Tuff Knarl tab by Sonic Youth

Tuff Knarl
tabbed by mike abraham(bobbyblu@star.net)

tuning: EAD#GA#A#

how to tune:

tune the D string up to the sixth fret of the A string
tune the B string down to the third fret of the G string
the A#'s are in unison

bear with me..... i don't think this is right cause
it's a very hard song to figure out.
four guitars at the same time!
(i'm only trying to do one..thurston's)
i don't even think it's complete but it's a start.
this song is one of my all time favorites of sonic youth.

repeat about twice:
A#  |-------------- 0-0-3-3-3---0---------------------|
A#|-------2-2-2-2-0-0-3-3-3-2-0--------------------|
G   |-2-2-----------------------------------------------|
D#|-----2--------------------------------------------|
A  |-------------------------------------------------|
E  |-------------------------------------------------|


he's runin' on a tuff knarl in his head....
(lee ranaldo is doing some sort of harmonics in the backround i think)
A#|-222222222222222222-------3333333-2-0--------------|
A#|-222222222222222222-------3333333-2-0----------|
G   |-222222222222222222--------------------2--------|
D#|-222222222222222222----------------------------|
A  |-000000000000000000---------------------------|
E  |-------------------------------------------------|


A#|--------222222-0----------333333333-2-00-0----------|
A#|--------222222-0----------333333333-2-00-0----|
G   |--2-2------------2-h3-3--------------------------------|
D# |------2-------------------------------------------|
A |-------------------------------------------------|
E |-------------------------------------------------|


then basically just make SONIC noise
michael's music links said something about a certain way to do the noise.
i should ev' kept the message

i think this is the bassline that goes through the midrange sonic noise...........
