Keywords: TAB

Okay, here's the TAB for "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin:

E5 [: D A :]x5

e---------------------------------------------------------------------

B--T--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\

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

G--A--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\

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

D--B--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\

----7-7-7-4-7------

A-----7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7\

--/5-----5---4--5-6

E-----0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r-------------------

This is the intro, taking you up to the chorus. ("Good Times, Bad

Times...") There are actually two guitars here, but I've tried to simplify

things as much as possible for one. Also, watch for minor changes in the

fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and slides of

the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated. My symbols

above the TAB, "[: :]x mean to repeat everything betweeen the brackets and

colons, and do it the number of times followed by "x", in this case five times.

-Dave

Here's the chorus, in which I'll TAB out the two guitar parts

separately, as there is quite a difference:

Guitar II:

B--T------7---9/14---14-14---12-12-12---------7-\\--------------

G--A------8---9/14---14-14---13-13-13---------8-\\--------------

D--B------9---9/14---14-14---14-14-14---------9-\\9-9-9-9-9---\

("r" stands

A-----9-9-9---7/12---12-12---14-14-14---7/9-9-9-\\9-9-9-9-9---\

for "rest")

E-----7-7-----7/12---12-12---12-12-12---5/7-7----7-7-7-7-7---\

Guitar I:

e--------------------------------------------------------------------------

B--T-----2-----------------------------------------------------------------

G--A-----------------------------------------------------------------------

D--B--------------------2-2---2----7^5^7-----7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7/9-9-9-9-

A-----------------------0-0---0---0------0---------------------------------

E-----4/5--------------0-------------------------5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5/7-7-7-7-

e------------------------

B--T---------------------

G--A-----------4\

-------

D--B--7/9-9-9-9----------

A--------------2\

-------

E-----5/7-7-7-7----------

At this point "Sixteen I fell in love..." both guitars play the same

part, which is:

[:F#5 E5F#5 E5F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5F#5:]x3

e------------------------------------------------------

B--T---------------------------------------------------

G--A----------11^9-11--4^2-4-x---------11^9-11-4^2-4^2-

D--B----------11-9-11--4-2-4-x---------11-9-11-4-2-4-2-

A-----4-4------------------------4---------------------

E-----2-2----------------------2-2---------------------

Watch for changes in which notes are struck and where rests are taken

each time you repeat.

Now the chorus comes again, but this time it's in B, use chord changes

between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x). At "when my woman left

home..." go to a C# (x4666x) on "woman", to a B (799877) to an F#

(x9.11.11.11x). Hopefully, you get the picture. I could TAB it out, but it's

not that complex, and I'm feeling lazy.

The letters following the numbers refer to bends, b for a whole step, h

for a half step, q for a quarter bend. In some cases there are combinations,

"bb" means two full steps, while "bh" would mean to bend the note one and a

half steps. You probably can also tell that guitar II has it's own variation

through much of the solo, which I haven't included. I hope this can do some

good, as I am sure there are mistakes in my transcription, and it may be

difficult to interpret overall. Oh well. E-mail me if you find glaring

errors, or simply correct and repost.

Coming next: "Behind Blue Eyes", by The Who.
