- Jack White explains his philosophy about today's music and plays a short, but awesome piano version of "Sittin' On Top Of The World". The clip is from the documentary "It Might Get Loud".
The piano chords for the song are E, A and B but in this particural version they are G#, C# and D#, as pointed out by "coenengelhard".
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING.
Jack White a great Southern gentleman born in the North.
Lol
Truer words haven’t been spoken
Detroit is mid
Either way....skillz...
People criticized this lineup, but I think it's perfect. You essentially have three artists, each of whom is rebelling against the one who came before. Edge was turning away from the showy solos and guitar heroics of a guy like Jimmy Page, and Jack White was rebelling against the technology-driven style of guys like the Edge. All three are brilliant for very different reasons.
very insightful
Great perspective
That totally makes sense now
And the world is rebelling against spiderman themed musicals
@@nickwest9921 Really? You’ll find them in any comments section for a clip from this doc.
Jack would be the coolest dad ever.
ThomasLaang
Nah, I gotta hand that to Hendrix. As much as I love Jack, the coolest dad would be Hendrix.
ThomasLaang Gotta give it to Hendrix too
Nah Jack
Is that his son? I should check his birthday
@@gwencurry3405 No, his son, Henry Lee was like 1 years old at the time. He was born on August 7th 2007. This little boy is his nephew, Garrett.
"If you really want girls to pay attention, kick that chair out like..." :'D LOVE THAT
"it's so processed it wasn't real at all anymore." I love that quote. It's true, that's why I love it when bands still record live rather than trying to make everything perfect in a song. It's better that way.
I've been kicking chairs everyday since I've seen this
Imagine how fun it is having Jack White as that crazy uncle.
The child is actually his nephew, Garrett - his son was born in 2007, this film came out in 2008, so it's not his son, no.
He is so blessed with musical/creative talent, a decent IQ and confidence. If he didn't have all three, he wouldn't be where he is today. It's truly something to behold, to experience his creations.
This is why I want to learn how to play the Piano
Me too!! )) And you know what?? When I had a Piano, I have not thought about this video.. But..the first song I started to learn to play, it was still THAT..
Magic in action!! *
oOderTypOo
I wish I could play the stuff he does on piano. He uses really old, out of tune pianos that sound amazing with the style he adopted. I just love it.
did you learn
he is a genius. thank you anthony.
Can't wait to see the musician that his boy becomes, we know there'll be good music in the future now.
That kids gonna grow up to be a hell of a foot stomping blues man is my guess. Also, I believe, Jack White speaks like a true genius here.
This is one of the coolest parts of the movie. It would be cool to see him perform this live in concert.
This is so much fun. I'm really getting into Jack White these days. Huge talent.
Seems like those who got offended by his criticism of technology understood nothing of what he said.
White Stripes
Rez Jethro Tull- the Luddite Revolution... I got his message...
at first thought it doesn't make sense since guitar and piano are technology too...
@@daffa4073 he argued that at some point, music became more about technology than it did about the actual content of the music, only then becoming fake. There is a difference between a tool that allows for a greater range of expression verses a faster production method.
@@user-ro5gc6jp9p Which is funnily why everything he said is severely flawed.
You can be as creative, if not even more, with a computer as you can with a tape machine.
A computer can enhance that range of expression AND be faster at it. I mean, I love the guy. He is fantastic.
But the computer hate is so ridiculous, unfounded and hugely pretentious.
I mean fuck, limit yourself to only using the splice tool, 24 tracks and transport controls if you really want that authentic analog limitation.
Hell, if you want to go all out, get a second computer and sync the DAWs to simulate 2 24 track machines!
Analog is great, computers are great. But ultimately it depends how you use it.
Saying that music became more about technology pretty wrong too.
This may count for the top 200 charts where everything gets overproduced. But arguably, that could be an expressive choice too. I mean, look at T-Pain and Cher. They both owned that Autotune. But even then, there aren't many competing in that top 200 anyway.
There is a lot of music being made with a computer sounding fantastic whether acoustically or electronic music with a computer.
Sorry for the rant.
his car is fuckin' swag tho' :D
It's called a Classic not any of that swag shit. Just correcting you..
Missunderstood1313 i guess you didnt get his comment.....
what is their to get, except incorrect grammar
This guy is fucking amazing. If he played a garbage can lid he would make it sound good.
That camera shaking to the beat. PERFECT!
The camera was shaking because of Jack’s foot stomping.
The song's title is "Sitting On Top Of The World". It's a traditional blues song that has been performed by many artists.
A chair kick created passion, while a foot stomp created music.. Such a beautiful performance.
Jerry Lee Lewis was kicking piano benches over seventy years ago. Nothing new to see here.
@Edward Macarchick he also married his 13 year old cousin sooooo you know.
I'm a guitar player, a young one, just I try to play rock, pop, and more kinds of music, but at the end, all just ends on simply Blues....
People, he's referring to shit like DAW's. Software that can literally fix a shitty drummer and make him perfectly on time with the song taking the human soul out of the music,, allowing people who don't work hard to earn the talent to be a great musician to make music anyways, cluttering the industry with garbage. Obviously this man uses various technologies every day, like the electric guitar, but that's not what he's talking about.

Jack fills my soul
This guy sits on top of the world, definitely! 👍
Always love some Jack White♡
Great advice. For a second there, I forgot what the blues really meant, and you reminded me. Thank you.
This is important life advice kids. Take note.
Good man! The more Jack White I see, the more I believe this!
Well, when I posted the chords I knew nothing about music theory. However, I can now assure you the song uses major chords (with added seventh) in the classic blues progression of I-IV-V. You can take any root chord that best matches your voice and play from there.
legend
Jack White saved Rock and Roll. Plain and simple.
It's Jack White as a 9 year old boy. Google 'little Jack It Might Get Loud'. There's a Q&A article on the Washington City Paper website which answers your question better.
@snowguitar100 It is Jack White's 1915 Gibson L-1 archtop guitar. From 1902 to 1926, it had and arched top. Beginning with 1926 it was reintroduced as a flattop guitar and was most famously used by Robert Johnson. The L-1 was generally discontinued in 1937 with only the Robert Johnson Signature reissue being made today. In my personal opinion though, this reissue can't top the original archtop model.
He's learning his son how to charm the girls. That's important father/son stuff!
Seems like this music is slowly dying in today's society. Thankfully people like Jack White are still keeping it alive.
Absolutely not, it's just slightly harder to find, but theres more now than ever before
JDFauser no. There’s good shit out there. You just need to know where to look.
JDFauser and I don’t mean old shit. Obviously that’ll always be there. But there’s plenty of good shit being made currently. UA-cam is your friend.
I love this. What a gift. I like real
@TheDaybreak94
It was in the [G]spring, one sunny day
My good gal [C]left me, Lord she went [G]away
Chorus
Now she's gone and I don't [Em]worry
Cause I'm [G]sitting on [D]top of the [G]world
you can find the rest of the lyric your self
Sitting on Top of the World is its name :) have fun and good blues
he is so amazing
I wish I had an ounce of his talent
Jack white for eveeeeer god damn it ;-)
e-gad, i LIKE it! As I read in another YT comment section.... "Holy Fawk!"
jack white - musician and badass
I believe the first band to record it were The Mississippi Sheiks - maybe one of them wrote it? Robert Johnson based his great song 'Come on in my kitchen' on it.
Friend, I am subscriber number 1,000! Congratulations!
@bigmac364
it's HIM. Jack White always said "Imagine if you wer able to go back and teach yourself everything you knew NOW about music." It would be nothing like when you were first introduced to a new song or instrument.
some blues on the piano? he is attacking the fucking piano!!
"if you want to get attention from a girl you got to kick the chair" the man knows what he is talking about, heartbreaker!
Lovely car, lovely son, lovely house, lovely wife and lovely face. Jack White has it made.
@greenshoes43 an actor or a nephew. (Jack White said to the director "I want to teach myself how to play guitar.") he was supposed to represent of what Jack White would be with a little him around at all times.
the guy's got class!!
I love this video
Couldn't say it better!
@JonasSkater97 No, even then, it's "Sittin' on Top of the World". "Wayfaring Stranger" is a completely different song, though also a great one. You can hear the guitar sound and the tune from the beginning, and I'm 100% sure that the entire clip is "Sittin' on Top of the World".
Right with a fleet of guitar effects and peddles
That was top of the World sweet !
i jam with a lot of folks around my town but my favorite person to jam with is my 7 yr old son . he lays down a beat on the drums as i shred the guitar . i would not trade it for the biggest pack show in the world . he thinks his dad is the greatest rocker ever ,
(cont...) Yeah. Jack said to me, “I want to teach myself how to play guitar.” And I was like, cool. And the next day he shows up in a hat and a bowtie and a suit, and in the back, seriously, was a 9-year-old kid dressed exactly like him. And he said, “Davis, this is Jack. Jack, this is Davis.”
WCP: Any idea how he found the kid?
Not a clue. I let them tell their own stories, and how he told his was quintessential Jack. (...)How do you know is NOT him as a 9-year-old?"
I
@crunkalac He can live in whatever time he wants. He's freakin' Jack White.
@joseccalmeidaa It looks like either a Ford T-Bird or a Mercury Monterey. Early 60's model.
I Like The Talent of the jack son
Respect.
if that is jack's son, i can't wait till he gets older and starts playing music (if thats what he wants to do). we need more jack whites in this world.
He seriously needs to put this cover on his next album, better yet. make an entire album of this style
@FranklyMyDarling If you dont see the blues in jack whites music then you're missing the poin. Jack said himself that the whole purpose of the white stripes and the grunge overtone was to get up there and play the blues, getting people into the genre before they realized they were listneing to it.
Jack plays piano the same way I do . . . I didn't know he payed attention to Jerry Lee Lewis. AMAZING!!!
i would love to be that kid... just sayin.
Jack gives modern music hope.
It's the music itself.
@joshmolina3 yeah man. he totally missed synthesizers. he may not like synthesized sounds but god how many amazing albums and great music came from synthesizers. AWesome Krautrock and post-punk/new wave stuff. Not to mention just great classic Rock. And technology allowed for hip hop to emerge and sampling to grow into this great art form it is today.
@crunkalac
If there weren't people "living in the past", good music would be dead now. Thanks to guys like Jack White, we're still able to listen to blues, classic rock and roll and other kinds of "old-fashioned" music, and not only that, also these kind of guys make music evolve and live forever.
Jack, you're sit on the top of the world
i want that old gibson
@zyefern Yeah I got the same brother, it's basically just one of those standard blues stompers...might be an E7 at the end
If you're looking for more Jack covers of songs like this, check out the Cold Mountain soundtrack, IIRC he has a few songs on there.
@MaxwellsAttourney It's called minimalism. It might not be "creative" but it was innovative for the time they came out because everyone else was into flashy.
No problem, man!
The part where he kicks the chair out from under him is awesome.
Hipster 9000.
@LIVETHISDOWN11 I think he IS Jerry Lee from an alternate Universe. It's just so undeniably cool.
@bohemeanne, no that's not jacks son, he doesn't have one, that's supposed to be him at the age of twelve. He could have a son though I guess, he managed to get people including me to belive that Meg was his sister, then again I doubt anyone would lie about having a son lol.
nice man, thats the best gift you could give him is your time...
Johnny Shines - "Sitting on Top of the World"
THANK YOUUU!!!!!
@SMGleader Sittin on top of the world. The recording is the Cold Mountain version.
@snowguitar100 I think it's a Gibson L-3.
If anyone has any interest on who's that boy, here's an interview os Washington City Paper with the director of the movie:
"WCP: Speaking of Jack, who was that little kid in the movie who helped tell his story?
That's Jack White as a 9-year-old boy. Did it throw you off?
WCP: A little bit." (cont...)
Hehe, stomping like that old blues dude in the stageshow of Cheech and Chong.
@biggetjeknor Jack never said that technology reduces creativity. He's only pointing out that it doesn't make you a more creative person. Sure you can make spreadsheet much faster, but in the past you had to handle more creatively because you didn't have that technology.
Amazing... :)
@GandalfMellon true, its like those people that have a fancy camera and think they are great photographers.
Good one.
Jack White is John the Savage from A Brave New World
@o0aznvr0o Thank you I was wondering what's the song and I couldn't fing out
it's my favourite part of this movie it is simply awesome how he kicks the chair :D love it :D
@Rokkbert Wow, Thank you men !
damn,I wish I was that brilliant.
@GandalfMellon technology just makes creativity easier for people, and if its easy, its not creative
@redcloud02 I think your right. You can be creative and use the computer (for example). But the big danger is to copy stuff that is already made. I and think creativivity is linking things in your head you don't think off right away. And with technology is harder to separate your own ideas from the ones that already exist.
@NillaWafer88 Amen.
@h4ckb0x7 Yeah your right it looks alot like an harmonica.
I see Mr. Jack White is a fan of The Wolf...and apparently takes a few pointers on the piano from Jerry Lee Lewis. Good to know that there's still good musicians out there.
