Thanks! I love this tune, i play it constantly and keep my Crafter set to this odd Page tuning just to play this and one other Zep song. Good thing I have multiple guitars!

get organized before you present and get the camera angled properly on the neck..

[Expateach]

For the intro are you plucking simultaneously strings 4 and 5 with the slide on the 5th string fret 2 to 3? That sounds good. I have good tab for the song which doesn't have that but I'm going that now. Cheers.

R@iamthewintertime No it's not. It's pronounced Bron Y R. Watch the documentaries.

if I tune my guitar like that, i mean even if my strings allow me do that i cannot revert it back to eadgbe, it'll always sound out of tune. you tune your guitar cacgce for a whole week play it till you get bored playing it then buy a new set of strings and go on your life..

it's pronounced bronariar..... BRON-A-RIAR... Bron-Yr-Aur

Just stuck in my mind from when I first learned it, such a weird tuning C6...

[unaperrson]

@iaingbrennan You are right! I still have the Guitar For The Practicing Musician transcription, and it is definately C6th.

CGEDAF sounds like my 'O' level results!

[RumbleGuts2112]

why call it Bron Yr Stomp in the title when it is so far removed from Zeps tune to be unrecognisable?

Peace

Sorry to be pedantic, this is not Open C, your tuned to C6, which is exactly right for this song, the A string would be tuned to G to make it Open C, .....I know, I should get out more, good lesson though!
