The rhythm is really hard on the main riff, so I advise either
playing along with the song, or with a really good drummer who
knows what he's doing. FYI: Half a beat is dropped every other
measure during the riff.

Then it's just Riffs 3 and 4 repeated for the rest of the song.
This is a fun song once you get it down. Enjoy!
Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in 1968 and consisting of Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass guitar, keyboards, mandolin), and John Bonham (drums). With their heavy, guitar-driven blues-rock sound, Led Zeppelin are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal and hard rock music. However, the band's individualistic style drew from many sources and transcends any one genre. Led Zeppelin did not release songs from their albums as singles in the UK, as they preferred to develop the concept of "album-oriented rock".
