I bought this because I spend lots of time listening to Pearl Jam, and lots of time trying to learn how to play songs (especially PJ!). After buying this book and playing along with the album for a couple of hours I realised it was missing some! stuff. In Evenflow, it’s missing a riff or two, and in Alive, its missing the riff right before Ed sings “oh, I, I, I’m still alive…”. And, the authors of the book left out a whole lot of Alive, come to think of it. Lots of little cool things Mike and Stone do are missing, and its up to me, the inexperienced, to figure it out. And (SIGH) they make it rather hard to figure who’s doing what. Instead of clearly demarcating the roles of the guitarists, they rather mishmash it all together. All in all, regardless of the many slight mistakes, this book …still… gave me a giant step forward in my understanding of how to play Ten. Which is a very good thing!

Frankly, this book is somewhat of a joke to me (and should be to anyone who isn’t completely tone deaf). There are omitted riffs and all sorts of inconsistencies throughout the entire book. Somehow the transcriber managed to BS his way through every song, completely overlooking the fact that Stone Gossard employs several open and altered tunings. Some of the leads aren’t too bad, but there are some transcribed in completely the wrong position (IE ‘Even Flow’, which is transcribed in E when it should be D). And what’s up with that transcription to ‘Deep’? What an incoherent mess! Don’t waste your money. This TAB book isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Good for some of the notes missed by sounding out, some lyrics are incorrect. Overall pretty good.

So speaks the bard, and so it is written. Pearl Jam is truly one of the greatest band of the 90’s if not the century. This book helps give the band the honor they desevre buy going into detail on one of their first and greatest albumbs; TEN. Buy this book, and you won’t be dissapointed. Peace.
