1/4 (blues curl)
h hammer on
p pull off
* hold note
gb gradual bend
