Notes
Live performance, mid-1970s (Physical Graffiti era and subsequent tours). Guitar is confirmed for live 'Kashmir' riff; amp is Marshall SLP-1959 as used by Page in this era. No evidence of effects pedals in the riff section; signal is guitar straight into amp. Settings are for live, not studio.

Difficulty
The riff requires mastery of DADGAD tuning, precise rhythmic interplay with the drums, and dynamic picking/muting for clarity and power, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
