Today we bring you the latest episode of String Theory, this time starring Alice in Chains guitarist, Jerry Cantrell. You can watch it above.
A web series created by Ernie Ball, String Theory explores the sonic origins of influential and innovative musicians. In the episode, Cantrell discusses his beginnings with music and guitar, his love of playing, plus his relationship with Ernie Ball and much more.
"I still enjoy the feel of the guitar on my hands," Cantrell says. "It’s really exhilarating to stand on stage in front of people...to elicit an emotion from them and to feel that emotion yourself. It’s a transfer of energy, and that’s really the whole thing."
