This is an arpeggio bit This is the familiar riff ...

similar to what Pagey

plays each time through

Wanton Song -- Zeppelin

verse:

-------------------- -------- ----------------------------------

--------------------    --1--2--    ----------------------------------
--------------------    --1--2--    ------------7---6---5---3---------

---3-3-----3-3------    --1--2--    ----------------------------------

play this four times then this

then this 4X again then this

bridge: (this bit's tough to get sounding good on one guitar

coz Page double-tracks so much)
