00:12
main riff:
|------------------5^----7-9-5h7p5---5^------------------------|
|--------5-6-7-------7-------------77---7---5-77---------------|
|------7--------7----------------------------------5-7-3-5-0---|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|           


other part thats like the main riff.lets call it the nutty part..:
|----------|----------|---------|--------------5^-79-5h7p5----5^----------------|
|-------5--|------5---|------5--|----------567--7----------77---7-5-77----------|
|--567---7-|--567---7-|--567--7-|--567--57----7-----------------------5-7-3-5-0-|
|-7---7----|-7---7----|-7---7---|-7---------------------------------------------|

after that part, this is played optional though. Kinda hard to keep rythem.there half notes i think. Try it out! during frist guitar solo type thing
|-------------------------------------------------------|      
|-------------------------------------------------------| 
|-----3-0 ~ -----3-4-0 ~ ------3-4-0-3-0 ~ -------------|

Whole Lotta Love (Led Zeppelin)

Filed under: Standard Tuning — Tags: — watsonja @ 8:47 pm 
 

Intro:
G|-------------------|------------------|------------------|
D|-------------------|------------------|------------------|
A|-----------5----5--|------------------|-------------5---5|
E|---------7----7----|--0--00--00--00--0|0--00--00--7---7--|

G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|-------------5---5|etc.
E|-0--00--00-7---7--|

So that's how is starts, and then you basically just repeat the main riff:
G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|-------------5---5|
E|-0--00--00-7---7--|
for the rest of the song. You stop in the middle for I think 37 bars, and during that 
just does some random slides. And then for the guitar solo, just do:

G|------------------|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|-0--0-------------|

You play that six times, and after the sixth time you go right back into the main riff.
Then there's another change towards the end. I'll put it with the vocals to make it easier:
            Way down in   side,..  woman..  you need, yeah
G|---------|----------|---------|--------|--------------------|----------|
D|---------|----------|---------|--------|--------------------|----------|
A|---------|----------|---------|--------|------------------7-|-0--------|
E|--0------|----------|---------|--------|--------------------|----------|

Love!------------------

G|--------|-----------|
D|--------|-----------|
A|--------|-----------|
E|--0-----|---(0)-----|

Then you go back into the main riff again, and while it's fading, Jimmy Paige changes it 
a little, and to match that with the bass play:
G|--------------------|----------------|
