Does anyone have tab for Page's White Summer? I think it's something he
originally wrote back in his Yardbird days. I've heard the tune on some
Zep bootlegs (Knebworth, I think) and it's pretty cool. If memory serves,
Page seques from this open-tuned piece straight into Kashmir. Does this
mean Kashmir is also played in an open tuning, or is it another medley of
tunes Page plays on his double neck?
White Summer leads into Black Mountainside. (On the Remasters, at least).
I posted this about a month ago.
Enjoy... Improve!....
