Okay, here`s the TAB for "Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin: E5 [: D A :]
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. -Dave
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
("r" stands for "rest")
Guitar I:
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:
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. -Dave
Here`s the solo:
hold bend
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.
Coming next: "Behind Blue Eyes", by The Who.
