Notes

Studio recording, 2000s era. Jack White is known for using his Airline Res-O-Glas through a Silvertone 1485 for White Stripes studio work, including 'Jolene'. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone sections; amp is likely set for low gain. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff is repetitive and not technically demanding, but requires tight timing, clean hammer-ons, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and groove.
