    Sometimes is a good one to play acoustic or clean on electric as well. Basically any of Ed's songs are pretty good for beginners.

    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". :D

    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.

    Corduroy, In My Tree, and It's OK.....are all pretty similar, learn one and you can play them all.

    I call them "Seven Nine Songs", because they're all on frets 7 and 9....another 7-9 song is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

    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 :D

    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!

    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

    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.
