That's all you need, just make it work.
you are all wrong. the main riff at the start is obviously bass
why are you all so sad
I play the bass so i should know - its the bass !
tits.
its not a bass. go back to practicing the damn instrument.
there is no bass palyer in the band, its all guitar dude!
hey joshua, the tab worked out just fine for me after i put it all together.
thanks bro
White Stipes Rox!
No Bass player.
Only Jack White on Guitar and vocals with his ex-wife on drums.
while there is no bass player in the band that does not mean jack white doesn't own a bass. clearly it is in the bass range so it is either a bass or a guitar with a lot of effects on it
Josh your tab was pretty much perfect great job
try this one in drop f i could get it soundin prety dahm close
the tab is good but who i this with the bass comment, i mean on listen the first of song u think thats guitar
and who in the hell plays in f#com on its not tht hard to finger out
i think we all agree this webby sux buns! if anyone knows where i can get REAL tabs, plz e-mail me!

JUST WATCH THE VIDEO!
-Rob
ana is right..its definately not bass.
ana is right, it ain't bass..
It's definately guitar. It's in the bass range because Jack's using an octave pedal - I saw the band do this live on Friday night and it was all on guitar.
I saw them last night in london, not a bass in site!
It is done with a guitar and an octive pedal Yo!
Love this song!!-The thing that gets me about this song is, during the chorus you can still here the so called intro "bass/guitar" riff under the chorus full guitar riff so although he is playing only guitar it sounds like first a cool bass riff the the guitar kicks in for the chorus with the drums and bass underlineing the guitar any way thats my 2cents
its it a base with and octave pedel. jack white has said so in so many interviews
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU MORONS THINK ALL THAT MTTERS IS THAT IS A KICK ASS CD NO QUESTION ASKED, HOW THEY MAKE IT ALL SOUND IS PURE TALENT ON JACKS BEHALF. SO QUIT TRYNG TO FIGURE IF HE USES A BASS OR NOT YOU FIBERS!!!!!
dude,its not a bass or a guitar, its barry white
ahhhh yeah, can you dig it!
its a bass, its a guitar...shananananana your_mom
maybe ive been secretly moved onto another planet but isnt a bass just the first four strings of a normal 6-string guitar (EADG) i know they sound differnet, but turn the bass up and it sounds right. In the vid he has a 6-string but he needs it cos he plays the solo to high up for a bass so bassists can just play the main riff which i rekon is

There is No bass in this there is only An electric guitar and drums
its a guitar..
he uses an octave pedal
MOO!
Its definatly guitar ive got the real tab on seven nation army 2 if i CAN GET IT ON THATS THE REAL TAB
Yep ive just submitted the tab now all enjoy!!
satanat is clearly right i tried each of the tabs with my ovtave pedal and it sounds awesome. if you dont have a ovtave pedal i suggest you turn your mid and treble tones all the way down and your bass tone up all the way to achieve the right sound. so quit arguing!!!
This song is actually played in a major key tuning with a slide. Watch the video for seven nation army if you dont believe me. most of the tabs are right on the money tho. and yes, it is an octave pedal that jack uses.
i went to a white stripes gig and he played seven nation army on an acoustic guitar not a bass!!!!so all of you people who say it is a bass can shut up!!!!!!
Does Jack still use fisher price guitars and sears amps?
BTW Jack, I believe they are real.
r u sure its a guitar i thought i was a cello.
wat muppet could possibly think that hes playing bass a man that can play bass with his feet now thats incredible!
Its a guitar! Look at d vid, its d guitar, no further Qs bout wether its bass!
We saw them last week 4/15 and 4/16 in Detroit, and though it sounds like a bass, it isn't. He uses an octave pedal, like all the other geniuses have already figured out!!

You can work out the timing on your own. This is accurate.
Any comments to stuartfitzpatrick213@hotmail.com :D
they all sound exactly the samebut the vid does show its the 7 7 .... one cos he plays it high up, end of story , oh and his ex wife???? isnt it his sister
Yea, sister. Who came up with ex-wife?lol It is guitar! Jeez1 watch d vid n den comment, not a moment before u have actually watched it! Final!
does anyone know how i could get the tabs for "you got her in you pocket" - elephant?
Yeah, leo is right, they're a brother and sister act. People thought they we're ex's back when they came out, but if you read a few articles or go to their website, you'll find out that they're brother and sister.
its a plam muted guitar, probably in open G tuning
and the like to think of themselves as brother and sister, but they grew up together, married in thier teens, realised they bwere more like brother and sister. end of story. open g tuning, as in the video, he just plays the strings open at one point. and no way would there ever be bass
My tab is correct, but it is transcribed the same as:
e------------------
B------------------
D------------------
G------------------
A-7--7h10-7--------
E------------10-8-7
The way he Jack plays it is how I tabbed it before:D And I think thought they were brother and sister...but somehow became incestial and married...thank god i was wrong :D
he plays bass, guitar, drums, and octave pedal
thats not it at all dude
Chech out my tab seven nation army (2)and (3)!!its practically right!!
NO BAse its

Actually, they are NOT related. Jack White's real name is John Gillis.
If you don't believe me, search for "John Gillis" on google.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT!
Good thing we finally figure out it was an octave pedal. Though the video doesn't mean shit, they just play over the studio track, but I just saw him play this song on conan 5 minutes ago, and indeed it was a guitar. And no they aren't brother and sister you fucktards, look it up.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING TI THIS WAY FOR A WHILE ALLONG WITH THE CD ITS CORRECT HELL YEAH!!! JACK AND MEGAN ROOOOCK!!
they were married but theyre divorced and they use a bass guitar on the album but he does it on guitar when its played live
i agree, get a life! who cares! play wat sounds right, simple if u can actually play the instrument
This site is for guitar tabs not bass tabs so who cares bout bass,and theres only two ppl in band.... what more can i say
hey boys i just wanted to post this add to tell you that theres no need to fight for the damn tab or if theres a bass , but no there is no bass
and the beginning goes like this
E----------------------------
b----------------------------
g----------------------------
d----------------------------
a----------------------------
e--7-7-10-7-5-3--2-----------
lets get this straight, yes its a guitar with an octave petal, but the guitar must be in another tunning. He plays the chorus using a slider and to create a chrod using a slide you can only use one fret so play something like this:
d-------7
a-------7
e-------5
is impossible with a slider therefore the guitar is in a different tunning
It doesn't matter which of these tabs you use, or which string you play it on as any idiot knows if you fret the bottom E at the 5th fret, it is the same as an open A, genius. Also, he does use an octave pedal, and also an overdubbed guitar to play the riff over and over ad nauseam. This band are supposed to be retro rock, instead they are poor imitations. If I wanted to listen to retro rock, I'd listen to the bands they're actually copying. The Who, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones also tended to change the song as it progressed, rather than repeating one (bad) riff. I hope they learn to play their instruments properley before their next and final album, otherwise they're wasting a good recording studio in London.
look all you friggen morons, first, the white stripes did NOT copy the beatles, the who, or the rolling stones, second the drummer is not his ex-wife AND sister, third, there is no bass in the bad, and fourth if youll scroll your lazy ass back up to Joshua's tab, its correct
its, this is right.

You are all losers! Stop arguing over something so frikkin stupid and just play the thing!
my thoughts exactly
does anybody have the solo??
i want to play this song with my band...but...i need the solo, if u have it, send it to: eric_lacelle@hotmail.com
thx
Yeah Josh nailed the whole song...but the solo needs work...anybody figured it out yet...
BTW its not a bass or a guitar it's a harpsicord.
look, you all sometimes argue when there is nothing to argue, because someone plays it in a different tone, but it's the same....
Dan well done on the tab!!!
Finally a a brain in the bunch... for the rest of you...DropD Should put everything else together for you.
I learned this song the first time I heared it.
DropD and pull your head outta yer ass!!!!
Be creative and make your own music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH YEAH!!!!
No BASE EITHER DROP D
i think that it starts on the B as most people have written then the middle bit is G to A and then for the chorus it is played in E on the 7th fret on the A string. Anyone know the solo??? e -mail me. PS it is played on guitar cuz there are only two people in the band. MEG AND JACK...never heard of effects pedals. dickheads.
it's not drop d
it's a nifty thing called an octave guitar in which i think the low E string is tuned down a whole octave. but i don't know what the rest of the strings are
it's definitely not standard tuning, cus he uses a slide
White stripes suck learn a real song

learn a real song like 1979 fromt the smashing pumpkins
i agree with Baitsen..... im playing it now and it sounds fine... and if it is wrong....go to a different site for tabs....
hey, it sounds like a bass, but its really him using an octave pedal to sound lower, but he changes it when he goes into the rest of the song.
I don't know if anyone saw Conan last week, but when they jammed this song, it was definetly with the octave pedal. But regarding the tuning, it's standard. I followed his fingerings and could play along with them identically, obviously one octave higher, cause I don't own one of those pedals. Food for thought.
The seven nation army (3) is the most accurate, even though the solo isnt perfect. This tab is wrong.
I saw jack play the song on Conan and he used a guitar slide for the solo and the solo is preety much the same thing as the chorus, but one octave higher
Ok, 2 things seem obvious to me here... Am I alone?
This song is obviously either played with a 7 string guitar, OR it's run through an octave dropper (effects pedal, etc). As far as the KEY, standard tuning matches this:
------------------
------------------
------------------
-----5------------
-7-7---7-5-3---2--
------------------
chorus matches pretty easily. Maybe that will clear SOMETHING up? I mean people, it's not like it's a competition; just offer up stuff :)
ok wait a sec...i love this song yet i have a question...everyone says that he has a pedal with an octave thing on it..well i own a DigiTech GNX 1 and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get to his octave or tuning...and what tuning exactly is this song in cause in the pre chorus he is playing like a g then totally open..thx!
Yall do know The White Stripes dont use a base in any of there songs? K thnx bye

12--12------12----10---8--7
And its a guitar they dont use a bass!!
6-string guitar, intro played intirely on the A string (live) and yes he uses an octave pedal and no one cares if they are related and is this lick all so important that it has to be played EXACTLEY like the writer playes it?? Oivay! And yes there are also a couple of decent blues tunes on the CD.Check out ZW's "Black Lable Society's" newest CD for some legitimate guitar accomplishments...CIAO, baby.
ok..if you guys watched Conan like you should...the Stripes were on all week last week and played this song. The tab that the guy posted is correct...it's just Jack's guitar and he plays it just like the original tab displays. Have a great day...listen to more tom petty
The funniest thing on here was the comment about Barry White....aaah yeah, can ya dig it? Anyway, you gave me a lot of information on the White Stripes. There's no bass in this song...they aren't ex-husband and wife...they played on Conan...London has a good recording studio...the Who and The Beatles were mentioned...and the nude dude is a coo dude with a fresh attitude. Thanks for tabbing this about five million times for me...and for keeping the conversation alive. It was really entertaining! CKY force change now

You're never gonna get it exactly right cos jack uses a 7-string guitar with a B-string below the low E string. Just incase you have a tasty B-string its
B:-5-5-8-5-3-1-0.
If you just have a 6 string just play
A:-7-7-10-7-5-3-2
on the A-string, its an octave higher but the notes are right.
Stu is right.So is sel0tape. The rest of you are are totally off!!!
Try dropped D tuning.
Use lots fo distortion.

Figure out the solo for your own self.
hey guys, uh, the chorus and one chord of the pre-chorus is played on the D,G and B strings with a slide. FIGURE IT OUT!
the intro goes.....
7-7-12-9-5-3--2
Just play it.. its a simple song.. a ten year old kid could work it out.. The Audio Engineer who recorded the track is the only one who knows wats going on.. so move on...(start playing your own music)
hello. just thought i'd add my comment as everyone else (it seems to be the popular choice these days). now, i have two questions. are you guys shure its not a fiddle he's playing with? oh and question no. two. how come you never see the white stripes wear pink. i mean come on, there's gotta be at least ONE red sock mixed up in all that white wash. besides, i bet meg wears black underwear. well i'm out!!
Since i've been in many bands and am an aspiring music producer i can say for definate it IS a BASS. people in studios like to make their albums sound fuller, especially in the white stripes case, so jack uses a bass for the ryhthm of the whole song, overdubs with a guitar. Obviously when they play live they are a two piece band so he will play it with just the guitar, using an octive pedal if he so pleases.
He would have used a bass on the album version instead of a guitar/octive pedal simply due to the fact that a bass sounds a hell of a lot better and Jack probably has some damn fine basses that he like to play as a change from the guitar!!!
none of you are right i'm afraid.
the guitar is strung to open G: d,b,G,D,G,D
the chorus is played with a slide like thus;
d|-9--9/12--9--7--5--4--|
b|-9--9/12--9--7--5--4--|
G|-9--9/12--9--7--5--4--|

Have you the drum tab of seven nation army ????
plz !!!!
it is a bass--they say so in Rolling Stone magazine--if you think it is not a bass you're an idiot--i don't care what they play live, they recorded a bass--check out my band at www.angelfire.com/rebellion/thesecondhand

i messed up '

wavy on the E's 4-5
um...ok
On the CD you can hear a bass, but on the CD you can also here two guitars! Jack plays more tracks on the CD. You have no chance to hear the correct LIVE Version. Look at the video and you will see he plays:
(palm muted)
------------------
------------------
------------------
-----5------------
-7-7---7-5-3---2--
------------------
and he have to play it like this,because he haves a bottleneck on his small finger.
And after this he played the solo or bridge or what ever, with his bottleneck, but I couldn't see this in the fast Video, my suggestion is to
drop the high e into d and play with the bottleneck:
D(complete Open)
A
and then
E G E D C Cb
E G E D C D C Cb
and than back
D(complete Open)
A
and than back to the Riff
Its quite good and very near on the original, but i cant hear how the solo of the second guitar works.
Maybe I will see Jack live, and then i'got it :-)
try this, play the 1st string on the 5th fret, then play the next string, sound the same?? so all versions are right as u can play 2 strings 2 make the same note! i thort all guitarists new this!!!
good good if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and feel on your giutar
You are all complete idiots for arguing whether the intro is played with a guitar or bass. The name of the web site is e-tabs.org, not imcompletellyretarded.org. Get a life and just play the song!
A-men brotha
CAN I HAVE AN A-MEN
actully ur all wrong
1. Its a guitar as u know if youve actually played the song

Thank u so much ill be here all week
PEACE...LOVE...NO NUKES
der correct intro ist:
E down tune to B
B. -5-5-8-5-3-1-0
"the 1 and only" was close
dude practice on hearing a song
E-5-5-8-5-3-1-0
and also there are parts that have alot more than that
wolfgang and 1 and only good job! haha
This is wrong. The beggining sounds very high.Its supposed to be low.
the songs goes like this!
E-5-5-8-5-3-1-0
DUH!
I can't help but notice the bass/guitar debate.I can tell you that there is no way that there is any bass in most any (if any at all) white stripes songs. The guy is a fanatic, he builds his own guitars and amps, and thrives on the simplicity of his music. Do your research. Why put an extra instrument where an effect pedal will do?
hey if u didnt know it is a bass at the start cuz some guy put bass lines on there song so it goes like this:
E 7 6
A 6 6 9 8 6
D
G
ther ya are.
all of these tabs sound the same and they are all good im an amateur i used to play:
E-0-1-3-1-3-1-1
A
D
g
b
e
AHHH im soooo confused... so many different people saying different things Ahhh if anyone is ABSOLUTLY sure they no the REAL GUITAR tab than please email me at Ronjon205@aol.com
not even close!!!
try this one:
Bass:
E ------------------------
B ------------------------
G ------------------------
D ------------------------
A -7-7-10-7---------------
E ----------10-8-7--------
Guitar:
A A C A G F E
______________________________
or you could try this one.. it sounds a little more cool!!!
Bass:
E ------------------------
B ------------------------
G ------------------------
D ------------------------
A -7-7-10-7---------------
E ----------10-8-10-8-7---
Guitar:
A A C A G F G F E
______________________________
and thats it!!
NB: play it fast, if you cant play it to the cd.. if you dont it will sound a little strange!!!!!!!
Come on you guys are just sad now. Just play it the way you think it should be played and stop arguing. Telling someone that their way is wrong isn't gonna make them play it any differently because they think your way is wrong so just SHUT UP!
Also if you go to Band Info on www.whitestripes.net, you can read for yourself that there is no bass! Read for yourself: "One of a new breed of back-to-basics rock acts to emerge from Detroit, Michigan, USA, the White Stripes comprises enigmatic BASS-FREE duo Jack White (b. John White, Detroit, Michigan, USA; guitar/vocals) and Meg White (b. Detroit, Michigan, USA; drums)." Also you guys have been fighting about whether they are brother/sister or husband/wife so read this sentence taken from the same page: "The Whites, variously assumed to be brother and sister or husband and ex-wife, but both denied, formed their new band in 1997. Judging from their facial looks they probably are brother and sister." Maybe next time before you dumbasses post what you "think", you should find out if it's right. The source for all this info on the site is from MTV Online so it's probably true. Bye morons.
Try this with regular tuning on a guitar:
a----------5-3--2---
e-0--0-3-0----------
It also sounds good palm muted. It works for me so give it a try.

That is the basics and it is completely correct! No more arguing!
This MArk guy is messed up!Bob tab is awesome!
THE BASS IN THIS SONG IS THE BEST EVER!!!!!!!! I LOVE BASS......and i like andy's tabs.....well done *clap clap*
OPEN A TUNING!
Shane-O is correct. It's all in open A. This is how Jack uses a slide. Brad's open G works but goes kinda high on the neck. Everything in the song is based off the A string or chord. Jack drops the A string down an octave with a pedal when he plays live to sound like a bass. Oh, and the song uses whole chords, not crappy power chords. I for one, don't have to argue my points as I have the real ver. in my GW mag.
this is what i use
all on E
8-8 11 8 6 4 3
and for the aftert solo or chorus or whatever part its
8 8 11 8 6 4 6 4 3
usewhatever the fuck u want
E 7 7 10 7 5 3 2 first time
E 7 7 10 7 5 3 5 2
Matt, just because you have the guitar world version of the tab doesent mean that that is the one and only almighty way of playing the song, its just that transcriptionist's interpretation of the song. It dosent mean that that white guy plays it that way either.
and by "that white guy" i mean jack or whatever his name is, i dont listen to them, i think they suck
although my name clearly states that i love bassists, the white stripes doesnt have a bassist... ive heard from someone...i donno if this rite or not...but jack plays a 7 string guitar...does neone noe if this is true????
In response to the above, Jack does play a 7 string guitar.
ok to everyone who clearly knows nothign about the white stripes, i MET jack and he gave me HIS tabs.....ON THE TOP STRING of the guitar it is played as follows:
7-7-10-7-5-3-2
it is played on a Gibson A320
6-STRING guitar on an octave pedal. he used the same guitar in recording. and they are brother and sister. thanks.
it is NOT Bass it is just a palm mute and the guy with the name: NOONE HERE IS RIGHT
IS infact right so go practice ur sorry little @$$E$ OFF!
no bass!!! and its all guitar.... josh pick that tuning pretty well... so lets live it like that...
It's a banjo, A BANJO!
i always thought it was a 7 string. or maybe a 6 string tuned like a 7 string.
but it isn't a bass
the octave pedal sounds reasonable
remember only 2 peeps in band
i kno the guy can sing and play guitar at same time but i dont think the girl can drum and play bass at same time
Please stop fighting about how to play this song, just enjoy listening to it and buy the album!
peace......
dumbasses
its
E-7-7-10-7-5-3-2
7-7-10-7-5-3-2
7-7-10-7-5-3/5/3-2
No bass
it is a guitar with an octave pedal set to lower 1 octave , however you can do what sounds like a bass by goeing an octave lower on your bass it is the exact notes jack plays on his guitar just use this on your basses but go an octave lower the double dots are open EADG so if you have a capo use it imagen it is just a smaller fret board
G|----------------------||
D|----------------------||
A|----------------------||
E|-7-7-10-7-5-3-2-------||
your all wrong he's playing an acordian
goodgood
There is no bass in the song. All jack is doing is playing the guitat with an octave pedal with his wife playing drums, ive seen many tabs and comments, just watch the video, there is no bass. Its all jacks talent.
mikey is right Jack White is the best.
I play like this on the E 5-5-7-5-3-1-0
or
5-5-7-5-3-1h3-0
to give it the little extra
Stop Fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are the facts:
1.Jack and Meg are ex-husband and wife
2.Jack plays a 6-sting guitar
3.In 'Seven Nation Army' he uses a octave pedal
4.These two people's tab is right: TonePusher and Bob
its totally wrong switch it around like this
