How Jack White uses that range
Wildness masks precision here: a wiry, thin-toned tenor that leaps registers mid-phrase, bending blues intervals and cracking on purpose. Chest belts around E5 are tight and piercing, while the extreme top is flageolet — a whistle-like squeal treated as an effect, not a melody register. Onsets are explosive, vibrato nearly absent, dynamics all-or-nothing. Students copying the mania usually let pitch collapse; underneath the flailing the intonation is exact, and the register flips are timed rhythmic choices, landed with the same discipline as a guitar fill.

Wiry, unhinged tenor wail; bluesy bent notes, sudden register leaps, and piercing flageolet squeals.
