I’ve got to say I blame Thurston Moore and his Sonic Youth for making me think about instruments as a paint brush versus notes. Can’t say I ever dared to invent or play weird guitar tunings, except for the occasional drop “D” but I often enjoy working with a simple palette. Even a single not solo works for me. Anyway here’s a few tunes by the 99th best guitarists ever as noted by Rolling Stone and a zillion other guitar heads. I put him up and Lee Renaldo in the top 10 innovators of the instrument.
Circulation MP3 by Thurston Moore from Demolished Thoughts (Matador/2011)
Pretty Bad MP3 by Thurston Moore from Psychic Heart (1995)
Lonesome MP3 by Thurston More from Sensitive/ Lethal (2008) This one is really irritating noise so beware.
Frozen Gtr MP3 from Trees Outside the Academy (2007)
Shadow Of A Doubt MP3 by Sonic Youth from E.V.O.L. (1986)
Madonna, Sean And Me MP3 from E.V.O.L.
I Love Her All The Time MP3 by Sonic Youth from Bad Moon Rising (1985)
