During the end of the solo guitar 1 uses his drive bar and hits
the B string 10th fret first, then A string open and has
it so his strings are very slacky towards the end.

Here is the correct way to play this excellent song. The other version is
terribly wrong. You don't need any crazy alternate tunings besides the usual
1/2 step down.
Okay, here is the CORRECT way to play Rooster by Alice in Chains:
(As always, tune down 1/2 step!)
Intro:
=
Guitar 1 (clean w/ chorus) =
[F#] [F#7add4] [A] [Aadd2]

1st verse:
Guitar 1 repeats intro
Guitar 2 (w/ dist. & envelope filter) plays:
