Sonic Youth guitar tunings

Subject: Sonic Youth guitar tunings

Before Xmas I reviewed the Sonic Youth compact disk releases (Bad Moon Rising
and Evol) and asked if anyone would be interested in the guitar tunings
provided in BMR.  I got one reply, which I've lost track of, so here they
are.  The underscores and overlines are as they appear in the CD booklet;
undoubtedly they refer to octave.

So now, anyone feel like trying to covering cover a Sonic Youth tune?/
