New Guitar Video – Man in the Box (Acoustic) by Alice in Chains

- lmn

Continuing with the Grunge nostalgia, here’s a song by one of my top bands from the whole Seattle Grunge scene – Alice in Chains! I’d uploaded a cover of this song a long time ago on YouTube, but this one is special. I spent some time coming up with an acoustic arrangement for the song, and did a proper recording on GarageBand with some video editing help from my wife, Nina. And I’m uploading it as a tribute to this amazing band on the 21st Anniversary of the release of their debut album Facelift.

Happy anniversary, Alice in Chains!

This is one of the first AiC songs I heard that got me into the band. While I had the broken finger, I also took some time off the fast licks and finger-intensive playing to learn some wah coordination and this was a great song to begin with. I used a Vox wah pedal here that I bought years ago. A bit squeaky but it worked alright. There’s still a few rough edges in this final recording and this is the result of the time I was willing to spend on perfecting it. Another Rush song coming up afte this!
