Notes

Studio recording, Led Zeppelin I (1968); confirmed by multiple sources that the riff/distorted sections were recorded with the Dragon Telecaster into a Supro Coronado 1690T, with a Sola Sound Tone Bender Professional Mk II fuzz pedal. Not a Marshall or Les Paul for this section. No evidence of additional pedals or effects beyond fuzz and amp reverb.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic precision, dynamic control to manage the fuzz pedal's response, and clean articulation of notes despite heavy fuzz. The riff is iconic but technically demanding due to its phrasing and tone sensitivity.
