Sonic Youth - Brother James (cover)

[@kevinmyles6369]

Oooh loving this guitar rendition. Best one for this iconic song..sounds very close to the original studio recording

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Thanks a lot, Kevin. Much appreciated. And yes, that old uncontrollable and untunable guitar was a pearl - miss it!

[@kevinmyles6369]

@@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject do you remember the string gauge on it? Or can it work with both light and thick string gauge?

[@kitesproject-c2b]

No way thats an electric. And the sound world too!!

[@jzzpnk]

You totally hit the energy of that song! Man do i miss SY...

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

That’s now more than 11 years ago. Weird. But that old guitar was excellent in staying out of tune :)

[@jzzpnk]

Yeah, but the old bootlegs from that era don't sound any better, so it suits well ;)

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

True

[@nowaverocker]

A no wave classic!

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I actually did. The two guitar are in two SY tunings of course :) The EG#EG#EG# used in Expressway To Yr Skull and GABDEG the tuning used in Teen Age Riot and Hey Joni. There is a rotation mechanism going on and the guitars are being slightly touched. The third is a bass. I got a recording and I have upload it. It's a really minimalistic piece. A quiet drone. Thanks for the warm words my friend :)

[@jabbervog]

love your covers man! as well as the song picks :)

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Egor Jabbervog - thanks a lot! Appreciated!

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Thanks a lot my friend - I guess you can call it the zone beause that's really what it is even if it's on acoustic as well. I'm really glad you enjoy my videos and commenting on them - really appreciate it! :) I haven't thought of John F. in that way, no. I still have so many others to figure out which to begin with after the SY-race I'm on here :) Thanks!

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Monster classic. Check out the early Sonic live versions. So vital!

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Yeah, AH! :) Maybe I should do more covers again on electric. Maybe do them all again but this time electric hah.

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Yeah it would be something man.. I do some music with a friend. It's a mixture between different styles (of course with guitars tuned in various tunings) - I'll put some of it up here as soon as the things we have made have been mastered.

[@AdAsteris]

Yeah my band Adasteris does Starpower and a quite Sonicy Blackhole by Beck. You can check em out on our soundcloud if you wish. Ever think of doing some Slint? It'd sound awesome on that guitar!

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Si. Gracias :)

[@SuperNestone]

merci

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Cool mixture, I mean a bit of punk and a bit of blues - not that the music is a mix :) You are always welcome to link here - I'd like to hear/see. Why can't you find Jazzmasters? Wish I had the money for such.

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Haha, yeah I know how you feel. I've tried that myself. It's a drag when you can't really go crazy because of certain 'rules' when you just burn for some special drive or something. What kind of thing do you do on your own? I've done a lot on my own as well. Mostly noisy sound performances on homebuild instruments. Actually my profile-image is from a live soundperformance. You can find the video in my library but it's not the best. I got more though.

pura energia

[@bringbackthe1960sppl]

good thing there is squier jazzmasters now! look them up the vintage modified one

[@AdAsteris]

Love your videos dude, I always come here to learn the SY stuff, and a thing or two about alternate tunings. What kind of guitar is that, a Fernandez? It's pretty cool.

[@68redneck67]

Did you use that guitar in your sculpture "music box" ? Flawless cover :)

[@TheSonicYouthAcousticProject]

Thank you sir, appreciate the words! I'm only glad you find my videos useful. Do you play SY songs yourself? Can't really remember what brand the guitar is but I can check it out. It's pretty worn out though, hah. But it looks good I think :) Thanks!
