Since its inception, the band's line-up has included Eddie Vedder (lead vocals), Mike McCready (lead guitar), Stone Gossard (rhythm guitar), and Jeff Ament (bass). Since 1998, the band has also included drummer Matt Cameron (also of Soundgarden). Boom Gaspar (piano) has also been a session/touring member with the band since 2002.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Note: the chords in parentheses (C B Em) are the notes played by the piano and bass. If you're playing on one guitar only, though, do this, putting emphasis on the notes with the * beside them (the bass notes):
G (CBEm) e|-3---------3---3---3--------| B|-3---------3---3---3--------| G|-0---------0---0---0--------| D|-0---------2---0---0--------| A|-2---------3*--2*--0--------| E|-3-----------------0*-------|
Chords: G (320033) C (X32033) B (X20033) Em (022000) (during C-B-Em patterns, play it like this): 000033 D (X00232) A (X02233) (I know this isn't a real A; I'm not sure what it's called)

[Bridge] okay, I know this is mostly a piano solo, but I'm gonna tab out a rough version of it for guitar. Note the chords on top; that's what guitar 1 would play; guitar 2 would play the 'solo' (again, the chords in parentheses are played with emphasis on the bass notes)
