UCL2 - WEEK 6
"7 NATION ARMY"
This week you we will be exploring 7 Nation Army by the WHITE STRIPES, the title came from Jack’s childhood mispronunciation of "Salvation Army" - a similar story to what happened in class!!! ;)
The iconic, bass-sounding guitar riff created by playing a semi-acoustic guitar through an octave pedal. The band consists of just two people Meg on Drums and Jack on Guitar!! What a sound!
This entire song is based around a riff. There are a few different ways to play it so see which suits you best!

THE RIFFS
For each verse section, you will play the same riff all the way through. Below is a 4 bar sequence - you will play this twice round for each verse section:
The second RIFF only appears in the instrumental section in an alternative sequence to the riff above. You may notice that the notes in this riff are all played on the A sting - they are exactly the same notes as played above - just a different way to play them - so see what works best for you.
Before you get to it - there will be some downward strumming for one bar each on the G & A notes (See video bleow). You could potentially play the chords here too - but see how you go as getting back to the riff may be easier to link from just playing the notes! Feel free to experiment though :)
