Tuned slightly sharp.
Two guitars play in (semi-)unison, which I have simplified into one guitar part. Both guitar signals are digitally combined with their lower octave using a Whammy pedal.

Hello fellow guitar player, this is a alternative tab to the power chords, which is
really annoying to play. This tab should make it more enjoyable to play.
----------------------------------- | Blue Orchid | | Words and Music by Jack White | | Get Behind Me Satan | | Tabbed by Ethan Love | -----------------------------------
Two guitars play in semi-unison, both of them digitally combined with their lower octave. I have simplified them into one guitar part.
Without a digital octave manipulator like the Whammy pedal, it is your best bet to play full 5th chords.

Note: Although Jack White plays the second chorus the following way live, one could also push the Whammy pedal forward to the high octave doubling setting, and play the riff from the first chorus.

Intro
Note: The guitar effect used throughout the song creates an extra
note one octave down and one octave up from the source.
Jack White also uses doubling and distortion during the song.
As the octave effect used in this song might not be avaliable to everyone, I thought I
tab it using power chords for those people who:
a) Don't have an octave effect available
b) Thought it sounded shit because their effect wasn't good enough (eg. me - my
unit is not quite up to standard)
So here goes - the sections below should be substituted for their namesakes in the tab above.
