parts, and then spin to the heavier side when noted, and then back again to thin side to strum out the heavy parts toward the end of the song. As for amp settings, we suggest: clean sound Bass set to 54% up, Mids about 67%, Highs at 73%, Reverb all the way (Jimmy Page always cranked the reverb). Keep the same EQ setting for distortion, but set the distortion level to 50%. (These amp settings may need to be adjusted according to what kind of guitar you are playing.) Then, rock out!
