Led Zeppelin Tabs

If you want to be a great rock and roll guitar or bass guitar player, you're going to need the knowledge found in Led Zeppelin Tabs. Guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones are two of the most original, talented, expressive and colorful musicians in the history of rock music. A careful study of their approach to songwriting and their abilities to push the boundaries of their respective instruments will serve any budding musician well.

Led Zeppelin was formed in the late 1960s in England and featured guitarist Jimmy Page, vocalist Robert Plant, drummer John Bonham and bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones. The group's early music was steeped in the blues and featured many classic blues riffs played with heavily distorted guitars. Because of these heavy guitar riffs, Plant's high pitched vocal stylings and Bonham's heavy on the backbeat drum beats, Led Zeppelin is often considered one of the first heavy metal bands. This label, however, is completely inadequate to account for the myriad of genres that Led Zeppelin experimented with in their nine album, thirteen-year career. Over a third of Led Zeppelin's music is acoustic, drawing from country, folk, Celtic, Irish and acoustic blues music. Their third album appropriately titled Led Zeppelin III is almost entirely composed of acoustic songs. Later records like Physical Graffiti and In Through the Out Door saw the band dabbling in keyboards, psychedelic textures and dance grooves that borrowed from reggae and disco. When you approach Led Zeppelin as a guitar player, it is natural to start with the heavier, guitar laden material of the first two records, but in order to truly appreciate the genius that was this band, you need to graduate to the study of the more experimental aspects of their musicianship and songwriting.
