Notes

Studio recording, 1974. Jimmy Page used a Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JMP Super Lead for the main riff. No confirmed fuzz or wah on the riff section; effects are minimal and focused on amp drive. Settings are estimated based on period-correct rig and genre. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The main riff requires fast, accurate picking, tight palm muting, and dynamic control to achieve the punchy, percussive sound. The syncopated rhythm and string skipping add to the technical challenge.
