“Gallows Pole” (Led Zeppelin III) was the first time for banjo and on “The Battle Of Evermore” (Led Zeppelin IV) a mandolin was lying around. It wasn’t mine, it was Jonesy’s. I just picked it up, got the chords, and it sort of started happening. I did it more or less straight off. But you see that’s fingerpicking again, going on back to the studio days and developing a certain amount of technique. At least enough to be adapted and used. My fingerpicking is a sort of cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs and total incompetence.
