Sign in to disble this ad
I am a BIG Pearl Jam fan. But as of yet I haven't really sat down and worked out many of there songs. So I have a short list I wanna get worked out.
Push Me Pull Me (Yeild).
Porch (Ten).
Jeremy (Ten).
Rats (VS).
Thats my list so far....but I wanted to build up a catalog of Jeff's essential bass work with Pearl Jam. I was wondering what you people here at Talk Bass would add. 
Jeff is the Best bassist in Rock!!!

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Chevy Chase, MD | | | Almost anything off of Ten, "Once" is fun to play and "Alive" too (that was actually the first song I learned on bass).
Off of Vs, there are some cool songs like "Rearviewmirror" and "WMA" and "Glorified G" have a cool grooves going.
Other than that, I like playing "Save You" from Riot Act, "Do the Evolution" from Yield, and "Dirty Frank" (kinda funky, sort of) which can be found on the Lost Dogs CD.
Jeff Ament's definetely one of if not my favorite bass player in rock music. He's one of those guys that understands that bass is supposed to hold down the low end and doesn't overplay just for the hell of it, just enough to fit the song.

Don't know if the track it's actually played with one, but I did it to give it a different feel to the rest of what i was playing by those days, now it's a tune that always turns me up! |
