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
2. This is the CORRECT intro
e----------------------------
B----------------------------

D---------------------------- A----------------------------
E-5-5-8-5-3-1-0--repeat------
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
----------
----------
----------
-----3-1-0
-0-0-3-0---
wow months and months and still this discussion persists.
New info though. I have a clip from when Jack and Meg did a week on Conan. It shows Jack using the A string.
Does this prove anything, maybe or maybe not.
But as I said months ago:
White Stripes Rock!
oh...I'M confused! *g*
I think seven nation army is like other side...you can play this
song in different versions,too.
but what's the right? I would say, this:
E--7-7-10-7-5-3-2
but then you say the a-string...hmm
is this then the same?
like this???
A-7-7-10-7-5-3-2- ?????
but it sounds to high...
i've known it all along, months ago...
7 string guitar-
7th string- 5 5 8 5 3 1 0 (3X)
then 5 5 8 5 3 1 3 1 0
6 string guitar- same tab
just tuned to b on 6th string....!
Hehe.. this is funny reading thru all the posts.. I think the majority of the posts from people that actually give a damn consist of the "A-string" belief. I'm one of them, and I know majority doesn't always rule, and I know that I probbly won't change many people's minds, but IMO "A-string" is right. He uses an octave pedal on the A string of his guitar
It's 7-7-10-7-5-3-2 on A.
I have a Blender w/ them as the cover story, in it, it says that they, in fact, were married. They divorced and decided it would be best to stay as friends. They actually don't hang out TOO much as to keep from getting tired of being around one another. They spread the rumor of being brother and sister at the beginning of the band's life and dispelled it some time after. Some people are still hooked to the brother-sister belief.
I know that my comments won't change many of you people's minds, but I felt like giving my 2-cents in this heated debate, anyway.
trumpetdude90 is right. I went into a guitar shop on the weekend an tried the
7-7-10-7-5-3-2 on A with the octave pedal.It sounded exactly like the song. Strange enough, the 7-7-10-7 part was lower toned than the 5-3-2 part. When I played it, everyone in the store went quiet. It was cool!
can u all shut up about the bass cos they dont have one and the guitar is sooo much better
I think that Tremonti plays One Last Breath in standard tuning. I got these tabs that said play it standard tuning and sounded great!! You should try it!!
Dude its alright but not the best ive heard.... (Wheres the rest of the song thats not all the play pre chorus, chorus, ending, verse, all u have is intro) well thats all
Man, have any of you looked at the tab that was origanily posted here? It blows man! Like, how wrong can you be?
try this it sounds the best no base in this band
6

4

1--5--5-8-5-3-1--0
just a suggestion, maybe try PALM MUTING the intro
he obviously uses a octave pedal for to play this song live.
on the video its played on the a string, but videos arent always the best thing to go by.
you could play this song with a bass if you wanted to, as was proved by audioslave when they covered this song live at rock am ring.
you couldnt play this song exactly like on the album as there is overdubbing.
for all we know, on the the album the bassy riff is played on the keyboard, its not that unusual as, as far as i can tell all the doors (60s rock band) "bass" lines are played on keyboard
I'm not sure but I play it like that:
*Verses:
A--7--7-10-7-5-3--2-
*pre/post-chorus:
G--9--9-12-9-7-5--4-
D--9--9-12-9-7-5--4-
A--7--7-10-7-5-3--2-
G--9--9-12-9-7-5-7-5-4-
D--9--9-12-9-7-5-7-5-4-
A--7--7-10-7-5-3-5-3-2-
This song seems to be composed of those two riffs...
but honestly I'm not sure of the first one(verse)...
Bye.
Me again I made a mistake what I've just given is the chorus riff; for pre-ghorus and post-chorus it's:
D-55555555-77777777-
A-55555555-77777777-
E-33333333-55555555-
that's all
bye.
THE DNA TEST WAS WRONG... HE REALLY ISN'T MY SON!!!
Please, boys and girls, go to school, and get the rules of grammar under your belt. Play your own music, it's an octave pedal and very heavy gauge strings (.014-.065). Some of the comments posted here are not only flawed in approach, thinking, and content, but reveal the people behind them as petty, whining imbeciles, probably jerking off in front of their computers and telling themselves it doesn't matter if they can't fucking speak, because they're TALENTED, and SPECIAL. Get a fucking life. Josh was right on, I teched for The Stripes at a show. Two thirds of the postings were probably a scant step up from crayons and drool. Please. Thank you Josh. The rest of you...
father is a boaby
ok. you guys are morons. This is a two persons band! Has anyone seen any of their live concerts?? There is Meg's Drumset on the stage, and Jack's guitar and hook-ups.. not bass..
E 6-6-9-6-4-2-0
There is no Bass!!!!
uh, you all dumbasses whoever you are, i wouldn't talk if i were u. u are WAY wrong.it's in dropD and is palm muted and played like this:
-----------
-----------
-----------
-----------
-----------
-5--5-8-5-3-1--0
NOW everyone else what do yall think? who's better?
thanks for the tabs guys and girls
you guys you guysshut up theres plenty of ways to play any god dam song. Its just how your fuckin guitar is tuned... so everyone... play what sounds right.
u gusy are all wrong that say it is bass no way i play in a band and we played that song it sounded exactly the same
this song kicks and its not bass obviously it sounds the same on the guitar i tried it!! so stop bitching over it!!...you suck...so deal.
dude who ever thinks its in bass its not its in guitar just watch the video and you'll see.
Ok Joshua your tap is right.Its better than any one in this tap room.Now Jon Ivy the drummer is his Sister not his ex-wife.
the latest issue of guitar world has this song tabbed in an open e tuning. I'm not sure of the exact tuning notes off the top of my head so i suggest one of you go out and buy the magazine - it has jimmy page on the cover and was released a week or two ago here downunder - and copy the tab outta the magazine....Unless that's somehow illegal
Should save everyone alot of trouble and give 'em a new tuning to play around with.
Laters.
SHIT!!!
Sorry, Not open e, open a tuning.
What am i thinking open e....
That's wrong I think is more like this check it out:
E|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|--------------------|
A|0-0-5-3-------------|
E|-------3-1-0--------|
Thats what I've been trying to say , mark!!! I've known that since July 4th!!!
oh also to get another thing straight, if you ever read, or know someone who read rolling stones, you'd hear that they are married, and not brother and sister, and that his name is Jack white, becuase he took her last name instead of her taking his last name.
I read every single one of ur comments. It doesnt matter whether its bass or guitar. YOU CAN STILL PLAY IT ON BOTH! SO JUST LEAVE IT ALONE! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats all i say...
Its more like:
e:-0-0-3-0-10-8-7
and repeat that!
how about simple way for simple guy
e: 5-5-8-5-3-1-0 x infinite
OH MY GOD, ALL OF U PPL ARE 100% W_R_O_N_G!!! THE REAL TAB IS:
E: 12-12-15-12-10-8-7
THAT IS RITE!! EVERY1 ELSE HERE IS TALKIN OUT THERE ASSES, EXCEPT MAYBE AMY GIRLS WHO IS HALF RITE, AND SOUNDS QUITE FIT!!!
its the guiter in the bass range but i want 2 know how 2 play it on the bass it doesnt sound right when i play those note on the bass. if u can help me figure it out that would be great thanks
I play 6-string guys and josh's is a little off for the intro it all on the top string and its 7-7-10-7-5-3-2
7-7-10-7-5-3-5-3-2

ok before you reply with some thing like that sucks, just try it, i like the 2nd version better myself
i play this on a 7-string,witk korn tuning, the one above me, is wrong, everybody knows it's
-7-7-10-7--5-3-2----------
--9-- not 9th fret morons, play with your ear not numbers
the guitar is actually tuned to an open A, you just tune the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings up 1 step. and everyone above is right, there is no bass, it is an octave pedal, a boss if i'm not mistaken. i don't have a guitar with me right now but the intro starts on the 7th fret of the 5th string and is played on the 5th string only. when it gets the the more open part you keep playing the intro just barring all of the strings.
ohh, and any critics who would like to ridicule me, first play it with the recording if you don't mind.
you guys need to stop arguing about if its a bass or not. Im way better then all of you at guitar and im possitive that the tab goes like this. All the tabs are correct but this is the key he plays it in.

Okay, So I just got done reading all these "comments". The only thing I have learned so far is that it's amazing how many people can sit here and argue the same thing that everyone else is saying. Do you retards get online to argue, or to learn how to play? YOU ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING. Shut the fuck up already. 6 months worth of posts... All saying the same exact thing. Pull your heads out of your asses.
my bad, my bad, i wrote it wrong it goes like this...

its like that but he plays it on a bass or an octive pedal I'm not sure which but i don't wanna start another huge arguement for all you morons who were in it~!
ok ok i looked through most of these and they are all wrong... see im just going to put down the intro because i dont really want to tab the rest....NOTE:WHOLE ALBUM PLAYED IN GUITAR THATS WHY HE IS SUCH A GOOD GUITAR PLAYER!!

WHY ARE YOU HAVING AN ARGUMENT OVER A RANDOM PART? BASS, GUITAIR SO? IT DOESN'T MATTER! ALL OF U JUST GET ON WITH IT!
It REALLY is a Banjo no joke
Hay stop cribing other peoples songs, and start writing u'r own, then u'd know who is right or not
u all suck on knobs there is bass in this song jack uses computers to add the bass and u suck so bad at tabbing i think there was 1 person who was right and that was dav is gr8 or some shit and the real tab is G--9--9--12--9--7--5--4
D--9--9--12--9--7--5--4
A-------------------
E-------------------
G--9--9--12--9--7--5--7--5--4
D--9--9--12--9--7--5--7--5--4
and its not jacks ex wife who plays drums whoeva that dickhed was its his sister
Who gives a shit whether its a bass or guitar or whether he uses an octave pedal just play the song the way you like.
i think that the beginning tabs are good but they need to put the rest of the song in there.

Look, About the bass/guitar debate:
1) The point that "there is no bass player in the band" is NOT an argument. How many beatles songs have violins in them? Do they have a violinist in the band? Are you going to tell me the violins in the songs are made on guitar with a "violin pedal"?
2) The point that "I saw him play it live and it's a guitar" is NOT an argument. Does he have 4 arms? Is he going to play bass and guitar at the same time, or play bass in the beginning and then quickly pick up a guitar? Whether or not it's a bass in the song is irrelavent, he is obviously only going to play the guitar live. The same goes for the video. You know he's not actually PLAYING the song while shooting the video right? Guys walk around videos without instruments all the time... are they playing with their asses?
3) Nothing you can say will prove if it is bass or guitar. The only way you could know is if you were in the recording studio, which you weren't.
Ca fait un coup de pub de dire qun groupe peut jouer quavec seulemen 2 musiciens parce que dans la chanson, al a fin du morceau, 3 instruments a cordes jouent en meme temps (1 solo, 1 rythmique et 1 basse en fond)
Je souhaite bonne chance au white stripes lorskil seront sur scene
I have seen them live and Jack White plays an octave guitar to make it sound like it's bass. There IS NO BASS. End of story.
Look you guys,this argument has been going on for 8 friggin' months,get a damn life
There is no god.
Yes, 8 months is a long time, how many singles have they brought out since then? Thats a new topic altogether i suppose. And there is no bass. Aha, thought i had to say it even though its pretty obvious.
every 1 who thinks this is played on the bass shut up cuz ur wrong
...this whole argument has lasted
8 months.....im gonna have to kill
someone if it doesnt stop
soon......:) jokes!!!!!
well any way who cares what the
fuck its played on it sounds
fuckin awasome.......guitar
its not played on a bass or guitar
he plays it on a didgyradoo
well i think this tabs kicks ass so wat u all goin on bout, fanx man.
and by the way it sound pretty good on glasses filled with water, u jus need the rite notes.
I went home and played this tab and it kicked A$$. Really good job man!!
Its not a guitar or a bass, its played with a flute!
do you not know anything?
Look, I speak with Jack sometimes. He uses an octive petal and a hollowbody kay guitar covered in paper...it's not an acoustic and it's not a damn bass.
no no no all wrong like this

Are you a retard man?
What the hell, the song is so much longer,
If anyone knows how to get the REAL tab e-mail me.
WHITE STRIPES RULE!!
the song is in Open A, played
with a slide.
Dude man, come on. the intro and the main riff is played like:
-5--5-7-5-3-2--0 on the sixth string
dats da way to do it
guitarist, u r so freakin wrong.the real intro tab is:
A 2-252
E -----532
play it out in any octive ya like, that is the real intro tab in my opinion.
Why are we fighting. Common..we are all a bunch of crack somoking gutiar players with crack whore girlfriends. So we have something in common. Let's start with that and try getting along!
ok dudes...i think that we have come to the conclusion that there are many different ways to rock out to this song!
It’s bass @ the very beginning but electric through the rest.
Cuz theirs only 2 of them (duh)
by the way if uv seen jack play the damn song the riff goes like this...

dudes the whole song is on guitar with an octave pedal it goes like this:

I think its funny that people think there's a bassist. They obviously didn't see me on the MTV music awards...whatever...peace.
hey everyone if any one is getting rid off a nice guitar im interested and if any one wants to give one away im interested
you guys are stupid if you think the whtite stripes have a bass its just Jack White playing his GUITAR not bass with effects and a distortion
it's not his ex-wife it's his sister. it tells u in hardest button to button. he says that his MOM had a baby not his SISTER. sry don't mean to get mad but, geeze!!!!
I'm pretty sure they didn't grow up in Alabama.
it is definitely not a bass guitar because my cousin played it perfectly on an electric guitar it sounded perfect and it is kinda like what that shorty guy said two comments up from me about the effects and distortion and crap and it is true. believe me, i know stuff
oh, yeah. also the only line it is played on is the bottom e line or atleast that is how my cousin and neighbor and me played it but it might have other lines beacause after playin some of them they all sounded ok, not prefect, but ok
actually, i have no idea what the frick i am talkin about, cause i only play drums and not guitar
Listen do i have to correct everything around here:
Bass comes first:
--7-7-10-7-5-3-2---
Bass does that twice b4 the drums com in and then it does it 6 more times and then it goes like this:
--333333-555555---
Then Lead comes in (chourus):
E------------------
a--7-7-10-7-5-3-2--
d--9-9-12-9-7-5-4--
g------------------
b------------------
e------------------
E-----------------------
a--7-7-10-7-5-3-5-3-2---
d--9-9-12-9-7-5-7-5-4---
g-----------------------
b-----------------------
e-----------------------
Then repeat it all over but wen the chourus comes in again do the chourus twice.And then do it all over again (but dont do the chourus twice in this).Oh and just after uv'e done the chourus strate after do this:
(in lead)
E------
a--7---
d--9---
g------
b------
e------
Play all this along to the song and it'll sound great(inless u dont go by wat i say).
SO LISTEN EVERYBODY PLAY THIS AND I PROMISE ITS RIGHT,DONT LISTEN TO THE OTHER GUYS COS THERE JUST DUMB BASTARDS!(THEY CANT PLAY 4 SHIT).
the AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH guy is rite... this way sounds the best and it's prolly the easiest... plus if u can't freakin play this song, give up and pick a new hobby cuz u suck
all SECOND STRING from the top
7-7-10-7-5-3-2
7-7-10-7-5-3-5-3-2
It can't be better than this !!
If you can't play this song you

plus some
10--10-10-12-10-13-12-
10--10-10-12-10-13-15-13-12
but anyway what is this a forum I mean you gotta be insane to read all that
its played by a bass u idiots
an in fact they are actually complete strangers who met up and decided to stir some shit and say they were brother and sister an married an all that.
Oh an jacks actuall name is Bill Dwainfellar and hes homosexual if u dont believe me go on google an search for "Dwainfellar gay leader"
the guy above is write u no they are strangers and dwaingellar is actually a gay rites campaigner. its so obviously bass jus listen to the cd if any of u actually hav it.
hey u guys this site rocks
YOU IDIOTS! ITS PLAYed on the friggin 6th string..hello!!! there is NO BASS!!!!!you are all idiots!(those people that think that it is played on a bass)
this is in response to john ivy way up at the top...any idiot who listens about the white stripes should know that meg is jack's sister, not his ex-wife. just couldn't let that slide.
bull crap its with a bag pipe!
this is the real tab: 7-7-10-7-5-3-2---7-7-10-7-5-3/5/3-2 on the E string palm mute bitches

E|-------------------
A|-7--7-10-7-5-3--2--
E|-------------------
Its Played down one octave using a Digitech Whammy pedal.
Here' the Break:
E|------------------
C#|-7--7-10-7-5-3--2-
A|-7--7-10-7-5-3--2-
E|-7--7-10-7-5-3--2-

E-5-6-8-6-4-2-1
then(same E)
E-5-6-8-6-4-2/3-1
(the 2/3 is 2 then slide to 3 i tried to make the slide symbol)
i figured this out by myself so plz dont yell at me :/
oops the last one is supposed to be:
E-5-6-8-6-4-2/3-2-1
sry
i am a huge fan! i hate you all :(
1. the song is played with guitar though a whammy set one octave down
2. jack does own a bass
3. the song is in open a
4. chorus and solo is in with a slide
5. the studio version is done with guitar, not bass
6. the main riff is on the a string only
7. no palm mutes!
the riff is:
A-7--7-10-7-5-3--2-
YOU ARE ALL WRONG! PLUS THERE IS NO BASS PLAYER IN THE WHITE STRIPES! ANYWAY HERES HOW IT GOES:
e--8-8-11-8-6-4--3
THATS HOW IT GOES BECAUSE IVE GOT THE CD AND I PLAY ALONG TO IT ALL THE TIME...
DUBARSES
hey i was the 1 who said it was
-------4-----------
--2-2---4----------
---------4---------
----------1--------
-----------4-------
ya made that b4 i had a guitar or knew how 2 read tabs really sorry
but im with the guy who said
----------------------
----1-----------------
2-2---2-0-------------
----------3-2---------
----------------------
----------------------
and use a octave jack dose not own a bass it says wut guitars
jack has on broken bricks.com and stop fighting like i know im probably not rite but who cares just buy the freaking elephant tab book
if u happened 2 look down this far thru all the bickering on the grammys he looked 2 b playin key of E or A not sure but follow joshs tab n key of E or A again im not sure but open E is the same as 5th string 7th fret an octave higher so play first 2 notes open E then drop down 2 5th string & play as josh has for the rest of that riff .....it adds a bass deminsion to the riff ei. a bass sound from a guitar octave pedal also a possability . and thats all i got 2 say about that>>>>>>>>>>
YOUR ALL FAGGOTS. HE PLAYS WITH A GUITAR. ITS IN THE VIDEO. ITS AT HIS CONCERTS SO SHUT UP...
NOT A BASS...
A GUITAR...
He plays guitar u dumbasses, and on a better note the man named Joshua might either be damn HORRIBLE at making tabs OR he pirated it from some other website b/c if you look at the actual song book for the White Stripes, that's NOT how the song goes, but that's just me.
1st of, it's not a bass. 2nd,it's not his ex-wife, it's his sister. If you people were fans The White Stripes,you would know this. And I always thought that it was played like this:
(low E) 5-5-7-5-3-1-0
and you would just repeat that,however, if the tab SOUNDS right, who gives darn?
it's
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
-7-7-10-7-5-3-2-------------
----------------------------
repeat 8 times
Only two people in the band. He
can play guitar and sing, But i'm
pretty shure that Meg cant play
bass and drums at the same time
that is just impossible. My aim
screenname is whitestripes288
and i have the official tab book
my profile has the tabs on it i
dont feel like puting them here
and getting arrested for copyright
infrengement. Buy The CD Dont
Burn It The Stripes Rock!!!

Hey guys, i played every single way you all said was right and worng, but to tell you the truth, they all sound the same, they're all good, but yea some do have wrong notes, but alittle work is all it needs...
i guess all the dufases that think the song is all electric...UR TOO STUPID TO ACTUALY LOOK AT HIM IN THE VIDEO AND NOTICE THAT HES PLAYING BASS,AND U SHULD TRY LISTENING TO THE SONG TO C THAT ITS WAY TOO LOW TO BE ELECTRIC!
Dude you guys where do you get all of these wrong notes?

You guys are so stupid!!
He plays it on guitar with an octave pedal!!
Have you seen him live? does he have a bass guitar?
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(6th string) 5--5-8-5-3-1--0--
then this is the other part of it:
(6th) 5--5-8-5-3-1-2-1-0--
i no that 4 a fact. like i said my friend is the guitarist.

e--12--12--12--12--12--12--12-
b-----------------------------
g-----------------------------
d-----------------------------
a---5---5----5---5-----5---5--
e 12--12---12--12---21--21--12

they dont even play guitar! this has nothing to do with the White Stripes
god is a concept

blam this piece of crap
thanks joshua, the tabs really worked when i put them all together.
Wrong
100 % is rite the band is known for not having a bass...
so if u hoestly think it's a bass ur a fucking retard...
and if u think it like this
E-5-5-8-5-3-1-0
or
E-7-7-10-5-3-2-
and say that the notes match if u play it to the song
and say every one else is wrong then ur a fucking noob
100 % the guy solved the problem...
peace
