Man this chick is just having her first lesson, and she's trying to play the YLB solo. It is a lot harder to accurately place notes in a solo than it seems. It is easy to get close, but the discipline of getting it exactly right is what makes a great player. Every great player has done the hard yards of learning to play classic pieces precisely, not "kinda", no matter what the instrument.
I am really confused that so many people on this forum think that learning to play accurately by following written music is so uncool. I like to root around and have fun too, but a dose of organised disciplined practise boosts my playing hugely. My playing was held back for years by a lack of "as recorded" written music.
Actually, if she got the tab from a magazine, it probably has the timing notation, but I still think it is a dubious place to start learning. I would hate to see her get put off by too steep a hill.

i'm just saying that you dont need to now how long to hold each note in a solo if you know that solo by ear anyway... take the simple one in Not For You that Stone does.... when i was first learning i had no idea how long to play these notes for (as the tab doesnt have this info) but because i knew the song i just played it as i knew it... i didnt need a piece of paper with musical notation telling me how long to hold the note for...
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
Yeah I know, it works for simple solos, but gets a lot harder as they speeed up and get more complex, plus it's not always easy to hear them in the mix. The YLB solo is a bit harder and way too much for beginner, I mean seriously now. I use a TAscam CD trainer to slow things down and get them right which helps a lot, but properly notated music helps a lot too. Maybe I just need all teh help I can get !!
Are you in Glasgow, I have a best friend there, and will be visiting next year. I want to go to a proper cailie. I fuckin' love Jimmy's !!!

dude the yellow ledbedder solo is one of the easiest pj solo's to nail. i could do it after a month of playing. i think its a great way to learn about leads and bending and hammer ons pull offs etc. i am all self taught so far and i learnt it by myself. if you know how the solo goes you know how long to play the notes for. and its nice and slow too

If you have only been playing for a month and taught yourself this solo, then you better learn to smile nice cause you gonna be a star !!!
More likely you don't play it right !!
There are thousands of hopelessly inaccurate tabs on the net from self-rating dudes like you !!
what about present tense?
doesnt get much easier than drop d tuning...
and while lukin is very basic, im not sure that the timing required is easy for a beginner. first song i learned was alive, but i still cant play any of the solo!
I could be odd...and well yeah I am but my 1st song was Comatose, then I moved on to Severed Hand and WWS. As you can see, the tour and new album along with me starting to play last march has had an effect on me. lol
I'm working on Gone, Alive, and Inside Job now...and my instructor would probably kill me if he knew. "Blues Andy..we're working on the blues".

Don't sweat it. Alive is the Blues !!
McCready has said that he crammed Ten with as many SRV licks as he could, and you can hear em everywhere, esp on Alive and Even Flow.
education !! i don't know why i never try to play that song before... is there a song more easy ??... i just find it yesterday by myself ... and now, i just can't stop play it !
I play metallica,ac/dc and some of dreamtheater so for me pearl jam songs are quickly and easy to learn.Especially betterman,nothingman,last kiss,alive,black..Maybe the song that keps me more time to learn was yellow ledbetter but it's easy anyway...But i love to play Alive with my band i like the vibe

Am I the only one who started with Alive? The main riff is incredible and still
gives me goose skin after all these years. The riffs contains almost everything a guitar player likes doing: a chord, slides, arpegg., bending, vibrato.
So begin with Alive to get that feeling of never stop learning to play pj songs.
I did, then i came across the guitarist magazine with the solo tabbed out, and now i play the WHOOOOOOOOOOOOLE thing!

its not the easiest solo, i worked it out last night, in comparison to wishlist, its hard. Make sure u record ureself playing it aswell, because its easy to ignore the mistakes when your bending, but when its recorded, they stick out like a soar thumb.
