Pearl Jam - All Those Yesterdays guitar tab
From: "Bret"
Subject: p/pearl_jam/all_those_yesterdays.tab
Here is my tab to that most wonderful
Beatles-esque song off of Pearl Jam's
fifth album, YIELD.
Note:
>....slide
p...pull off
v...virbrato
Standard Tuning
This is the Main Riff. One guitar plays this
throughout most of the song while another does
alternate riffs.
Riff #1
E-------------------------------------------------------
A--------------1------------------------1---------------
G--------2------------------------------1---------------
D---3---------------3-p-0----------2---------2----------
A------------------------------3------------------------

This is played throughout the verse.

B------3-------------5---5----------1----------------1------
G---3--------3-3 > 5-------------2-------------------1------
D-----------------------------3---------3-p-0-----2-----2---

B---------3-----------------------5---------5----------10---
G---3------------------3-3> 5--------------------------10---
D------------------------------------------------------10---

On the next part, one guitar plays riff # 1
while the other alternates between F5 and E5.
F5 E5
------------ -----------
------10--- -----9-----
------10--- -----9-----
------10--- -----9-----
------8---- -----7-----
----------- -----------
What (F5)are you running (E5)from taking
(F5)pills to get (E5)along creating
(F5)walls to call(E5)your own.(F5) (E5)
So (F5)no one catches (E5)you drifting
(F5)off and doing (E5)all the things
(F5)that we (E5)all (F5)do.
(E5)
Riff #2
"And now wash away....all those yesterdays."
Riff #1 during:
"All those yesterdays, all those yesterdays, all those yesterdays.
All those paper plates, all those yesterdays, all those yesterdays."
Riff #3
This riff is played after the last echo of
"all those yesterdays" till the end of the song.
It's played with a little distortion at first
then a lot when Ed starts singing "There's still time for escape."

E---1---------------------------4v--4-----0--
REPEAT
Song Fades out while guitar alternates between F5 and E5.
and that's that. The last riff is a little tricky at first,
but after a few tries,
it's pretty easy.
I hope to tab out the solo at the end at some time or another.
Enjoy

Slight correction:
During the last riff until the end of the song, the rhythm alternates between F, Bb(5), and G#
F Bb(5) G#

Key:
> slide
^ one step bend and release
Be loose with this solo. Just listen along with the CD to get those George Harrison type stops and bends down. Other than that, it's pretty darn easy.
Enjoy
