i'm pretty sure you didnt do all this by ear, cuz i know where you can get the 100% version and i pretty much matched 'em and you are dead on except the real tab uses all the strings, you only used about 4 (these are for the main riff part,you know 7~ 7-10-7-5-3~ 2 ) but who cares, it still rocks! if you did do it by ear, holy sh!t! you are the greatest :cheers:

dead on. sounds great. overall an easy song to play, just annoying to tune, keep it up

I can't believe the crack heads who think there's a bassist in the band. if you want to comment on a white stripes tab please atleast know the white stripes only consist on a guitarist and a drummer...no bassist no 2nd guitarist. and when commenting on a song by the WS please atleast watch the video for it to see the freaking riff is done by a guitar not a god damn bass guitar. btw this tab is most complete and accurate...i've seen them play the song on a few videos and seen the music-video for it, so all the alturnative riffs are just dead wrong
