And this would probably be a great place to point out that while I’ve written out to play these notes at the second fret of the D string, you can also play them elsewhere on the neck of your guitar, such as the seventh fret of the A string or the twelfth fret of the low E (sixth) string, if you prefer. The first is a dotted quarter note and lasts for a beat and a half in length, while the second is an eighth note and is a half beat in length. The first two notes, the E notes located at the second fret of the D string, are harmless enough. Here is the bass guitar part, a line of single notes, which I’ve written out for guitar: It’s this first part that contains the interesting rhythm we want to look at and analyze.
There is also a second two-measure pattern that “formally” ends each verse and also pops up during the solo and at the end of the interlude between the first and second verse. This part also serves as the introduction, the outro and as a musical interlude between the verses. These verses are essentially made up of two parts, one that repeats itself over and over even though it may be played by just the bass guitar at some points and by a dense, multi-layered recording of guitars the next. There are three verses, four if you count the guitar solo between the second and third verse as verse. Structurally, Seven Nation Army is about as simple as song come. We’re also going to take the song apart as we normally do in these lessons, but for the purpose of latter creating a single acoustic guitar arrangement of this song. The purpose of this lesson, a look at Seven Nation Army, from the White Stripes 2003 major label debut album, Elephant, is twofold – first we want to look at the interesting rhythmic pattern that serves as the song’s signature hook. How does one go about learning if one can’t get instruction? It should be easy to understand that, for a beginner (not to mention for a teacher), “I just do it” is more than mildly frustrating. And someofne who has just picked up the guitar will ask how you did that and you don’t really have an answer for them other than “I just do it.” Someone plays a chord or strums a rhythm and we just follow along. Their last three albums each won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.įull Source : en.wikipedia.Sometimes we just hear things and play them. The band's discography consists of six studio albums, two live albums, one extended play (EP), one concert film, one tour documentary, 26 singles, and 14 music videos. The duo were also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which featured a simple color scheme of red, white, and black-which was used on every album and single cover the band released-as well as the band's fascination with the number three. Their music featured a melding of garage rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The White Stripes used a low-fidelity approach to writing and recording. The band recorded two more albums, Get Behind Me Satan in 2005 and Icky Thump in 2007, and dissolved in 2011 after a lengthy hiatus from performing and recording. The single "Seven Nation Army", which used a guitar and an octave pedal to create the iconic opening riff, became one of their most recognizable songs. Their successful and critically acclaimed albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.
After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit music scene, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002 as part of the garage rock revival scene. The group consisted of Jack White (songwriter, vocals, guitar, piano, and mandolin) and Meg White (drums and vocals). The White Stripes were an American rock duo formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1997.
