Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

Guitarist Jimmy Page is the greatest and most mysterious guitar hero of all time and the solo as shown in the Stairway to Heaven tabs below has been voted by Guitar World magazine as the greatest guitar solo of all time. While recording the guitar solo, he used a Fender Telecaster which was a gift from Jeff Beck.

For the rest of the song he used a 1971 Gibson EDS-1275 guitar and a 12 string 1965 Fender Electric XII. The song saw the light of day on the fourth album by Led Zeppelin on 8 November 1971 generally referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. The album was a massive instant seller. Page has played some of the most fundamental and memorable guitar riffs in history, from the heaviest crunch to the most delicate acoustic finger picking and on these Led Zeppelin Stairway to heaven tabs you can see it all. The song begins slow with an acoustic-based intro and ends up in high-tempo hard rock section highlighted by an intricate guitar solo. This is a hard song to learn from start to stop but we hope that the guitar tabs below will help you.

The two guitars continue into this section. Walloping (a technical term
meaning hit very hard &) the strings using the full barre sounds pretty
good. The lead basically follows the bass. You can do both (like you
can tweak the slide riff with one guitar)

I think i can probably tabascii the bass now, ive listened to it enough.
But ive had it for this song!! unless someone really needs it please dont
ask just yet.. Ive gotten transfixed by a few other zepplin tracks
that where on the album, their slower more melodic stuff like no quarter
down by the seaside etc..

Hi,

Here’s the first part of the complete stairway tab. The solo is at the
end of it. When I’ve typed in the rest I’ll post it.
Meanwhile you can have a go with this.
