I thought the same

Такое дерьмо как Sonic Yuoth можно слушать только на при американском менталитете, или человеком, у которого вкус - говно. Nirvana - вот, где красота и международность.

@@PYRUHIN нирвана?? серьезно? ты выбираешь самую простую и переигранную группу в мире, а не Sonic Youth, одну из лучших групп 80-х?? с таким скучным и обычным вкусом, я бы никогда не хотел, чтобы ты выбирал песни на моих вечеринках. слушай настоящую музыку, ¨My Bloody Valentine¨, ¨Cocteau Twins¨, ¨Mazzy Star¨ а не скучую нирвану, которую слышишь повсюду. нирвана - это хорошо, но не самое лучшее.

@@PYRUHIN Хоть я и сам топлю за нирвану и она любимая, но ты капец какой глупый чел. Даже сам Курт восхищался Sonic Youth

Thanks! I know what you mean. The alt. tunings force you into thinking different for sure.

That's what makes them good, because the biggest inspiration comes when you don't have a fucking clue what you are doing and when you are in unknown territory and mentally sets you like you are a child that is drawing and doing it for the joy of it without being stressed that you need to paint like Rembrandt. Every single time I tried a new tuning I made 5 songs in a day or created a bunch of ideas because it's impossible to play those things in standard tuning. Sonic Youth is not the best example of using effectively alt. tunings because they were not abusing them for harmonically rich music because they would create simple riffs and melodies and doubling them with vocals in numerous songs and you can play tons of their songs on standard tuning without missing a thing. But, if you start strumming 4, 5, 6 strings and play chords not riffs, but chords, then it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to play that same thing on standard tuning because it's THEN when you actually start abusing that tuning, the same way you use standard tuning.

@@roljavi Well said!

@@roljavi cool! You’ ve inspired me to try it out! Im also a songwriter

there's no way they're perfectly in tune so why should you be?

Try keeping a floating bridge in tune with alternate tunings 😊 Keeping a LP in tune is easier. Worse is thebstring tension. Sonic Youth can communicatebwell with Soundgardennwith tunings 😂

Joe Walsh put out an excellent video on how to set up a Les Paul and keep it in tune. I thought for sure I was going to have to put lockers on my Studio, and ever since I followed his tips, it will stay in tune for days at a time.

Do you mean the band or KZfaq covers?

I@@TheOfficialCaseMade I've seen that myself! And it was entertaining as well and I also recommend anyone interested to check it out. But if I had one tuning tip that I have only in recent years seen made note of more regularly is stretching the strings. Especially when a new set is on any guitar and don't settle for one and done. Up around the 7th fret stretch them well, tune up, stretch again. I do it over and over until the tuning is hardly affected by the stretching anymore. It might take a dozen stretches or so at that. Even worn strings still get a good stretch during tuning and seem to benefit. Greasing the nut slots with graphite from a pencil lead also seems to help in the process.

Check out the tunings used on the first Third Eye Blind album. No matter how you feel about the band, the guitarist was doing some really inventive stuff.

This makes zero sense.

original.

@@whothennow24the joke is they use every tuning

Some are easier to tune into than others

I remember pre-internet and having no idea how the songs were tuned, it made working them out almost impossible! 😂

This website is very good has all the tunings and tabs www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/tab/

Thanks!

Yeah it's crazy how many they had. I think Thurston just uses one guitar and tuning now with his new band. Also that's awesome you got to see them!

Yeah, I think I read that they used to travel with 25 guitars and basses in various tunings.

The way it should be. One guitar for every tuning

​@@bloxsy_i saw him last year and he played one guitar, except for two or three songs he used a 12 string. Him and the other guitarist played a 12 string for those songs.

Someone should make a pedal that allows you to set the tuning of your guitar through a pedal, string by string. Not a tuner but a modeler just for different tunings. It would allow a lot of liberty to try the alt tuning bands

Me too 😭

Miiildreeeeed pieeerce

They’re the best

Thank you. Yeah those are great albums for sure.

That would be cool to do.

Yeah. They have such a huge body of work, might be fun to try some more obscure stuff.

Thank you. Yeah each tuning has it's own character.

You're welcome. I appreciate you watching the vids!

Thank you

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you!

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you!

Nah i can totally see the comparison between sunday and coffee & tv, similar strumming patterns

@@RealAsaMitaka Yeah, that and the chord progression gives off a similar vibe. Pretty cool considering it's in a weird tuning. I call it "Black Coffee and TV" 😂

Thank you!

Thanks dude

Thanks dude. Yeah, love Sonic Youth

Thank you.

Thank you!

Obrigado!

Thanks!

Thank you. Yeah Total Trash is one of my favourites.

Absolutely!

Thanks bro

Thanks dude

Actually none!

You bet me to it! Some of those tunings are savage!

That's a good idea. There's such much to explore from this band.

Yeah that's a nice one to play.

Thanks! It's a '98 Fender Cyclone.

@@bloxsy_ Cyclones don’t get enough love, they’re incredibly cool guitars!!

It’s a Cyclone 😅

Would be interested to take a look at their punk/alternative stuff. Any recommendations?

@@bloxsy_ first two albums
