I Played "Stairway..." on the Guitar

Recommended Posts

Oh, sure, we all learned the song years ago. After all, it was the law: All novice guitar players were required to learn "Stairway to Heaven." After boycotting the song for years because I was sick of it, I finally played it again this week. It's really not a bad song, and sounds okay when played well.B|

Anyone else?


Cheers,
Jon

Great song. I've picked up the guitar again after a few years & have recently learned the Rain Song (my favorite) and White Summer/Black Mountain Side. The only downside is the funky tunings for those songs.

Jimmy Page is da man.

Now, I'm working on Classical Gas. Not a Page song, but pretty cool.

YES!!!! Perhaps my all-time favorite Zep tune. I've been playing it for 30 years and almost have it down cold. I played that one a couple of times at open-mike night a few years back, the closest I ever came to getting cheap sex from a young woman based solely on my cool guitar skill. If I wasn't old & fat it might have happened...[:/]

Also, last year I worked out a passable solo version of "Rock and Roll." Damn Page - it's a three chord song which took me 30 years to figure out.

Mason Williams. I taught it to many a guitar student. Still love it. You would think after playing it/listening to it that many times I would be sick of it, but I'm not..

Did you ever think about getting the sheet music or tab? ;)

No. I had the Zeppelin book many years ago, back when I couldn't begin to play most of the stuff in it. Wish I still had it now.
