Notes
Studio recording, 1969. Jimmy Page is widely reported to have used a Supro combo amp for the heavy/distorted sections of 'Ramble On.' The Les Paul was used for the electric overdubs, not the acoustic rhythm. No evidence of pedals used in the studio for this section; distortion is from cranked amp.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight timing, dynamic control, and clean muting to capture the punchy, articulate sound of the original recording. While not technically advanced, the groove and feel are challenging to master.
