This is just from air guitar so there are probably some mistakes.
Achilles' Last Stand
by Led Zeppelin
The intro is double-tracked:
e-----------2p0--------------------2p0----------------------------------------
b---------0-----3p0--------------------3p0------------------------------------
g---------------------0----------3----------0---------------------------------
d------4-----------------------4----------------------------------------------
a----2-----------------------4------------------------------------------------
E--0----------------------2---------------------------------------------------
The main rythym is:
e---9\----7-7---------------------7------------------------------------------
b---10\---8-8---------------------7------------------------------------------
g---11\---9-9---------------------7------------------------------------------
d---------------7-7-7-7-8-9-7-----7------------------------------------------
a-----------------------------7----------------------------------------------
E------------------------------0---------------------------------------------
During the Lyrics its:
e-----9----7------------5------------------------------------------------------
b-----10---8--------9---7------------------------------------------------------
g-----11---9--------9---7------------------------------------------------------
d-------------------9----------------------------------------------------------
a------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--0------------0--------------------------------------------------------------
The bridge sort of thing is:
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
b--9--7-8-9--9-7-8-9-7-9-10---------------------------------------------------
g--9--7-8-9--9-7-8-9-7-9-10---------------------------------------------------
d--9--7-8-9--9-7-8-9-7-9-10---------------------------------------------------
a-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ascending bit is played in two octaves. The lower one goes like this:
(Im probably making a mistake near the end of this) Play this one out,
then (I think) play it again an octave higher.
e----------------------------------------------------------------------------
b----------------------------------------------------------------------------
g-------------------------------------------------------9--------------------
d-----------------------------------9----/10----/12-------11-----------------
a-2---/3---/5---/7---/8-----/10-------10-----12-----14-----------------------
E---3----5----7----8----10------12-------------------------------------------
Here's the start of the solo(and it'll probably have a couple of errors
as well)
e--------7----------------------------------------------3-3h5p3-------------
b-----5-----7--5-5---8^10^8---------5-5---3-5-3h5p3--5--5-5------7-5-5------
g--/4------------------------7^9^7--5-5--------------5--4-4------7-5-5------
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
e------7-------------------------------12-14-15--14h15p14p12--14h15p14p12---
b----5----7--5-5--8--10--7h8p7-10^12----------------------------------------
g-/4------------------------------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then it breaks down and basically stays in
XIV position for a while.
e--12--15--12--15^17--------------------------------------------------------
b---------------------13-13-------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a---------------------------------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only other part I can remember goes something like this:
e------0------0------0---------------------------------------------------------
b----0------0------0-----------------------------------------------------------
g---------------------------------------------------------------------------
d---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a-------------------------0--------------------------------------------------
E--0------2------3------3/5--3-2--1------------------------------------------
Sorry about any mistakes, but I hope this helps.
CHUCK
