ALIVE - PEARL JAM
Tabbed by Visscher@alg.frg.eur.nl
Notation Legend:
\: slide down
h: hammer on
p: pull off
NH: natural harmonics
~~: vibrate
+: represents the beat
Note: the bass line during chorus and solo changes every time. In this tab,
I only give the basic bass line. Try using different notes here and there,
change the length of notes etc. This tab gives you a good starting point.
