There is array of influences that have been stirred up in the melting pot to create Jack White’s frenzied rock’n’roll-meets-garage-rock-meets-blues-meets-punk guitar sound. There’s a whole lotta Jimmy Page, some rattling riffs reminiscent of the Stooges, nods to Mississippi Delta Blues dons such as Son House and Howlin’ Wolf, a bit of George Harrison here and some Dick Dale there.
But none of those guitar visionaries are the one that White pinpointed as the six-string player that he has learned the most from when asked the question in a Q interview in 2019. Instead, the Seven Nation Army star bestowed that honour upon cult US rockabilly musician Dexter Romweber.
