[1fanSOAD]

I really like this song, i just gotta keep on practicing....

[kckc63]

Thank you from Italy for teaching this song. I'm playing it now..

[TheDeafElf]

[8RMini]

[8RMini]

[TheGta4you]

[rweb12]

Love your guitar. I'm savin up for seagull.

[Mike081082]

Great tutorial man! Excellent way to teach this song! You would make a great teacher!

[thetubbsohio]

there are absolutely NO upstrokes in the verses ...

[AlexStenka]

@thetubbsohio you dont got to strum like the artist as long as u got the rythem down and he does very well.

[thetubbsohio]

@AlexStenka , yeah thats pretty true. i was just stating, to play it like the band. there all downs, and most folks want to play songs close to exact as they can i wasnt putting him down, i learned a couple songs off of him.

[fultonfroth]

cool you are covering and showing us how to play Jerry. No one writes like Jerry

[countryboy1357]

good job have to listen to the song for stumming me not you,,, you had it perfect

[Valo212]

Thank you so much. This is the best tutorial I've seen for this one. So when's the solo tutorial? hehe.

[DancingMedicineMan]

heres my question:

Why the fuck did'nt you nail the solo?

XD just kidding man good job. ;)

[Valo212]

do you have tabs for this anywhere? i'm having lots of trouble with the second bridge...

[zXGuitarXzGod607]

i noticed in the songs video that its all down strums

[justinpcannon1]

That sounded great, I can't play anything but damn power chords, I envy you man

[ufm777]

thanks for the help its sort of like "in this river" by zakk wylde, same chords but different order good job :)

[ATnE3]

this helped me soo much. i learned the solo and me and my bad r doing it for our talent show

[paulieman100]

good info learned it fast thanks  man

[77JLmNoP]

love this song, thanks!

[BryanSMeyer]

dude thanks

[thetubbsohio]

nevermind , i shoulda payed better attention. im an idiot. i still dont see lane playing a barre chord though. good lesson.

[thetubbsohio]

good interpretation , but thats not the correct way to play the bridges. wrong chords. just watch the band play it once and youll see, you should also inform folks to tune to E flat tuning.

[diverdowndave1]

excellent tutorial..thanks

[Natesky14]

oh yeah... what IS the picking for that part? i cant really do it right :-) thanks!

[Natesky14]

how do you play the "F" chord you use for that first bridge?

[tesjee1]

Would you please come to my home & teach me how to play guitar? :P

[MrChriss666]

Me6adeth01,

I'm pretty sure that the intro is the same as the choris, not completely sure because i havn't listened to the song that many times but im pretty sure. correct me if im wrong.

[Swantan97]

awesome job man, ive got a dean performer E acoustic electric and this song sounds better than ever on it. thanks!

[U89178]

What's your website again? Nice job thanks...

[fortmiko]

[Me6adeth01]

i got the intro thx to you bro but i cant get the chorus

[brokenseatbelt]

Sweet guitar, buddy. Good instuctions also.

[MortWolfs]

great job btw bow to you

[MortWolfs]

great but about bridge may be best is something other

 My best regards!!!!

[everock79]

awesome lesson...thank you. I hink you are one of the only people I've seen on here that actually explain the chords well and and it's easy to see where your fingers are:)

I learned this myself and it is a pretty easy song to play...but It is one of my favorites on the new album. Keep on rockin!!!

[sbove]

Dude, thanks...you rock! 

[sbove]

Dude, thanks...you rock!

[gunsguitars]

good man !!!!

[MultiVocalCovers]

Very good man, thanks fot the lesson

[ProperlyStained]

nice job man, i just got started learning this one.

i could be wrong but, , on the bridge that goes D,F,C,G, it looked like cantrel was holding the d chord with an open bottom e string and just moving the root note from open to the f, to the c, and then the g root note.

not tryin to be rude or anything like that, i couldn't get the right sound when i used the full chord, so i watched the video to find the back picking part and caught a glimps of his left hand.

[jvs512000]

Killer tune and great lesson. I picked it up in about 10 minutes.

[Midnightx77]

@jvs512000 i agree.i love this song! im playing it already lol its fuckin amazing how they took these simple chords and wrote it! and of course it makes me think 'why didnt i come up with that!" haha good stuff.

[dachachamonk]

i need your chords for this song but i dont get like g6 so could u post tabs some how

[tnc07232008]

[RockNDetermed]

[comvsky]

[hillbillypoet31]

You are a good teacher, my friend. Thanks for the video.

[bigart2fyt]

[Firebase67]

Thanks for taking your time. Great Job!!

[blivjc75]

thanx man. i appreciate the lesson.

[chatwithsuzie]

very impressive! thanks

[ivanoise]

thanks man.. good job..!

[Rayzorable]

thx :)

[miltonautosales]

Good Lesson Man! Check my version out and tell me what you think!

[RyanUnplugged]

It's amazing how 4 of the most basic and common chords played in a certain progression instantly sound distinguishable as Alice in Chains, not the song itself but the "sound" of all Alice in Chains songs that make them unique. Like the first time you hear a song without knowing the name of the band beforehand, but by the distinct sound you know who it is after you listen for a few seconds.

Only another guitarist probably knows what the hell I'm ranting about.

[kalnicanka]

G R E A T song!

[RunTMCfan]

I have that guitar. For $250 it's really nice.

[jimmybrown1221]

damit! i wanna see AIC so badly i live in Ohio and dont know if they will tour in Ohio this and nutshell is my favorite song cant wait till my brother gets out of jail to show him this lane was his favorite singer

[Str8FrmDaRok]

Pretty awesome dude that track seems pretty easy even thou I dont know how to play guitar funny as it sounds....lol!!! but I can play it on rockband hahahah!!! even thou your not actually real guitar playing, but yeah good job dude great tune off the new album by Alice in Chains.

[TanMan97]

nice lesson!

[ComaAlpha]

I always play Cadd9 in the verse and an open C in the chorus.

[Sixx0809]

I learned thhis one by ear. I usually play by ear besides when I do the guitar solos... Not very bright when it gets to the bells and whistles. But yeah, Great tune and thanks for teaching me the power chord thing. I used to just continually loop E, G, D and C 'til the song ended.

[beermonkey067]

i didnt know that about the capo. thats cool.

[flymanrock]

Nice job.Thanks for the lesson.

[1692michael]

good job

[thecookeyfiend]

this song has very similar chorus tabs to nirvanas "polly" i found it easy to learn!

[sjmarsing]

NICE! Right on bro I wish I could play like that, I think my fingers are retarded...

[lakajd]

could you please put in tab form?...at least the chorus??

[crownvvc4]

is that a S6 seagull?

[fyiguitars]

ya S6 original slim the neck is slimmer in width then a normal S6

[sms8668]

Just seen Alice in Chains last night 3-13-10 at Tower in Philly. UNREAL. They did not miss a beat. Your Desicion is AWESOME. Cantrell is a genious. Great lesson. NICE S6....PEACE !!

[askdad123]

[wannabehendrix]

Well done my man!

[MrChordKing]

Hey nice vid. I just learned that song but now realized that the tabbed version I got is wrong...thats for clearing that up!

[totallykimba]

wow that song is easy enough I guess I couldn t get down the bridge though anyone got the tab

[tdc024]

AWESOME!!! thanks dude! let us know when you get the solo down!

[mikexavier]

thanks man, playing along with the song really helped me time everything, bridge is still tough. i can do it in single strums but not in a rythym. i don't even know how to spell rythym!?
