ok
I finally got off my lazy a** to tune one of my guitars to the tuning sequence used in "When The Levee Breaks"

yet i still have some questions

Does page use a slide in the part that goes

"Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do,
If you don't know about Chicago."

and how do you make that transfer from the rhythm part to page's riff in that section

(FYI i do not yet own a slide so i am making do with a can of AXE bodyspray sweatdrop )

I'm pretty sure he does. It almost sounds like a lap steel too.

Trick to it is angles my friend very slightly try to focus on the high e apply more pressure towards that string and let the notes carry naturally from there on. That should get it Clean its more difficult if your using heavier strings tho.

i found that a zippo is a decent metal slide...
but i like the thicker strings...
however if im not too lazy i have a set of 10-42 ernie ball RPS, i'll put it on one of my guitars
