Pearl Jam outlasted just about everyone who came out of Seattle, and more than three decades on, they still command one of the most devoted followings in rock. To dig into their guitar work, we called on Mark Hopkins—host of the YouTube show At Home with Mark and the biggest Pearl Jam fan we know—who walks us through Stone Gossard's songwriter's instinct, the surprising difficulty of soloing cleanly over "Yellow Ledbetter," and his case for Yield as the band's masterpiece. And of course, we settle once and for all whether Pearl Jam is a jam band.Thanks to our Sponsor! Brought To You By Rocky Mountain Slides www.premierguitar.com visit www.rockymountainslides.com
