Babe Im Gonna Leave You by Led Zeppelin: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin is a cover of a folk song originally recorded by Anne Bredon in 1962. Jimmy Page's intricate fingerpicking guitar work showcases his folk influences, while Robert Plant's emotive vocals add a bluesy touch. John Paul Jones' bassline provides a solid foundation for the song's dynamic shifts, and John Bonham's drumming adds power and intensity. The song's mix of acoustic and electric elements foreshadowed Led Zeppelin's diverse musical style.

Here’s my interpretation of this beautiful song.  I noticed
that none of the prior submissions included the outro. I’ve
also tabbed out some of the song parts that I felt weren’t
as detailed as they could be.
Thanks to all who submit and  play and especially to
and helps us all.         Peace,  alan
