Learn How to Play Nutshell by Alice In Chains

[TsonicTsunami]

have to agree, the TV on in the background is extremely annoying!

Couldn't watch the whole lesson

[TheGavin1507]

well done man! thanks!!

[Travisperry2189]

Hey this is a great video covering a great song. But can you make a remake to this video without all the background distractions. Thank you.

[MYSTERY43SKATER]

diggin the alvarez got one to just not electric and mines is black

[lien0569]

Thanks, I finally learned this song but i have anxiety now from all the distractions and watching you keep glancing over to the right like some kinda sh*t was about to go down and you were planning your escape. Great lesson tho

[AnthonyLive92]

Thanks dude helped me out

[goombawa]

great vid...tv was brutal but was able to push through it

[Heathenpat1]

that was so helpful! great job man!

[cyborgar15]

fuckin backgound noise!!

[TheDievil6]

fuck tuning down

[JoeyOhm]

Dude! this is awesome but re-do and cut that background garble out. I need to focus on lesson not female or snake charmer in background _ Layne Stanley woulda said "shut the Fck up, thanks"...appreciate your efforts tho ;)

[mrkuyukot]

@JoeyOhm

I completely agree, except his name is Layne Staley.

[JoeyOhm]

@mrkuyukot ....I stand corrected, and thank you for a decent reply, Re-reading my message I sound like a jerk and probably deserved negative retort; i meant to be a wisenhiemmer and no more; apologies. Great playing still..and turn the volume bud. Keep rockin ;)

[troycleveland]

Why do you always have little annoying distractions in your vids? Eating, TV, messing with your computer... Don't get me wrong, I can't do lessons like you do so I appreciate the lessons but come on dude... Even you are eyeballing the TV.

[MrJeeping69]

[dimestoresymphony]

Who the fuck can actually watch this wth the stupid TV in the background? i couldn't tell you if he's good, or not, because it's too annoying to watch. Good job, dude!

[1badfinger]

ya might wanna turn your TV off while making vids :o)

[PerfectProspect]

That's not the strumming pattern used in the song. This sounds completely different.

[pillianspyro]

you are a really good teacher, you actually know some people, like me, dont really know chords and you sit there and explain it, thanks!

[Dravenic1]

hey dude

please when you make tutorial guitar video

please sit more closer to the camera

because some people can't see what chord you play it

but thanks for teach me how to play that song

[tjpipes]

lol go to the guy in the red shirt and beani cap hes ok

[Magnumscoffeefreek]

since everyone is bitching about the strumming being wrong. Does anyone know a lesson video that has a good strumming explanation?

[geoffcorc88]

the strummin is a bit off...

[themachinegunn]

you dont even play it right "pointer finger"

[cutiekoola]

funny i was gonna request you do this song :D

[chamz06]

good tht ye posted but the strummin is wrong lad

[puchodog1977]

aaron.. take this one down and redo it after studying the song.. most of your videos are good .. this one sucks... background noise and bad stumming.

[kager1969]

Ummm...have you heard the song there duder? Cause uh, those them notes you're play'in may be right, but you're strumm'in it all wrong...I would think someone who oviously plays guitar would also hear that???

[MrEspLtd]

Oh it;s not nutshell !! I'm appreciate you play guitar but it's not nutshell

[ntn777]

that is not nutshell!

[metzgorus]

The strumming pattern is totally wrong. :(

[yourtubeUK]

If you think you can do better post your own video instead of criticising others you C**t

[pradinni38]

man you suck...

[Mrstupid7]

Stupid Cadd9 pattern is ruining me. Everything else is easy but i cannot get that damned strumming pattern for some reason.

[loknloll]

first of all, turn off your tv. and second, you play it wrong.

on the final chord, you lift the third finger up and down, not the index. that way you get the real haunting alice in chains sound... try it dude.

actually, try listening to the record. music is not math, it has a feel.

[thomasad28freedom]

Thanx Man! The rythm is always the hard part for me... You made it easier. thanks!

Thanks man you really helped me a lot with many songs, i play guitar now for a few month but can already play songs most likely thanks to you. May you could add tutorials where you explain some typical chords you use in the songs like these one used here, i had to look them up in another tutorial vid but if they were all by you you could add the link of one chord in the info at the right bottom so the users could easily find you explaing single chords. Thanks for your Tutorials go on with that!

[raybo1984]

easily offended by swearing are we?lol

[gally042]

i just prefer not to use it and it makes you sound so angry with that and the caps lol

[raybo1984]

would have been a good video if it wernt for the FUCKING TV ON IN THE BACKGROUND

[gally042]

i agree man, but easy with the language if you can, i appreciate it man

[lawless101aa07]

Like it has been said before, the background sound is annoying as hell. But I just picked up a guitar for the first time 2 weeks ago and I can play this. The Josh guy doesnt even mention a whole cord. Thanks bro.

[gally042]

glad it helped

[rjp203]

Dude, if you are making an educational video about guitar, which relies on SOUND, turn off the TV or stereo or whatever that is!

[gally042]

yeah, i didnt notice it was on til after the video

[socialrepublicofNJ]

lol, i think when they transcribe these books, they don't just ask the band for the sheet music!? well, if i get an f-ing camera myself i can make a video two

[gally042]

usually they have like expert musicians who will tab it out, i dont think the band is usually involved, but i could be wrong since im not familiar with all the small business type things like that, but yeah make a video, im always up for learning different ways to play the same song

[socialrepublicofNJ]

Why the hell is the "g" cord not in my Alice music books???? It shows the EM7 and the CAD9, but not the "G"???

[gally042]

lol i couldnt tell ya

[RonfordBaker]

the first 'E' ever played, ie the opening chord is actually an Emajor - that is the first and only time it is played.

great tutorial though. I really like the way you teach!...however your rhythm is slightly incorrect.

if anyone really wants to learn how to play this song accurately on an acoustic guitar the best tutorial is to watch the AiC Unplugged video over and over!

[dammmnemily]

wow ur good

i can play it now haha

[gally042]

glad to help

[NIICKE]

please turn of the tv next time, it´s so annoying, other than that good lesson!

[gally042]

thanks, take care

[jeremiah123579]

hey man could you teach how to play got me wrong by alice in chains piz.and ur pretty good

[gally042]

hello, thanks for the message, for song requests you need to go to my website, the link is on my youtube page and click on the tab up top called request a song, then register quick and post the request, this way we can track and total the votes for each song, good luck

aaron

[Kadadj]

um.. stupid cuestion, but how do u tune a half step down?, i have a tuner, if that helps. I have a flat button i think, should i just press it?

[gally042]

if you have a tuner, you just press the flat button once and then a little flat symbol will come on screen, then you will just tune to E A D G B E because each of those letters will have the flat symbol on screen

[Kadadj]

thx, i tried it, and i think almost everyting sounds better in flat:D

[gally042]

hey man, i would have to agree with you, i think stuff has more color when its half step down

[Kadadj]

yah, but i you play that way everyones gonna complain

[gally042]

haha i only play the stuff to teach the way its played in the actual song dont worry

[manfuckthisshit]

You're fine. I don't know if you're into dude sex but I'd love to get your tight little ass in bed.

[TheCarlRay]

Are you using a soft guitar pick or one of those hard one?

[gally042]

hard, i use a soft one when i play my electric guitar, but hard on my acoustic

[izblah]

Nice guitar... (I got the same Alvarez...)

[gally042]

thanks man, i love it

[Dancuzican]

hah man ive learned like 5 songs from you already i like the fact that you explain what the keys are and were your fingers go, others just say okay hit g, and ive been playing like 2 weeks idk what my chords are lol...thanks man i appreciate all your videos if i can play them and only been playing guitar for 2 weeks, that means ur a kickass teacher haha...take it easy man btw liked ur ring tone linkinpark ftw

[gally042]

thats awesome, and i try to actually teach it instead of just playing it, thats awesome man, haha yeah no more sorrow, and good luck bro

[Dancuzican]

thanks man, hardest part of playing for me is remembering where to put your fingers on the chords fast enough to play in beat lol..i guess ill get it sooner or later

[gally042]

haha yeah you will get it, just need to keep working at it

[gally042]

haha yeah i had too many distracting things going on in the background, i tried not to do that anymore lol

[dangzard]

lol anyway...what were u watching?

[gally042]

haha i have no idea, id say probably comedy central or espn that all i watch, so one of those im sure

[dangzard]

koo lol

[gally042]

haha

[gally042]

thanks a lot, i really appreciate that

[yesitsathing]

awsome! p.s. is that halo3 in the back round?haha

[gally042]

haha no that was my ringtone, its no more sorrow by linkin park, but it does sound like halo 3 theme song

[brysonz]

Just how i play it. Great tutorial minus t.v. in the background. You did a great job explaining the strumming which is crucial for this tune to sound right.

[gally042]

hey man thanks, yeah i know the tv is something i definately should have turned off, thans again aaron

[xerosthemonk]

thanks for the vid man. this is one of the songs i want to learn how to play the most. nice linkin park in the background, btw.

[gally042]

haha thanks thats my ring tone, take care man and thanks for the comment

[dachozn1]

nope hate to say it but you are playing it wrong. nice try though.

[gally042]

thats the way alice in chains play their acoustic version, ive watched them

[musicman451]

Would you rerecord this without the TV in the background?

[hellraiser259]

badass every other video made it hard to understand and difficult but u made it simple thx alot man

[gally042]

thanks man, glad to help

[telltalemse]

this is really cool, im glad how you just did it like seriously lol, a lot of ppl put up these type of videos just to show off how much they know and stuff like that. its cool how you explain the cords and all. thnx man

[gally042]

hey, thanks a lot, i really do appreciate that, i am just trying to help others with something that has been so much fun for me, let me know if you have any questions and we will get it taken care of buddy

aaron g

[greenphroggy]

thank you so much for this! i've been trying to learn this song and have been getting stuck on the rhythm part. seeing it and hearing your explanation helps tremendously! not there yet, but a lot closer!

[gally042]

hey you are welcome, i am glad it has helped you, take care and good luck

[homehazard]

the background is distracting.

[gally042]

yeah i know it is, i may re record it so its not so annoying with the tv and my phone and everythin

[Mikes2624]

prety nice leson man,but the tv next time switch off please :)

I cant to get the right tune I dont heave tuner but I will keaping traing cause this is sooo great song thanx

[gally042]

haha i wanted to turn it down, but my buddy was like you won't even be able to hear it lol, so he was watchin tv, next time ill kick him out haha

[gally042]

yeah i will try to do that here in a little bit, watch for it

[gally042]

awesome, let me know if you have any other questions or anything, soon you will sound jsut like the album im sure

[gally042]

hey man, ok when u look at ur tuner it has 3 lights up top the one on the left is a flat sing looks like a b, i just take my tuner and leave it at 440, then tune down until my first string sounds like the fourth fret of my second string, then tune the rest down, or just tune your strings so they are as far left on the tuner as you can get before the letter changes up top, does that help at all? i know its a pretty crappy description lol

[gally042]

yeah sure man, basically a guitar in regular or Standard Tuning is EADGBE, this song the strings are tuned in Eb (b meaning flat) so Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb, what kind of tuner do you have and then ill figure out more specific directions to tune ur guitar

[gally042]

hey man, are you tuning your guitar down half a step? that gives it a lower more mellow sound like they use when they play it
