I've wanted to do a Sonic Youth riffs video for a while now, but as the different tunings are so awkward to use, I'm only just getting round to it now. There are obviously a lot of songs I could have chosen, but here are 7 that are among some of my favourites and that didn't require too many different tunings to switch between. As I recently bought a new bass, I was tempted to have a go at layering all three guitar parts, which may have turned out to be one big mess. Even still, I learnt a lot in the process.
