Well these are just all the basic Led Zeppelinish riffs in the
song and how they fit with the lyrics. I have most of the
solo figured out and I¹ll post it later, if you really want
it.
Intro/Rythym figure 1.(ryth.fig.1. is intro w/out muted strum
and slide from 17th fret). This is two guitars playing
together(L.Kravitz and Craig Ross) arranged for one guitar:
-Palm Mute- E-------------------------------------------------------- B--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17-- G--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17-- D--X-X-X----------------3-----------------X/17-17-17-17-- A--X-X-X-------------3^5--5^3-------------X/17-17-17-17-- E---------17\--3-4-5----------5^3--3-4-5-----------------
Before each verse Ryth.fig.1. ends with this little riff
(ending on either D or E). There are 2 guitar parts. So,
again, this comes right after you play rthy.fig.1. and are
about to go into a verse:
Gtr.1 A G D or E (let the D and E chords sustain) E--------2-----4-- B--2-----3--or-5-- G--2-----2-----4-- D--2-------------- A----------------- E-----3----------- Gtr.2 A G D or E (let D and E sustain) E------------------ B------------------ G------------------ D------------------ A--------5---or-7-- E--5--3------------ Fill #1 (this occurs mainly right after a verse, before Ryth.fig.1 is played) E--------------------- B--------------------- G--------------------- D---------3----------- A--5~-3-5---5^3------- E---------------5-3--- Rythym fig. 2 (played during solo with ryth.fig.1) E------------------------------- B------------------------------- G------------3------------------ D--------3-5---5^3-------------- A--3-4-5-----------5-3--3-4-5--- E------------------------------- Variation on ryth.fig.1.(towards and at end of song) E--------------------------------- B--------------------------------- G--------------------------------- D-----------3--------------------- A--------3^5--5^3----------------- E--3-4-5----------5^3--3-3-4-4-5-- Fill #2(after vaariation on ryth.fig 1.) E--------------- B--------------- G--3------------ D----5-3-------- A-------5-3----- E-----------5---
