Notes
Studio recording, 2004-2005 for 'Get Behind Me Satan'. Jack White confirmed use of the Electro-Harmonix POG as the core of the riff sound. No evidence of fuzz or Big Muff on this track; distortion comes from amp and POG. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the studio riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically simple but requires tight timing, aggressive attack, and control over the octave pedal's tracking for the signature sound.
