This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Why Go - Pearl Jam

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed By: Crono_jd

Tuning: Standard

This is a Pretty cool riff by Jeff, one of my favorite bass lines by Pearl Jam.

The bass line contains several Hammer-ons and slides.
