Even Flow Guitar Tablature
The song 'Even Flow' by Pearl Jam features two guitar parts. If you're playing this song by yourself, obviously one part will have to go on a back burner at some point. Therefore, I have transcribed a decent sounding tab, combining both parts, which can be played alone.

Dropped D tuning
^ = upward bend
h = hammer on
p/o = pull off
sl. = slide
p.m. = palm mute
wh. = whammy
v. = vibrato
