Notes

Studio recording, 2024. Gear confirmed for 'No Name' album sessions. Guitar is the 'Ugly Stick' custom by Chris Ellis, as shown by Jack White on Instagram and confirmed by Equipboard. Amp is the Fender Jack White Pano Verb, confirmed by Premier Guitar's 2024 rig rundown. No evidence of live-specific gear for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, dynamic picking to articulate through heavy fuzz, and managing noise/feedback from the high-gain setup.
