Treat yourself or find the perfect gift for your favorite music maker. Sonic Youth's sound helped define a generation, and jams like "Teen Age Riot," "Wish Fulfillment," "100%," "Diamond Sea," "Bull in the Heather," "Cross the Breeze" and "Karen Revisited" immediately came to mind when we heard you wanted us to give the work of Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon and Lee Ranaldo the #PotentPairings treatment. Watch as guitarist Joe Darnaby joins the Daydream Nation in this installment.

Those tunings are a massive "Fuck You" to my guitar string budget.
You can tell a real sonic youth fan worked hard on this
Their main effect was their tunings.
I love your video too!
I agree, and thank you for your awesome videos.
And the drum sticks lol.
do more ween covers

I can trust you better than this video!!
from japanese young man who loves 80/90s alternative guitar rock musics and your videos.
The phaser on Diamond Sea needs to be much more yoyoyoyoyo
I believe SY used a Ludwig Phase II. The Blue Dinosaur Interstellar Watermelon is inspired by the Ludwig. EHX's Talking Machine and the EQD Interstellar Orbiter (unrelated to the Watermelon) also do the yoy-yoy-yoy sound. Some other wahs and phasers do this, but those are probably the 3 best, if someone was wanting to nail a cover down.
The EQD Interstellar Orbiter is also pretty decent for Diamond Sea. Check it out: ruclips.net/video/L8yGmL2s7Ys/видео.htmlm32s
I'm sure you're convinced of that, because a $600 yoy-yoy has to be better than a $300 or $200 yoy-yoy.
"An obscure pedal you can't buy..." Why can't it be bought? They've been on Reverb for years. How is the GG Rendezvous better at yoy-yoy? Let's see you explain how its yoy-yoy is the best yoy-yoy.
Yep, I was going to say Interstellar Orbiter as well.
This is part 1/20, correct?
No...
@@vandacastro1585 yes! Part 2 coming next week.
@@vandacastro1585 bruh
@@number11even41 worth mentioning that i commented this using my mother's phone so... (i might be late but idfc) (and i was a dumb kid)
Badass man. Sonic Youth have all their tunings to most of their songs on their webpage too. Even though they split up or whatever. Great job figuring all of this out.
Outstanding job guys! You especially nailed Bull In The Heather.
Bull in the heather was 👌👌👌 very nice
Great job, well done sir. Cross the Breeze intro was spot on.
Can I just say, loving all the request for shoegaze bands in this comment thread ♥
You are an amazing guitarist. Exceptional playing, and you nailed all those effects. Thank you so much for doing this!
Wow! Best one yet! So cool that you managed to nail all the tunings!
This is awesome!!! Thanks so much for making this video. I’m sure it was no small feat to unpack all of those layers.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Kim Gordon, Steve Shelley, Lee Ranaldo, and Thurston Moore for making this world bearable, and interpreting it in a way that makes sense to my soul.
Life is better with more GABDEG.
Hey, CME, how about selling some more strings, and sharing what the best gauges are for some of these tunings.
Sonic Youth website gear page on specific guitars notes exactly what string gages they used for specific tunings... be prepared to buy them in bulk! ;)
Tell that to my buddy who lost an eye to a broken string when trying to cover schizophrenia
@@Bruin_ffsbull shit😭
Yesterday I was thinking "it would be cool if reverb do a video about sonic youth" x) my dream came true
dayum, reverb is like the only gear channel that do cool stuff like this!
sonic youth guitar tunings are always mystery to me
Sonic Youth is a cool band but I've always wondered how the hell they get those weird tunings without breaking a string?
Andrew Pappas probably just reallllly heavy guages. Like 14s at least
Andrew Pappas they used different gauges of strings probably
you won't EVER break a string if you know how to string you guitar correctly. you only break'em if you string it wrong.
TheAmazingMeagher 14s? Wow, and I thought Stevie Ray Vaughan used heavy strings.. The heaviest gauge I have are 11s
so that probably won't work
Andrew Pappas use differnet instruments strings you can go as heavy as youd like. Ever seen jack white talk about it in that deleted scene from it might get loud? He talk about just finding a guage so heavy you basically cant play it. Really fun too gets a cook sound
Really cool video, great job sorting out the tunings!
We need a Slowdive one, man.

Step 1) Buy Yamaha FX500, Step 2) Set to "Soft Focus" (patch no.40).
Check out the pedal partners youtube
I don't believe in alternate tunings before marriage
Apparently, an incredibly creative spouse, lovely child, and the world as your oyster are still not enough to keep the earth turning. Stick with the alternate tunings, man, they won’t let you down.
Hehee!!
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this. One of my all time favorites!! Please do My Bloody Valentine!
i thought that said Bullet For My Valentine for a second
now i am sad :(
this video is so gear accurate too! Lee Ranaldo loves his Tele Deluxe and his Travis Bean! Good job man!
This video was awesome, totally made my day👌🏼
as someone not familiar with the band, im interested as to how their live shows would go. either five minutes between each song just to tune or like 10+ guitars on deck
They have a million guitars in different tunings already prepares
Imagine being their guitar tech...
Thurston Moore and Lee Ronaldo have put out amazing stuff since they broke up. Steve Shelly, too. He's an amazing drummer and has played with both.
They used to have a rack with guitars tuned to a lot of songs. I have seen them 7 times. Lee and Thurston always had a big rack with like 20 guitars pre-tuned. Alot of songs share the same tunings.
Early on, 5 minutes between songs. Later when they had more guitars, the latter.
Really great. Really great! Thanks for putting this together.
We need My Bloody Valentine next
i thought that said Bullet For My Valentine for a second
now i am upset :(
William Allison no way in hell
The Jesus and Mary Chain !!!!!!
BEHEDETY too
Mary Chain is easy (at least the classic "Psychocandy" sound). Shin-Ei Fuzz/Wah pedal into a cranked spring reverb. Step on the wah into toe-down position when needed for extra noise. Use semi-hollow guitars.
I wish you guys would make more of these! Bring this series back
Man, I never comment RUclips videos. But you really nailed everything. That's awesome.
less chorus.
more drumsticks.
And, occasionally, baseball bats
I know what you mean. Hats off, however, to Steve Shelley, who’s been massively underrated as a percussionist. He’s awesome.
@@amandacatherine793 not sure if that is what they meant, but hats off to Steve, he's a good drummer.
Well done, Joe. No easy task.
Really cool and really accurate! Please do The Killers, Dirty Projectors, MBV, King Crimson, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
yes they need to do kglwwww that would be sick
This is 10000X better than the other sound like episodes
Wicked! I’m also gonna jump on the MBV wagon and say do ol Kevin next
Excelente!!! Andaba buscando esto hace tiempo.
Brilliant. Also impressed with the Tele
sounds great! that Travis Bean, tho. dream guitar.
Interstellar Orbiter.....yoyyoyyoyyoy
So awesome!
probably the coolest video on youtube
Perfect. Awesome. Kids have it so good today.
Ahh Diamond sea and Skip tracer are some of the best. I remember having the Washing machine t-shirt way back in the day
No back in the day necessary. You can still find tees on their website! The long-sleeve Dirty is great for PJs.
Plz, let me feel old
@@nikphilip :D
I love this this is awesome!
Great job! Love it.
This is awesome. Thanks!
Yes Sonic Youth, this will be fun.
This is a great video. Thanks for this.
Awesome. Some mad tunage!
Liked before I even listened. Cool that you're doing it, even if it's not 100% accurate!
...but the tones were pretty great too! Awesome job. And sorry you had to go through all those crazy tune-ups (or tune-downs?).
karen revisited is one of my favorites
Wild Tunings
Wicked job man👍
I don't even own a guitar neither know how to play, but this video gave me a lot of satisfaction.
So good.
You managed to go above and beyond on the Cross The Breeze intro, sounds even more beautiful than the studio version
These tunings are insane
Well done
Awesome. You could do a whole series just on Sonic Youth.
Thank You Sir!
Amazing!! Thanks!!!!!
great job!
FINALLY!!!
we need anna calvi potent pairings, she's sounds so good, thanks reverb.
Nailed Bull In The Heather
it's finally here, now we need the one i always misread, that beith My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields, i always misread it as Bullet For My Valentine
Teen Age Riot: you oughta change the pickup selector to the middle or neck, first verse still needed to be on the neck or middle but the tone was quite close so it'll have to be a 7/10 for me
Wish Fulfillment: needed to be on the neck pickup this time and less twangy for the first guitar but the 2nd one was perfect so that's definately a 9/10
100%: The intro was very good while not being exactly alike as it's impossible to get it perfect but i'd say the guitar and bass was good but it should've been a bit more broken and fuzzy so i'll give it a 8/10
Diamond Sea: the clean guitar was super close though the phase guitar should have been probably a different phaser cos the original sounded more like an "eyeyeye" noise, though it was quite close so 9/10
Bull In The Heather: the intro harmonics and precussion sounds were perfect and the lead guitar part was spot on so 10/10
Cross The Breeze: needed to be a bit less twangy but the tone is close again so that's 9/10 for me
Karen Revisited: clean guitar needed to be less bitey and more smooth, the backing guitar was good, the bass was good though, it all blended well so 9/10
William Allison i give your comment a 2/10
-.-
lmao
Lol my bloody Valentine would be awesome
Man I thought I was the only one that always missreads that
amazing
MY BLOODY VALENTINE!!!!
I FUCKING SEARCHED FOR THIS THREE TIMES THIS WEEK BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT ALREADY EXISTED
THANK YOU REVERB
They were such creative guitar players
That was badass.
thank you
The biggest aspect of their tunings is unison strings. Produces that chorus effect. A simple tuning that is easy to start with is go to drop D and tune the 2nd and 3rd strings both to 'A'. This D-A-D A-A-D. SY doesn't use this but it is an easy way to get the unison sounds
I'd like to see one of these type of vids for Swervedriver!
great !

HUGE!
Potent pairings: Placebo please!!!
That jazzy is fuckin gorgeous
Karen revisited hot boi
Nailed it
NICE!
Finally!!
I'm into twinkly emo so I'm used to weird tunings but some of these are out there
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Travis Bean for ever :-) ! Nice job
I always hoped that Bloc Party have his own video of "How To Sound" is a powerfull and very interesting band about the effects
That's excellent! CHAPEL HILL? Any idea how to get the sound at the start of the song? Please help with this life-long quest :-)
i can't comprehend these tunings at all.
Don't forget to get a fender style amp, completely max the controls, then pick as LIGHTLY as possible for that super tactile sound.
AWESOME job, Reverb!!!! PLEASE do Grinderman, METZ, My Bloody Valentine, and King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard!!!!
i thought that said Bullet For My Valentine for a second
now i'm upset :(
The weirdest tunings band, awesome work 😁
Cool.
Gracias !!!
They yo yo yo yo yo part was
the best 😎
DAMNNNNN I JUST JIZZED. OK this is too fucking amazing
Muito obrigada por partilhar este vídeo 👍👍👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tem músicas que usam várias afinações (vão trocando de guitarra)
Sonic youth Again please 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank u
When you try those alternate tunings, did the neck bow? I wanna try alternate tunings but I’m scared that the neck might bow and I’d have to adjust the truss rod, do you have some advices for it? Cheers
I fucking love Sonic Youth!
Now do a how to sound like Dead Kennedy’s. That’d be awesome 😎
nailed it
I'm still waiting on an episode for Interpol
