b = Bend v = Downstroke For the main Riff (get a pen, It's so complex, you'll need to write this down), Jimmy Page uses a guitar on distortion. For the Riff 2, Page uses an acoustic 6 string. And for the part played with the synthesizer, he plays both an acoustic and an electric. ****************************** Four Sticks *********************************** Led Zeppelin IV
