Blasting out of Jimmy Page’s fingertips, the opening riff to “Whole Lotta Love” kicked off one of the band’s most successful albums, Led Zeppelin II
. With an opening line that, though highly debated, has come to define Page’s riff-based writing style, “Whole Lotta Love” is much more than merely another riff-oriented, radio-friendly rock song. It’s one thing to come up with a riff like this, it’s another all together to mold it, develop it and expand it into a song like “Whole Lotta Love.” That’s why Page is a Guitar God, and frankly, the rest of us are mere guitar mortals.
Besides the crunching riff that kicks off the track, “Whole Lotta Love” featured some very cool and very creative slide work by Page. As an added bonus, this TAB uses the slide to emulate the vocal line directly, as well as throw in a few double-stopped glissando licks for good measure during the beginning of the song. Most of this section should be easily learned by anyone with a rudimentary background with a slide, but, it is the middle section that really tests our mettle as far as Page’s slide work is concerned.
Page delves into the phychedelic realm as he dive bombs his strings. Coupled with his crafty use of effects, Page creates a haunting atmosphere that is the perfect bridge between the songs two main sections. When learning to play this section, it would be good to learn exactly what Page recorded, but also feel free to throw of the reins and improvise yourself. Though it won’t be exactly was Page played, I’m sure the master of ‘70s guitar improv would approve of us taking artistic license in a moment like this.
