Hope everyone is having a great holiday break! Here's a lesson video that fell off the radar in December. New content will be coming this week (Metallica - The Unforgiven!) Thank you again for all of the support.

Man in the Box

Absolutely iconic riffs. The early AIC songs were so ahead of their time. Can't believe this was released in 1990. There is a tutorial on Youtube where Jerry himself plays this, so that was great to reference to get the rhythm down as close as possible.

For the leads, Jerry sometimes played things in different positions so I found the earliest live footage I could to base the tab on. We split the solo in two sections simply because this is how it’s done on the album. It's hard to show a talk box in a video with the head is cut off, and it doesn't work great with the modelling software anyways - so we didn't add that in.

Amplitube tones and mp3 backing track added below.
