From Black Gives Way to Blue (2009). Black Gives Way to Blue is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Alice in Chains, released on September 29, 2009, through a joint venture between Virgin and EMI Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Jerry Cantrell Wino Les Paul Custom through a Bogner Ecstasy 101B, the rig we use for Alice in Chains' other songs from Black Gives Way to Blue, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
