Them Bones Guitar Lesson - Alice in Chains - Chords/Rhythms

[@smokingskullq8539]

Seemed difficult to me at first. However, after listening to the song a million times and getting the timing, all I need is to practice. Pray for me 😂

[@kaydgaming]

How’s progress

[@dvango7090]

What is the fraction?

[@edgemaxxer1573]

the hard part is the time signature

[@RickHavok]

Its in 7/8 time. Count to 7, not 4. 4 Would be eight 8th notes.

[@garrettturner436]

Progress check in?

[@Reslo]

I’m always amazed no one talks about the time signature for this song. It’s what gives it the groove that it has. The main riff just wouldn’t be the same in 4/4.

[@iamblznmtldudebro]

clifton newjersee I love when a song uses anything outside of 4/4. Only my musician friends can appreciate it.

[@corytrees3797]

7/8

[@SwampEye1]

Dude.. I was asking myself the same ... I watched 3 instructual Videos, but none of them mention the Time Signature... Glad you mention it finally

[@XanVicious]

its what gives the song such a visceral feel, i love it.

Dude, i freaking love you. Every time i look up a song, here you are. Never fails. Amazing body of work you have. Now lets learn that Them Bones solo.....

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Thanks man! Just in case you can’t find the solo video, it is here guitarlessons365.com/them-bones-guitar-lesson-alice-in-chains/

[@joeywalker3072]

You read my mind bro

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

I play this song with my band, which is a 90s Grunge / Hardrock / partly Stoner Rock Tribute Band! We are one of the very few bands in Germany who play these wonderful Tunes of the 90s!!!! This is second generation classic rock!!!

[@davidzamora9973]

Jerry Cantrell actually STRUMS the heavy palm muted first riff. He doesn't do the obvious metal thing with all down strokes. There's a killer live video of this song from '93 and the music video to check with. It actually makes keeping time with the 7/4 rhythm WAY easier. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

[@adrianfytr35]

That's how I was playing it at first but then started playing it with the downstrokes after seeing Carl lol. Thanks.

[@LaurenOliviArt]

Damn!!

[@chrisanddaniel100]

loving these alice in chains love hate love woud be a good song to do

Could we have some Mad Season lessons please ^^

Your skills are really impressive and inspiring

[@justinguerra7134]

you should like always put the amp settings and stuff in the discreption

[@INVERTEDBUKAKI]

It's a Marshally type with distortion. Use your ears and dial it in.

I don't usually play Alice in Chains on my guitars - but when I do, I laugh my ass off and have fun!

Awesome brother ! Straight to the point . Thank you

[@gianesbaby-blues7383]

Perfect circle...Judith! Great instruction.

[@donnacolwell3988]

This lesson was exactly what I needed. Thank you. 🤘🤘🎸🎸

[@Irishmule169]

Jerry is the vibrato fkn king .. every chord has vibrato if u start playing his music .. if u shake that shit it’ll get good then..

[@Godisnotmyshepherd]

The first dissonant chord reminds me of kurt, playing the notes after the intro of smells like teen spirit. Everything‘s connected 🤯

[@jeremiahgilbert4932]

Been wanting to learn this one for a long time thanks man really appreciate it

[@richardmelville1920]

Thanks Carl! One of my favorites.

[@Strasmus]

Great walk through! Thanks for that.

[@richardrichmore8251]

Nice Sterling Majesty

[@trever52398]

amazing!

[@tomneal1789]

Smokin'! Rare to see Carl swap out the Stratocaster. Can't wait to practice this.

[@lislis1989]

I played drums for couple years and this helps so much in feeling the rhythm! I don't have a problem with understanding the odd time signatures (like Tool for example) but I struggle with grabbing chords:/

[@ethank4820]

This is pretty straight forward and easy but that solo, that’s gonna be hard I think.

[@jimmyjameslee7189]

sweet thanks man

[@eriklidb]

Good work!

[@ibrahimlahlou4228]

hey Carl ! Please do A lesson on Ride The Lightning from Metallica , since we cant find any appropriate one (riff) ,it'll be really appreciated and useful

[@garrettallman3832]

Yes dude absolutely my favorite song! Metallicas Classic songs are the best dude!

[@simonrourke1978]

Another great lesson Carl :-)

[@claytonlogan4240]

Awesome lesson. Thank you

[@robvantour9757]

great heavy drop c# tune. its not very difficult to learn and it sounds bad ass!!! are there any effects being used on this tune?

[@joeywalker3072]

Carl I’m jealous of your guit fiddling skills 🤣

[@beeftismo2228]

Love you Carl!

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

thanx carl, this song is so badass! such strange but infectious riffs! alice in chains never should have been considered a grunge band, they clearly were a metal band imo...with a big blues influence as well!

[@43gone03]

i don't really consider them grunge alot on AIC but some of it were but not all of them

[@rosangelasantos5625]

Perfect !!!😮😍😱

Thanks! But i need 1 guitar for drop c# tuning because i broke the strings after i tune it back on e standard again 😆
