A simple way in
A version for learning the line, checking the pocket, and playing along without the rest of the mix getting in your way.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
The event, which happened at Soho Farmhouse near Chipping Norton, was organised by former Duran Duran guitarist Andy Taylor, who is currently battling stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer, with all proceeds going to The Cancer Awareness Trust. Robert Plant and Andy Taylor were joined by Whitesnake’s Dino Jelusick, Rod Stewart’s drummer David Palmer, Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets bassist Guy Pratt, former Reef guitarist Kenwyn House, singer Anne Rani, and Andy Taylor’s son Andrew. The performance occurred after an anonymous bidder donated a six-figure-sum to The Cancer Awareness Trust, and requested that Plant perform the iconic Led Zep tune, to which Plant agreed. It marks his first time performing the song in 16 years.
