Notes

Live performance, late 1960s (1969-1970). Jimmy Page used the Telecaster into a Supro Coronado 1690T for the main riff section of 'Dazed and Confused' (Live). Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII fuzz pedal was used for the riff. Wah pedal (Vox Grey Wah) was sometimes engaged for tonal sweeps, but not always on for the main riff. Maestro Echoplex EP-2 tape echo was sometimes used live for ambience, but not always on for the riff. No chorus, flanger, or phaser in this section.

Difficulty

The riff is technically challenging due to its slow tempo, chromatic movement, and need for precise bends and vibrato, all while controlling a saturated fuzz tone.
