The material on the first two albums was largely constructed out of extended jams of blues standards and folk songs.
This method led to the mixing of musical and lyrical elements of different songs and versions, as well as improvised passages, to create new material, but would lead to later accusations of plagiarism and some legal disputes over copyright.
Usually the music was developed first, sometimes with improvised lyrics that might then be rewritten for the final version of the song.
From the visit to Bron-Yur-Aur in 1970, the songwriting partnership between Page and Plant became predominant, with Page supplying the music, largely via his acoustic guitar, and Plant emerging as the band's chief lyricist.
Jones and Bonham then added to the material, in rehearsal or in the studio, as a song was developed.
In the later stages of the band's career, Page took a back seat in composition and Jones became increasingly important in producing music, often composed on the keyboard.
Plant would then add lyrics before Page and Bonham developed their parts.
