Hey! I’m Robert... before to start to play seven nation army... there are a few details that I must say...
1) I think the recorded song is tuning: E A E A C# e (cause’ the A chord that is played before the CHORUS, is played OPEN)... but anyway, it doesn’t matter...
2) I have watched a few Live Presentations of W. Stripes... and I realized that Jack uses a sub octave effect (lower pitch one octave) to get that sound.
3) And, if you don’t have this effect... try using Drop D or something... I dunno, is just to get the right sound.


Tuning E A D G B e


INTRO/VERSE: clean w/sub octave effect (lowers pitch one octave... only this riff have this effect)
