Red Mosquito by Pearl Jam
A couple of people have said they've seen PJ play this live and
it's in standard tuning. I've also been told that the opening riff
is played at the 5th fret so I've tried to figure it out there,
I hope it sounds OK.

The lead part uses a slide in some parts and other parts are
without the slide. Just put the slide on yer pinkey and it frees
up the other three fingers to play the rest of the lead.

The rest of the song is basically just repeats of the above
progressions, so just play along with the CD to get the right
pattern and structure.
