Still can’t get used to that extra beat at 5:35 after all these years

It's not an extra beat. The "one" just isn't where you think it is.

Frank Zappa's cover helps emphasize this (starting at 6:03 in this version):

One of the weirder things that happen in Jimmy's solo towards the end of the 3rd bar (~6:08), when he's playing in the 5th position, he releases his barre and plays a single open G string, semi-palm muted.

Maybe a flub?

Do you mean the G at the beginning of m. 6 here?: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3e/a7/34/3ea734fe981150735f350e6288b7ae89.jpg . I've always done that on the 5th fret of the D string. I'm pretty sure it's intentional in any case. That said, tbh, I actually do find this solo challenging to do cleanly at tempo.

I just checked the live clips from the Song Remains the Same version and the 75 Earls Court version and that passage is completely different from the studio version both times, although everything in the solo prior to that point is v close. Maybe he found it challenging too?

(although tbh that's actually one of the easy parts imo, at least if you do it all in fifth position)

A student brought in "Samba Triste" and I wonder if maybe Baden Powell should have sued Spirit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znEjrSnwP_4
Brian Hodel's arrangement, from 83, I think, actually uses the identical voicings of the first three chords as they are found in "Stairway":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTpqZlEimtI
