Okay, here's the TAB for
"Good Times, Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin:
E5
[: D
A :]x5
e---------------------------------------------------------------------
B--T--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\r-----7-7-----------
G--A--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\r-----7-7-----------
D--B--9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9-r---9-9\r----7-7-7-4-7------
A-----7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7-r---7-7\r--/5-----5---4--5-6
E-----0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r---0-0-r-------------------
This is the intro, taking
you up to the chorus. ("Good Times, Bad
Times...") There are actually two guitars here, but I've tried
to simplify
things as much as possible for one. Also, watch for minor changes
in the
fingering, as there are changes not only between the hammers-on and
slides of
the two guitar parts, but between each time the bit is repeated.
My symbols
above the TAB, "[: :]x mean to repeat everything betweeen the
brackets and
colons, and do it the number of times followed by "x", in this case
five times.
-Dave
Here's the chorus, in which
I'll TAB out the two guitar parts
separately, as there is quite a difference:
Guitar II:
x x
x x
e-----3/5--3---x-x------------------------------5-\-x-x------10------------
B--T--3/5--5---x-x-7/12-12-10---10-10-0-3/5-----5-\-x-x-7-12-12-----7-7-7-\
G--A--4/6--6---x-x-7/12-12-11---11-11-0-4/6-----6-\-x-x-7-12-12---7-7-7-7-\

A-----5/7--7---x-x-5/10-10-12---12-12-0-5/7-7---7-\-x-x-5-10-10---5-5-5-5-\
E-----3/5--5-------5/10-10-10---10-10---3/5-5---5-\-----5-10---------------
e---------7-----------------------------------7-\--------------
B--T------7---9/14---14-14---12-12-12---------7-\--------------
G--A------8---9/14---14-14---13-13-13---------8-\--------------
D--B------9---9/14---14-14---14-14-14---------9-\9-9-9-9-9---\r
("r" stands
A-----9-9-9---7/12---12-12---14-14-14---7/9-9-9-\9-9-9-9-9---\r
for "rest")
E-----7-7-----7/12---12-12---12-12-12---5/7-7----7-7-7-7-7---\r
Guitar I:
e--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B--T-----2-----------------------------------------------------------------
G--A-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D--B--------------------2-2---2----7^5^7-----7-7-7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7/9-9-9-9-
A-----------------------0-0---0---0------0---------------------------------
E-----4/5--------------0-------------------------5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5/7-7-7-7-
e------------------------
B--T---------------------
G--A-----------4\r-------
D--B--7/9-9-9-9----------
A--------------2\r-------
E-----5/7-7-7-7----------
At this point "Sixteen I
fell in love..." both guitars play the same
part, which is:
[:F#5 E5F#5
E5F#5 F#5 E5 F#5 E5F#5:]x3
e------------------------------------------------------
B--T---------------------------------------------------
G--A----------11^9-11--4^2-4-x---------11^9-11-4^2-4^2-
D--B----------11-9-11--4-2-4-x---------11-9-11-4-2-4-2-
A-----4-4------------------------4---------------------
E-----2-2----------------------2-2---------------------
Watch for changes in which
notes are struck and where rests are taken
each time you repeat.
Now the chorus comes again,
but this time it's in B, use chord changes
between B (x2444x), Esus4 (00222x), and E (02210x). At "when
my woman left
home..." go to a C# (x4666x) on "woman", to a B (799877) to an
F#
(x9.11.11.11x). Hopefully, you get the picture. I could
TAB it out, but it's
not that complex, and I'm feeling lazy.

The letters following the
numbers refer to bends, b for a whole step, h
for a half step, q for a quarter bend. In some cases there are
combinations,
"bb" means two full steps, while "bh" would mean to bend the note one
and a
half steps. You probably can also tell that guitar II has it's
own variation
through much of the solo, which I haven't included. I hope this
can do some
good, as I am sure there are mistakes in my transcription, and it may
be
difficult to interpret overall. Oh well. E-mail me if you
find glaring
errors, or simply correct and repost.
Coming next: "Behind Blue Eyes", by The Who.
