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).
