Here is the official way to play Four Sticks as I got it directly from the complete Led

Zeppelin IV Tabulature book.

FOUR STICKS

Words and music by Jimmy Page

and Robert Plant

The intro/verse riff has three guitars, all standard tuning:

guitar 1:

--4--5----------4--5------------

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

guitar 2:

--0--0--0--------0--0--0--------

guitar 3:

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

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

-------------7-------------7----

-------------9-------------9----

-------------7-------------7----

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

All of that repeats acouple times with some small ad-lib variations on guitars 1 and 2

with things like slides and vibratos until:

guitar 1:

All of that is played throughout the song besides the chorus, which has three more

guitars:

Those 3 guitar parts are a bit different during the lyrics, but the lyrics basically

drown them out, the part I posted was the part between the lyrics. If you want the part

during the lyrics, e-mail me.

And the last guitar parts, guitars 4 and 5 play during the synthesiser, goes like this:

--------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------

--------------------------0--0--0--0--7--7--7--------------7----

--4--2--0--2--4--6--8--9--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--------------8----

--5--4--2--4--5--7--9--7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7--9----

--------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------

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

There are some not to important parts that I left out that aren't really even heard, any

questions, comments, or song requests, e-mail krinks@aok.net
