The Oceans walking line, by Led Zeppelin

[invisiman]

I was wondering if someone has the time/ability to tab out the walk line at the end of that song(3:17-end), or atleast the keys it goes through so it doesn't sound like crap when I play it with my band.

Thanks in advance!!

I wont tab it out note for note but



the main groove is going between D for a bar and E for a bar


the Lick is half bar of A and a half a bar of D then a bar of E BUT the E starts on the And of 4 (anticipate)

The notes are C#,B,A,G#,F#,E,C#,B

This tab has it transcribed pretty accurately. Our band plays this song and I used this tab to learn it last year. It seems pretty correct. Only thing to do is check the timing of each note, the tab has no rhythm at all. For example, sometimes a D will be played as a dotted 8th and 16th which can be simply played as a quarter note D.

Here it is! I transcribed the whole ending. It can be found as standard notation/tab at hy homepage: http://www.geocities.com/jani_bjorkl...?1078518197862

P.S. There's also a midifile of the bassline...

As a tab it looks like this...

Good tab, but the 5th measure seems wrong. I would play it D, E, F#, F#, and not D, E, F, F#. He clearly hits F# twice.

[invisiman]

Wow, thanks a ton guys!!

I played with a Zeppelin tribute for awhile and that was the bit I was always anxious for. Very cool groove.
