What i love about cantrell playing , and maybe i am wrong here but i have listened to a LOT of guitar riffs and they are pretty perdictable, excellent but still you know that series of chords is coming. Jerry selects patterns of playing that keep the listener a little off centered. I never heard another player do this. It is a signature of his own which makes him unique. Also he isnt really the kind of guitarist to dazzle you with clamming swift changes of succession in speed metal sequencing. Thats what truly makes a exceptional guitarist to stands out from the pack. Jerry ays with his heart more than his head. He doesnt try to impress you, he just fucken does!! He just uses his tools selectively to bring that music to life. Very gifted musician and songwriter who is humble about it. I fucking love his music and so glad he is still out there creating it in 2018.

@roosterj25994 жыл бұрын
The Black, (Corporate Sell Out) Album was the beginning of the end for Metallica as we knew them. Hell, some people think the Justice album was just as bad. I'll admit, I love the Justice album and I actually really do like the Black album. As far as Kirks chops? Yeah. He was milking the wah pedal hard and not dazzling us as he was before. AIC bridged the gap between the Justice and Black albums and gave us Jerry Cantrell who was the breath of fresh air us metal guitarists needed in spite of them being considered the Grunge genre legends they became. AIC came to us as a metal act in 1990. Hippy Metal? Facelift caused me to shift over to what Jerry could show me. For me, Jerry took over where Kirk left off. I appreciate both Kirk and Jerry, but hands down Mick Mars is the one guitarist who got me out from behind a cardboard cut out of a guitar and into my hands a real guitar and caused me to want to learn and make music. Mick still inspires me to this day.

Another awesome guy with humility and loads of skill,seems the best guitarists are also really nice humble guys who just simply love guitar,notice how most of them have cool names,Jerry Cantrell,Tom Morello,Steve Vai,Jimmy Page,James Hetfield,Angus Young,always seem to have cool names,just cool as

I admire your work. I don't know if you'll ever read this. But, I appreciate Alice n Chains. Your very unique Jerry. There will never be another band like this. You just can't replace any of this. First time I ever heard any of the music. It caught my attention, quickly. Then went on to listen to interviews. And was hooked. I have to get all of this stored. Lol... Never gets old.

I like how Sean doesn’t always rely on his snare & sometimes uses toms in place of it in certain beats. I sang for a band, in Japan, in which the drummer played a lot like Sean, because he was influenced by him.

Nothing is better then when you find the master himself show real chords on the youtube for the .great song on the end of the video. Many thanks Jerry, i was young student when "Dirt" came out and me and friends from school loved to listen Alice in Chains in free time . I can say '92 was a great year for the music.

The Godfather. I saw him a couple times touring behind his solo stuff. So freakin' great. I've always like Boggy. Great writing and killer guitar.

I love his playing. He was always a big influence on my attitude as a guitarist. I'd rather see him play this stuff without the delay effect on his guitar, but whatever. The guy's a legend.

Well Elton’s (and Bernie’s) writing and his melodic sound was definitely a big influence in my life too! Life Jerry he’s still humble after all his success. He’s thoughtful and honest.
