    I'm surprised no one said this, but "Sad" is easily my favorite to play. I love playing that riff and the chorus rocks pretty damn hard.

    I wish i could play Sad. Probably one of the best Pearl Jam riffs ever.

    A big thing that helped me get MFC, at least the speed of it, was playing Untitled right before it. If you play those songs together, Untitled is kind of a warmup for it. Try it out. If you need to hear the track, it's on both Live on 2 Legs and Touring Band 2000. Here's the tab

    Corduroy on piano when I get bored/frustrated with the stuff my piano teacher assigns me.
    The kids of today should defend themselves against the Seventies Nineties.
  • Yeah, I like Alive...it's one of those riffs where you can't tell where it begins or ends.
