play stairway to heaven completely. yes, that means the solo.


i can't finish the solo but i think i could if i practiced on my electric, cause i run out of frets and space to play the end but i think i got stairway down.

everyone always says they can play stariway but if you can't play the solo then you can't play the song. I'm about 2-3 minutes away from having the whole song down. firedancer was right, start playing the classics when you think your at a dead end. he didn't say that word for word but if you know him you'd know he went off on the oldies. Fire??

Fuck Page! I practice Hendrix.

I almost got the whole Little Wing down. Meaning = I can play it, just not perfect.

so true! Once you can impress a store employee and show you are capable of handling an instrument, they will leave you alone; however, until then you are subject to scrutiny greater then a bird has for its prey.

I was at a friend's friend's apartment. I was fooling around on the guitar and started to play Stairway. The guy looks at it, and he never saw it the way I played it, and he started, and I never saw anyone play it like he played. So we stopped, and played along with eachother, and wow, what a version. I wish we would have recorded it . . . or at least learned eachohter's name, lmao.

Don't really understand. Did he play in another position or something?

That's some puppyloving right there, by the way. :wink:

I can play most of it. I can't play the solo very well, and I can't figure out the last bit of it. :( Can anyone link me to an accurate tab of it?

We picked it differently. Neither one of us was playing it the way Zeppling did. So we hit different notes, different voicings. It melded perfectly together.
