Product Description
Simplified Bass Guitar Transcription Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes (F Major / D Minor) From Elephant (2003)
This is a professionally prepared simplified sheet music transcription and bass guitar tab for the iconic song Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes. Arranged for 4-string bass guitar in standard tuning (E A D G), this version captures the raw energy and hypnotic power of one of the most recognizable riffs in rock history. Originally released on the critically acclaimed 2003 album Elephant, this track has since become a global rock anthem, chanted in stadiums, covered by countless artists, and revered as a modern classic.
Although originally played on a semi-acoustic guitar using a pitch-shifting pedal to imitate bass, this transcription translates Jack White's legendary riff specifically for electric bass, preserving all the groove and grit that made the original so memorable. This version is designed to be accessible for beginner and intermediate bass players, while remaining powerful and musically satisfying for more experienced performers.
The song is arranged in the key of F Major / D Minor, and the transcription follows the structure and phrasing of the original studio recording with clarity and precision. Whether you're practicing at home, preparing for a live performance, or teaching students the fundamentals of modern rock bass, this version gives you everything you need to lock into the iconic groove.
The simplicity of the arrangement makes it perfect for:
Music students developing timing and tone control
Teachers introducing riff-based basslines
Cover bands and tribute acts
School performances and recitals
Rock fans looking to play one of the most recognizable bass riffs ever written
Even though The White Stripes famously performed as a two-piece band with no dedicated bassist, this arrangement fills in the role naturally, allowing bassists to take center stage with a driving line that defines the song. The repetitive, chant-like nature of the main riff makes it especially effective in group performances, rock ensembles, and educational settings.
Whether you're learning rock fundamentals or just want to enjoy playing one of the most enduring songs of the 21st century, this user-friendly and accurate transcription is the perfect choice to bring Seven Nation Army to your repertoire.
