Title: Death Letter
Artist: the White Stripes
Album: De Stijl
Notes: OK, first off, what you see on this page is not 100% accurate, it is
simply the basics for this song. The actual thing is full of more notes,
slides, etc, and you should take what is written here and change and edit
it as you see fit. The modifications are the different riffs that appear in
the song. Work out the order yourself, it's not hard. Oh crap, nearly forgot,
play some of this with a slide, i.e. the barred parts, and the song is tuned
to open D, that is DADGBD. And lastly, importantly,improvise. It's better to
improvise on some parts because a)the song sounds more you b)it helps you
develop artistically and c)it saves me having to tab the whole *** thing out.
