From Led Zeppelin (1969). Their debut album, produced by Jimmy Page and recorded at Olympic Studios in London in September and October 1968, it was released in January 1969 in the United States and on 31 March 1969 in the United Kingdom. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '52 Telecaster (AVRI Reissue) through a Supro Coronado 1690T (Vintage), the nearest rig to the one documented for Led Zeppelin, stands in. Set the amp to a driven crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
