Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

[aaa567ify]

Very nice. Great job on learning the song man. This song sounds so good when played clean tone. Sounds like there's is some gain which sounds great in the solo. Thanks for the upload.

[marvelboy04]

you should def do more pearl jam covers

[juank87mop]

the people that disliked this video suck mushroom tips

[freeyourmind94]

wow amazing cover, mike mccready is such an underrated guitarist

[aaa567ify]

@freeyourmind94 Agree,  that's the truth.

[TheBeatles986]

@craigrose007 is that an ibanez? cuz if so i have the same guitar :D

[Bookem311]

@TheBeatles986 It looks like a Strat

[pearldrumsarecool]

I wish youtube wouldn't make every video 240p the quality of this video used to be a little bit better but this video makes me speechless everytime good job

[oogrooq]

potato waaaaaave.

[tklau]

very nice cover man. good job!

[justinkeenum]

cindemendpatriot it means to slide to nothing. Meaning you just slide off the fretboard and don't stop at any fret! Good luck dude.

[fender5791]

Because guitar playing is a hobby. A lot of people just want to have fun and mess around with some songs they know. Not everyone plays guitar with the intent of using it as a career, but rather just something to do.

[Noisespreads]

I don't see what's the point as a guitarist to play exactly the same tunes as the guy who got famous with his tunes. If al guitar players spent more time in developing their skills on the guitar they wouldn't be any more tabs! And then maybe we discover the next hendrix or a new led zeppelin. Peace

[kyus74]

@Noisespreads Not everyone who enjoys playing guitar is musically gifted, some of us copy and paste.

[michaelEllis23]

@Noisespreads you know hendrix and Zeppelin probably started by playing other peoples music, they both got their style from the blues and im sure they came up playing chuck berry and others similar to it so i mean unless you personally knew or know either once of them i would hold back on the ignorant comments you make.

[Noisespreads]

@michaelEllis23 I don't think they had tabs911.com to help them. Sure they played other people's music but they also developed their own skills, techniques, and most important SOUND, that became legendary. I think you misread my comment my nubian brother ;).

[michaelEllis23]

@Noisespreads really nubian dude please stop while you are ahead and last time i checked they didn't have tabs but they could still read music i mean yeah we cant be near as good as them but thats why they're legends and we are just musicians there is a difference we use tabs because we want to learn their music why take the time to do so by ear when you can just read?

[Noisespreads]

@michaelEllis23 Very simple really. The reason you do it by ear is that you can give your own intrepertation to the song. And maybe open some musical doorways. You can be like ´´hey jimmy page could´ve done it like this instead of this´´. If you wanna be a copycat that´s fine with me but don´t pretend like it´s a good thing to do ´cause it´s not only for real gifted musicians to do it by ear. It´s for the ones who have the patience and are willing to put time in it. Happy life

[CondemnedPatriot]

one of the best on the web man, really great..

I am trying to learn this myself, does anyone know what "11\" means in the tab?

I thought it meant slide down, but there is nothing after the 11\ ..........

[deeebird]

Truly inspiring. Just when I think I'm starting to get better at guitar I watch something like this and realize how bad I am.

[alvarenga2007]

I thought i was gunna be the only one who thought this was fucking amazing but @jonathancarranza922 summed it up for me in three words.

"I just cummed"

[TheSuicidalChipmunks]

This is going on my favorites...

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

God all you guys talking shit about Fender vs Gibson are total idiots.It's a matter of personal preference Jimi played a Strat,Slash played a les paul big fucking deal,Slash couldn't sound like Hendrix nor could Hendrix sound like Slash main reason being the guitar which is their preference and prefered sound not because one is better.

[pearldrumsarecool]

I've finally figured this song out it is a little hard I must say took me about 2 weeks

[kdc19941]

huhfafiiifh sifhoaishfakfo asifoanfaios fansfiafn DONT NO WHETER IT WAS A BOXER OR A BAG!!!! great cover

Never understood half the lyrics but definitely the best pearl jam song

Awesome job man!

[teamhex]

One of my favorite songs, Im learning it now

[hitman18000009]

dude that was awesome. im still trying to learn solo. but nice job keep rocking :)

[milkshakes711]

solo would of been a lot better if you weren't playing with the cd, it threw it off.

[Corey497]

nnnnnice....!

[blacksabbath21641]

had it up to the solo

[pearldrumsarecool]

I did a ride along with a Sheriff's Deputy today and this song was playing on XM while he was in a store but this song is my faviorte now and by the way good job! No way I could do that

[tabulaerasae82]

very good cover of a great great song...5 stars...

[jonathancarranza922]

i just cumed

[bubbabump69]

@jonathancarranza922 LOL  LMFAO

[theonlyshrub]

Luvverly, reminiscent of Little Wing

[tabulaerasae82]

great song, great band....and great cover...yes it is reminiscent of little wing cos its full of hendrix style chords and licks from start to finish...just not done the good old hendrix way...just done the good old pearl jam way....

[iplayguitar420]

@theonlyshrub yea the guitar has a real hendrix feel to it

[maninthebox0]

@iplayguitar420 the guitar has a hendrix feel to it because it was one of hendrix's favorite makes to play :p

[iplayguitar420]

@maninthebox0 Sorry if i was not clear enough for you, but I meant that Pearl Jam's guitarist was emulating Hendrix's style of playing and im pretty sure anyone who has ever heard of Jimi Hendrix knew his prefered make of guitar was the a "Stratocaster" =]

[iplayguitar420]

*the "Stratocaster"

[xMidniteToker]

That was amazing man.

[DanceWithYourSoul]

nice technique

[WoodGrainMayne]

5 stars :)

[ns927]

[MattiaCrazy69er]

[MrPowerbean]

That was amazing.

[KirkHammett131290]

wow so great.! 5*

[Pasinek07]

what kind of settings did you use for your clean sound?

[MrSnakedrummer]

This is a First Guitar!!!!!! congratulations!!!

[FruscianteAlways7]

man you just gotta love strats. yours american?

[pappas99]

nice cover mate one of the better covers of ledbedder. however your solo some of the notes are wrong, and you aren't playing the chorus how mike plays it. still sounds good though!

[suthernhilljack]

home run

[JakeCanine]

yah alright, now do it without it playing in the background.

[MaggotSoldier666]

He could do it just as easily.

Backing track has nothing to do with it.

[cards7509]

the track in the background adds depth. he can do it fine without the background music as well.

[sebastianthekid]

ok now teach me!!

[bgrassguitar]

Nailed it!!!!

[triumphmad]

brilliant craig, cheers for posting im trying to learn this at the moment and seeing someone "real" playing it so perfectly gives me the motivation to keepin cracking at it!

[zacharytamas]

I'm curious what kind of rig you had setup in this recording, great tone!

[kenzaburo]

Awesome. This song tears the soul out of you. I like how you feel it. Just want to hear it on a real guitar, like a Les Paul.

[craigrose007]

i love les pauls just as much as the next guy, but im just trying to keep it real by saying if there was a ever a stratocaster song, this would be it...

[justfine77777]

@craigrose007 Hell ya! Little Wing type shit homie!

[captinclutch1987]

@craigrose007 I think it would be "Little Wing", I can here the fender sound from that song more than any other.

[PatrickIsLost]

@captinclutch1987 yup, little wing is the strat song... hell Fender even had it as the soundtrack to their factory tour video.

[maninthebox0]

@PatrickIsLost Practically every Hendrix song is a good strat song. That was his favorite guitar. Next to maybe Gibson's V

[fairfaxsurfshoprider]

@kenzaburo You fucking idiot a stratocaster is a real guitar what guitar did jimi hendrix or SRV or frusciante play?

[kenzaburo]

@fairfaxsurfshoprider Strats are nice, no argument here. But Les Pauls are a different level.

[fairfaxsurfshoprider]

@kenzaburo there too completely diffferent guitars but if your one of those rich gibson snobs then its not worth explaining the difference between single coils and humbuckers but clearly your too ignorant and probably never played anything besides a gibson

[kenzaburo]

@fairfaxsurfshoprider You're being defensive.

[fairfaxsurfshoprider]

@kenzaburo haha really i think you are since apparentley only gibsons are real guitars

[huyiy]

@kenzaburo lmao thats too funny

[adddywalters]

ritcheous dude! but forget duke! lol jk, goodjob though man for real cant waite to get this down and feel it

[royzpad]

[AbleDangerUndercover]

Disclaimer:I am nothing compared to him but my ear says differently.

[thiefcafe55]

its a different note but its intentional.  its like a shift of voices idk but it sounds incredible sin embargo

[PKTO92]

[wally666247]

Very nice job, nice tone and great playing.

Great!

[patcharlesboyd]

Great job!!! I need some practice...

[hawro]

awesome control

[fuzzymangos12]

damn that sounds just about perfect.

5 stars

[iaedean]

mike mccreedy uses a 57' strat just like stevie's #1, for this song anyway

[Carfreak4]

You should do Alive as a cover. You'd be better than most of the crap covers people post on YouTube.

[kurtbob07]

when i first heard this song the intro sounds like stevie ray vaughn

[Carfreak4]

Funny it sounds like SRV kurtbob07 because Pearl Jam wrote this song as a Jimi Hendrix tribute.

[kurtbob07]

im not saying they didnt but it does sound like SRV

[kurtbob07]

and as i said in my earlier comment "when i first heard this song it sounded like SRV"

[shawnthenonbelievers]

this is awesome wish i could play this song as good as u

[fsleadguitarist]

this is what a strat was made for.

[Danklin24]

Very impressive man. I'd love to be able to pick this song up one day. Would you mind doing a tutorial?

[bucky765]

just wanted to chime in that was awesome, I love this song and you were spot on.

[canudigit0sucka]

nice work man keep up the good work man

[tallj64]

hell yea man that was that tha shit...

keep puttin em out there like that.

[buggable]

Wow I wish I could play like that! I like the song a lot!

[mutisia26]

Great job!!

[austin33309]

what are you using for your bridge pickup?

[tommy2win123]

still awesome :D

[charlieglebby]

i wish i could play it. maybe ill pull my socks up and force myself.

[kenzaburo]

Spot on! Just...can you do it with a Les Paul, the way God wanted it?

[MrWaffles0303]

lol,

yes please

[jmorr24]

Pearl Jam's lead guitarist uses a Fender Strat. I believe when they wrote "Yellow Ledbetter" Pearl Jam was listening to "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix and that was the influence. This song was made for a Strat, nothing else compares!

[Danklin24]

kenzaburo, this song was written for/on a Strat. Any other guitar doesnt have the bell like tone this song needs for the harmonics.

[TheFriendsInMyHead]

this song was MADE for the strat, and written on a strat

les pauls don't sound this beautiful

[mysterynick]

hmm...i think i head a dead baby getting thrown into a microwave.....?

[bradenp6690]

can u show how to play it plz
