  • vocal strength comes from practice alone really. I'm learning to sing for acoustic numbers and I'm essentially shit. Good luck, keep at it. Love this song and thank you for for sharing

  • the best cover of all!

  • Well U picked a very hard song to cover but thumbs up.. Keep rockn AIC lol

  • This was really well done and I liked it alot. But like some said your voice is really soft/feminine for this song. I wonder if it would be better if instead of singing it the original way, you made your own rendition to suit a female voice better. Don't know if that made sense.

  • This is fucking awesome. Allow the haters. You have a BEAUTIFUL timbre to your voice. Gorgeous. Well done.

  • good job sweetie--i am tnobbs 13

  • Great cover! :)

  • any girl that listens to AIC is good in my book. better yet, one that plays guitar and covers a song is that much better. do a new video of this, i'd love to hear some changes you've made to it. good vid!

  • pretty much what kurtcocain said. Your guitarwork was really nice, you don't have the depth of voice or probably the life experience to express this song. A chick who digs AIC is hot though, so keep pickin...:D

  • @benmark1219 Sorry i pretty much agree with your comment, but you got me at the life experience part. I'm working on my voice and do understand that I need more depth and vocal strength, but believe me, I've got the life experience. Go check out some of my originals if you get the chance. I've got about 20 songs written about emotional pain alone (not all of them uploaded on here yet ofcourse) And many, many more in addition to that.

  • @christydud Hey great guitar playing but this video was done 4 years ago.

    I was wondering if u could do a new cover to see if your voice improve, im not saying it's bad since it's much better then me. Do you take singing lesson? and thx.

  • @keeperoftheforest no singing lessons. I have improved vocally, unfortunatly I dont have a camera anymore to record videos for youtube.

  • @christydud not sure whether benmark meant emotional pain missing. its those pounds of raw heroin not pumped into your veins, but i wouldn't count that as missing. ;-)

  • Well at least you are pretty

  • Pitch is all over the place particularly at the beginning BUT its awesome to see a girl singing this song so good job anyways

  • Love the guitar skills.

  • Good job kiddo!

  • that was rockin!!!!!

  • Excellent cover!

  • keep up the great work good cover

  • Excellent work, your voice is amazing, the tones are all right, but of course, Layne's voice is impossible to remake, so props.

  • very well done

  • very nice work i play this too same way it needs the finger plucking most ppl strum it and it sounds somehow wrong so great job

  • Great job 

  • excelent, very beautiful =)

  • next time. topless.

  • good job

  • Great musical ability, but it sounds like you only know some of the words and kinda fishin for the rest. But by far, one of the far better guitar playing on here.

  • I'd rather be playing it. amd singing it buttt.. marry me? lol

  • How bout I play, You sing. Though you did both well, I'd still like to hear you sing when you dont have to concentrate on Playing.

  • dreadful

    

  • dreadful

    

  • Great cover...

  • very nice cover!

    im working on this song myself.

  • great job, this song is soo beautifully sad and you did and excellent cover

  • thought u not layne. u even not close to layne' s voice. but u clearly like da song. so thanks for sharing ur passion for AIC with us. peace love and empathy!

  • Well done

  • love the way u play the guitar

  • i THINK this is my favorite song by Alice..idk tho...but this song has made me cry before..Layne touches my soul....nice cover

  • i here a little bit of jewel from her not bad

  • Nice job...

  • I was amazed!....not too often that happens...good work

  • Wow nice job!

  • Pretty nice!! I love that song so much!

  • hey look im a huge alice in chains fan.. and i can really appreciate hearing a female version to this song.. so few women would ever attempt a song like this.. i thought the guitar was very good.. to be honest.. the singing could use a little work.. but hey.. you gave it your best.. i applaud your efforts either way.. keep on rocking girl!

  • This cover is even better in person! Good job girl!

  • your hot

  • Beautiful voice!Nice cover... where you from?

  • Thanks! Im from Southeast Texas.

  • @christydud Corpus Chrisit?

  • @rafaeldsf1 creep lol

  • umm ur a really good guitarist but when u sing u have...umm...i think its like an acsent?? not sure...keep it up though 4/5

  • nice guitarwork, but you don't have the voice to sing this :)! it's not bad and there's no shame, coz layne staley was on a league of his own...4 stars

  • hey thanks Cristy, I meant your voice is very similar to the cranberries. Very nice voice! keep rockin!

  • Cranberries! Check out my version of Nutshell above^ on video response. Rock will save us all!!!

  • I love it its very nice to see that aic can infuance so many people congratulations on a job well done . aic would love to see this video

  • Sounds like Jewel went Alternative .. if she did this would be it!!! its ok though.. Rock-On Girl!!!

  • God that was fantastic. All it really needed was someone to harmonize like Jerry did for Layne. You would do great singing Layne's part but you need someone on the lower end to really bring out the harmonies in that song. Great job and not trying to sound like an ass here but you are a really attractive woman. Keep up the great work.

  • i liked this cover a lot.

  • I laugh when it gets to the part where you say "I'm a man"

  • Killer!!!!

  • are u dying?

  • I hate to bother you, but could you please provide a link for the tabs to YOUR version? As far as a solo goes, not only is your vocal performance the best on youtube, but your chords and strings are the best too. Ive really had a hard time finding tabs for the solo version. Thanks............

  • I actually learned this song many years ago through a friend that taught it to me so I really can't provide you with any links to the tab. I can say though, that the guy that I learned it from, had learned it from the original Alice in Chains Dirt tab book itself. Good luck!

  • i've watched a half dozen covers of this song just now. all the guys that covered it are summarily lambasted for their deficiencies but you, the one girl, are getting marriage proposals, so i'm going to be honest and say that while the guitar was good, i couldn't stand your singing. your falsetto was distracting and your pitch was all over the place. i appreciate you taking the time to cover one of my favorite songs though.

  • pretty cover,pretty girl,ok ! !

  • you know what if alice in chains were girls you would be the singer.

  • I would love to hear you strain your voice on this song to get the angst and misery out more. You got to think about Layne when your singing it. Please say you'll do it again this versions already so beautiful.

  • Wow the music you play is almost as beautiful as you!

  • thats pretty slick how you switch the pick in and out

  • Awesome to see the opposite sex covering such sweet songs such as AIC.

  • Awesome, good to see people still like good music out there. I asked some kid in my class if he knew who bob marley, Kurt cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page/ Robert Plant and he didnt know who any of them were. Are generations shit lol.

    but anyone great job playing and singing got a great voice and your cute haha

  • that was good girl

  • You just made a grown man cry :)

  • Good job!

  • Very Beautiful, I'd love to hear this without the guitar, and you with the orginal track playing on your headphones. Please get this recorded by a professional, also sry for babbles, but find another girl to sing Jerry's part with you :))

  • Wow this Girl is BEAUTIFUL!

    You can sing to me anytime delicious.... then maybe you won't feel like your down in a hole anymore!

  • This actually gave me chills... It's rare for ANY cover to do that.

  • so true, can't explain it but got chills.. this is why i youtube.

  • love the way you handle the change up great cover

  • very great guitarist chirsty. flawless ,good job. !

  • Very well done.

  • I'd kill to be that good!  Outstanding!

  • Great job girl,

    I've been trying to get the cords and everything together but just can't seem to do it. Keep up the good work. You need to less nasel...

    tom

  • bravo! chords you are using to fingerpick?

    -sean

  • Um..the chords are Am,G, and D, throughout the majority of the song.

  • @smerrigan Am, G, and D... then Dm, C, and G thats the whole song, but the picking changes here and there..

  • good job you beautiful girls

  • good job.

    you gave me a sufficency of cold chills in all the right places (of the SONG, i mean - NOT in the smutty sense.. lol!)

    well done. this IS afterall, a VERY hard song to get right.

    /alastair.. xxx

  • deadly fairplay i like the way you holded the notes its the key part in the song

  • this is a real hard song to do,play and sing at same time, u did excellent, i've been playing for a lot of years, this is one i want to learn completely, i see u did a Dm there for the change the rest of the chords ill have to look up i mean for the change, excellent, anyway bury me softly in this womb.

  • good job

  • finger picking =) tight

  • very nice, one of our favorites.

  • Bando de americano fdp!!

  • Emotion, please!

  • Just not doing it for me...maybe it's because you have no passion for what your singing. You are singing about someone else's heartbreak and sorrow. Nice try though:)

  • Your voice was not bad at all. You just need to get into in more and get louder. guitar playing was A+ IMO though. good job!

  • Wow excellent work, love the guitar keep it up

  • HA! another girl who loves AIC!

    YES! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

    i wish i could play down in a hole on guitar, i can play Angry chair, Man in the box, and Them bones..i think thats it!

    i just got an Alice In Chains tattoo too! :)

    i agree with elferrito33, you do sing through your nose and block your throat, relax! you have LOADS of potential at singing, just need to get rid of the nasal-ness and you would be amazing!

    excellent guitaring though!

  • i love this song... good beautiful cover!!! ♥♥♥♥!

  • good job on the video better than I expected. Vocals are way better than mine ;) lol but like I seen in a comment earlier you need more emotional rage in your voice. Singing is all about you emotion in your voice.

  • Hahah a guitarist at heart ya id love to hear you play something harder then this.

  • wow...that was like totally not what i expected... lol not bad!

  • Pretty good....I'm in love with you. Will you marry me?

  • fuck off, dude. im marrying her! haha, just kidding man. but really, there needs to be more girls like you in todays society!

  • Maybe we can start a polygamist sect with her as our first wife...we can share! Really though, any chick who can play Alice In Chains on guitar gets my vote for fucking president of the USA! Go baby!!!

  • Sorry boys, you guys might be willing to share, but I don't think my husband would lol. But hey, I'd love you be your next president!

  • thanx. There's more females like me in today's society than you think. You just have to look hard :)

  • way too nasal. You're trying to sing like Staley. Sing in your own voice

  • uh, no. what you hear is what you get. This is my own voice. I know my voice isn't terrific. I'm just a guitarist at heart, but that doesnt stop me from singing the songs that I love.

  • hey it takes alot for a girl to try and cover layne staley but you pulled it off quite nicely.

    some back up vocals would be nice though

    CANTRELL STYLE!

  • it was good, but the difference between that and great is that you need a lot more emotional range in your voice. in my opinion of course.

  • great job!!

  • Nice but too boring. Hey this is a rocksong and Layne Staley rocked it even with a hundred needles in his veins. Don't care about your neighbours, scream as loud as you can and than..... ROCK THAT SHIT. Keep playing ;)

  • sorry vocals were pretty shitty but nice playing

  • I think this was lovely!

    I'm a huge AIC fan too :)

  • you are prety girl and good cover

  • use an harmonic..¡¡¡¡ let me see more

  • Whoa, I might be the only girl to comment...

    That was fuckin awesome. You're about to inspire me to switch from drums to guitar.

    And radiofriendly said it: Layne would be proud.

  • you pretty busy there... haha

  • nice finger picking, great musical taste, but it would have sounded better without your vocals IMO...sorry

    AIC forever

  • that's awesome. i was just practicing this song and came across this. that's my kind of girl

  • Ceep practicing your voice will take you far one day

  • lets make a porno

  • learn how to respect.

  • Well done girl! I'm not from an english-speaking country but i can feel the song just as if i was from one.

    Keep on doing this, ur good.

  • Props for singing at the same time as playing a flawless guitar, very hard to do. Great job girl. =)

  • This song is very bold to do (Layne Staley)and you did great!!!!

  • Great! that was chill... keep on rockin:)

  • your singing nasaly, sing from your stomach, and sing like layne was next to you!!!

    You got SkilllllllZ

  • How does one sing with your stomach!?!?!?!

  • Diagphram above your stomach and below the breast,you get a more pure sound, it will give the soft yet hardened sound to get up there with the best vocalists

  • just improve ur singing skills...

    ...and guitar too..

    ..ur bUtful though...nice job....

  • I think you did a great job..everyone is entitled to their own oponion and untill you guys who talk so much shit get on here and do better, keep your mouths shut.

  • I love it, great job. One of my favorite songs of all-time. :)

  • wish i could play it lol..very good playing, try to open the back of your throat and sing to prevent it from going nasal

  • Really good. Voice is good, just a little too nasally sometimes.

  • dont mind the blow job guys around here babe. Its just great even to have a girl to really listen to alice in chains and thats whats its all about...more people to not forget their greatness

  • Uh...ok. I'm sure there was an easier way to tell me to improve my singing. Now here's a comment for you: When you talk to people like that, they wont take you serously. It makes you seem like a immature, dumb, punk kid. Grow up first, dude, then you can come back here and tell me that I need to improve my singing, k?

  • hey dude lets cu do better if you can't then shut the hell up!!!! n keep eating your shit if u dont like it dont watch n from ur remarks i can tell ur just full of shit

  • wow!

  • Ok playing but the singing...sounds like micky mouse. Need more power in the vocals.Just sing it out, dont sing it into yourself

  • wow really good job i wish i could play guitar like u it would be freaking awsome keep on pickin

  • hey your really good how do you find tabs for the hole song

  • I can't remember. It seems like I've always known this song:)

  • good job girl. the only thing i can think of to help you out is to learn how to curl your pick in your fingers. other than that you have done a great job!!!!

  • this song is so dificult to sing and play...i think you did a great job...it is really fun if you can get someone to sing the harmoney with you :)

  • I know! I so wish i had someone to sing with :(

  • Christy, everyone has their own method of playing and your finger picking is very smooth. You do it different then me, but a handy little trick I use, which is hard to see in my cover, I cup the pic in the fold of my finger so I dont have to pause in the transition. Maybe it might be a trick you would like to try. Once again great job my friend.

    Rob

  • voice is kind of nasaly...good job playing the song just work on those power chords!

  • I know my voice is nasaly, i've never prided myself on that, but the whole power chord comment....what's up with that? Power chords are the easiest thing to play. I've certainly never had an issue with them. Thanks for the comment, none the less.

  • well im not trying to tear on you or anything by any means, just a little constructive criticism... it jus
