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)!
