Like A Stone


Like A Stone is a Chris Cornell solo rendition from his 2011 acoustic album Songbook. This intimate acoustic arrangement showcases Cornell's powerful vocal delivery and emotional phrasing, making it an excellent study for understanding dynamics and tone on electric guitar when playing in stripped-down arrangements.

  • Cornell's Songbook album features reimagined versions of his most iconic songs in acoustic settings.
  • The song's emotional depth rewards careful attention to fingerpicking dynamics and sustain control.
  • Released in 2011, this version demonstrates how electric guitar techniques adapt to intimate acoustic contexts.
