Man in the Box
by Alice in Chains
>From Facelift
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb
 
Verse
				 x?
|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
		x3			 		
|--------------|------------------|---------------|
|*------------*|------------------|---------------|
|*------------*|----------------5-|-----5---5-7---|
|---0-----0-0--|---0-----0-0-5h7--|---0---0-------|


Pre-Chorus					       Build Up
						       to Chorus 
						   x3 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
|------------------|------------------|--------------|---------------|
|*-----------------|-----------------*|*------------*|---------------|
|*-----1-1-2-2-3-3-|-----2-2-1-1-0-0-*|*------------*|---------------|
|--3-3-------------|-3-3--------------|---0-----0-0--|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|

Chorus (ad lib this progression, cuz I can't follow exactly what he does)
								  x4
|------------|---------------|-------------|--------------|
|*-----------|---------------|-------------|-------------*|
|*-----------|---------------|--5-5--5-5-5-|-------------*|
|--0-----0---|--3----3-3-3-3-|-------------|--5-5--5-5-5--|

For the solo, just repeat everything, the only change coming in the 
Pre-Chorus. For that you just play E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-| four times with 
same rhythm.

That's about it...this tab is hardly perfect, and I know where my errors 
are, I just don't know the correct way to play them, but it sounds decent 
when you play it. Any corrections would be greatly appreciated, etc.

Nutshell
by Alice in Chains
>From Jar of Flies
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb

It basically repeats this over and over again, with little improvUs to it.

			   x2
|----------7-5-|------------5-|
|--5-5---------|*------------*|
|------7-7-----|*------------*|
|--------------|--------------|

the next part alternates between these two things

|-5-5-5-5--5---|		|-7-5----------|
|--------------|	or  	|-----7-5--5---|
|------------7-|		|------------7-|
|--------------|		|--------------|

You can also play it one octave lower, starting on the third fret of the 
E string.  I can't decide which I think sounds better, so you decide for 
yourself which you'd rather play.

>From Dirt
Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb

Drums start it, then the guitar, then the bass comes in when the guitar 
puts on distortion.

Verse		    Pre-Chorus
     	     x?		  	  x4
|--------------|---------------------|
|*------------*|*-------------------*|
|*------------*|*-------------------*|

|*-----------------|--------------------*|
|*-0-0-2-22--------|--------------------*|
|---------2-2-3-33-|--555--777-0----/5\--|
                                 ^bend three times

For the solo, play the pre-chorus, the only change being the first three 
times you play it, bend the A three times, and on the fourth, hold the 
bend as usual.
