Notes

John Paul Jones used his 1962 Fender Jazz Bass for recording and touring with Led Zeppelin until mid‑1970s; the Acoustic 360/361 stack was his live bass amplification during that era.

Difficulty

The bass part in 'How Many More Times' is rooted in blues‑rock fundamentals with steady groove and moderate fills, making it slightly above easy level but not overly complex.
