YELLOW LEDBETTER
Pearl Jam
Transcribed by James Delos Reyes (Ensomniac3@aol.com)

First, thanx to all those who responded to the incubus "pardon me" tab
I got a lot of good feedback. Now on to the song...

Before you attempt to play this song be aware of certain details. I
don't really know how many guitarists are in Pearl Jam. But from
listening to this song I can pick out three distinct guitars: the bass,
rhythm, and lead. Because of this, the song was really hard to
distinguish between the three (as opposed to the incubus tab which was
only one acoustic). THIS TRANSCRIPTION FOR YELLOW LEDBETTER ONLY
INCLUDES THE LEAD GUITAR. If playing by yourself, you can add the bass
notes in between the pauses like in the first few measures that the
lead guitarist plays. And for the rhythm, the chord progression is
basically E-B-A-E with a couple exceptions (you can faintly hear the
rhythm in between the pauses of the lead). Oh and one last thing...
TIMING ONCE AGAIN IS NOT SPECIFIED. Listen to the song and figure it
out from there.

I can't promise you this tab is as accurate as the "Pardon Me" tab. So
far I haven't seen a better transcription for this song on the net yet,
but who cares what I think. I wanna know what you think. Email me. My
address is Ensomniac3@aol.com. It'll really help me out on my playing,
ear training, or whatever. (I'm self-taught so I need all the help I
can get.) And so with all that said, here's the tab.
