Notes

Studio recording, 2000s (Elephant-era White Stripes). Jack White is well-documented using his red Airline guitar and Silvertone 1485 amp for most heavy White Stripes recordings, including 'Jolene'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific track. No evidence of additional pedals beyond fuzz/distortion for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires aggressive attack and precise timing to maintain the song's raw, sludgy feel. The main challenge is controlling the heavy fuzz/distortion and keeping the riff tight.
