After having drooled at the Burns Brian May Red Special for £649, the Jimmy Page cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul for £369 and various acoustic bass guitars, I perused the music books for something slightly more affordable.
I found a book with around 10 Led Zeppelin songs to learn, accompanied with two CDs of instrumentals and guitar-less tracks but it was nearly £20.... so instead, for £15, I bought this:
It's a guitar 'songbook' of all Led Zeppelin's tracks from their first five albums, excluding those which weren't written by them. Missing are "I Can't Quit You Baby", "The Lemon Song", "You Shook Me" and "Bring It On Home".
The chords appear to be slightly simplified compared to tabs and chords submitted by people online for the same songs but I don't think it makes them sound too different.
There are no tabs apart from on "Stairway to Heaven", which is kind of understandable given the complexity of most of the songs and the apparent level of guitar ability the book is aimed at.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play along to the best of the first five albums, assuming it can be found somewhere - Amazon says it'll take 4-7 weeks to deliver!
