Then you can barre with one finger and play the reversed Chuck Berry 5th to 6th hop with a one fingered pulloff and play the slide w/ the pinky.
not sure about the tuning. pretty sure the riff is b5 to 5 to Major 3rd...a t least that's how i played it there.
worked out nicely in the key of "D" using the open D string as a drone and playing the melody up the G string at frets 13, 14, and 11.
other Zep quotes i'll toss off....both the vcl melody ("Hey, Hey, Momma....") and the gtr riff of "Black Dog". they work great over both dominant 7th or minor chords!
"Living Loving Maid" is another easily plugged in quote.
