Californiaman Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I was flipping around on Youtube ealier and came across Seven Nation Army Sonically speaking it's one of my favorite guitar pieces. I like the sub octave White uses and when he kicks in the OD it's magical. 'Course I'm in good company. I guess Jimmy Page and The Edge like it too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8R8puk3kImA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_rLZf_qyU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darling67 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 One of my favorite songs from the recent decade. The riff is killer. Another post here conjectures that the "Era of the Guitar" is over and done. It's the "new" players, like Jack White, who have made sure that never happens.

surfpup Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I like White's playing too. I wonder though if he will stick with the Whammy pedal. It has certainly become a trademark for him, but trademarks can become pigeonholes easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for posting that CaliMan. I never saw that clip before. Kinda funny hearing Page asking how to play what must be one of the simplest, yet sure to be iconic guitar riffs of all time since Smoke on the Water. Great tune. I'm buying up all the Jack White I can get my hands on. His tone is new and old at the same time. I love it. And I love his voice. Totally fits what he's doing. Is the guitar dead??? Ya,, I don't think so. Welcome to the new era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I rmember when our local Block Buster video was going out of business. They had all of their moveis up for sale. I bought two copies of "It Might Get Loud." There are a couple 180 Gram White Stripe albums at one of the stores up in San Luis Obispo that I'll be snatching up next time I roll into SLO town. I was also impressed with Meg's drumming. I know I'm your typical guitar whore. I want the Byrdland that Jimmy is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That's not a Byrdland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemarie Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This song is one of my White Stripes favorites along with "Icky Thump". They both have such driving rhythms and riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 That's not a Byrdland Hmm... I am not an expert but to me it looks like an early Byrdland, made before the humbucker days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 That's not a Byrdland OK. Then it is a Gibson ES-350T. Early 50s or a custom made model for Jimmy. I've been over this before on the forums. If Gibson reissued it. I'd want one. 17-inch body, two and a quarter inch rim depth. Stinger on the back of the headstock. That's my dream guitar.
