How to Play "Dam That River" by Alice In Chains | Jerry Cantrell Guitar Lesson

[@tommyd1871]

Jerry is the RIFF MASTER and the most underrated of all time.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Tommy D yea very cool player, and super melodic too!

[@vincents9620]

no lies spoken here🤘AiC🤘

[@SlowToe]

Awesome. Love this whole album ❤️

[@LetsPlayAll]

Brian Madden cheers Brian! Yea it’s even more fun to play along to than just listen so go get your guitar buddy!

[@jfiery]

Best channel on YT. They opened their sets at Lolla 93 with this song.

[@LetsPlayAll]

J Fiery ahh thanks J appreciate it mate! What a banger to open with 😎🤘🤘

[@doomzillah]

You've got the BEST lessons... and you do at a pretty good pace. Thanks for the time you put into these.

[@LetsPlayAll]

You’re welcome mate!

[@johnpeace6968]

This is rad! Nice lesson. You go through the whole song piece by piece, taking your time but not beating any dead horses. I've literally only been "playing" guitar for four days so it'll be some time before I'm up to this skill level, but you've given me a wonderful goal!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Thanks John! Stick with it!

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

Needed to revisit playing this song. Just saw them last night in Washington state. Out of 7 times seeing them (3 with Layne) that was the best sounding show they've done. Absolutely killer! But we were dead center just forward of the mixing console, which is the sweet spot of any concert.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Amazing sounds like a great show!!

[@rileycooper7664]

I saw them there too amazing performance

[@Naughtforeye]

Been wanting to see them for sooooo long man. One day....one day lol.

[@LuisGarcia-re8jh]

Amazing stuff mate!!! Jerry is indeed the definition of “less is more” in grunge!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cheers Luis! Yea he’s awesome 😊🤘

[@dmusiclife5727]

Great job breaking it all down thanks man! The majority of the licks are pretty straight forward but really appreciate your breakdown of the solo!

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@dmusiclife5727 welcome mate!

[@ronanfreeburn3372]

great work - some of this stuff is beyond my beginner level but when I have a crack at tunes on this channel, I progress faster.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Great to hear! Thanks Ronan

[@KowboyUSA]

That sounds just like the song man.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Kowboy USA thanks Kowboy! I always aim to get them as close as poss 😊🤘

Let's Play All totally deserved man, well done!

[@marshallalexander8228]

Lovely! You will have tons of fun with Sludge Factory :P

[@LetsPlayAll]

Marshall Alexander thanks Marshall! Oh yes 😀🤘

[@chrisbeetroot]

What guitar model is that? My brain rejected it. Gibson Cabronita Jnr?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Chris Lay haha hey Chris, yea it’s a one off for sure, that’s what I liked about it! It’s a custom guitar I picked up second hand, made by a UK luthier called Dave Walsh under his Eternal Guitars brand. The brief was a Les Paul Jnr that plays like an SG....with a tele body. It’s an absolute rock machine!

[@nanneken]

you're a champ!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Cheers Lazlo!

[@TVoltG]

Jerry, please tell us some info on your guitar. I love that guitar. What's the details of it? Woods, electronics, who made it? Thank you and thanks for these videos.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Hey Bill! It was built by a UK Luthier called Dave Walsh who builds guitars under his Eternal Guitars brand. It's all mahogany, rosewood board and a single Bareknuckle pup. It's an absolute rock machine and great fun to play. You can check his website out here www.eternal-guitars.com/

[@AllGamingStarred]

@@LetsPlayAll so the strings are a half step down? or is it D tuning then a half step down?

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@AllGamingStarred tune your entire guitar a half step down then the E (or D# as it would be then) goes down another two steps (or frets worth). So it’s Drop D but then the entire guitar goes down half a step (or one fret). Hope that helps!

[@AllGamingStarred]

@@LetsPlayAll thanks a ton. i don't have any cash so have a like and sub

[@ahmedklai9443]

dude, can you please do a lesson for The Artist In The Ambulance by Thrice? please man! thank you, great lesson by the way!

[@LetsPlayAll]

Ahmed Klai thanks buddy glad you liked it! Thanks for the suggestion, at the mo I’ve got a load of Patreon requests that I prioritise so feel free to join us over there 🤘😀

[@GuitarMan-bm6vk]

You should do A little bitter by alice in chains

[@TonysMusic1974]

The solo is actually a mix of 6/4 and 4/4 with the last tiny bit 2/4

[@r.l.erdody7726]

anyone know what guitar hes playing not Jerry but the guy video?

[@LetsPlayAll]

I can help with that 😉 It’s a custom guitar I picked up second hand - Eternal Guitars by UK luthier Dave Walsh

[@AllGamingStarred]

i'm just going to do the main riff, too many gymnastics

[@LetsPlayAll]

Fair enough mate! Have fun :-)

[@dt9r]

Are you using the amp only? It seems the mids are a bit pronounced in a good way. Thx

[@LetsPlayAll]

Amp with Friedman BE-OD i think for this, i use that for all my Jerry tones! My amp is a Victory V40 so it does have a mid boost setting which i leave on but with EQ pretty much all at noon

[@dt9r]

Really nice tone

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@dt9r thanks mate!

[@thefakengx3839]

Noel and jerry they just love unicend bends ah ?

[@kingarmilla2057]

im Very confused how do you play octaves?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Place your first finger on the root note (say 5th fret on lowest string) and either your ring or little finger on the 7th fret on the 4th string (D string). Now what you want to do is mute the string in between (the A string in this case) - if you get the angle of your first finger right it should deaden this and that’s your octave! Hope it helps 🤘

[@kingarmilla2057]

@@LetsPlayAll wow thank you so much

[@thefakengx3839]

Does this work on acoustic???😭

[@LetsPlayAll]

TheFAKE NGX most definitely! 😀🤘

[@NPC-30]

0:40 Down another step or down one halfstep?

[@LetsPlayAll]

@@NPC-30 ah mis spoke down 1/2 step. Need to redo this one as I think some tab isn’t bang on either haha

[@dankrist5395]

Dam that thumbnail.

[@Nile8765]

god is it just me or am i playing the main riff wrong because it really hurts my ring finger doing the 3 string power chords

[@LetsPlayAll]

i tend to use my pinky rather than my ring finger if that helps! comfier for me

[@Nile8765]

@@LetsPlayAll i will try that later. Thank you for the help.

[@r.l.erdody7726]

if your guitar has high action itll be harder, but with a really nice guitar playing drop C# outta be pretty easy

[@Nile8765]

@@r.l.erdody7726 Lol almost 3 years later, you may be a bit late, though I still appreciate it bro. The problem was I was still so new to guitar I had no dexterity or strength since i was only playing for like 2 months at the time. Crazy to think that was almost 3 years ago. Time seriously goes so fast.
