Rock And Roll Is Dead

	  		 
Well these are just all the basic Led Zeppelinish riffs in the  
song and how they fit with the lyrics.  I have most of the  
solo figured out and Iıll post it later, if you really want  
it.   
 
Intro/Rythym figure 1.(ryth.fig.1. is intro w/out muted strum  
and slide from 17th fret).  This is two guitars playing  
together(L.Kravitz and Craig Ross) arranged for one guitar: 
    
-Palm Mute- 
E-------------------------------------------------------- 
B--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17-- 
G--X-X-X----------------------------------X/17-17-17-17-- 
D--X-X-X----------------3-----------------X/17-17-17-17-- 
A--X-X-X-------------3^5--5^3-------------X/17-17-17-17-- 
E---------17\--3-4-5----------5^3--3-4-5----------------- 
 
Before each verse Ryth.fig.1. ends with this little riff  
(ending on either D or E).  There are 2 guitar parts.  So,  
again, this comes right after you play rthy.fig.1. and are  
about to go into a verse: 
 
Gtr.1 
   A  G  D  or E  (let the D and E chords sustain) 
E--------2-----4-- 
B--2-----3--or-5-- 
G--2-----2-----4-- 
D--2-------------- 
A----------------- 
E-----3----------- 
 
Gtr.2 
  A   G  D   or E (let D and E sustain) 
E------------------ 
B------------------ 
G------------------ 
D------------------ 
A--------5---or-7-- 
E--5--3------------ 
 
Fill #1 (this occurs mainly right after a verse, before  
Ryth.fig.1 is played) 
E--------------------- 
B--------------------- 
G--------------------- 
D---------3----------- 
A--5~-3-5---5^3------- 
E---------------5-3--- 
 
Rythym fig. 2 (played during solo with ryth.fig.1) 
E------------------------------- 
B------------------------------- 
G------------3------------------ 
D--------3-5---5^3-------------- 
A--3-4-5-----------5-3--3-4-5--- 
E------------------------------- 
 
Variation on ryth.fig.1.(towards and at end of song) 
E--------------------------------- 
B--------------------------------- 
G--------------------------------- 
D-----------3--------------------- 
A--------3^5--5^3----------------- 
E--3-4-5----------5^3--3-3-4-4-5-- 
 
Fill #2(after vaariation on ryth.fig 1.) 
E--------------- 
B--------------- 
G--3------------ 
D----5-3-------- 
A-------5-3-----
