Song: Sunday
Artist: Sonic Youth
Album: A Thousand leaves
Tuning: DADGBe (dropped D)
-Actually this song should be played in Eb(1/2 step down), but i'm too lazy to
tune my guitar down. Anyway it should sound the same.
-All the tremolos, bends  must be made with the tremolo arm to create this
dissonant weird soud.
-I wrote the parts so when you read the tab you know exactly when the lead part
comes in the rythm part.
Gtr 1: Short delay, very light overdrive, neck pickup, boost treble
Gtr 2: Medium delay, medium distorsion, bridge pickup
~  wide tremolo
/  slide
=  bend 1/4 (blues curl)
h  hammer on
p  pull off
*  hold note
gb gradual bend

Bridge Part 1
For this part the Gtr 2 is played with slide, use feedback, tremolo pick between
the two pickups. Gtr 1 plays main rythm with lots of distorsion
Gtr 1: full distorsion

No Picture SLUT Badass	#1 by SLUT at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:11 AM EST
	I guess I could have elaborated better eh? I was just blinded by this song, seeing as mondays are the best! pffft Sunday is a great day for anything.

No Picture cody Average	#2 by cody jay at Oct 7, 2007 at 2:12 PM EST
	"i see new morning yound yr face everybody sez its another phase ... ....see the magic in yr eyes" Exactly what we feel when we're falling in love.

No Picture Master Shaïtan Wanna Be	#3 by Master Shaïtan at Oct 12, 2007 at 8:01 AM EST
	Why is it that every song about sunday is good? Even No Doubts Sunday Morning is good, and the Velvet Undergrounds Sunday Morning is a great song. Luckally I experienced this song live and it was amazing. I think its due to this song that I have a new appreciation for sundays. This song makes me feel so good and it just makes sense that sundays can be good and are always good.

No Picture Alex Wanna Be	#4 by Alex Jurek at Oct 18, 2007 at 2:15 PM EST
	It's about a relationship where you only get to see the special someone on Sunday evenings. Everything is building up to the evening, that's why "Sunday always seems to move so slow".
