Here is the official way to play Four Sticks as I got it directly from the complete Led
Zeppelin IV Tabulature book.
FOUR STICKS
Words and music by Jimmy Page
and Robert Plant
The intro/verse riff has three guitars, all standard tuning:
guitar 1:
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------/2--5b--------/2--5b-----
--4--5----------4--5------------
--------------------------------
guitar 2:
--------------------------------
--------------------------------

--6--7--9--------6--7--9--------
--4--5--7--------4--5--7--------
--0--0--0--------0--0--0--------
guitar 3:
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
-------------7-------------7----
-------------9-------------9----
-------------7-------------7----
--------------------------------
All of that repeats acouple times with some small ad-lib variations on guitars 1 and 2
with things like slides and vibratos until:
guitar 1:

--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
--------/2----------------------
--4--5---0-------5------------------

All of that is played throughout the song besides the chorus, which has three more
guitars:

Those 3 guitar parts are a bit different during the lyrics, but the lyrics basically
drown them out, the part I posted was the part between the lyrics. If you want the part
during the lyrics, e-mail me.
And the last guitar parts, guitars 4 and 5 play during the synthesiser, goes like this:
--------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------
--------------------------0--0--0--0--7--7--7--------------7----
--4--2--0--2--4--6--8--9--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--------------8----
--5--4--2--4--5--7--9--7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7--9----
--------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
There are some not to important parts that I left out that aren't really even heard, any
questions, comments, or song requests, e-mail krinks@aok.net
