Bron-Yr-Aur

This is my attempt at playing Jimmy Page's Bron-Yr-Aur from the Led Zeppelin III sessions (eventually released on their album Physical Graffiti). I've got the guitar going through a tempo-synced delay at 170bpm to give it that nice "echoey" sound. Tuning is CACGCE.

The piece was named after Bron-Yr-Aur (sometimes spelt Bron-Y-Aur), an 18th Century cottage in Wales, where Led Zeppelin wrote and recorded much of the material for their third album.

Thanks. I enjoyed that one too. I'm finally venturing into alternate tunings and it helps to see it done so well.
