In The Evening

Led Zeppelin

The intro thing is just a droning synthesizer and Jimmy playing the open

E-string with a bow. The overdub is called (I think) a gizmotron which

is a little spinning wheel which when you touch it to the string,

produces that rolling sound.

The main riff is double-tracked and with a little adlibbing is basically as follows:

By the way this is with a Strat, or something with a whammy bar.

^^^That's a bend down on the whammy bar

The first chorus has something like this:

The second and fourth choruses go with this chord sequence:

The fourth chorus has this backing line:

The chorus before the solo goes like this:

The solo is something like this:

The starting thing is Jimmy holding down the Whammy Bar as hard as he can

and forcefully picking out a E-Chord and letting up on the bar:

Repeat this^^^^^^^^^^^ 5 times

pretty quickly

Then do the whammy thing again

repeat ^^^^^this 4

times quickly

This slowed part is backed with these arpeggiated chords

using a chorus in this series

The solo over it goes like this:
