Who Wrote Yellow Ledbetter?
"Yellow Ledbetter" was written by Eddie Vedder (vocals), Mike McCready (guitar), and Jeff Ament (bass). Three members of the American rock band Pearl Jam.
The music was composed by Mike McCready, and the lyrics were written by Eddie Vedder. The song has a loose, jam-like structure and features guitar work from McCready that is straight out of the Hendrix school of rhythm guitar.
While the exact meaning of âYellow Ledbetterâ is ambiguous due to Vedder's mumbled and often improvised lyrics. Vedder has said that the song's lyrics are about a friend receiving a letter about a brother who died in the Gulf War. The title of the song is a reference to a friend of Vedder's, whose name was Tim Ledbetter.
The song was recorded during the sessions for Pearl Jam's debut album, "Ten," but it didn't make it onto the album. It was later released as a B-side to the single "Jeremy" in 1992
The song features Eddie Vedder on vocals, Mike McCready on guitar, Jeff Ament on bass, Stone Gossard on rhythm guitar, and Dave Abbruzzese on drums. While "Yellow Ledbetter" was never released as a single or included on a studio album, it has become one of Pearl Jam's most iconic songs. It has received significant radio play and is often used as a concert closer by the band.
"Yellow Ledbetter" is known for its variations in live performances. Eddie Vedder often changes the lyrics during concerts, making each performance unique. The song has been used in various films, TV shows, and commercials, further etching its status as a fan favorite. It was notably featured in the final scene of the TV show "Friends."

Hey! Love the lesson. I have checked out a few other lessons for this song in hopes someone might give some pointers on that Hendrix F shape chord. I am having issues getting the high E to ring out when i pull off/strum. The strings are muted and im killing my index finger trying to bend it enough. Any tips or will it just boil down to practice? Thanks for the video!
