Guitar Lesson: How To Play Frogs (Unplugged) by Alice In Chains

[@robertjarzabek4059]

A few months ago I watched this video and got intimidated when I saw the verse, and now I can quite comfortably follow it. Ryan, your lessons work - it's so amazing that there's a laid-back dude across the ocean and he can teach me guitar!

"What does friend means to you? A word so wrongfully abused "... love the lyrics

[@RyanLendt]

that's a good line

[@brinkybrinkz]

The studio version of Frogs rocks. Layne's voice is haunting like the dungeon in Dracula's castle on that song. Dark and trippy. Fate, date, expiration date. Rockin lesson Ryan. You are hilarious!

[@RyanLendt]

:) cheers BB thanks

[@RyanLendt]

Dude thumbs up on the audio editing....or are you a crazy good ventriloquist!?!?! I'll admit it I jumped right to Eagles as the opposite of Frogs, sorry Greenies, I should have remembered opposites attract. Sweet lesson Ryan, danka! Auf Wiedersehen.

How can I get the Tab and also become a supporter plus still want lesson

[@RyanLendt]

glad you figured it out Jason thanks a lot :)

[@Kdaly433]

Can you please do the original version of Alice in Chains’ Frogs?

[@jacksully5580]

I don’t know why I’ve tuned my guitar multiple times and my ear is telling me that during the main riff the d string note if it goes up a fret higher it sounds in tune with the record but on your guitar it sounds right too. Confuzzled

[@RyanLendt]

hearing is an illusion

[@quiners9174]

Incredible job as usual Ryan. Is there another chord, perhaps "Emajor" or "minor" after the Gb in the chorus? Or maybe just open low Eb string?

[@RyanLendt]

I don't know, and my brain cells have developed Frogs fatigue after listening to this song in slow motion for hours over a few days. I defer to you :)

[@quiners9174]

@@RyanLendt listened to it a few times since and it's just the open Eb to go back to the verse riff! Anyway; it's an excellent/haunting song and I doff my cap to you for another super breakdown!

Bit of buzz on that E string. Heaviest on third fret I think.

[@Nieznany177]

I didn't find that I abandoned the song just because I couldn't get into the melody for some reason, I don't know why I generally don't have a problem with that

[@Rik-theking]

@@Nieznany177 Its a pretty tricky song I gotta say, I'll just stick with the other unplugged songs for now

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

Have you covered better man yet?

[@RyanLendt]

it was like my second or third video :)

[@patprime7320]

At least you didn't hit them with a stick you monster!! But those poor bells

[@RyanLendt]

i would never hit a frog with a stick. a boot or a hammer is my instrument of choice.

[@RyanLendt]

in all seriousness when I was digging the trench for turtletown 2.0 i painstakingly removed three dozen toads from the rocks in the trench so they wouldn't become a permanent fixture in the cement. Now there are zillions of teeny tiny toads hopping about and I bet they are the offspring of some of those. Also, did you know that the difference between frogs and toads doesn't exist scientifically - it's just a colloquialism that toads spend more time on land and frogs more near water.. they are all frogs technically. Also also I'm told having lots of toads attracts snakes. I have had two encounters with some pretty large rat snakes in the past week as I've been tidying up (re: hauling shit off to the dump) our surrounds. Rat snakes are the good snakes, yet to see any copperheads on our property. Our neighbors see them all the time on theirs but I think that's nature's retribution because they are the old fashioned type of people to kill every kind of animal that happens to be in their way. Luckily they are hundreds of yards from our house. That reminds me I keep meaning to put out a salt lick. This has been your daily thought stream.

9/1/21. Do you think South Park would be funny without all the cursing? Would you let your kid watch South Park with all the cursing?

[@RyanLendt]

like many kids, our kid repeats everything he hears without knowing what it is. I think him watching South Park is a few years off yet...
