Well... here I'm again. I compiled this tabs from VS by Pearl Jam,
other great album...
I send this songbook cause I don't find it in OLGA.
Hey guy, I just compiled this songs as has been posted before and I
corrected the lay-out, so credits for original tabs: John Faulding;
Brandon; Paul D; Charles Nicholson; Bryan Steele; Roger Meech;
Rick "Mookie" Posey; Daniel E. Smith; Neil Smith. (I didn't find the
author of W.M.A., if this tab is your own work, send me a mail and I'll
correct it)

Enjoy!!!

A:--------------------------------6--5--0--|
E:--5----5----5--5-----5----5--------------|

This is how the main riff goes. PO is a pull-off, and the rhythm is
very weakly shown above the bar. As far as the second part of the
verse goes, just hit a D Chord a couple of times like so:

e:-----------|
B:-----7-----|
G:-----7-----|
D:-----7-----|
A:-----5-----|
E:-----------|

And then for the chorus. Each one of these chords is a measure, and you can
strum them at will. Listen to the record for the correct feel.

As far as the solo goes.... it's in A with a lot of Wah... I don't feel
like taking the time to transcribe it. Although I recommend you just
kind of find the right key and play it. That's usually the way I do with
my band. Just know what key you're in and sort of jam, remembering the
overall thematic things. Have fun with this. If you need any help or
any other songs transcribed, let me know...

3.Daughter
From: Paul D <S3BZ@MUSIC.TRANSY.EDU>

The tuning is as follows:
Your low E comes up to G.
Your A goes down to the exact same G.
Your D, G, and B strings stay the same.
And your high E goes down to D.

The little intro arpeggio is like this:
D-|-----------0-----|
B-|---------0---0---|
G-|-------0-------0-| (let ring)
D-|-----7-----------|
G-|---5-------------|
G-|-0---------------|

Then the guitar comes in full force and goes on throughout the verses:
D-|-0-0-0-0-|--0--0--0-0-0--|--0--0--0---0-0-0-|-0-0--0--0--0-0-0-|

4.Glorified G
Transcribed by Bryan Steele - bsteele@asu.edu

Below is the opening riff that Mike plays. This riff is used throughout
the song without much variation.

E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|------3----3--3-------3----3-3------3----3--3-------3---2------------------|
G-|--0h2---2--4--2---0h2---2--1-2--0h2---2--4--2---0h2---2-0------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

This is the little rhythm riff that Stone plays. Listen to this to get the
groove that he is playing -- don't forget the muted rakes.

E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|--7---6---5-6--------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|--5---5---7-5---muted--rakes-----------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Stone and Mike basically play the these next two lines about the same.
Although I have added more of what Mike plays into the tab.

E-|------------------------------|----5-------5-------------------------------|

E-|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
Glorified version of a pellet gun Feels so manly when armed

This is a really weird switch in the song ("Always, keep it looooaaaded!!").
The chord pattern is C, C#, D#. Sometimes it is hard to remember to go
to this pattern. If you listen to the live Atlanta show, Mike even
forgets to hit the right chords!

E-|----------------------9-9----|----------------------9-9--------9-9---------|

E-|-----------------------------|---------------------------------------------|

This is a very simple variation to the first riff that Mike plays. He
basically plays the A note a few more times that normal and throws a simple
5th fret bend. For those of you that can't follow the notation, 5b p3 means
to bend the 5th fret to 7th (whole step), drop the bend back down and
pull off
to the 3rd fret.

E-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
B-|-----3---3--3--------------3---3--|------3---2--3-------------3---3-5b-p3--|

A-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|
E-|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

Here is the solo. I am not even sure if it is worth transcribing solos. I
would like to hear some feedback from people. Let me know if this even
helps
anyone to learn the solo. I know that sometimes tab is really hard to
follow.

Anyway, tackle this a little bit at a time. It really is a pretty easy solo
to learn. Just think of each part as a small riff.

E-|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------7--10p7--10b--10-|-10b--10--7-------------------------------|
G-|------7hp9--9b------------------|-------------9b--7---7--------------------|

Get used to the bend/hold/release.

Well, that is it. Send any question & comments to bsteele@asu.edu.

When you learn this one, teach it to a friend. See ya!

6.W.M.A.

This is a very loose transcription of the main bass riff:

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
---5--5--5-5-3-5-\-8-8--8-3-3-0-0-0---
repeat

Verse:

The guitar is moved so far back in the mix that it is difficult to get this
exact, so just kind of improvise with the A chord like:

Guitar 1 (Stone)
----------------------------------------
--x-x-2-----------2------x-2---------2--
--x-x-2-----2-0-2---2----x-2---2-0-2-2--
--x-x-2-2-2-----------2--x---2-------2--
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

Guitar 2 is just a solo type in Amin, so once again, just improvise

Guitar 2 (Mike)
----------------5~~~~~~-----------------
---------3~~~~~~--------------3~~~~~~---
--2~~~~~~-------------------------------
-----------------------2~~~~~~----------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------

The chorus is more of the same but Guitar 1 is more of the chords rather
than the mutes and runs. Guitar 2's soloing is faster.

Since the guitars are so back in the mix, I can't really tell if the chords
are changing in the chorus, so you might want to throw in some chords based
on the bass notes (A, G, C, E)

12.Indifference
Tabbed by Neil Smith (nj2_smit@uwe.ac.uk)

Hi all! I haven't seen any good tab floating around for this one, so
I thought I'd send my version, having finally got post working !!!

Notation: (Please pay attention, 'cos I'm not using brackets () for their
usual purpose !)

h - hammer on
p - pull off
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
b - bend string
(7) - natural harmonic ring (in this case, fret 7)

Here's the main riff. It's for the bass, although no-one can stop you
playing it on guitar :)

-----(5)---------(7)-----
-------(7)---------(7)---
--7-----------5----------
-7-----------5-----------

There, that was easy. Then after the first verse, the guitar plays:

-------------------------------------------------
17---15------------------------------------------
---------16---14---------------------------------
------------------16-17/19--17-------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

It's either that, or

12---10------------------------------------------
---------12---10---------------------------------
------------------11-12/14---12------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------

I can't tell. Oh well, they sound virtually the same, but the second one's
easier on an acousic. Well it is on _my_ acousitc :)

For the 2nd chorus onwards, I think (listen to the song!), and in various
places later, the bass plays :

----(12)--------(7)---------(5)---------(5)------
------(12)--------(7)---------(7)---------(7)----
--10------\\\5------------7-----------7----------
10----------------------7-----------7------------

The other guitar riff which crops up later is:

---------15-------------------------
17p15-------------17p15-------------
------16-------16-------16-16----16- Play This
------------------------------------ Part Twice
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

------------------------------------
15---17---19b20b19---15--17---------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This plays the second time round. Listen to the record and
you'll see what I mean.

^You can also play this as 14b15b14 on top E.

I think that's just about it.

Well... enjoy the songbook!!!

GRUNGE IS NOT DEAD!!!
