Jack White may shred like a pro, but he hilariously forgets his solo mid-performance in a sketch on Saturday Night Live.
During the Jack Black–hosted episode on April 4, the Detroit rocker appeared in the pre-recorded sketch “Words to Live By (Country Song),” where a group of men sing about wise advice they’ve been given — only to suddenly forget it.

The nearly five-minute clip opens with a mullet-sporting James Austin Johnson trying to recollect the words his father imparted on his deathbed, then shifts to Black, wearing a cowboy hat and wielding an acoustic guitar, attempting to recall wisdom from a sage in a Tibetan cave.
Toward the end of the sketch, Black says, “Jack White, hit ’em with a guitar solo,” as the scene cuts to White — dressed in all black with a cowboy hat — appearing on a majestic snow-capped mountain with an eagle soaring past him, as he rips into a country-tinged lick.
“Wait, wait,” White says as he stumbles through the rest of the solo. “I forgot it. I forgot the f—king solo.”
Elsewhere in the episode, White performed new songs “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs” as the musical guest. He also joined a surprise rendition of the White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” during the opening monologue, alongside Black and several returning members of the show’s Five-Timers Club, including Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Candice Bergen and Melissa McCarthy.
The episode marked Black’s fifth time hosting and White’s sixth appearance as musical guest, including his SNL debut with the White Stripes in 2002.
