Artist - Sonic Youth 
Song - Anti Orgasm 
Album - The Eternal

I'd say this song is played with Thurston Moore , Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo all on guitar , i've got my guitar with the contour turned down to give it a muffled sound and if your using humbucker pick ups ( like me on a ES-335 ) put in on rhythm ( i just wish it was a gibson ) 

Guitar 1 - Moore
Guitar 2 - Gordon 
Guitar 3 - Ranaldo

For the next bit between 0.31 and 0.46 seconds guitars 1 and 2 will scratch the strings above the pick-ups somwhere ( listen to it to figure out the rhythm ) and guitar 3 will slowly scratch up the strings from the head

A tip is to put your guitar or 1 guitar if theres more than one or delay for the scratchy parts


The rest of the song uses all these riffs , work out where they go 

For chorus with the ' Anti- war , is anti orgasm ...' parts
