Pearl Jam - Alive - Bass Tablature
by Michael Lamberti (mvlamberti@earthlink.net)
This is my first tab. I did this because all the other tabs for this,
that I've seen, are wrong. This may not be 100% correct, but it's damn
near close to it. Any suggestions, comments, complaints or whatever,
just email me.
Jeff plays this on a fretless. Listen to the song to get the timing
of the slides. Some of the slides won't sound good on a fretted bass,
but what the hell, right? :)

The Outro is more or less the same as the chorus, just play some of the
notes an octave higher and add some of your own flare and what not.
This is the little end solo (if you'd even call it that).

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PEARL JAM tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
