The White Stripes - “Seven nation army“ Guitar tab

The 2003 White Stripes hit consist of one underlying guitar riff which is played from the start all the way to the end. You will find this riff in the Seven nation army guitar tabs here. It reached the top spot on Billboards Hot Modern Rock Tracks list and the band got a Grammy for the song.

It sounds like a bass guitar, but as the band never had a bassist they used several methods to get the bass sound from Jack Whites guitar. A DigiTech Whammy pedal was set down one octave to get he bass feeling but you may use whatever you like to alter the sound. Some bands even use a bassist when then play the song. The riff has been famous after it has been used on several sport stadiums as an anthem.
