Now I would like to make some requests. First, any Led Zeppelin fans who have tabs to their songs should post them or e-mail them to me at ad336@rgfn.epcc.edu. This would be greatly appreciated. I would really like to have.
Kashmir is a complex song and one of only a few where Led Zeppelin hired session musicians for the recording. The melody is built around a chord progression guitar riff that guitarist Jimmy Page came up with in his home studio. Here is the complete Led Zeppelin Kashmir guitar tabs.
Released on Led Zeppelins 1975 album "physical grafitti", the song took three years to create. On the album version Led Zeppelin tunes the guitar to D-A-D-G-A-D. Remember this when playing these Kashmir tabs. The song is inspired by musical patterns borrowed from Moroccan, Indian and Middle Eastern music. It is full of different parts and that's the reason why it is so fun to play on guitar when you finally can do the whole song. The bandmembers themself have said that this is the best Led Zeppelin song, it has everything you could expect from the band, very original and surprising.
