Rock and Roll

This is one of my all time favourite Zeppelin tunes and I’m happy to share my interpretation of this classic with you!

Few notes about the song! The guitar tone I’ve chosen for this song is slightly different than Page’s. I was digging the Orange Thunderverb Amp in Amplitube 5. I felt it was working for me, so I went with it!

In the main riff, I’ve seen many tabs with a 4th fret on A, D, and E parts. That sounds great and was the way I used to play it. But after paying specific attention and watching live performances, I see that Page is bending the 3rd fret up a half step. It’s really quick but I really believe that’s what he’s doing.

I decided to stay true to the studio recording as much as I could. Live, Page mashes up both the leads and rhythm in the main riff of this song. With this video, I placed some of the leads in the background so that you can keep playing the main riff. There are tabs on YouTube that present the live way of playing it and I wanted to give this approach to mix it up.

Enjoy and keep coming back for the tabs guys!
