You repeat that a couple of times. In some of the repeats of that part
there's this thing that Page throws in there. It's just a bunch of Palm
Muted C's(5'th string 3rd fret). Also you can substute the 5's for open's on
the next string, but i think Page plays it with 5's
Main Riff
You use the following chords. They're barre chords, but i don't know they're
specific names(i.e. Gsus5). But I know the roots, so that'll have to do.
Chord EADGBE
D 5577xx
C 3355xx

The riff goes...

Please excuse the messiness of the intro, i did it using VI and i'm not
very proficient at vi.

This song is The Ocean by Led Zepplin. The very last notes where you slide
down, I believe that they are right. I am not sure but I do not have a les
paul to get the exact sound so I don't know.
Riff A Play 4 times.
e--------------------------------------------------------------------\ B--------------------------------------------------------------------| G--------------------------------------------------------------------| D-7--7--7--5-------------5--------7-----7-----5--7-------------------| A------------------5--7-----5--7-----5-----5-------------------------| E-------------8\5----------------------------------------------------/
When the singing comes in you play 4 chords. D,C,A,G.
e--------------------------------------------------------------------\ B--------------------------------------------------------------------| G-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5-----------5-7-7-7---------------------------------| D-7-7-7-7--5-5-5-5--7--5--7--5-7-7-7---------------------------------| A-5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3--7--5--7--3-5-5-5---------------------------------| E-------------------5--3--5------------------------------------------/
Riff B
The last part consists of 2 chords D and E.
I believe this is right but it is hard to hear and I don't have one of those
things that slows it down or that you can set just to hear rythym or whatever.
This is how I play it. The strum is eighth notes for 4 beats.
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. Then switch.
e--------------------------------------------------------------------\ B-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------------------| G-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------------------| D--------------------------------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------------/
[D] [E]
I am not sure about this either cause I don't have anything to slow this down
but this part where it slows down is out of a penatonic scale in E starting
in 7th position.
e--------------------------------------------------------------------\ B--------------------------------------------------------------------| G-9--7-----------------------9--7------------------------------------| D-------9--7-----------------------9--7------------------------------| A-------------10--7--5-------------------10--7--5--7-----------------| E-----------------------7--------------------------------------------/
You know how many times it is played. That is jus how I play it.
So that's it. If you have any cool tab or like guitar or whatever
