Learn how to play Friends, as performed by Led Zeppelin released on their third album Led Zeppelin III in 1970. The song utilizes the feel of Indian music which was popularized in the mid-late 60s, and Page uses an open C6 tuning for the song with really only two very easy chord shapes for the whole song. Don't be afraid of the alternate tuning - super easy, give it a try.

The lesson covers all of the acoustic guitar parts that Jimmy plays here from the first intro chords, through the buildup and climax at the songs outro.
