You need to remember that Jimmy Page has this "terrible" habit of recording a lot of guitar parts all together. I find this a real challenge to play one part that covers everything. Sometimes they are just differant sounds but the same part, or, differant parts combined to make a complex score. I think it is possible that all of this (EVERYTHING!) is slide, though I play it just picking. I have simply placed parts and labled them so you can put them where they need to be.
