Alice In Chains is my favorite band. I’m only covering their songs out of respect and inspiration for them and to share my passion for their music. Thank you for watching:)
I would just like to thank everyone for all of the comments and support on this video. I’ve had a busy couple of weeks here in Alaska but things should slow down soon so I can get back to making more videos. Stay tuned for that and again thank you for watching:)
Excellent take on a lifelong favorite. I would absolutely love to hear you perform _Rain when I die_ and, I believe the rest of your subscribers would too. Get settled in Alaska, and we will stay tuned 😊
Yes it is. I’ve heard ALOT of nutshell covers and yours is by far the closest to the live mtv performance I’ve ever heard. And that guitar tone? I’ve been playing for almost 20 years and I’ve gotta say, it’s perfect. Great job bud.
Shit. I did not expect this. I saw the title (and how small the channel is) and thought "who tf does this guy think he is". I stand corrected. Nothing will ever compare to the performance by Layne and the boys that night....but this was really, really good. (Edit) A couple other people mentioned the guitar tone and i agree, I don't know what wizardry you used but thats one place where most people miss the mark- You nailed it
I knew the thumbnail would be playing with fire lol. But thank you man that really means a lot. I just wanted to do my best to show respect to AIC because they truly are incomparable
Man, this is far the best one cover of Nutshell I've ever heard. You've picked the instrumental and the vocals so precise.... Thank you and keep going. You made my night.
I just stumbled upon this. Not knowing just how damn amazing. I’ve been doing this for 40 years. That gave me chills and shedding a couple of tears. Thanks for this. Fills me with joy, to see youngsters keeping the oldies alive. Keep on truckin brother!
As a 50 y/o man that has seen AIC play live more times than I can remember, including Layne's last tour right before he died and seeing he wasn't long for this world, also personally play covers of AIC live in my own band and later by myself acoustically, all I can say is...great job young man. More than half the time people just butcher the living sh!t out of AIC covers...respect.
Ya I felt that man. Keep singing! If it wouldn’t be too much to ask I feel like you can pull off river of deceit by mad season. Thanks for sharing! Good job!
I clicked on the thumbnail because I thought it might be an over statement :P Glad you proved me wrong. The subtleties and softness are what does Layne justice. This is wonderful!
I am amazed by how close that tone is to the EP version, that is simply amazing. Those vocals sounded pretty close to Layne in my opinion and I'm certain he would be and is proud of your cover. Keep this up man that was an amazing cover, and the thumbnail definitely has backup 👍🏻.
Upchurch,Aaron lewis,billy strings,your right up there with some great artists doing this song,gotta have the emotion to pull it off.Congrats young man.Or should we say YOUNG GENTLEMAN.
Subscribed! That was amazing! I’ve always had the utmost respect for those who can play AND sing at the same time and you, my friend, do it exceptionally well!
Wow...just WOW. Took my breath away when you started to sing. Absolutely incredible job man! Alice in Chains is my favorite band and you did this song justice! Sending you love & support from Connecticut!
All I can say is that most covers can’t recreate the same feel the singer gives off this man put is so much emotion I could feel it and by that I can say I’m truly impressed
My best friend died from an overdose a few months ago. His father introduced us to AIC when we were kids. I listen to this song often. I look for covers to change things up and I am glad I found yours sir. I hope you crush it!
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for your support man and I hope you are not grieving alone. This song soothes a lot of pain for me and if my covers help anyone soothe their pain as well then I’m very honored
Ahh, so nice to discover a hidden gem on youtube. Very talented. Really hope these vids keep coming. Subscribed and will be keeping an eye on this channel.

We thank you. This was incredibly perfect and we appreciate the raw talent and dedication

@@BrutusBerserk That means so much:)
This is perfect. Thank You
Great job
I can't get over especially how well the guitar matches the original recording
Do you play?
@@jamiemartin6193 why?
Layne would be proud man
And Jerry!
@@willnicholls3 Indeed !
I don't think Layne would have cared unless you were obsessed with him.
He didn't have the most stable mentality.
@@davemeade4371 "NO ONE" has a stable mentality NO ONE.......Just saying !
Wow. As an old guy who grew up listening to Alice In Chains, I find this to be a worthy cover. You capture the melancholy perfectly.
I second that notion. Wow!
I third that notion!!! Nice!
I fourth that notion. Amazing!
And other things too!
Dang dude...the vocals, the tone of that Fender, just perfect.
Wowzers. Saying “nicely done” would not describe how good your cover of this deeply emotional song is. That was so good, dude.
That means a lot man thank you:)
Yes it is. I’ve heard ALOT of nutshell covers and yours is by far the closest to the live mtv performance I’ve ever heard. And that guitar tone? I’ve been playing for almost 20 years and I’ve gotta say, it’s perfect. Great job bud.
That means a lot man! Thank you so much:)
I agree! I've heard them all but this is the epitome of the love we feel for Layne & his legacy. What a freaking amazing job. 🥹💕🎶

My thoughts were similar. Blown away! That guitar sounds perfect as well as the vocals.
I was not ready for how good this would be. Very good interpretation of the song and such a great tone man! Congrats 🙏🏻
Thank you so much:)
Me pasó igual!! Excelente interpretación!!
500 subs, such a shame. You did this much justice. You deserve many more views/likes/subs. A diamond in the rough honestly, thanks for sharing.
Vibrato is spot on. Outstanding job all the way around.
Absolutely fucking amazing bro! I can hear the little lead parts playing in my head. Vocals and guitar tone dead on the money perfect!
I play and sing this song all the time. It is always a crowd favorite.
GREAT JOB!!!
wow, the tone, the playing, the singing, wow for everything
Man, this is far the best one cover of Nutshell I've ever heard. You've picked the instrumental and the vocals so precise.... Thank you and keep going. You made my night.
That means a lot:) Thank you so much for the comment
I talk with Layne on and off when I drop acid. He says he's proud of you
What's he like?
@@Joemcncheese Extremely chill, funny as hell, super down to earth and he's clean from smack.
I just stumbled upon this. Not knowing just how damn amazing. I’ve been doing this for 40 years. That gave me chills and shedding a couple of tears. Thanks for this. Fills me with joy, to see youngsters keeping the oldies alive. Keep on truckin brother!
Amazing cover!!! Blown away. My favorite AIC song and you rocked it!! 🤘
Great pick for a favorite. Thank you for the support!
I've heard lots of covers this is my favorite, killer job bro, Layne would be proud. ❤

Thank you so much man! That really means a lot
The chorus sounded perfect man. Congrats ! Amazing
I was apprehensive and basically came to talk trash considering its self titled "the best"...now i feel like a fool. YOU KILLED THIS
Yessssssss brother 💪👌🤙 The way you slowed it down just a tad and the tone of your guitar is just perfect, Evoking lots of emotions. Well done 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much!
Beautiful. I come back to this at least once a month.
Dude I know I commented before but I've looked around and this cover absolutely kicks ass. Layne would be proud.
Thank you!!
Ya I felt that man. Keep singing! If it wouldn’t be too much to ask I feel like you can pull off river of deceit by mad season. Thanks for sharing! Good job!
That’s a good song man I’d love to work on it. Thank you!
Great tune. I'd like to see that also if possible.
I was waiting for Layne to start singing, and he did. Damn good job.
I clicked on the thumbnail because I thought it might be an over statement :P Glad you proved me wrong. The subtleties and softness are what does Layne justice. This is wonderful!
F***********cking AMAZING! 🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Really good bro! This is my favorite song by Alice in Chains.
I am amazed by how close that tone is to the EP version, that is simply amazing. Those vocals sounded pretty close to Layne in my opinion and I'm certain he would be and is proud of your cover. Keep this up man that was an amazing cover, and the thumbnail definitely has backup 👍🏻.
Gives me chills...
