Pearl Jam perhaps? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Killer guitar riffs, the harmonized vocals and amazing drum beats. As far as Pearl Jam, I think the guitar playing is great, I'm just not a big fan of Eddie Vedder. You know what would be hilarious?

Dec 2 2010, 07:08 PM	Beginner Instructor Posts: 472 Joined: 11-April 07	Pearl Jam! They were my favorite band for probably 5 years straight. Mike McCready is still one of my top 5 favorite guitarists. Temple of the Dog made some great music, too! Pearl Jam and Soundgarden combining into something specatcular. Mad Season was also really great. Layne Staley and Mike McCready. November Hotel is one of the best instrumental songs ever, in my opinion. And I think that Chris Cornell is one of the greatest vocalists of all time. That time period had some really great music.......makes me want to go listen to Hunger Strike You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The music they make is euphoric to me, the timbre of layne's voice is incredible, it's beautiful. The vocal harmonies are awesome sounding, they add so much to the music. Jerry's such a good musician, the leads are tasteful and the riffs are hot. They're so diverse, each album is something new, every album takes you on a different musical journey, i love it. Mad season was also amazing, it's a shame they didn't put more music out, long gone day has some incredible vocals in it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
