@beautatum88 yes they are all white except Robert Johnson and Bo Diddley and BB King and Albert King and Howlin Wolf and Elmore James and Muddy Waters and Otis Redding and John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix..........and by the way, it's "you're", as in, "you have no idea what YOU'RE talking about."

[jkigz89]

@ajarroyave

@Kluckad

Shut the fuck up both of you. Exchange cell numbers and fight like men instead of trolls with your fingers up your buttholes.

Great cover btw, Huge fan of White Stripes and I really like the improv on this song. Sorry for the douchebags.

[MrIndieguitar]

@shittybangbang321 STFU

[DarkAngelEU]

Swifty's comment made me wonder, where are all those black blues rock stars? You don't see alot of 'em lately =/

[aheinw]

Is it the original guitar or the reissue?



[jkonu2]

good job on having money for that awesome equipment

[hnrik100]

@jkonu2 why does veryone blame it on the equipment? hes got talent

[jkonu2]

@hnrik100 i didnt say he wasnt talented

[dragonboshi]

[jkonu2]

@dragonboshi airline coronada

[TheJerksTC]

@jkonu2 I think its an ibanez jet king actually.

[F41LWhaleXD]

@TheJerksTC its a eastwood airline 2P DLX

[fairlystupidjello]

Great great great job bud, you make me want to grab my guitar and play!

[Kluckad]

To the dude killin' it on the video above, I'm sorry you have to deal with idiots that write stupid shit on your comment board, especially when they should be writing about how amazing your solos are. I would love to hear you with an octave pedal!

[wadafuxup351]

God damn bruhh

you got that shitt

[dannystrongstrong]

@m7k7k7 .....no

[KillingOptions]

fuckin siiick cover man. you should tab that out for me or the first solo at least

[NOWAYOUT688]

is that a jet stream or a gibson

[Christian123Renerig]

Great!

[m7k7k7]

The solos are better than Jack Whites.

[wadothepimp]

wtf the whole video i was waiting for the solo with the digitech whammy pedal

[FuckInTheFly]

not bad

by the way what`s the guitar?

[Colin2720]

@FuckInTheFly Eastwood Airline

[obey9870]

@FuckInTheFly  looks like an ibanez jet star

[jeffs241]

Stevie Ray Vaughn meets Jack White... dig it! Fantastic interpretation!

[Masm52]

You need to play in a band as a singer-guitarist, man.

[Motherfungler]

Fuck man. Your solos are so old school rock, it's unbelieveable. Top notch

[JakeMasterbait]

@Motherfungler

Its a cover dipshit. That means hes just playing someone else's work. Look up the original for your ears to be blown out.

[marcovulcan]

sounds a bit like beck would play the song

[Giantcaterpillar]

I like your sound. Sure, it's different then Jack's, but still cool. What's your gear?

[firelovesugar100]

Thats cool dude :) I have to admit 300 isnt bad for a guitar like that, and I also have a squier strat lol, my attic is filled with guitars, and I recently bought a left handed telecaster copy, so I should be fine with that for now :)

[MRACDCFREAK16]

Mmmmm nice guitar

[firelovesugar100]

Whoa what guitar is that? looks awesome :)

[punkeratheart]

@firelovesugar100 That would appear to be an Ibanez Jet King. Mahogany body, soap-bar style pickups, but I think they use ceramic magnets. I personally have been looking for one to take home, but I'll be swapping out the soaps for some kind of Alnico II oversize polepiece pickups, maybe just in the bridge.....nice guitars though, about 300 bucks.

[firelovesugar100]

@punkeratheart Ah cool :) I'm a lefty so I got no chance of finding one of those lol, it is a beautiful guitar though :D

[punkeratheart]

@firelovesugar100 Not true. They still make variations on the Jet King, and it does come in left-handed.

[firelovesugar100]

@ Really? awesome :) sorry dude Its just that left handed ones are so hard to find, and the guitars I like usually dont come in left handed, so I just assumed- but since they do I better get saving! :D

[punkeratheart]

@firelovesugar100 I feel like a dick head, but upon further research, they evidently stopped making them in lefty. I don't know if they stopped making ALL models, but the JTK-40 (the one I think this guy is playing) isn't coming up on the site where I saw it last, guitarforbeginners(dot)com. That doesn't mean you won't find a used one, and used means cheaper, played in, set up (hopefully), and you can try before you buy. However, I do hope my error didn't get your hopes up. Sorry.

[firelovesugar100]

@punkeratheart dont worry man :) I have looked for a lefty of this guitar and cant find one anywhere, so I'm assuming a lefty one would be hard to come by- even so I dont have enough money for guitars of this quality- I usually use very lo-fi stuff, I prefer convenience to luxury lol, if that makes sense :)

[punkeratheart]

@firelovesugar100 These are 300 bucks, which in my opinion is bang-for-buck city, BUT another example of B4B is the squier bullet-strat. The body is basswood, but basswood beats the hell out of plywood. It isn't a particularly pretty wood, but it sounds much like alder, tight bass, smoothed out highs, and a very vocal midrange. With a set of GFS Brighton-Rocks (+ steel trem-block, graphite nut & saddles) my bullet-strat is tight and bright and has balanced mids. It was $109 new + upgrades.

[MBudget]

awsome guitar playing! pure feeling

[CHARingen66]

wow, much liked thhank you

[Swifty2893]

black people still dominate blues :D

[ajarroyave]

@Swifty2893 too bad this song was written by a white man who is very pale and whose name is "White". Ill give you that this man dominates this cover, BUT it is a cover. The only musical thing black people dominate these days is shitty rap.

[dafishguru]

@ajarroyave Uhm...... BB King??????

[ajarroyave]

@dafishguru You said STILL dominate the blues, the only thing bb king would dominate these days is a fattest tits competition. Jack White dominates the blues these days and Dan Auerbach attempts to as well. The only Blues ive seen from afro americans lately is Idlewild Blues ...which actually has an alright soundtrack.

[dafishguru]

@ajarroyave Definitely not. He is still the King of Blues, but if you want another example, I could say Gospel. If thats music in your opinion? But so far i can identify nothing in your statements other than the ravings of a racist. Caucasian and Africans bleed the same, and we are all born into the world naked.

[dafishguru]

@ajarroyave Definitely not. He is still the King of Blues, but if you want another example, I could say Gospel. If thats music in your opinion? But so far i can identify nothing in your statements other than the ravings of a racist. Caucasian and Africans bleed the same, and we are all born into the world naked.

[ajarroyave]

@dafishguru i didnt say anything racist u idiot

[dafishguru]

@ajarroyave Buddy, it`s the implication, not the words.

[ajarroyave]

@dafishguru you're an idiot

[Kluckad]

@ajarroyave No dude, you're the idiot.

A) this song is NOT a cover. If that were the case, this song has been done over millions of times. it's a song based off of an E blues scale.

B) you are a racist F**k. To say that the only thing black people dominate these days is "shitty rap" then you should ask yourself why don't i know about victor wooten? then u should realize u don't know anything about music and should shut up, and/or u r in fact a racist waste of life who needs to get off youtube.

[ajarroyave]

@Kluckad dear fucking idiot.

A) this song is a cover, look at the damn title of the video.

B)i didnt say the only thing they dominate is shitty rap, i said the only thing musically they dominate is shitty rap, also to name one good bass player as your example of why black people still dominate is retarded, you both can lick my balls cuz you dont even realize how saying "black people still dominate the blues" is black supremacist.

C) my last girlfriend was black

D) i fucked ur mother

[Kluckad]

@ajarroyave

A)thought u meant jack white covered the song. my mistake.

B)ok smartass, Jazz, electronica/dance/house, and reggae/dub. now you can blow me u KKK mother fucker!

C)my girlfriend is half black. the difference between my gf and your ex is mine is real, and urs was some chick u jacked of to online.

D)Have at it, I'm 23, and she's old as fuck. sux 4 u

[ajarroyave]

@Kluckad every song has been done a million times, and every rock song is  based off blues scales so if ur trying to go over my head with ur vast knowledge of musical information then u and ur mother can suck on my balls some more

[Kluckad]

@ajarroyave also, sorry, im not gay, have no interest in your marble sized nuts, and i do have a vast knowledge of music and can go over your head. like when i say that you are wrong, & that rock songs r based off of Major scales, because rock songs have II chords, they have Major 3rds and not minor 3rds, I've NEVER even thought a rock song would have an aug. 4th/dim. 5th in a song, they have VI chords, and they also have Maj 7th chords, not minor 7th's. in conclusion. suck my dick bitch

[ajarroyave]

@Kluckad hahahaha look how mad you are, tryin to prove yourself by listing all the things your guitar teacher taught you today. i bet ur gf is fat as shit

[rustyflippshakelford]

@Kluckad so when are you guys gonna meet up to actually physically fight?

[louisanthony33]

@Swifty2893 No Black, No White, Just Blues.. 

[PfuckduckP]

@Swifty2893 It doesn't mean anything cause the one who wrote that song is white, isn't he? Boya in your face!

[TaffyRaphie]

love the gutiar tone, sounds great, don't change it

[CatchHellBlues16]

Well Done, id like a little less gain. if you played that thing on a tube screamer it would sound ten times better.. solid watch...

[miketrigs93]

is that an ibanez fret king?

[scaryfried]

@miketrigs93 jet king

[miketrigs93]

@scaryfried oh yeh... stupid memory. it's nice :)

[hesarocker1]

sick cover!! good work mate.

[putdownan8dude]

steevie ray white

[iluvjackwhitemost]

I think it'd sound better with a big muff, but other than that this is probably one of the best White Stripes covers with slight improv I've ever seen

[AidanLod]

@5Harring Actually it's a Ibanez JTK30H

[destihado1]

What's the name of the guitar? It looks like a Fender Jazzmaster

[5Harring]

@destihado1 its an Ibanez JTK4 Jet King

[wadothepimp]

wana sound like jack sell that micro stack and buy a big muff and a tube amp

[kurdth1]

is that a jet king what kind of pic ups do you use

[dmb684]

Very good and i like your guitar very much,realy,realy good!!!

[lennonrevolver]

show your face my man, its ok. nice gitboxin btw.

[TheGreatStonedOne]

Muff that shit sir.

[TacooGrill]

how do you like the jet king? i got the same exact model myself. I love it.

[Jsldark]

Good Cover...... 10... Men...!!!! Blues....

[armrip]

Rock out brotha. You were hittin  a mean lick!!!!!

[dnon75]

This song is very difficult to sing and play at the same time because of the timing, great effort man.

[OsSerrabulho]

Awesome! Love that guitar

[dirtycoffee22]

what guitar is that??

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

ibanez jet king. Realy good guitar for very cheap. Basicly the only solid body ibanez I like

[dnon75]

This question has probably been asked in the millions of times by now. Go on google and search for it.

[monty566]

This is great man, you are a true guitarist.

[panksuzmuzhu]

Oh wow, this is a truly fantastic cover! :o

Love it to bits!

[stillwaterguitars]

Thanks for not just playing Jack's licks. Awesome job, man!

[mistermano]

Great job! :D

[kissxthexchef]

nice cover man. you did it all and made it your own. your sound is pretty different but you thats why it sounds better with your voice. you, like me have a regular voice but you work it like ol jacky white. you got some metal sound goin on there i can hint. Im just glad you didnt play the song over it like most. NOTE EVERYONE. His distortion isnt an over drive and sounds almost digital, so I doubt you would hear much of a difference of how hard he is hitting the strings. Less emotion.

[dids42]

how did you get meg to drum for you???

[matthewstebel]

@dids42 It amazes me, that Jack is almost overflowing with talent. She's not even average. I guess he's alright with holding the band on his shoulders. He must love her(even though she's married) because, he could easily find a halfway decent. But that really would go against their bluesy Detroit garage vibe I guess. Idk

[ericwalczyk]

@matthewstebel he tells her to do those stupidly simple drum beats so he can improvise on stage. he explains it in under the great white northern lights.

[TheMusicfreak1396]

u can rock your headd back and forth with a guitar. i do it all the time. its called emotion. get some!

[TheMusicfreak1396]

i am serious. but what ever. think what you want. just dont expect me to rate 5 stars for some tasteless cover.

[monty566]

I hope you die sometime soon, how dare you say that dick head, no taste in music.

[TheMusicfreak1396]

and i hope you grow a brain and a penis before you insult someone else whos right.

[MrAlfredocolon]

@MaxwellsAttourney thats where your wrong i said hes a great vocalist. theres a difference. a vocalist doesnt focus on hitting notes but on expressing himself as well as possible through a distinct vocal style. bob dylan is a vocalist. beyonce is a singer. she hits notes and nothing else. vocalists dont have to hit them all the time

[TheMusicfreak1396]

he is. theres no emotion. when you play this son you should be rocking your head back and forth and feeling the music. yes he did a good cover, but i wouldnt say he's playing the song. he needs more emotion,

[MrChayeah]

@TheMusicfreak1396 I completely agree with you about him lacking emotion. It's not only the motion in his stance, but you can also hear the lack of emotion in the notes he plays. Jack White wouldn't be as famous as he is if he didn't play with such energy and emotion. I don't think some people understand that.

[abjafriggitywhoo]

@TheMusicfreak1396 I've got to say, as a student of the school of shred, guitarists express their emotion in different ways, there's any manner of things that could be throwing him off, we just don't know, so we're not in the best position to judge here

[TheMusicfreak1396]

that is true,

[EpiSGeeinator]

tht a danelectro

[Aydee2020]

nice guitar

[SpaghettiShaq]

Awesome dude!

[JarobinsRadio]

is that a ibanez hornet?

[LoveToLoveYourWorld]

@JarobinsRadio I'm pretty sure its an Ibanez Jetking :)

[JarobinsRadio]

@LoveToLoveYourWorld

oh your right

[roadster81TS]

this is a damn good cover.. fuck feeling or emotion in the lyrics.. he sang and played it all the way through

[ralvir]

you don't need to detune. JW plays in standard tuning. stupid comment.

[dnon75]

haha! I dont mean tune to D you silly retard. I mean he literally keeps the guitar out of tune on purpose. That was a good laugh thank you.

[dnon75]

If you want to sound like Jack White you need to de tune your guitar and play sloppier and harder. Need more emotion in the vocals too.

[powchang]

i agree, but i respect his playing as well.

[captlionpants]

nice sleevless button-up lol...

[TheArneDude]

... and that's how you do that. :D

[mingialingua]

good job.

[ASTROAVERY]

sir, you sound like a BAMF

[rast123456789]

This is my favorite white stripes song and I think he did a good cover. i think Jack has more feeling in his lyrics tho

[MrAlfredocolon]

@rast123456789 its the same lyrics

[rast123456789]

i know it is but Jack sings with more emotion in my opinion

[MrAlfredocolon]

@rast123456789 yea mostly cus hes one of the best vocalists around today

[rast123456789]

ok so you r agreeing with my original comment then???

[MrAlfredocolon]

@rast123456789 yea sorta. im just saying this guys obviously not an amazing vocalist. but you can still tell hes putting his heart into it. obviously jack sings way better than anyone who does a cover of this.

[rast123456789]

Well Im just stating my opinion....There really isnt anything to debate..

[EnterTheMold]

holy shit mute your strings or use a noise suppressor fgs!

[BigCheeseStick]

While you have just a little skill... You play with all the feeling of a piece of plywood.

[VetalF]

great

[piporro1986]

use a big muff dude

[whitelakecountryboy]

@piporro1986 :D:D:D nice comment :D

[stupreme]

tell everybody in the place to just get out. we`ll get clean together, and ill find me a soapbox where i can shout it!

[case1150]

Better than the original!!

[kwokydow2]

fuck no it isn't! ur a dumbass.

[yootesa1515]

ur vocals sound like farva but ur guitar skills are pretty kool

[Cthulhussama]

C'est vraiment une très bonne reprise, mais pas assez originale dans l'intérpretation pour se démarquer :)

Mais c'est vraiment exellent quand même !
