Notes

Studio recording, Led Zeppelin III sessions (1970). Most sources agree Page used his Les Paul Standard for the studio recording, despite some speculation about a Telecaster. The amp was a Marshall Super Bass 100W, reportedly found in the studio. Settings are for the clean/verse riff section, not the solo or live performances.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of dynamics and touch, with expressive phrasing and subtle volume/tone knob adjustments to maintain the clean, singing quality of the part.
