Tough part is playing this without bursting into tears.

[jake.porter]

*plays insanely melancholy intro* cut scenes to “HEY IT’S MARTY SCHWARTZ HERE” in the most positive tone ever. talk about an emotional roller coaster lmao

[goldensht]

Man the feeling of playing this riff all the way through well is such an amazing feeling. Such a haunting riff...

[Koubiak]

0:43 - Solemnly ponders at the meaning of life after playing one of the greatest riffs in rock history, a tear drop rolling down his cheek.

0:45 HEY WHAT'S UP YOU GUYS, IT'S MARTY

The emotion in your face during the opening is proof that this song hits everyone in some type of way.

More Alice in chains! They were the most talented musically of the Seattle scene

[RCSmiths]

My most relatable and favorite AiC song man! This song got me through quite a lot and made me appreciate the legend that is Layne Staley much more! Awesome work here man!

[GabrielHunter]

Marty, you taught me this song years ago. I played it yesterday for my friend and it brought tears to his eyes. First time that ever happened when I played for someone. I wanted to share that with you. Thank you!

[Gokus]

i love how you made this tutorial exactly when i discovered this song and started listening to it on repeat all day everyday. thank you very much!

[mammouth]

Can't watch the unplugged video on YT without tearing up. So emotional.

[brandonwright]

Love this song. Extremely simple but powerful.

[jamesthepeacock]

Been getting into guitar very recently, this guy has been better than any other teacher could ever be. He should be put into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! He deserves it, he evidently loves doing this and should be rewarded for it! Thanks, Marty!

[trentmoe]

Alice In Chains is such an underrated band.

[joshjacome]

I grew up in the Seattle area in the 80s and 90s. I can feel the damp air on my face when I hear this song. It captures it for me

[joaomanuel]

Finally, more grunge/rock songs :D
