variations of that riff that he uses when Live.

That's all there is in the studio version, but it can be extended to
however long and the d string on the 7th fret can also be used. Page would often take an
solo here. These examples are from the dazed and confused solo from how the west was won.
keep doing this only move up

if youre good enough to play this song your probably good enough to improvise or figure
out by ear so just do that for the solo.

Violin Bow Solo
Here, Instead of trying to tab out the studio version (an amalgam of overdubs)
I am going to tab out most of what Page Played at Led Zeppelins performance at
the Royal Albert Hall on January 9th 1970. You can find this on the main feature
on disc one of their DVD. This is not exact so there are probably a lot of errors
and there are parts, which I did not tab so here goes. Forget about rhythm this is in
time.
Delay is used a lot (feedback 0, 1 second delay).
