Hi. So I had a few comments asking which gauge strings for this. For all the songs except Teenage Riot, I just used standard gauge strings (Super slinky) On this guitar I seem to be able to tune these strings up a few notes without breaking them. On Teenage Riot, the G, B and high E strings were detuned and needed to be slightly thicker as they were too slack so I used a 24. 14. and 11. gauge strings. Not saying these are the best ones to use, I was just using whatever spare strings I had available in the moment. For more information on Sonic Youth tunings and string gauges I would recommend www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/tab/ as there is a lot of useful information there. Thanks for watching!
That dude is pretty passionate and it shows, I've e-mailed him to thank for his devotion to the band and their tabs in specific are hella hard to figure out with literal freestyle tuning
As a guitarist that loves Sonic Youth, I rarely attempt to learn Sonic Youth songs because re-tuning my guitar is a pain in the ass. If I had 50 guitars and personal guitar tech, I'd be playing Sonic Youth all the time ! :D
For me, the riffs from "Candle" and "The Sprawl" are my favorites from this fantastic album, you are not the same person when you hear this noise masterpiece.
This is really cool, mine would have to be 5. Eric's Trip, Lee's loosely strummed chords, and Thurston going wild on the drifter 4. Teen Age Riot, all the riffs by Thurston are amazing 3. Kissability, The main riff, and Lee's "solo" 2. The Wonder. 1. Candle, Criminally underrated, a near-perfect song.
Favorite band of all time. I've seen them play tons of times, and even hung out with them. You're the only person I've heard cover them that sounds right.
Great job. I capitulated when it comes to learning those songs. Mainly because of string gauges and tunings. But those are my favourite songs of all time, especially Teenage Riot.
You never fail to surprise me in a positive way. I was rooting so much for Total Trash! A top 5 doesn't make justice to the album, though. Cross the Breeze is the one I missed the most, it sounds like pure despair to me after the eerie intro
Thank you. I did look at some tabs on the Sonic Youth tabs website, though I don't think they're all correct. I watched some videos of Thurston playing live too.
My man Bloxsy, I noticed you play Total Trash differently here than in your cover (which is amazing, btw). Which one is the "right" way to play the tune? LOVE your channel
In one of my old covers with vocals I played it in standard which you can do playing around a G chord. This way is more like the original in the weird tuning.
So glad someone loves avante guitar enough to learn... i do schizophrenia, incinerate, theresas sound world and sunday a fair bit in my sets on acoustic with a boss oc5 to get bass in on the 5th and 6th... hey SY are no more lets start a trib band Chronic Goof
I love Sonic Youth, but trying to play them is always so daunting because of all these different tunings. I currently have a guitar stringed up for the Teenage Riot tuning tho so I really should give the song a real shot. May I ask what gauges you used for the different tunings?
I've just added a new comment about the gauges for Teenage Riot. All the others were standard. There is a good website for Sonic Youth tabs and tunings if you google Sonic Youth tabs, it'll come up

What's your recording setup? Mic, interface, camera, and such…. Thanks!
@@bonsummers2657 Sorry I've just seen this. I used a a Boss Katana plugged direct into my laptop using a USB. Works like an interface.
That dude is pretty passionate and it shows, I've e-mailed him to thank for his devotion to the band and their tabs in specific are hella hard to figure out with literal freestyle tuning
You are one of the few TH-cam guitarists that plays Sonic Youth! Really appreciate it.
And plays them correctly!

Candle is one of the most underrated songs of all time. Glad you included it here.
For me, the riffs from "Candle" and "The Sprawl" are my favorites from this fantastic album, you are not the same person when you hear this noise masterpiece.
The sprawl riff is so awesome
I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else play them and sound so ‘correct’❤
Same.
the more I think about it I think Total Trash might be the best riff I’ve ever heard… amazing playing man!
Daydream Nation = One of the greatest albums ever released
A cool guy posts a video like this, a king adds the tunings in the description
This is really cool, mine would have to be
5. Eric's Trip, Lee's loosely strummed chords, and Thurston going wild on the drifter
4. Teen Age Riot, all the riffs by Thurston are amazing
3. Kissability, The main riff, and Lee's "solo"
2. The Wonder.
1. Candle, Criminally underrated, a near-perfect song.
Unbelievably close tone. Have reminded me what a good album it is
Greatest album of all time! Saw it live in its entirety, too.
Candles Opening riff is so haunting, it gives me the chills everytime, Great work!
Sincerest gratitude is extended for your scintillating sonic video ,. Evol and bad moon rising are my personal favorite
you got insanely close to these tones, probably the greatest album ever made
Thanks man.
one of the best albums ever made. thanks for this. (also, damn, you really nailed the tone)
one my all time favorite albums. very nice job. hopefully you remember standard tuning after this session
Favorite band of all time. I've seen them play tons of times, and even hung out with them. You're the only person I've heard cover them that sounds right.
Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'll have to do some more Fugazi, maybe through on some tabs.
As soon as I saw this on my reminders I just opened up the video quick!
Excellent renditions and very true to originals in melody and sound.Can't do much better than these.
Great job. I capitulated when it comes to learning those songs. Mainly because of string gauges and tunings. But those are my favourite songs of all time, especially Teenage Riot.
great riffs. teenage riot is just perfect. and candle is totally underrated.
I just started listening to sonic youth this weekend and you just now upload another sonic youth video is such a coincidence and blessing lmaooo
You never fail to surprise me in a positive way. I was rooting so much for Total Trash! A top 5 doesn't make justice to the album, though. Cross the Breeze is the one I missed the most, it sounds like pure despair to me after the eerie intro
Today I listened to this album for the first time. and then this video comes out . Wow
So awesome to see these being played so well. And all the love in the rest of the comments for Candle is epic. Its probably their best song.
This brings me a lot of joy.
Coolest guitar channel on TH-cam. No bullshit just sharing awesome songs
Thank you!
The masterpiece from alternative rock
thank you for sharing in the bio. really appreciate what you've done here
Omg I needed this! Been wanting to know more SY songs I can play with standard strings!! Thank you!!!
Daydream Nation! Thank you for this video. My favourite Sonic Youth album.
Candle and Teenage Riot, man. So good.
This video makes me want to revisit the album. Very cool
I'm blown away you figured these out
Well done
Thank you. I did look at some tabs on the Sonic Youth tabs website, though I don't think they're all correct. I watched some videos of Thurston playing live too.
@@bloxsy_ so did you use their tunings or standard
Nevermind I found the video description
Awesome! Deffo the best riffs and I really appreciate you putting the tunings! The gauges too!
Yr a legend, Bloxsy.
Thanks mate!
La beauté des riffs de Candle.... Cet album est tout plein de guitares....
Superb ! Top quality as always 👌👌👌
might as well be a top 13 list instead
also a bit disappointed that you didn’t put the intro part for Teen Age Riot
One of my fav albums by one of my fav bands. Amazing playing, the tone is impecable.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful job, congrats!!
Yessss. Im here for this sonic youth. Content. ❤️
Thats awesome. Well done!
Brilliant vid mate. Loved it.
Thank you.
Yeah to Sonic Youth ✌️
Great job man!
Awesome album! Awesome video

Thank you!
Just Perfect!
Cheers from Sao Paulo City SP Brazil
Cheers!
Bloxsy you’re the best headless guitarist ever, love your job ❤
Thanks man! Much appreciated.
Great as always 🎉
Thanks!
good stuff. the best bit on the album is the trem arm sqiggle in the verses of Hey Joni.
Awesome, I love this album. My favorite is 'Cross the Breeze
Same here! Cross the Breeze!
Me too! Amazing song!!
This is amazing
Yeahhh!!! Sonic Youthhhhh!!! You make Thurston green with envy. Thank you.
Thanks!
Legendary vid
Kool. I only few sad about the bus stop.
Cool :) My favorite album!
O melhor álbum do Sonic youth
Difícil discordar.
Sí
Thank you!
These sound EXACTLY like the studio recordings.
Hey Joni deserved to be on this, don't care what anyone thinks. Eric's Trip too.
They’re both great songs. I was thinking more in terms of the main riffs.
Wow, thanks, that is cool video
Cool! I think Teenage Riot is obvious that would be the first 🙃
The silver rocket one was my favorite
nailed the tones, as usual!!
Nice video dude n.n
cross the breeze to next videooooo
kEEPUP
Very good! What is their the 3 best albums in your opinion?
what string gauges did you use for teenage riot? i saw the description so i thought i'd inquire.
Just added them in the description and added a new comment with some more info.
@@bloxsy_ thanks a ton!!
Idk if it's TH-cam lagging but I see twice as many likes as there are views 💀
It probably doesn't register until the view is complete.
That must have been fixed, because now there are a lot more views than likes.
this rules. personally I feel like cross the breeze deserves the top spot but that's just me, great video though!
Candle is so beautiful ❤❤❤
My man Bloxsy, I noticed you play Total Trash differently here than in your cover (which is amazing, btw). Which one is the "right" way to play the tune? LOVE your channel

Amazing!!! You’re such a down to earth dude, thank you for replying! ❤
We need a Top 5 on Polvo riffs
I'm not familiar with them but will check them out.
So glad someone loves avante guitar enough to learn... i do schizophrenia, incinerate, theresas sound world and sunday a fair bit in my sets on acoustic with a boss oc5 to get bass in on the 5th and 6th... hey SY are no more lets start a trib band Chronic Goof
amazing
legend🔥, i hate tuning every other song tho 💀💀emo is like when u snap a gtr string
hi does anyone know a good yt lesson or tabs for teenage riot. always wanted to learn thay
I love silver rocket
whats the tuning and tab for eliminator jr? ive been trying to search for it but the only one i find online doesnt sound right to me.
Why does Sonic Youth sounds like a classic rock band mixed with a 00's teen movie
Nice!
I like cross the breeze intro riff
Candle is my fav
You did such an amazing job, however 'Cross The Breeze is the best riff on the album.
Thanks mate. Yeah it's interesting, a lot of people in the comments mentioned 'Cross The Breeze as their favourite.
Yeahhhh
this is great. not criticism just a question--aren't there some additional harmonics going on in the recording of Teenage Riot?
Thanks. Yeah, there's two or maybe even three guitar parts to it. This part is mostly based on Thurston's playing.
I love Sonic Youth, but trying to play them is always so daunting because of all these different tunings. I currently have a guitar stringed up for the Teenage Riot tuning tho so I really should give the song a real shot. May I ask what gauges you used for the different tunings?

sick video as always, can't wait for top black flag riffs!
Thanks man. I may have asked this before but do you have any favourite Black Flag riffs?
@@bloxsy_ a lot of them especially black coffee, fix me, TV party, wound up, six pack
Total Trash is my fave off this record ☺
Placebo riffs please 🙏
fantastic!! what strings do you use??
Thanks! Super slinky. I changed some of them for Teenage Riot. Added a comment about that.
I have the black Vintage V65 Jazzmaster. Did you change anything on the hardware?
Greetings from Bavaria
Greetings. I put a buzz stop behind the bridge. Mainly to mute the strings but you can use other things to mute them. Everything else is stock.
Hello your vintage jazzmaster is good
Sensacional 🤩🤩🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
nice!
Sonic Youth are you're favorite Indie rock band's rock band
Is that a Tagima, a Squier or a Fender Jazzmaster? Just curiosity!
It's a Vintage V65
What were the string gauges you used on Teenage Riot?
Just added a new comment with some more info about that and added the gauges in the comments.
👏👏👏👏
