Man in the Box

By: Alice in Chains

Absolutely iconic riffs. The early AIC songs were so ahead of their time. Can’t believe this was released in 1990. There is a tutorial on Youtube where Jerry himself plays this, so that was great to reference to get the rhythm down as close as possible.

For the leads, Jerry sometimes played things in different positions so I found the earliest live footage I could to base the tab on. We split the solo in two sections simply because this is how it’s done on the album.

It’s hard to show a talk box in a video with the head is cut off, and it doesn’t work great with the modelling software anyways – so we didn’t add that in.

Isolated TRACKS (mp3)

Here are the drums, bass and other background tracks to jam along to Man in the Box. I've also included all of my isolated guitar tracks in case you really want to hear what's going on. Isolated tracks are normally very difficult to find online, and can be very helpful in cracking a difficult solo tab.
