It's all fingerpicked, I believe, until the end jam and solo. To get that harsness and that clean speed, you will need a pick (unless you are timmy).

it's fingerpicked until approximately 2 mins 13 seconds.

you'll hear a slow strum that can only be done with a pick.

the rest is picked.

From that chord and on...it is entirely strummed. Im sure.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well, and I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been...

I don't know how Jimmy Page played it, but it is easy to play with a pick. I think there are only a couple of places where you need to use the pick and your middle finger.

Then you already have the pick for the strumming parts.
