This is my cover to the solo of "Alive", a classic Pearl Jam song.
"Alive" was this band's first single, and appeared on the band's debut album, Ten (1991).
Although the album's follow-up singles would be more successful, "Alive" was nevertheless important cuz it brought the attention to the band.
This song grew on me since I listened to it for the 1st time.
The solo shocked me too, it was just awesome.
Its a technically easy tune, but as my friend Dave says: "Sometimes it's the simplest songs that feel the best".
Virtual Band cover of this song... coming soon.
Keep tuned! :)
Thanks for watching!

As usual, I used my Zoom G2.1u effects pedal, and in case youre interested, these are the settings for the patch I made for this cover:

Note: I used a Cry Baby connected between the guitar and the zoom pedal.
Turned the wah ON and used it during the solo.
What kind of strings do you use?

@gewerh44 WOW! How long did this take you? And how long have you been playing? And i've only been playing for about a year or so, so do you think I would be able to complete this solo successfully?
- Thanks in advance :3

well, its a very simple solo, took me maybe a couple of days to figure out and practice it.
Ive been playing for 6 years now.
Im sure youre able to learn this solo.
