From Led Zeppelin II (1969). A short, riff-driven hard-rock cut with a crunchy, overdriven electric guitar carrying the verses and a stop-start rhythm. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue stands in. Jimmy Page is generally associated with a Les Paul Standard into Marshall amplification on this album, but song-by-song detail isn't documented here. Set the amp at a high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Tuning isn't documented here.
