Submission What Is And What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin

[Jamey Pittman]

Contain both standard notation and TAB (see attached PDF).

One of my favorite Zeppelin songs, due in no small part to John Paul Jones's stellar bass playing (his fills during the guitar solo and the outro are especially tasty). I've seen quite a few bad transcriptions of this song online—the one on songsterr is particularly awful—and so I thought it worthwhile to dig through the isolated studio bass track to create a better one.

I strive for maximum accuracy with all my transcriptions. This often includes a great deal of audio file analysis and, when possible, video research in order to verify the correct neck/fingering positions are faithfully represented. All transcriptions are made using MuseScore, an excellent (and free) music composition program. Anyone interested in the original MuseScore files can send me a PM.

Here's a list of the other transcriptions I've submitted to the forum:
Bat Country - Avenged Sevenfold
Rush - Moving Pictures LP
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
Paradise City - Guns N' Roses
Orion - Metallica
Funk #49 - James Gang
Creeping Death - Metallica
Battery - Metallica
Master of Puppets - Metallica
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses
Rocket Queen - Guns N' Roses
Mr. Brownstone - Guns N' Roses

Enjoy,

J

Great transcription. Thank you - there's some bits in there that I'd been trying to figure out for far too long.
