Alice In Chains - I Stay Away Guitar Lesson (FULL SONG)

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this I Stay Away guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this amazing song by Alice In Chains in it's entirety.

The tuning is Droped C# tuning. That is, starting from the 6th string, C# G# C# F# A# D#. Or if your tuner shows flats instead of sharps, those notes will be Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

The video lesson starts with me tackling Jerry Cantrell's instantly recognizable 12-string acoustic riff. I will be teaching this on a 12-string acoustic as well, but it still sounds great on a 6-string acoustic.

After the acoustic parts, I will then grab my electric for the pre-chorus and chorus sections. I will also take you through Jerry Cantrell's solo note-for-note.

Have fun learning this great Alice In Chains classic! Carl...

Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley songwriting are easily what makes AiC my favorite band of the Grunge era. Honest and heartfelt songs by them!

[ryankluge]

I can't stop thinking about how beautiful this song sounds on that 12 string

“Hey yeah....want to travel South this year.”

[StrangerEns]

Everything about this song is awesome

Especially when the violins kick in

Almost 1 million subscribers, much deserved. Most accurate and easiest to follow teacher.

[jamisonc]

You weren’t kidding among utilizing the twelve strong it sounds beautiful! I’m soooo glad to see AIC again!!

[ehemery]

I have been looking for a decent lesson of this song for years and I can’t believe I randomly checked after a few years and found one from Carl. Beyond excited. My favorite song of all time

[Metallicarule]

Such a unique and beautiful song- always wondered how he got that kind of higher note sound, played on a 12 string so that clears that up. Also, don’t know how Jerry comes up with such interesting and awesome ideas, truly a master of his craft.

Also kudos man, perfect lesson and video, nice job 🎸 👊

[jessejames]

Got super excited in the middle of class when I saw this

[pugster]

Thank you for doing this, I think most people don’t appreciate this song as much as I do. So beautiful.

[DaxTaylor.]

So much nostalgia in the 12 string, reminds me of my days of pro skiing, thank you for taking me back

It reminds me of skiing because I discovered it driving to go ski one day and I could not stop listening to it

[LeonardoOliveira-ewje]

That pre chorus lick haunts me. I've learned to play the solo in no time but that goddamn lick is being a pain in the ass

[ramoncruz]

super appreciative of this dude
i learned like everything i know from him

[jasonfredensborg]

Glad to see that 12 stringer out Carl, sounds like a chorus of angels...
