What are some good solos to learn from? I've been playing scales and such but cant seem to get into the solo stuff. What are easy Pearl Jam solos to learn? I know the wishlist solo but I mean are real solo. Any suggestions would be great.

    Nothing as it seems- sounds harder than it really is, mostly loaded with a ton of echo & univibe type effects but the notes are easy.

    I am Mine - my first ever solo full stop. Took me a little while longer to nail than Teen Spirit or Silverchiar's tommorrow but in my opinion, easiest PJ solo, unless u wanna count In Hiding's fill as a solo....

    If u do, then thats it.....

    i suggest the daughter solo, its pretty hard at first but if you just practise it alot then its quite easy.
    seems that needlessly its getting harder

    If you play acoustic the solo to Immortality is fun, and Alive is of course a classic.

    as of now im working on I Am Mine solo. mostly just because its short and off of my favorite album. but as you post them i copy and paste the solos from from giventowail to notepad to print just the solo out later.. im gonna try to learn all the solos all you recommend.
    solos never seemed right to me ive been playing for alittle over 6 years and all i play are scales i cant seem to break out of the box patterns. so once again thanks for all the help.

    Dude, I don't consider myself a beginner anymore - though I sound like one - but I can't pull that solo of in a zillion years. I suck at solos.

    totally agree, top solo....

    once u nail two or three, go for Alive, u'll impress the hell out of ppl too. And its really not hard, the studio one anyway....

    some live ones are just insane though..... live on SNL, drooling away, thats incredible....

    can i suggest you learn a scale instead of a solo. that way you can make your own solos and impress the hell out of people. it is easy to sound like a guitar genius to the untrained ear with a simple pentatonic scale.

    ALIVE definitely! at first a bit exhausting but after a while... . use a wha wha when you seem to get tired of it. that refreshs!

    easy to start with is the intro part of DISSIDENT

    of course DAUGHTER

    if you're a sound freak try NOTHING AS IT SEEMS

    PJ solos rock!

    yellow ledbetter is a nice one to lean.

    as for the pentatonic scale try learning all the notes on each string. that will help u get out of the boxes.
