Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Jerry Cantrell used his G&L Rampage with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge for most solos on Jar of Flies, including 'Nutshell'. The amp setup was a Bogner Fish preamp into a VHT power amp and Marshall cab. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this solo.
