Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused
---------------------------------
TAB SYMBOLS
b - bend \ - slide down
/ - slide up ~ - vibrato
Intro:
The bass starts, and then the guitar comes in, playing this:
_______ Let ring _______Let ring
] ]
e----12---------------22b------------------- If you have a 24 fret guitar,
B-12--------------22b---------------7b~~/--- you can play 24 with out ben-
G------------------------------------------- ding, instead of 22b. I don't
D------------------------------------------- know how Jimmy Page played
A------------------------------------------- this, but I have a 22 fret
E------------------------------------------- guitar, and 22b sounds right.
After this bit, the first verse starts ("Been dazed and confused for so
long it's not true . . . "). Most of this is just bass. There is a small
guitar part there, but I can't figure it out. then the drums enter, and
the following riff is played. I'll call it riff A.
e-12b-11b-10b-9b-8b-7b-6b-5b-
B----------------------------
G----------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------
During all the other verses, this is played during the vocals, but the
first time, the same riff is played, only on the low E string. Then, the
loud, distorted guitar enters. I'll call this riff B.
e------------------- This riff is played 4 times, and then you go back
B------------------- to riff A. It's a sort of 'chorus', although there
G------------------- aren't any words. After another verse, there is a
D-2-2-2-----0-2----- part where Page uses the violin bow, but I don't have
A-2-2-2-0-2-----0-2- one, so unfortunately, I can't tab this bit out.
E------------------- Then, the solo starts. The beginning is some
variation of riff A, but then it gets too fast for me. After the solo, it
goes back to the riff A/riff B pattern. This is as far as I got.
Dazed and Confused
The opening is played with harmonics, not straight. The "12"'s are harmonics
at the 12th fret. The "24"'s are harmonics at the 5th fret.
The main guitar part is actually two guitar parts: (played together)
Guitar I:
-14b-14-12b-12-------------------
---------------14b-14-12b-12-----
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
Guitar II:
-----------------------
-----------------------
-----------------------
---5-4-3-2-------------
-------------5-4-3-2---
-0---------0-----------
b - bend 1/2 step up. Actually, in part I, let the 12b drop back to 12
before plucking 12 again.
Another cool part of this song is an instantly recognizable riff:
--------------------
--------------------
-4-4-4-----2-4------
-4-4-4-2-4-----2-4--
-2-2-2--------------
--------------------
