Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

OK, here we go with perhaps the most requested song in the history of rock guitar "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. This song obviously needs no introduction, but I am gonna give one away. 😀
Besides being a classic song song loved by millions of people all over the world, "Stairway To Heaven" is also a great workout for virtually any guitarist. You get to use many different techniques and chord forms from finger-picking, to fast rhythmic strumming, arpeggiated picking and of course we have the epic solo.

The guitar solo Jimmy Page plays in this song is consistently voted as the greatest ever, whatever your thoughts are on it, it is definitely a fantastic study in the melodic soloing style of Jimmy Page. In these note-for-note lessons you will learn all of those little details that make up this great song. #stairwaytoheavenguitarlesson #ledzeppelin #guitarcovers

If you're having trouble with getting enough pressure on your bars I have some advice that helped me a lot. First you want to make the bars with the side of your index finger, not the flat of it. Next you'll want to bring your thumb down on the back of the neck, so that it almost seems like your pinching the neck with the side of your index finger and your thumb. You'll be able to create more pressure on the bar and be able to move your ring finger a bit further.


It'll hurt the side of your finger the same way the tips of your fingers felt when you first started playing. You'll have to callous that area, and practice stretching your ring finger in the proper position before you can reliably ring out the bar, but it should be easier now! Good luck and happy playing!

This guy taught me so much guitar over this year. When i win a grammy ima shout this guy out

[seniorsurveyor]

I have short fingers, and did not start playing 6 string guitar until about 6 years ago (I'm 64 now). I have trouble barring chords...but clear, slow, string-by-string, step-by-step instructional videos like this one have helped me a lot. I greatly appreciate your effort in providing them. Thank You!

You really just got to feel the song. Don't concentrate too hard relax and feel the song. It's pretty easy. For the people who can't do the bat chord, try using a tiny bit of the side of your finger, keep the thumb right under the finger you're barring with and press hard sorta like pinching.

I tried to learn this two months ago and gave up. I've finally decided to give it another go and I have now learnt it. You are the best teacher on yt and I use your video's every time I learn a new song. Thank you.

[Vendzor]

I tried looking at this video when I first started playing guitar. I look upon it now, nearly a year later, and realize it's actually really simple. Keep playing, never give up ;)

[jakeaguila]

i have not touch a guitar for the past 15years, i used to play back then, now my office happens to have one, and when i got it on my hands it brought back how i love to play this instrument, i have to re-learn everything though, fingers hurts and everything, i immediately search youtube for this song and gladly i stumbled into your video, i'd say you are a brilliant musician and a teacher, thank you! such an inspiration to get back playing! keep it up!

[rdds]

Learning to play this while being spoon fed to us by this great teacher is a very challenging...now imagine coming up with the tune from scratch! Mind blown!!! Thank you though. You are an amazing guitar teacher.

I started back in October and this was the first song I learned. I was the beginner who was stubborn to learn stairway right away. At least it worked out for me. Now I can play the solo on both acoustic and electric. Just comes to show that no matter where you start. You could play it with just a bit of practice.

[callousofficial]

I've been playing guitar for 8 years and just now bothered to learn this.

[hans-petergumbel]

problems with bars? try an electric guitar.

[wayrobinzombie]

I'm pretty much a beginner guitarist and this lesson made this complicated song so easy (: thank you so much!

[happynapkins]

to all the beginners in the comments. its stairway to heaven, not jingle bells, thats why you cannot play it.

[yudipitre]

Subscribed first time I see him . Lesson slow and he shows fingers clearly and says numbers. Awesome for a beginner like me.
Thank you 😊

[nothinmuch]
