Sugar Kane - Sonic Youth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Rachel
Email: rvandeve@mscd.edu
Tuning: Standard
*Note* I tabbed this for a friend I work with
because she couldn't find a tab that was decent.
I do not listen to Sonic Youth at all, so I don't
know if their album version is different from the
music video. Point is, I used the recording from their
music video that is posted on youtube, and that's where
the times I have used come from.

This section repeats twice, I've separated
it into two endings, the first section repeats right
back into the beginning of this section.

*Note* The next part of the solo is nearly impossible
to write out. Both guitars are generating lots of feedback
and doing various obnoxious noise making techniques such as
pick slides and crap.

The song ends with a note in the bass, so both
guitars kind of stop abruptly. E-mail me with
questions or comments if you feel it's necessary.
