From Now and Zen (1988). Now and Zen is the fourth solo studio album by English singer Robert Plant, released on 29 February 1988 by Es Paranza Records. The album's personnel list credits Doug Boyle with guitars, with Jimmy Page playing guitar solos on two tracks. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Robert Plant's other songs from Now and Zen, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
