Down In A Hole by Alice in Chains is played in the key of G. Originally recorded in the sounding key of G, 'Down In A Hole' by Alice in Chains is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 2, enabling guitarists to execute friendly F shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. To prevent hand fatigue on the challenging F barre chord, beginners can comfortably substitute an open Fmaj7 (xx3210) or small four-string F (xx3211) without sacrificing harmonic richness or vocal support. The pivotal chord transition occurs between C and F: anchor your index finger as a pivot guide and keep your fingertips close to the frets to prevent hesitation on the downbeat. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ✕ - ✕ ↓ ✕ - ✕ ↓ ✕ - ✕ ↓ ✕' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
