------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPRESSWAY TO YR SKULL – Sonic Youth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AKA Madonna, Sean and Me or The Crucifixion of Sean Penn From the album Evol Tabbed by: Jay Rangdale Email: jayrangdale@hotmail.co.uk Tuning: Standard I know SY use any combination of bizarre tunings but this is how I play it in standard and it still sounds suitably discordant. Let the open strings ring for extra disturbing spacey feel. One of my favourite Sonic Youth songs.Forgive me if I murder it. Its my first attempt at tabbing so cut me a bit of slack.
