xCross the Breeze of Daydream Nation (in standard tuning) - Sonic Youth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: sonictoothache Email: [email protected] Tuning: (from low to high) EADGBe This is as close as you're going to playing along with the record without tuning your guitar to a fucked tuning. Note: to simulate Lee's part on record you could either tune your high E in sync with the B string and play one fingered leads along with the B string or you could just use a chorus pedal(or a whammy pedal) and play the leads on the G string. I have written it out in standard tunning with a chorus pedal, but if you are playing it with the high E down one chord will have to change: xx4052 becomes xx4057. First Intro, Thurston clean guitar with mild chorus, strum slowly or fingerpick, but emphasis the notes on the high e and B strings. e|-5-------3---------------------2------0------------------------------------| B|-0-------0-------3------1------3------3------------------------------------| G|-0-(x4)--0-(x4)--0-(x4)-0-(X4)-0-(x4)-0-(stay on this chord for a while,---| D|-2-------2-------2------2------2------2-about 3 times more than the others-| X3 A|-3-------3-------3------3------3------3-you can also do hammer on/pull offs| E|----------------------------------------on the A between open and 2nd fret)| |Lee e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-(Lee comes in on the 3rd time as thurston is fading out-------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------| Second Intro, distortion, fast downstrokes(exact strumming not shown, throw in some crazy tremolo picking) e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6------9--9--9---9--9--9----9--9--9---9--9--9| D|-------7-7-7h8-8-8-8p7-7-7------11-11--11h10-10-10--10-10--10-10-10-10| X2 A|---/0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------x--x--x---x--x--x----x--x--x---x--x--x| E|---/5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------8--8--8---8--8--8----8--8--8---8--8--8| Thurston e|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------| G|------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6------9--9--9---9--9--9-----| D|------7-7-7h8-8-8-8p7-7-7-----11-11--11h10-10-10-----| X4 with band A|------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------x--x--x---x--x--x---\x| E|------5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------8--8--8---8--8--8---\x| |Lee- palm mute, hold on and bend up 1/2 11 fret on G while playing | 7th fret on A, then do a downstroke on the chord and let ring, rhythm not shown e|-----------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------8-------------------------8--------| G|-----------------------11b1/2---------------------11b1/2---| D|------------------------8-------------------------8--------| A|------x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-9-------x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-9--------| E|------0-x-0-x-0-x-o-x-o---------0-x-0-x-0-x-o-x-o----------| Thurston- switch to moderately clean distortion e|------0------0------| B|------0------0------| G|--9-9-9--9-9-9------| D|--9-9----9-9--------| X5 strum rapidly and loosely letting notes ring A|--7-7----7-7--------| E|--0-0----0-0--------| |Lee- use distortion(fuzz) and a chorus pedal. e|--------------------| B|--0-----------------| G|----------0---------| D|-/9-----------------| A|----/7--/10b1/4--7--| E|-----0-----------o--| ~ ~ ~ e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|--9/-8-8-8-\-8---------| x8, then back to second intro riff, the E chord, D|--6/-5-5-5-\-6---------| then back again to this chord.
