Robert Plant - Great Spirit
Intro E-|-----------------------------| B-|-----------------------------|
Play this a few times, varying G-|--5h7--7x--7x--7x--x-x-x-x---| the pattern
that you mute the D-|-----------------------------| strings to sound as
funky as A-|-----------------------------| possible, and
then: D-|-(0)-------------------------| E-|-----------------------------| B-|---------------6--8--6vvv----| G-|--5h7--7x--7x----------------|
Then go right back into the D-|-----------------------------| intro, after a
few more times, A-|-----------------------------|
play: D-|-----------------------------|
E-|---------------7b8rb7----(5)---| B-|-----------------------8-(6)---| G-|--5h7--7x--7x-------------7----| D-|-------------------------------| A-|-------------------------------| D-|-------------------------------|
As
a little aside here, most of the song is centered around two chords, Dm and
G. These are the chords you sometimes here being played over these intro
parts. If you ever get lost, revert to either using them or playing along
with the bass. My suggestions for these are: Dm G Bass
Part E-|--5--|------|--------------------------------------| B-|--6--|--12--|--------------------------------------| G-|--7--|--12--|--------------------------------------| D-|--7--|--12--|---------------------5--0-------------|
A-|--5--|--10--|----5--0------------------------------| D-|-----|------|----------0--0-0-0---------5--5-5-5---|
One
of those should get you back on track.
Figures 1 and 2 shown below appear
again and again throughout the song, listen for where they fit in. And most
of the leads (and my attempt at the solo) is based on a Dm pentatonic scale.
If you need ideas for the leads, look at the solo.

Solo
(I'll try to break it into phrases, if I indent a line, it means that the new
line is still a continuation of the last phrase. )

Then
go back to playing whatever leads come to mind.
