Ive posted a little about mike before but i was wondering if there is any other fans of his or pearl jam here for that matter. although it was david gilmore who made me want to play guitar and is one of my biggest influences Ive got to give it up for mike mccready i thought my self how to play lead by trying to mimic him back in the day and Ive got to say mike is one bad man he may be one of the best rock lead guitar players out there right now. I have tons of live pearl jam on disc and Ive watched a lot of mike on youtube and he just kills his leads 90% of the time he playes with 120% feel and emotion and is a better guitar play than van halen because of his feel in my opinion. so if you don't know who he is or haven't heard much of his playing check him out on you tube wont disappoint you. its just my opinion that he is one of the best rock players (also plays mean blues) out there today and i would like to hear what you think please let me know

I cant believe that there werent any replies to this topic. :(

I agree with you 100% on his playing and feel. Ten was the first album I ever purchased and after listening to it, I wanted to pick up the guitar and play like Mike. Probably the biggest influence on my style.

I can't believe I overlooked this topic since I really do enjoy hearing Mike play the guitar. I love his bluesy playing in Yellow Ledbetter and his intense soloing in Alive.

I just remember my parents buying me Ten on CD at Christmas of '95 (kinda weird how I remember when I got my first CD player :lol: ). From the opening track Once, to Mikes last chord on Release Me - I knew then I wanted to play guitar.
