------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

Both guitars are generating lots of feedback and doing various obnoxious noise making techniques such as pick slides and crap.
