Black Gives Way To Blue by Alice In Chains Artist: Alice In Chains Title: Black Gives Way to Blue Album: Black Gives Way To Blue Tuning: (low to high) Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb (half step down) Tabbed by: luckyshot60 None of the tabs on the site were quite accurate or were missing parts so I figured I’d it all in one place. There are three guitars in the song: Guitar 1 is playing the rhythm part tabbed out, 2 is the lead guitar, and Guitar 3 is playing chords. I didn’t specifically put “Guitar 3” but the chords it is playing are above Guitar 1’s parts. Credit to K!!LsWITCH’s Guitar Pro tab for helping out some with the lead guitar. The guitar may not be tabbed perfectly (some of the slides may be bends etc.) but all the notes be there. This tab doesn’t give the timing but just play along with the song and you should get hang of it! Alright, that’s enough rambling, enjoy the tab.
