You've got to be one of the best kept secrets of youtube.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

I mean it as a compliment of course! The breadth of covers are overwhelming and your dedication to figuring out oddball tunings is second to none. I also love that absolutely nothing has changed apart from video and sound quality going back, it's always been the same dude that never shows his face or talks playing the same two guitars, wearing the same 3 or 4 shirts, against the same floral wallpaper background, presumably somewhere in Eastern Europe. Are you Jason Bourne enjoying retirement by any chance? Hahaha. I kid. But I do dig that bit of "mystique" surrounding you and your channel, "don't go-a chagin'". Say, the guys at Mastery should hook you up for your Jazzmaster, you'd be an awesome representative.

[@drawrings]

Yeah, but he did the tuck with no belt. Yikes. (I also kid)

[@ianlund]

you go low, not high! get some 11's or 12's

[@emilyfolsener1411]

Mine broke 😍😍

[@kyrpajyra_]

@@ianlund Exactly the opposite, you should always get lighter gauge strings like 8's or something when tuning up. Using heavier strings like 11's would cause way more tension.

[@brunolanger3294]

Excellent man...

[@daniilzadorozhnyy8950]

The official tab says this song is in GABDEG which you can only tune down to w regular strings. That is a really unstable tuning though and wrecks the intonation. Very likely they mix and matched string sets to work better in that tuning, as they are know to do, the guitar with 6 high E strings for example

[@daniilzadorozhnyy8950]

now that I've thought about it here is a possible stringing: 5 (A -> G) 5 (A) 4 or 5 (A -> B or D -> B would both be reasonable tension) 4 (D) 3 or 4 (G -> E or D -> E bur something about having the 4th string here would feel weird) 2 (B -> G) So you probably wouldnt want to do that since I don't know what other songs that configuration would be usable for

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for doing a cover of this beautifully hypnotic song. Your covers in general are amazing, and I've discovered several of my favorite bands (Deerhunter, Speedy Ortiz - Women!) through your efforts. You are part of what makes the KZbin community so great. Anyways, I'm wondering if you're a fan of, and might consider covering, some songs by these bands. - Built to Spill - Modest Mouse - Cymbals Eat Guitars - Frightened Rabbit Again, just a request - simply keeping doing exactly what you're doing would be enough: : )

[@mundaneallaround]

In this one song you can hear how different a time period it was compared to now. The future was open and adventure some. I feel bad for young people living now.So much fear, anxiety and doom to constantly be contending with. Best thing to do is turn of the news and create your own world.

[@jbrooks1348]

The alternate tuning has always kept me from playing this classic. Do you find the low E strained when tuned up to G? I'm assuming the D is tuned down to B, as well as the G to D, while the B goes up to E..again...that's a lot of tension. Great playing, thanks!

[@slackerVK]

There are no ups and downs, as well as no tension thing, it's always restringing with appropriate gauges, when it comes to SY.

[@jbrooks1348]

Ah, that makes sense, otherwise it would be a mess going back and forth. Guess I'll have to designate one of my lesser-played electrics for some SY jams;) Thanks for the reply!

[@lau2393]

what gauge did you use for that tunning?

[@patagonianratz]

Honestly it’s really easy to play and make sound like the record in standard. If 15 yr old me could do it, you def can

[@iamfrayer5534]

What type of jazzmaster are you using

[@BztardChild.]

What pedal do you used?

[@princephilip-v5t]

Fantastic. Do you tune the standard string to that tuning or do you re string the guitar with the nearest ? Seems so extreme to stretch the strings that far

[@slackerVK]

It’s always random strings when it comes to SY.

[@realniggashit6728]

[@bodeymitchell]

what strings should i use for sonic youth songs ?

[@slackerVK]

Depends on the tunings.

[@sparkygroover]

So from standard tuning to GABDEG is that higher in pitch on all the strings or dropped tuning? I`m guessing tuned higher from the sound of the guitar. Great video btw :)))))

[@leanelson8375]

lol

[@ApexGamingTheClan]

sparkygroover it's down tuned

[@eata55]

sparkygroover lower pitches on the higher strings, keep the A string at A (standard) and raise the low E to G

[@claykeibler6463]

Morning Roof so you’re saying you drop the high e all the way down to G (which would be super floppy and loose) and take the low e up to G

[@richiericch8158]

I’m convinced that the people who can play this song don’t want others to learn it also; the tabs don’t look anything like what you’re actually playing.

[@richiericch8158]

Please just make a tutorial, I’ll pay you😭😭😭

[@f-ingstupid4408]

That’s probably because it’s not in standard tuning

[@reesepoole7151]

what kind of guitars can handle this tuning. I tried tuning on my fender strat. had to get all my strings replaced

[@sentientsonicmachines]

Honestly they used Jazzmasters for a reason. Different trem system from a strat which will pull out of tune with any string tension its not set up for. Jazzmasters tank any tuning switches like beasts.

[@richiericch8158]

Any guitar, the tuning is GABDEG, the only string that is getting tuned up is your low E, the rest of the strings are getting tuned down
