Tuning:

Pearl Jam - Alive Album: Ten Bassist: Jeff Ament Bass Tab Tuning - Standard EADG Play with a either a pick or with fingers.. Who really cares? ;) Tabbed by Riptide Problems? Email: hyprriptide@gmail.com Symbols list (As Reference): h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend string up r - release bend / - slide up \ - slide down v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~) t - right hand tap x - play 'note' with heavy damping () - Harmonic **** - Hold the note.. idk what the correct tab symbol is but apparently it is normally --- which doesn't work here for obvious reasons. This tab is correct to the Rocksmith Tab which sounds accurate to me! So here we go :) The timing of the bass is quite difficult to do without knowing how the bass of this song goes. So if you haven't already pop on some decent headphones or some good quality speakers and have a listen.. It will help! 75 BPM (Strongly advise using a metrenome or drum beat thing for this song xD) Intro (This comes after the guitar has played the intro once at about 7 seconds): G|7***************|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|7***************|-------7**77-75-|--------5******/|-----57********\| A|0***************|---------------7|0**0-5h7--------|0-5h7-----------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ^ Hold this for 6 beats G|----------------|----------------|-------------(5)|----------------| D|--------5******/|--------57*****\|3333/5----------|5***********----| A|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------|-------5******--|3***********----| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Verse G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|--------5******/|--------57*****\|--------5******/|--------7**775--| A|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7-------7| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|--------5******/|--------57*****\|--------5******/|--------7**77**\| A|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------|0**0-5h7--------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Pre Chorus G|---------------|(5)-------------|----------------|----------------| D|333-2/5--------|---5******------|333-2/5---------|----------------| A|--------3****--|---3******------|--------3*****--|3--3--3-3-3*/----| E|---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Chorus G|---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|---------------|----------5-----|----------------|----------------| A|7******\-------|----------------|5*******5******/|0---0-0-7---0-0-| E|----------0--00|3********--3-3--|----------------|----------------| X3 G|---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|---------------|----------5-----|----------------|----------------| A|7******\-------|----------------|5*******5******/|0---0-0-0*****--| E|----------0--00|3********--3-3--|----------------|----------------| Bit after chorus (What do I call that?
