Pearl Jam

Note to beginners: Pearl Jam, like nearly all rock bands, uses the minor
pentatonic scale for almost all of their solos. If you don't know this
scale, commit it to memory. You'll be amazed at how much mileage you
can
get out of this one pattern:

E------------------------------------------12--15--
B----------------------------------12--15----------
G--------------------------12--14------------------
D------------------12--14--------------------------
A----------12--14----------------------------------
E--12--15------------------------------------------

This is the box pattern for the E MajorE minor pentatonic scale. Note that there
are two notes on each string, the first being 12 and the second being 14 or
15, so it's pretty easy to memorize. Eventually you'll want to learn the
notes of the scale up and down the whole neck, and throw in other notes,

but as I've said, just using the box pattern notes and some slides, bends,
hammer-ons, and pick-offs, you can make some pretty cool-sounding solos.

Anyway, enough theory. Time for some music. The reason I'm telling you
all this in the first place is because I'm too lazy to tab out the solos.

Track 1 (Brain of J.)

Riff 1:

               vib           slide

Verse 1 (w/ Riff 1):

Who's got the brain of JFK -
What's it mean to us now?
Oh, it's not distrust,
But I can tell you this is no lie.

Chorus:

C majorC                 AbAb
The whole world will be different soon
     Bb majorBb
The whole world will be relieved, yeah.

Verse 4

All right, it's getting late, at this point I'm just doing chords, no
words. I'll put my email address at the end of this, and if I get much
response, I'll make this tab more complete by adding words.

Track 3 (No way)

This one is in dropped D MajorD tuning. Just tune the low E MajorE down a whole step
to
D.

B minorBm G+G (for most of the song)

For the "Ooh, let's call an angel" part:
(By the way, this part definitely reminds me of Smashing Pumpkings)

 AbAb D MajorD    E MajorE    FF    G+G

Back to B minorBm G+G chorus

Track 4 (Given to Fly)

For the tabs and vocal melody to this song, see Led Zeppelin's Going to
California. :) (Just kidding.)
I'm sure they tune to an open G+G chord but I was too lazy to retune my
guitar, so I faked it (pretty badly) in standard tuning.

Intro: G+G (xxx033) with the top note moving 0(H)3-3-3-7-3-3-3
 Then same G+G with the tope note moving 0(H)3-3-3-5-3-3-3 (these
 last 4 notes are on the BB string, not the E MajorE string)
 Play this twice.
 Then D5D5 (xx0235) Dsus2Dsus2 (xx0230) D MajorD sus2, and D MajorD (xx0232) played
 twice.

Play this through the verses as well.

Chorus:
C5C5    B5B5 C5C5    B5B5 A5A5 G5G5
// // // /  // // // /  /  /

Track 5 (Wishlist)

Undoubtedly the simplest song on the record, but what do you expect?
Eddie
Vedder is more of a singer than a guitarist.

Stay on F, then:

Track 6 (Pilate)

I'm getting lazier by the moment. Tab takes a while to type in...
The intro basically uses these four chords...

D-4---2---7---5---

Chorus:

Track 7 (Do the Evolution)

This is the most rocking song on the album. It's good to hear Eddie
wail
again. He's a good singer but a better screamer.

This progression seems reminiscent of Seek and Destroy by Metallica.

Bridge:

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh:
D MajorD C majorC BB Bb majorBb

Solo in D MajorD minor pentatonic (10th fret box position)

Track 8 (Untitled) - I'm not going to bother right now. The drum beat's

cool though. Draws you in the way WMA's intro drum beat did, but too
bad
they didn't use it on a real song.

For those of you DYING to play this, it's two notes. 9th fret and 7th
fret
on the G+G string.

Track 9 (MFC)

Intro:
G+G G+G G+G G+G

Track 11 (In Hiding)
IMHO, the best song on the album.

Intro:
A augmentedA A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD G+G G+G D MajorD

Too tired to tab out the pretty Zeppelin-esque sounding interlude.
I definitely will do this in the future, but this is just too much for
one
sitting. The chords are basically:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G/BG/B D MajorD

Pre-chorus {The strumming pattern is just like STP. Kind of ironic how
PJ
is borrowing from the band which was accused (wrongly, too, I might add)
of
being a PJ-clone}:
A augmentedA G+G FF FF
A augmentedA G+G FF FF
A augmentedA G+G FF FF

Chorus ("I'm in hiding"):

Solo in FF minor pentatonic (13th fret box pattern)

Track 13-2 (Hidden track)

This is a cool Indian sounding tune. I especially like the way they
speed
up at the end, like a classical Indian raga. Anyway, I'll tab out a
little
bit of it just to tease you guys:

E-8-10(H)11---11-10-8-8(H)10-|-8-------------8---------
B-8-------8----------------8-|---8-8(H)9-8---8-8(H)9-8-
