Notes

Live performance, early 1970s (1972-1973 era), Madison Square Garden and similar venues. Jimmy Page used the Les Paul Standard for live versions of 'Immigrant Song' solo, with the Marshall Super Lead as his main amp. No evidence of studio-specific gear for this live context.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast picking, precise wah pedal timing, and expressive bending/vibrato at high volume, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
