This clip, when I watched the documentary, absolutely floored me. I never considered Jack White to be anybody in my landscape of musicians. He did this and I was like “Oh, I like you, my friend!”
It was a stupid child's trick, like wrapping a wire around a nail, running a current through the wire to turn the nail into a magnet. BIG WHOOP! over nothing, but that's the case with his shitty music as well, isn't it?
"Gibson Custom Shop is releasing a Jack White signature model Diddley Bow. Their best luthiers have taken this version apart and meticulously copied each part in perfect detail, right down to the wood grain, level of dirt on the wood, the brand of electrical tape, type of wire, coke bottle, nail rust, etc. They acquired the actual hammer Jack used in this video to craft each instrument. They analyzed this video using the latest software to exactly reproduce the force and velocity and number of hammer blows. They sought out the actual cows and their manure and brought them into the custom shop to have them watch each instrument being skillfullycrafted. Each of the 50 limited edition models will be signed by Jack. MSRP $185,000 - which includes a potato sack gig bag, a DVD documentary on the planning and production of the Bows, and 8 * 10 framed photo of each cow."
@@aerrhhAnd he agrees with that statement. He said it multiple times. What IS special about him isn't the guitar playing but the vibe he creates with what he's got. The simplistic guitar, screeching vocals and Meg's minimalistic Moe Tuckeresque drums.
ummm....have you been paying attention? Jack White is the breath of fresh air that the guitar as an instrument has been in dire need of for many years. his creativity and boldness in his approach to playing hasn't been seen for a very long time. I personally consider him in the same conversation as Randy Rhoades, SRV, Jimmy Page, Keef, Jimmy, Pete...etal, He is a pioneer. He is a truly a once in a generational talent. @@aerrhh
Never under rated! no one underrates JACK WHITE! He has won 12 Grammy Awards among other accolades. Rolling Stone included him on their 2010 and 2023 lists of the greatest guitarists of all time. Jack White net worth: Jack White is an American singer, songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer who has a net worth of $60 million.!!!!!!
+ameerhamid89 Yeah, the electric part of the guitar isn't easy to substitute, but the cool concepts behind the acoustic guitar are present: a sound box (soda bottle), the sound board, and the string. Hell, might as well be a bad-ass Bill Nye.
the amp is actually more important tone-wise. So you could play a single pickup on a plank of wood, coke bottle, nails and string with a slide, but the amp has to be good. It makes sense.
When I first got a guitar, I didn't have an amp. But I modded an old stereo to have an input. Sounded like crap, but it was all I had, and I sure did enjoy it.
This was actually not a guitar build but a beginning of his sitar build in India as you noticed the sacred cows . He builds and distributes free of charge these wonderful sitars under the brand name 3 turbin axe sitars. He may be the closest thing to Jesus ,mankind will have the good fortune of having here on earth.
