Notes

Studio recording, 1975. Jimmy Page is widely reported to have used a Fender Telecaster for the clean sections of 'Ten Years Gone' in the studio, running into a Supro Thunderbolt combo amp. No evidence of Les Paul or Marshall for the clean riff section. Double-neck guitars were used live, but not on the studio recording.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires intermediate skill due to its chordal complexity, need for precise finger placement, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation.
