McCready is a bad ass. His Pearl Jam work is insane as is his Mad Season and Temple of the Dog work. Phenomenal guitarist.

[@swiftlessons]

Absolutely. I’m not sure if I’d be a guitarist without Mike McCready.

[@kevint.reillysr.5521]

Thanks! I love to learn Black! My favorite Pearl Jam song!!

[@startrekmike]

Thank you for actually going over the whole song. KZbin is filled with "lessons" that only tackle one part of a song and sometimes it is difficult to find lessons that can actually bring it all together. Please keep doing this kind of thing.

[@SlowToe]

Thanks I love Pearl Jam.

[@ZPX945]

I would like for you to breakdown Black by Pearl Jam. Great lesson🎉

[@MattH1874]

Just Breathe... A travis picking masterclass from Eddie 🥰

[@swiftlessons]

I’d love to teach that one!

[@LukeAgain]

Release is a phenomenal song and one I can relate to a lot. It makes me think of my father. I started playing guitar because of him. He had a guitar he never knew how to play. I started to learn on it too impress him and it was always a way to get him to smile. He would send me songs to learn like Sierra Ferrell’s In Dreams or Blackburn by the Beatles.

[@dennisk5082]

Daughter would be grand. Thanks Rob

[@swiftlessons]

Stones part would be a lot of fun. I learned all these songs when I was a teenager, so it’s going to be good fun to revisit them. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@jendunn]

thanks. This is my favorite Pearl Jam Song. 'Just Breathe' would be great

[@autk]

Nicely done, played this for a year back in 2004 with a band of friends in the Southeast, heavy Jimi style all the way through 🎶

[@DarkMycelium]

Pretty awesome lesson as usual! One I’d like to suggest is Better Man, cool intro and nice chord progression afterwards :)

[@user-passby-lookby]

Really good tone on this one, crispy but soft at the same time, thanks for the tutorial. Do the evolution or Daughter would be cool to see tutorials about

[@averyprice9422]

Evenlflow! Thank you

[@boomerdell]

Sweet lesson on a superb piece of music by Mike McCready. Thank you! Tutorial suggestion: Elderly Woman Behind The Counter. Such a sweetly sad and sadly sweet song.

[@swiftlessons]

One of my personal favorites as well, I do have a lesson on it already, check it out: Pearl Jam "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town" Beginner Guitar Lesson kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqGsqJZ9aJ6YqrM

[@arottie4097]

W0W! Such a great lesson!! Thank you. ;)

[@swiftlessons]

My pleasure, thanks for all your comments and encouragement!

[@shalomshalom735]

Great lesson man!!! If okay, please do a lesson for Even Flow by Pearl Jam.

[@swiftlessons]

Hey thanks for the positive feedback! Looks like even flow is the number one suggestion.

[@DanielDuncan-c2g]

Loving your lessons…. Please teach evenflow!

[@swiftlessons]

Thanks so much and hell yeah, great suggestion!

[@NickTheSwordsman]

LAST KISS up next!! Iconic song by Pearl Jam

[@swiftlessons]

I did a very basic lesson on that tune years ago. But it might be time to revisit it and break down Mike’s embellishments. Thanks! 4 Simple Chords - Pearl Jam "Last Kiss" Lesson - Easy Guitar Songs For Beginners kzbin.info/www/bejne/emnKlp2Pi859m9U

[@NickTheSwordsman]

@swiftlessons That'd be elite! Do or don't do, its up to you. Either way I've been subscribed for about 7 years or so (more like 10 but I dont want to feel that old) and I've gotten 99% of my ability directly from your KZbin channel. In that regard I want to say thank you sir for your generosity and that you are the absolute man.

[@adaltroczguitar]

Hello, Rob!! Well, it could be Daughter!! Tks a lot!!

[@The300zxsupra]

Great lesson TY.

[@JorgeLopez-wj2rb]

Love it really is a piece of Art..

[@miikamessi]

Do Even flow next 😊

[@swiftlessons]

I’d say that’s obligatory for every KZbin guitar channel. It’d be cool to break down some of his live licks.

[@styrkecoach]

Would love to learn jeremy

[@keithconner9036]

Awesome. Great breakdown. As for PJ the song 'old lady at the counter'. Ifrogive me, not sure.of actual name

[@swiftlessons]

[@adampoe2797]

Yessss!!!!!!

[@DomingoCaro-h5v]

Hi how are you rock on dude l am learning to play guitar basic power chords

[@marley7921]

Please do Dissident next

[@russellsimmons774]

Would you do “nothing as it seems?”

[@swiftlessons]

Absolutely, such a great tune.

[@michailpatelis5876]

Black please

[@swiftlessons]

That seems to be one of the more popular request. It will need to be added regardless. Thanks Michail!

[@oldblindsonny8476]

Pearl Jam is pretty awesome. I’ve never played any of their music, but I would like to learn the house of Mary or whatever the name of that song is talking about cracks of thunder. I forgot what the name of the song is I think is the house of Mary

[@dripdropfamily]

This is epic just like January 20th. Your making music awesome again.

[@swiftlessons]

Oh yeah, "Crazy Mary," that's a great tune Sonny, I especially love their live performances. Thanks for the recommendation, that would be a fun one to learn!

[@oldblindsonny8476]

@ yeah my name is Chris and I’m totally blind but I play guitar and I love it. I just recently got my blue lava touch which is a smart guitar and yeah crazy Mary. That’s the name of this song. That’s pretty good. I like I like, bro Jim they’re awesome.

[@toddwarner6538]

How about Man of the Hour (Big Fish soundtrack)? It's a bit of a deep cut, but it's a beautiful song, and there are many PJ tutorials for their biggest hits.

[@guntherhiggenbottom6195]

Hey rob! Given to fly would be much appreciated. I’ve been struggling with that one for years. If anyone can break it down into sizable chunks, I know it’s you.

[@stevewilson1583]

why the fretboard it's so shiny? it have a plastic layer or something ? Great Lesson and song ❤

[@swiftlessons]

Recently polished with lizard spit 👍

[@an032nv]

Porch, Rearviewmirror, Immortality, Off He Goes, Given to Fly, Nothing as It Seems, Save You, Come Back, Just Breathe, actually can you just do each album 🤣

[@thekman1096]

Black or Even Flow

[@swiftlessons]

Both would be super fun!

[@edgardgoncalves3982]

the guitar of this song is awesome, Altough I can`t understant the lyrics well, ti`s so difficult :)

[@swiftlessons]

100%, the boys just performed this live on Howard Stern and it sounded incredible. Apparently Eddie never had a chance to finish writing the lyrics because the tune was cut from the 10 album.

[@gimmee99]

Great lesson as usual. How about some tips on how you got the classic tone for that song.

[@edgardgoncalves3982]

@@swiftlessons Great lesson dude, thank you.

[@edgardgoncalves3982]

@@gimmee99 I use my strato at the psotion between neck and middle, second position from the neck pick up. I put an overdrive to have a clean a little durty and a bit of reverb. The secret is to have a good ampli with a nice clean tone.

[@sniffableandirresistble]

I just realized that's basically a watered-down version of Little Wing

[@RobiRaw]

I would like to learn Alive by Pearl Jam in this year 2025. 1:29

[@swiftlessons]

Alive would be especially fun to learn and teach. One of mike’s best solos for sure.
