Pink Steam Chords & Tabs
by Sonic Youth
[Content] Song: Pink Steam Artist: Sonic Youth Album: Rather Ripped Tabbed by: Mark Wood (scopesAThotmail.co.uk) Guitar I - Thurston Guitar II - Lee Both guitars are tuned E Standard for this tab. However the guitars are tuned to DD#A#D#GG on the album and when played live. Most of Lee's (Guitar II) parts have distortion and lots of reverb and most of Thurston's (Guitar I) have mild distortion. I'm not 100% sure on who plays what parts but I've done my best to figure it out, it sounds pretty close but email me or leave a comment if you have any suggestions or anything you think doesn't sound right. Edited some parts and the end solo because they didn't sound perfect ;D Key ----- h - hammer-on p - pull-off b - bend r - release bend ~ - vibrato t - tremolo / - slide up (from/to) \ - slide down (from\to) x2 - play twice Gtr I [0:03-0:45] (Slightly palm muted) |----------------------------------------------------------| |-8-8----------------------15-15---------------------------|
