Lee:
A lot of notes have delay and trem bar effects on them, so experiment.

Bend furiously with trem bar
At 1:53 Lee turns on a phaser, then at 2:07 plays:
D---19---17---19--(bend up!!!)-----|
C---//--------//-------------------|
G---//--------//-------------------|
C----------------------------------|
G----------------------------------|
G----------------------------------|
Trem pick the 19's and play the 17 briefly, then bend the second 19 up.
Lee plays this a few times, then dissolves into total noise. Use lots
of feedback, delay, phaser, and wild trem bar effects.
Then, when it gets quiet:
2:37 **** 2:47 2:51 2:57

Notes aren't picked, just fretted and sustained.
Where the **** Lee "plays" some hand slides.

"Androgynous Mind"
(Thurston)
Hey sad angel walks
And he talks like a girl
Out trying to think
Why it stinks he's not a girl
Now he's kicked in the gut
They fucked him up - just enough
Got me down on my knees
I kiss his ring
God is love
Androgynous mind....
Hey hey are you gay
Are you God
My brain's a bomb
To turn you on
Everything is all right
God is gay
And you were right
Androgynous mind...
Hey hey it's ok.....
God said it's all right
foryou to fight
to free yr mind
Whose side are you on
Like a bomb
Tr free tonite
Androgynous mind...
Hey hey it's ok.....
