  In the Evening by Led Zeppelin
  
  
  The intro thing is just a droning synthesizer and Jimmy playing the open
  E-string with a bow.  The overdub is called(I think) a rotovibe which
  is a little spinning wheel which when you touch it to the string,
  produces that rolling sound.
  
  The main riff is double-tracked and with a little adlibbing is basically:
  by the way this is with a strat, or something with a whammy bar:
  
  e-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  b---5--5-5--3--3--20//20-------------5-5-5-3-3--20//2-------------
  g---4--4-4--2--0--20//20-------------4-4-4-2-0--20//2-------------
  d---2--2-2--0--0--20//20----2-5-2----2-2-2-0-0--20//2-------------
  a-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  E-0-----------------------------------0---------------------------------
                       ^^^Thats a bend down on the whammy bar

  e---------5--------------------------------------------------------------

  a--9----------------9-------9----7--5---------9-------9-----7-5---------
  E--------------------------------5--------------------------5-----------
  
  The solo is something like this:
  The starting thing is Jimmy holding down the Whammy Bar as hard as he can
  and forcefully picking out a E-Chord and letting up on the bar:
  
  e-------0----12----------------12-------------------12---------------12--
