In this guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all the chords for Alice In Chains' massive hit "Rooster".
Released in 1992 off of their Dirt album, the unique sound of "Rooster" shot this incredible song to the top of the rock charts.
In this Rooster guitar lesson I will not only take you through all of the chords, but also the riffs and Jerry Cantrell's guitar solo note-for-note.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell is one of those few guitar players that have a knack for creating highly original yet musical guitar parts. Probably the most musically striking things in "Rooster" would be the strange chord voicings used during the verse and pre-chorus section.
Those chords are very easy to play if you are comfortable with basic bar chords, however, the sound they create can be pretty dissonant. But you will find that Jerry Cantrell and the rest of the guys in Alice In Chains make it work very well.
The dynamic contrasts found in "Rooster" do a great job of keeping things interesting throughout the entire song. Even the chorus riff is highly original and effective.
Jerry Cantrell's laid back solo contains an octave shape throughout, played off of the 6th string. You will also hear a wah pedal in the octave guitar solo as well. I won't be using a wah in the video lesson though, I will just be showing you the notes.
Hope you guys enjoying learning one of the greatest hits from the 90's!

Alice in Chains songs seem to just get better the more you listen to them. Such a kick-ass band. Carl you are an awesome teacher and thank you for making me a better player.

It ALWAYS amazes me how some of the most iconic songs are so simple in their structure. I''ll give you another example... NIN's "Hurt." My God those chords are Am, C and D.

I cant thank you enough for all you do.
I hear Layne singing in my head when he plays 💗💗💗
Hey Carl, thanks a lot for all the lessons! One of the best learning channels on KZread for sure. I was wondering if you can also mention in the video description how you set up sound effects, so that we can set up the right sound too when playing. Once again Thanks a ton for all the knowledge and great explanation! Cheers from London!
Such a good teacher Carl, your lessons are so easy to learn riffage. I'll always buy your gear and watch your videos because 90% of them are songs I love. Thanks!
Dude thank you so much for making this! I really love your videos and I have no doubt you are the best teacher on KZread
Thanks man! Performing this cover with a band soon. Very helpful for me to actually learn the specific parts!
Thank you for all you do Carl.
your lessons are perfect carl, thanx once again....
Carl Brown you are the only person I turn to to learn songs the first and only. you have the best lessons for advanced players. What the hell is with the ads now I know everybody needs to make money but these ads in the middle of your lessons are horribly distracting the ads on KZread are out of control!!!
Dude, you rock! Love the lessons....spot on in each case IMHO.....thanks and keep up the great work!

Great lessons Carl. This is 1 I can maybe manage to do lol. I'm still a rookie. 1 question... when you tune the guitar, a 1/2 step or any step... doesn't the scale patterns change too?

No it doesnt. I personally tune it to e flat by putting a capo on the first fret, then use the tuner as if you tune it as usual.

Hey Carl, or anyone else here: I need to know which effects were used in this song! I'm just about positive it's flange, chorus, and distortion. And advice about specific pedals, and settings? I searched Google, and didn't find any definitive answers.
@mygabrielle7477

I’ve tried phasers, flangers and chorus and they all will work even though it might not be exact. But if you have a good fundamental tone and you play it well you’ll sound good. And also you will need a wah pedal too of course. Other than modulation pedals I usually plug straight into a Elmwood Modena m60. Any Marshally type amp should work though. If you get your drive from a pedal I’d try a fulltone ocd or if you want more saturation try a Suhr Riot or a Angry Charlie. Hope that helps Linda
