They are from his songs BUT they are tabs on the Internet and it's a well known fact that all tabs on the Internet are wrong.
I've also realised that the unusually named Richard Boner of Husker Du plays in a very similar style but his songs are a bit slower so easier for me to work out myself
I've seen them live and you're right, they're seriously loud. I've no idea how Lou or Jay still have any hearing. Those stacks of amps aren't just props, they're all on and cranked up loud.
I've recently started to appreciate a few ex rhythm guitarists who've changed to bassists. One of my favourites is Lou Barlow from Dinosaur Jr. I've tried to work out exactly how he's playing but can't quite get there. Any tips for getting close to this playing style? I think a lot of what he's playing is power chords but I'm not sure.
My second Stingray shaped instrument has just arrived, a Sterling Ra34. I didn't go looking for one to match my Ray35 but it looks great (I think it does) and it's in great condition
