Corduroy Tab by Pearl Jam,
I looked here and noticed there were no really good, easy to follow tabs of this song,
which is my favorite pearl jam song, so I decided to take the stuff I had learned from
other tabs plus my own interpretation and tab the damn thing myself. "Corduroy" pretty
much requires two guitars, at least for the bridge and outro, where there are multiple
riffs playing, but you can play your favorite of whichever riff is being played, which
is what I do.
intro
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-----4---4-|
|-2-2---2---2-2---2-----2---2-----2---2---|
|---------------------0---------3---------|
|-----------------------------------------| x 4
there is one other way to play this, but it won't get you the sound of the open note
and the 3, which are the sounds produced in the song.
verse riff
|---------------0-|
|---------------0-|
|---------------0-|
|-10-10-10-10-9-5-|
|-10-10-10-10-9-5-|
|-8--8--8--8--7-3-|
listen to the song to get the exact # of times to play it, but I believe it is 5 per
verse, although sometimes I think it is 4.
interlude - guitar 1 plays intro, guitar 2 plays:
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|-44444444444444444444444444444444-|
|-22222222222222222222222222222222-|
|-----------------0000000033333333-|
|----------------------------------|
chorus riff
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2---|
|-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-0-|
|-3-3-3-3-2-2-0-0-0-|
|-----------------3-|
then you can add on the part at the end of the riff that goes:
|-0------|
|---3----|
|------0-|
|--------|
|--------|
|--------| but it is not necessary
bridge, guitar 1:

|-00000000000000000000000000000000-|
|-22222222222222223333333333333333-|

bridge, guitar 2
|-----3---3-|
|-1-1---1---|

^^^I might be wrong on this riff, but it sounds pretty close.
the outro of the song is essentially the intro with some soloing byt mike and some of
the bridge riff 2 thrown in I think. I might tab the outro some day when I figure the
whole thing out.
