Man In The Box by Alice In Chains

    Intro

    Take the time to play both the lead part and rhythm parts over all the audio samples below. For example, play the lead part over the audio of just the rhythm guitar.

    Guitar 2

    Here is the lead part that doubles the vocals in the intro. You’ll need to use a wah-wah pedal if you want to replicate the sound used in the recording:
