i get a great kick out of playing pearl jam songs on my guitar, personal fav's have to be immortality, Faithfull (what a fat riff), ebowing along with No Way, Save you, the list goes on, if you can get that tone thats half the battle, i love it!

If theres any musicians in Leeds wanting to jam, shout out!

    Yellow Ledbetter with the 'Little Wing' tag.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Not For You . . . but it's difficulty keeps me from playing it often.

    Other then that, I Got Id is a personal fav.

    Yellow Ledbetter, cause the improvising around the E, B and A pattern is actually improving my - ahum - 'lead skills'.

    ive found i've started to emphasise and accent chords and notes exactly (well, you know) like stone or mike would. i love to whack my stereo up loud and jam along

    its like being in pearl jam (how sad eh?, im 24, not 11!lol)

    My Humps

    Though it would be much better if I had someone to sing backups on "My Lady Lumps" like Matt does for Ed.

    Corduroy, In My Tree, Porch and Hail Hail probably. Sometimes, Long Road and Footsteps are also fun.

    I would have to say Sad at this moment. I love playing that main riff. I guess the other ones that are up there are: I Got Shit, Light Years, Long Road, Thumbing My Way, Low Light, Gone, and Man of the Hour. What the hell is up with me and Ed songs? The only one on there not an Ed song is "Low Light"? I am almost afraid to say my next on the list was probably "Parting Ways"

    Comatose is pretty simple, along with WWS. I also like playing Alive, intro to Corduroy, Save You, I Am Mine, Ghost, Not For You, Dead Man (Drop D tuning) and I'm trying to learn Yellow Ledbetter (I can play the first two measures)

    I love to play gone because it sounds great by yourself and you can play with the rythm in the verse.

    I love the way it flows from the verse to the bridge to the choruse back to the verse. So fun to play and not bad to listen too either.

    A lot of stuff from the Beyanora Hall is fun to play aswell
