 Here is the official way to play Four Sticks as I got it directly from the complete Led 
 Zeppelin IV Tabulature book.
 
                                          FOUR SТIСКS
  				Words and music by Jimmy Page
 			              and Robert Plant
 
 The intro/verse riff has three guitars, all standard tuning:
 
 guitar 1:
 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------/2--5b--------/2--5b-----
 --4--5----------4--5------------
 --------------------------------
 
 guitar 2:
 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --6--7--9--------6--7--9--------
 --4--5--7--------4--5--7--------
 --0--0--0--------0--0--0--------
 
 guitar 3:
 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 -------------7-------------7----
 -------------9-------------9----
 -------------7-------------7----
 --------------------------------
 
 All of that repeats acouple times with some small ad-lib variations on guitars 1 and 2 
 with things like slides and vibratos until:
 
 guitar 1:
           let ring 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------/2----------------------
 --4--5---0-------5------------------
 --------------------------------
 
 guitar 2:
 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --6--7---7-------9-------------
 --4--5---7--12---7-------------
 ---------5--12------------------
 
 guitar 3:
 
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 --------------------------------
 ------------------10-----------
 -0/9-0/10---------10-----------
 
 All of that is played throughout the song besides the chorus, which has three more 
 guitars:
 
 Guitar 4 (Acoustic)
 
 ----------------2--2--0--2------------------------------
 -5--5--2--5--5--3--3--3--3--5--5--2--5--7--7--7--7/9----
 -2--2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4--2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4/6----
 -2--2--2--2--2--5--5--5--5--2--2--2--2--4--4--4--4/6----
 -0--------------------------0--------------------0------

 Guitar 5: (Acousic)

 Those 3 guitar parts are a bit different during the lyrics, but the lyrics basically 
 drown them out, the part I posted was the part between the lyrics. If you want the part 
 during the lyrics, e-mail me.
 
 And the last guitar parts, guitars 4 and 5 play during the synthesiser, goes like this:
 
 --------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------
 --------------------------0--0--0--0--7--7--7--------------7----
 --4--2--0--2--4--6--8--9--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--------------8----
 --5--4--2--4--5--7--9--7--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--7--7--7--7--9----
 --------------------------0--0--0--0--0--0--0-------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 There are some not to important parts that I left out that aren`t really even heard, any 
 questions, comments, or song requests, e-mail krinks@aok.net
