Notes

Live performance, early 1990s. Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a single Seymour Duncan JB humbucker for most Alice In Chains live shows in this era. The amp was typically a Bogner Ecstasy 100B, sometimes a Marshall JCM800. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section in live versions of 'Man In the Box'.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced wah pedal technique, expressive bends, and control of feedback, but does not involve extreme speed or complex shred techniques.
