moron....Bonham is playing straight 4/4 time (and holding it like the king he was) Page and Jones are playing in 5/4 and they meet up every 20 beats...though there are some tempo changes and all sorts of madness in it all...if you listen real closely you'll hear one click of Bonzo's sticks clicking the tempo during the vocal parts with no music (e.g. Bonzo was clicking away for reference, they edited that out except for the last beat before the music starts up)
I've never seen anyone play it correctly. I never could pull it off.
dunno what to say about that...I can play it, and plenty of others...it's just a riff...just get beyond the weird time signature conflicts and think only of the guitar and ignore the drums
You sound like a musician.
