Notes
Studio recording, 1975 (Physical Graffiti sessions). Jimmy Page used his 1959 Telecaster for the riff section in the studio. The double-neck Gibson EDS-1275 was used live, but not on the original recording. Amp is the Supro Thunderbolt, which Page used for many Zeppelin studio tracks.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its use of complex chord shapes, dynamic control to balance edge-of-breakup tones, and layering if played as a single guitarist.
