  • Intro
    E-|-----------------------------|
    B-|-----------------------------| Play this a few times, varying
  • G-|--5h7--7x--7x--7x--x-x-x-x---| the pattern that you mute the
    D-|-----------------------------| strings to sound as funky as
    A-|-----------------------------| possible, and then:
  • D-|-(0)-------------------------|
     
    E-|-----------------------------|
  • B-|---------------6--8--6vvv----|
    G-|--5h7--7x--7x----------------| Then go right back into the
    D-|-----------------------------| intro, after a few more times,
  • A-|-----------------------------| play:
    D-|-----------------------------|
     
  • E-|---------------7b8rb7----(5)---|
    B-|-----------------------8-(6)---|
    G-|--5h7--7x--7x-------------7----|

    As a little aside here, most of the song is centered around two
    chords, Dm and G. These are the chords you sometimes here being
  • played over these intro parts. If you ever get lost, revert to
    either using them or playing along with the bass. My suggestions
    for these are:
  • Dm G Bass Part
    E-|--5--|------|--------------------------------------|
    B-|--6--|--12--|--------------------------------------|
  • G-|--7--|--12--|--------------------------------------|
    D-|--7--|--12--|---------------------5--0-------------|
    A-|--5--|--10--|----5--0------------------------------|
  • D-|-----|------|----------0--0-0-0---------5--5-5-5---|
     
    One of those should get you back on track.
  •  
    Figures 1 and 2 shown below appear again and again throughout
    the song, listen for where they fit in. And most of the leads (and
  • my attempt at the solo) is based on a Dm pentatonic scale. If you
    need ideas for the leads, look at the solo.

    Solo (I'll try to break it into phrases, if I indent a line, it means
    that the new line is still a continuation of the last phrase. )

    Then go back to playing whatever leads come to mind.
     
  •  
    BTW, this is also a bribe. I'm looking for 'Come Into My Life'
    and 'The Greatest Gift' from the same album. Anyone know them? Anyone
  • willing to (or have time to) work on them? (if you email me, I can send
    you a very small start to Come Into My Life).
     
  • Also, does anyone know anything else that Kevin Scott MacMichael (the
    guitarist on this album) has worked on? I'm not even asking for TAB here,
    just names of albums, etc. I have no idea where to even start looking
  • for any of his stuff. Might have been a studio musician before working
    with Plant on this one, which would make it difficult.
  • PLAY TOO ..
