Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Icky Thump sessions). Jack White is confirmed to use the Airline Res-O-Glas and Silvertone 1485 for heavy riff sections on White Stripes records of this era. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight timing with the octave pedal, aggressive picking, and control of heavy fuzz to avoid muddiness.
