for the chorus there are two choices, you can play the lead, or the rhythm

"Even Flow" by Pearl Jam from the Epic release "Ten" Music by Stone Gossard, Lyrics by Eddie Vedder Tabbed by David Curtis
This is my first attempt at this so please bear with me. I've tried to explain everything as well as I could.
Guitar 1: Open D tuning (D,A,F#,D,A,D) Guitar 2: Standard tuning
Guitar 1 plays Riff 2 with palm muting throughout most ofthe solo, then drops out a little bit before riff 3 comes in. If you listen to the song, you should be able to figure it out.
If you have the Hal Leonard book for this album, subtract 2 frets from every note played in the solo (and all the little fills). That puts you in the right key (D).
Opening Riff (with slide only 1st time) Riff 1 (guitar 1 goes right into verse riff at *) Verse Riff Riff 1 (into opening riff) Opening Riff (guitar 2 with wah) Riff 1 (guitar 1 plays riff 1A also) Chorus Verse Riff Riff 1 (guitar 1 plays riff 1A also) Chorus Riff 2 Solo Riff 3 Chorus Riff 2 (guitar 1 continues riff 2 until end) Outro Riff

Guitar 1 plays Riff 2 with palm muting throughout most ofthe solo, then drops out a little bit before riff 3 comes in. If you listen to the song, you should be able to figure it out.

Guitar 2 plays a D with lots of muting and scratching, growing louder and louder until the chorus. Played like this:
