Learn how to play Fool in the Rain, as performed by Led Zeppelin released on their 1979 final studio album "In Through the Out Door". A truly unique song arrangement for LZ standards, and Jimmy has some super interesting parts on this song. There are basically 3 electric guitar parts, and two 12 string acoustic parts.
The lesson covers all the electric and acoustic parts he plays in this song, and I'll spend some time talking about the octave fuzz effect that he uses on the solo. Many people say its the MXR Blue Box, but Jimmy Page himself says otherwise (he says he used an "Octavider" which is different from the Blue Box). I'll use a blue box on here and also an alternate method with a Fulltone Fuzz pedal running into a Boss OC3 Super Octave.
