My Alice in Chains Playlist! • Alice in Chains
In this We Die Young guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this killer song from Alice in Chains note-for-note.
The tuning is dropped C# tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, C# G# C# F# A# D#.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell has some great riffs in this one. He has a very unique guitar style and comes up with some of the coolest riffs in hard rock history. The riffs in "We Die Young" are no exception. They sound massive while always retaining this eerie quality about them.
I will demonstrate how to play each of the riffs in the order that each appears on the original recording. I will also demonstrate how to play Jerry Cantrell's solo note-for-note.
I hope you guys enjoy learning this Alice in Chains early classic! Carl...

AIC will always be the ultimate grunge band. Jerry’s riffs are so purposeful and so damn fun to play! Can’t wait to get this under my fingers 🤘

great description of jerrys riffs, they are so straight to the point and rocking, no fluff, no BS. i always felt like AIC were more of a metal band than grunge, i never sensed any punk rock in their sound like nirvana or mudhoney or Melvins or even Soundgarden. AIC were always more just straight up metal with lots of classic rock and blues influence as well. you can tell that jerry also worships ACDC, lol. but it's all immaterial anyways, the bottom line is that AIC is one of the best bands ever, certainly of the 90s era, jerry cantrell is a master songwriter! rock on jamison!

@oxrjbizzle1984y 9 ай бұрын

all the grunge bands were quite different actually, nirvana, soundgarden, alice in chains, melvins, mudhoney, tad, stone temple pilots, i mean honestly none of these bands really sound anything alike, lol, maybe nirvana in the early days sounded similar to melvins but thats about it. they all had similar influenes but sounded so different from eachother....... @@samouellette5130

I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a lawyer? What a sick joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You

What's the "rig" under this? Obviously high gain and then some but is it a plug-in or an actual amp/pedal? As a valve amp user (usually more of a classic clean bluesy style) I'd be interested in seeing how I might get into this ballpark with my amps ( HiWatt DR103). It is going to have to be a pedal but I'd be interested in suggestions.

I find myself wanting to just slide up a fret on these bends (sorta Warren DiMartini = or George Lynch-style) because it seems to keep me from bending it funny. I know that's part of the ugliness of it but I like that it's more likely in tune. ha ha
