LED ZEPPELIN In The Evening Thanks to Charles Eric Horowitz for original post. This is the main riff. This version can be played without the vibrato bar and is easier to play :-) |--------------------------| |--------------------------| |---9--9-9--7-7---7\\\2----| |---9--9-9--7-5---7\\\2----| |---7--7-7--5-5---5\\\0----| |-0------------------------| ^^^If you listen to the record this really is with bar, but sound better than Charles' original version. Do whatever you wish. From: ceh1@acpub.duke.edu (Charles Eric Horowitz) In the Evening by Led Zeppelin The intro thing is just a droning synthesizer and Jimmy playing the open E-string with a bow. The overdub is called(I think) a rotovibe which is a little spinning wheel which when you touch it to the string, produces that rolling sound. The main riff is double-tracked and with a little adlibbing is basically: by the way this is with a strat, or something with a whammy bar:
