The White Stripes: Icky Thump

You'd better be handy with slides (5⁄7 etc) and pull-offs (5^4 etc) if you want to play this one.

For the 4 riff stages you need to blast a brief E powerchord at the bottom then whizz up to the 5/7 slide and play area. Do the slide with your 3rd finger, I'll leave the rest to you.

Vital tip: You need light finger pressure for slides. Squeeze too hard and you clumsy up the fretboard.
