Alice in Chains - Nutshell guitar lesson for beginners
Found this useful? Please consider supporting me!

These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!

Like most Alice In Chains songs, Nutshell was originally recorded in Eb tuning, meaning the guitars are all tuned a half-step down. I've done this lesson in standard tuning so it doesn't match up to the recording, but the chord shapes used are correct. To change into Eb tuning you just need to drop each string on your guitar down by one note (low to high: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb). Alternatively, many computers will be able to pitch shift the song by +1 in the audio control settings so it matches standard tuning.

Nutshell is a very simple song from a chord point of view, but what makes it a bit tricky is the strange rhythm and timing of the chord changes. If you're not comfortable doing complicated strum patterns yet it's best to just try and get the chord changes down first and not worry about strumming. This is very much a feel piece so get familiar with when the changes are happening.

There are some little embellishments to the Cadd9 chords as you play, these can be improvised or skipped. I included them in the chord diagrams where I played them. Enjoy!

I've noticed, as a right handed guitarist, that watching lessons by lefties is easier for me, as its like a mirror and I position my fingers naturally on my guitar just by watching you do it. We need more left handed teaches haha

Dude, your video is the best one to learn from over all the other ones I've just been watching for this particular song. No talking, explains, nothing!!! Just a watch n learn style is pretty much your method AND I've already got it mastered fluently with its natural strumming rhythm.
Thank you so much.

A METRONOME. Thank you so much. I've been watching other tutorials and all of their rhythms suck because they don't use a metronome. Thanks for the quick and accurate tutorial. Keep using that metronome. Makes you much better as a player

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home

My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead

I found this video by accident, and glad I did, because I'm a left handed guitarist who LOVES Alice In Chains. Thanks so much. Good tutorial! Nice job!

Thank you so much for the beginner nutshell. Im having to start all over with learning how to play guitar due to bad habits from childhood. Please add a beginner tutorial for the solo. Only know starlndard tuni g and I play by ear. Any alice in chains songs. Espeacially junkhead, sunshine, down in a hole, bleed the freak, ober now, and rooster. Love stone temple pilots songs as well as nirvana. Im learning my chords and trying to understand chord charts. I was able to follow along with this easily because of the charts. Thank you again. Been through some traumatic situations and this os great therapy for me.
