Led Zeppelin — The Ocean (100% Correct) bass tabs




The rhythm is really hard on the main riff, so I advise either
playing along with the song, or with a really good drummer who
knows what he's doing. FYI: Half a beat is dropped every other
measure during the riff.

Then it's just Riffs 3 and 4 repeated for the rest of the song.
This is a fun song once you get it down. Enjoy!

This is the most absurdly difficult way to play this song.
