    Anybody else like me subscribe to this despite never having picked up a guitar in my life, or have any intention of learning.... but rather just to admire the sheer beauty of Pearl Jam tunes. I adore this channel.... and this is one of my favourite intros to any PJ song.

    I´ve been trying to setup a setlist of only Pearl Jam tunes with my covers band for years. Finally, the band I´ve been with is on board to do it and I wanted to include this song so bad and I was stock into the G major chord played right before the chorus, you have just made it easy with this video, thanks.. We are located in the Mexican Caribbean but as you might know, there are bunches of Pearl Jam fans in Mexico (which is awesome considering that must people do not understand the lyrics).

    There’s a few tunes I’ve learnt in Dadgad, and some various open D tunings (I think) like buddy clyro opposites and Jeff Buckley last goodbye. Then I’ve used them tunings to write some of my pieces. But I never realised given to fly was in this tuning and I think I only looked at the tab years ago when I was just starting out and I was too confused.
    I’m really glad I stumbled across this video, appreciate the tutorial, many thanks. I love Pearl jam, covid has been a right pain since they’ve had to cancel their last two gigs that I’ve had tickets for in Hyde park because of it. They rarely play here and I’ve missed my chance to ever see soundgarden live, RIP Chris Cornell, and I certainly don’t want to miss my chance to see Pearl jam. But yeah, thanks a million for this.

      Jose Maria Casas Lentijo your English is excellent my friend! It’s got a “thin skin” paint job which I think is polyurethane, and I think the finish is “Sonic Blue”. I got it second hand and at the time was looking for a Strat with a trem and a SSS pickup config but really pleased I went for it. Superb guitar 🤘
