They mix the pentatonic minor and major scale of G.
Im not sure if this is the real version hes playing, but I believe when Page played it with the Yardbirds he used a G major bar chord and played a little riff in the G minor pentatonic scale on the 3rd fret.
If you know what all that means, you should be able to improvise something.
Thanks! i sat down last night playing the song and really tried to figure out that intro lick and i think i got it. Thanks for telling me the key because that helps. Would a g major be like a Eb minor pentatonic?
Hey, yea JRindee pretty much got it right, just play around with a G bar chord and sort of skip along with the off-beat. Thats pretty much what was done on the studio recording, but the guitar is mixed down so much that its hard to hear exactly what he is doing. He did liven it up a bit in live recordings and you can hear that he embellishes it a bit more, but stays in that G bar area with the root of G on the bass, hope that helps. LZ rules, peace out
is this the gibson brothers

@blonde7000 This song is called Over Under Sideways Down by The Yardbirds. I am playing it using a Gibson guitar!

Love it. You got the Beck vibe down and at the end it sounds like you even throw in a dash of Page as well. It is very fitting.
