Sonic Youth - Heather Angel guitar tab
HEATHER ANGEL
Guitar tab by Chris Lawrence.
This is Thurston's part, which is in CGDGBB. I'll tab a bit of Kim's
'part' too (which is basically just random noise making, plus a dual
note staccato at the end). I only know Lee's verse notes, at the end
he's doing some really high thing but it's quite buried.
intro:
B--5-5------5-5-----
B--6-6------6-6-----
G------7-7------7-7-
D------7-7------7-7- X 2
G-------------------
C-------------------
(notes on D string are optional)
then the phaser comes on:
B------------3-----
B-------4------4--- (repeat w/ variations)
G---------5------5-
D--5-5-------------
G------------------
C------------------
And of course, those two riffs cycle over and over back and forth until
the break comes, where Kim's guitar may or may not enter, playing slight
bits of noise, while Thurston literally hammers away at his guitar
(excellent live!). And Lee just has his own fun, too.
During the intro/verse, Lee plays these notes w/ some kind of
echo/phase/delay effect:
A---------------------------
G---------------------------
A--8---/5----3-5-6--5--3--
D---------------------------
G---------------------------
G---------------------------
After that part, the big rock section begins:
D--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----- (notes on D string optional)
G--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----
C--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-etc-
over that, kim plays, in CGGDDD:
D--12-12-12---12-12-12--12-12-12---etc --15-15-15-15--15-15-15-- -12-12-12-
D--12-12-12---12-12-12--12-12-12---etc --15-15-15-15--15-15-15-- -12-12-12-
D--12-12-12---12-12-12--12-12-12---etc --15-15-15-15--15-15-15-- -12-12-12-
then thurston goes up:
D--10--10--10-10-10-12-12--12-12-12-
G--10--10--10-10-10-12-12--12-12-12-
C--10--10--10-10-10-12-12--12-12-12-
Basically, all the guitars mesh together into a noisy climax. yee haw!
