'Good Times Bad Times (tab)' by Led Zeppelin - Guitar Tutorial

             	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------

 	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.

 	Here`s the chorus, in which I`ll TAB out the two guitar parts  
 separately, as there is quite a difference:
 
 Guitar II:
                x x                                 x x

 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------------------------
 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.
