Sent: Monday, December 22, 1997 12:33 PM Led Zeppelin - Celebration Day From the CD set 'Remasters' Written by Jones/Page/Plant Atlantic Records 82371-2 Celebration Day is a cool song that's easy to play if you practice it for a while. Make sure you listen to it a few times before you attempt to play it. The entire song is in 4/4 so it should be easy to keep up. I think this song is in A. Special thanks to Josh M. Johnson who tabbed the solo. Fiz tabbed the intro and retabbed the main riff. The A augmentedA string works as a kind of drone throughout the whole song, except for the chorus. Let it ring wherever sounds good and try to mute the E MajorE string with your thumb. There are guitar overdubs in the song, so it's impossible to play it exactly just with one guitar. In the chorus the feeling is given by the bass lines, it'd be nice if someone could tab them.
