Pearl Jam's Mike McCready Teaches You How to Play "Alive!" Solo | Shred with Shifty

[Old Joad]

I thought this was kind of cool.

I've played that one so often that I'm pretty sure I could go through the whole thing relying on nothing but muscle memory almost 30 years later. In fact, I could probably go through 75% of the whole album on that alone. 

I'd just gotten my first half decent guitar (a Korean Squier Strat) and my first relatively decent amp (a transistor Marshall), and a wah, was deep into Hendrix and I couldn't get enough of these types of licks and that type of tone. Those were exciting times I thought, when music got back to sounding a little more "organic" for lack of a better word.

Man, how I wanted a Univibe, though.
