Guitar Lesson - Stairway to Heaven Solo Note for Note
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Here's a guitar lesson on of the most famous solos ever - a guitar lesson on the Stairway to Heaven Solo Note for Note. If there was one band that stood out during then 70's as a yardstick for how good you were as a guitarist, it was Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page was regarded in many circles as "The Best." Period. Here's a guitar lesson on exactly that - how to play the Stairway to Heaven solo note for note. Stairway to Heaven Solo tutorial Note for Note.
And of course, their signature song was Stairway to Heaven. Now you had to know the beginning ... that goes without saying ... but everybody KNEW you were a great player if you could play Page's solo from that song. There's no doubt it's a good one. Very bluesy, but also very memorable. Even Frank Zappa did it - with the horn section doing the solo even!! (you can see it here: • Video ). In any event, you should put it into your repertoire. Enjoy!!

I was 16 when I first heard stairway to heaven I am 60 now and it does the same thing to me every time I hear it or play it ! Thanks
I'm the same way. Still hits me like when I was a teenager. Stands the test of time for me. You too, clearly! Thanks for watching!
That escalated quickly
@@samgspot It did. Removed two of comments. I think the rest are at least somewhat guitar related and not trolling.
I am from 1972 and Starways is simply the first rock song i remember listening to . This was late 70's I was 8 or 9 on my fathers radio, he didnt even have a hifi at that time !I was shocked by the power and melody , compare to the child song i was used to. And it took me years before discovering what was the name of the song/band, its only at high school that i figured out ! Song of my life ! And now thanks to Mark I'm learning the solo !
I love that. What a great story!!
Who else is way under 40? Haha. I’m 19, been playing guitar for 9 years now and I must say, Stairway to Heaven is my favorite song of all time
Never too early ... or late to rock!
I'm 15.
Ggrat for you man I play with a lot of younger musicians and they love led even though they were not born yet in their hey day
alszemez Im 12, Started playing 3 months ago. I know this whole solo. But Im practicing speeding it up. I love Zeppelin, and would love to master this solo. Jimmy Page is probably the best riff writer ever.

I've been wanting to play this solo since I was 14. I'm 60 now...better late than never I guess. Thanks for the excellent breakdown...you're a great teacher.
Thanks Fred!!
I'm with you. Love the solo.
Fred Reardon same ...wantin ths since i was 12...53 now....still couldnt figure out in my head..how to play iconic first part of solo...brilliantly broken down...luvved n subbed....my soul thanks you sir..
Did you manage it Fred? I've been trying to play it, making slow progress. I'm 52

Been playing off and on for 20 some odd years I’m 56. Just bought an electric guitar so I’m going to give this a shot. Pray for me. By far my favorite guitar solo.
Good luck Jeffrey. You might want to try something easier first to gain confidence and build strength in the fingers. Tuesday's Gone is a good one to start with. Easy notes so you can focus on getting the tone and the bending right.
26 year old woman here, been playing for about 15 years now and studied classical guitar in college. BUT I've been wanting to learn this solo for so long, thanks for the video!
You're welcome Audrey. Thanks for watching!
Its better u marry me and ppay together ... lol im just joking my sister ....god bless and god bless ur family be happy ..
For those interested the studio version of the solo was recorded on a Telecaster
Yes it was.
@@MarkZabel isn't it crazy where the solo has become synonymous with a Les Paul? Even though I know it's a Tele it still sounds like a Gibson to me
I know exactly what you mean. He got a big sound from the Tele and Supro.
A good les Paul Sounds similar like Telecaster but with humbuckers!
What😲It was a trip when I saw JP with a Tele in a video the first time,, way way back
I'm 66 and finally I'll be able to play the damn solo (lol) correctly → thanks to you Mark... Excellent pedagogy...
Thanks Simon!
Loved the lesson! Thanks, Mark. Many years ago I tried to learn it, but I didn't have a good way of playing it over & over to learn all the notes (had a vinyl record that wasn't mine, lol !), and at the time I didn't think I could really do it. Now I know I can, especially after you showing me all the details!
So glad I could help! I wore out at least one copy of LZ IV doing that!
Thanks, i was learning by listenning to the song but i was doing very wrong with the fast lick stuff. Now i'ts okay ! You helped a lot ;) !
Thanks! Glad I could help.
Your way of patiently and slowly showing us note for note how to play songs and solos is by far the best on RUclips.. a big thank you from an old goat (56) in Vermont !! Please keep them coming.
Thanks Tommy. Much appreciated!! (From one old goat to another. 😀)

Keep going man!
Mark Zabel Thanks. It helps if I break it into sections. 😎🙏
@@JoeRivermanSongwriter Sure thing. Just an FYI, RUclips flagged this as spam and I had to approve. Who knows why? But you might want to out a little text in there or break into two comments or something like that. Rock on!
Okay my friend thank you very much. I’m not really that fussed about learning the solo really but in learning it you get into the mind set of Jimmy Page and where his fingers naturally go and so it opens up a world of Jimmy Page so to speak for me. Thanks again.
Yep. In the end you want to play like yourself. But understanding and being able to make it talk a little like Jimmy or Jimi or Eric or Jeff can't hurt.
Dear Mark I hear you teacher , I am a 44 Years old kid 3 of my childhood friends were totally obsessed about led zeppelin they used to wear the T - shirts and carry the physical graphite album under they arms to whatever they went it was late “Heavy” and “Branco Weverton “ R.I.P thank you for this lesson l am polishing with you cos you are very meticulously about details and I do appreciate it thank you , amazingly done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I loved it man so much you Rock’n’Roll with that Gorgeous P-90’s thank you
Thanks so much for the lovely note!! And thanks for watching!
A refreshingly straightforward guide through the licks for this classic. As one who was "there" in the original days - thank you
Thanks Marcus!
Hey Mark, an excellent video tutorial to such a classic song. I learnt to play the acoustic section by ear 30 years ago and now thanks to you I can play the solo too!
Thanks so much Prem!
@@MarkZabel Hello Mark, I was wondering if you could recommend some places to source good guitar backing tracks? I have used ‘guitarbackingtrack.com’ but they have closed down now!
@@premathwal993 Hi Prem. Elevated Jam Tracks does excellent work and his files are on Bandcamp. If you're looking for specific songs, then karaoke-version.com is good. Both are pay sites.
@@MarkZabel Thanks for this Mark. The karaoke-version.com seems like a good option as I want to play along to songs. Btw I also discovered an app on the Apple store called ‘JamTracks’ where you also pay per track. You can customise every instrument on the track (remove/add), change pitch and change tempo. Only downside is that the tracks are streamed, i.e. not downloadable. The user reviews are not that brilliant but the quality of the tracks are really good. You can get the first track for free. Thanks again, Prem.
Awesome instructions. Great job. Thanks 71 rocker, still have my guitar and amp from the 60's. 66 Guild, 67 Blackface Twin Rev.
Thanks! My brother still has some if his gear from the early 70s. That stuff was built right!
Mark. These tutorials are great. Thanks. I do wonder if you could spend a little time talking about the right hand though. I have real trouble getting up to speed. For example, in the first and most famous phrase does it help if you pick up (the direction of the run) or doesn't it matter. Sometimes its not so easy to see in the video.
Of course, it may be because you've practiced for years and I am trying to learn this between emails.
Thanks! I do talk about picking quite often, but not when I don't perceive it's tricky. (Sometimes I don't see it, as I'm very comfortable picking most anything as you say. Lots of sweat when I was younger.).
I think for the first lick I sometimes start with a downstroke on the 1st string and sometimes with an upstroke. Then I use alternate picking for the rest whatever I do first.
I really like the way you have broken down this into manageable chunks, makes a tricky solo ( for me) way easier! Many thanks
Glad to help!
I really appreciate your lesson for this solo. It is really invaluable what I got to learn tonight about this iconic solo. Thanks a lot for sharing your expertise.
Thank you for the kind comment. Much appreciated. Glad you found the video helpful!
Whatever guitar he played thanks Mark for simplifying the solo it will take me at least as long as dear prudence to master this lick but once I got it in my noggin it's there forever
You're welcome. Yes, chasing down tone to the nth degree I believe is a losing battle. Supposedly he used a Fender 1959 Telecaster played through a Supro Amp ... although he was a bit fuzzy on the amp, saying in an interview it may have been a Marshall. I just try to dial it in close enough and then let my ears and fingers do the best job they can. Over time I have found I get better that way. I'll never be *exactly* where Jimmy Page was, but that's impossible (and not really even desirable IMHO ... incorporate his style, but you still want to be you). As long as you and others enjoy it ... that's what it's about I think.
Mark Zabel yeah that is right you can spend a lot of time trying to get a tune exactly right I prefer to give my own spin on it once I have mastered the basics of the song
thank you sir for sharing I love this song my brother in law just passed and left me his acoustic electric guitar and he self taught himself by ear!!! I have been practicing it's tough when you drive OTR, but I have the passion for it thank you so much for taking your time to share your hard earned knowledge!!!!
Thanks for the kind comment. Sorry to hear about your brother in law. Playing by ear is a lost art. Too many players today use TAB exclusively. It's not good. They become "hand players". Able to play anybody else's music but none of their own. I know all about playing guitar when on the road for work. Keep up the play brother and thanks again for the kind comment!
Sorry bout you brother man😥
Yeah I drive otr too I usually have my truck guitar a Martin acoustic to pass the time while at the shippers
Thank you. i now know the solo, now its time to refine it and play it to the actual song. god I love playing classic songs. though, it does take the time and patience to learn a solo. luckily this video expidited the process.
I will say it was a little hard to follow the video , but with the tab sheet open (which isnt totally accurate to the video) it helped fill in the gaps...also re-watching the video constantly was the key for me.
Glad it was helpful for you.
Well I'm 17 and for the past 7 months I've been playing guitar ... learning on my own ... I can play the whole song but not the solo ... 😪
That's great! If you don't push too fast it will come. And if possible, find others to help; a teacher and other band mates. Music is meant to be played and shared with others. Also, playing with others is the best way to learn. Good luck and keep at it!
@@MarkZabel I have a friend who has been learning on his own but more than me I think like 1 year and a half ... where I live it's difficult to get a teacher or someone who can help you ... especially these days because of corona ... to be fair though I've done well ... it's gonna come with practice ... I remember like 3 months ago I couldn't even play the intro ... now everything except the solo ... I'm not saying I play it perfectly but I'm proud of the effort and the time that I've put on this instrument ... thanks for the reply! Wish you the best 🎸🎵
@@stimpyman9793 Yes, you should take pride in what you've accomplished. One thing you can do today is to record yourself and share with someone who is a better musician than you and whom you trust. They can give you feedback. Even just listening to yourself played back is hugely helpful.
@@stimpyman9793 i am 20 and i have been trying to learn by only myself almost a year and yeah it is hard and i lost my motivation when i lerning this but i will not let it broke me :) so what is your situation now ?
@@ceydaboluk7419 hahah I've learned it all
I don't even remember commenting that...I've become much better with the guitar...still got so much more to learn and practice but I have made progress
most accurate rendition I've seen. Thank you for taking the time to share
My pleasure Kirk. Thanks for watching!
So now I have my homework assignment for 2020! Good lesson Mark.
Thanks Mac!!
the lesson was great, thank you. It looked so difficult before but you broke it down so well. Learned the whole solo.
So glad you found the lesson helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this tutorial!! I have been trying to learn this solo for so long and was getting nowhere with it. It took me some time to get it all down, but after 5 weeks of practicing every day for an hour, learning each part very slowly before speeding it up, I finally got it! Patience is key!
You're welcome and thank you for watching! Patience definitely is a key - to this and much in life. Patience and perseverance.
What a great lesson. There are a lot of famous RUclips guitar teachers, and they are really good. But this one suits me the best, thanks👍🏼
Wow, thank you!!
Mark Zabel well, thank you Mark🙏🏼, you Made my Day. For the first time I am able to play this solo. Not in the original tempo, but that’ ll come 👍🏼
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us Mark
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment!
WOW!!! What an awesome tutorial Mark. I was just stumbling around You Tube and came across you site, man it's my lucky day you're great. My mind is always open to learning and you my friend are a fantastic teacher. Thanks so very much.
Thanks so much William! Glad you stumbled upon my channel. You're always welcome. Let me know what else you'd like to hear!
Jesus Jimmy what are you trying to do to me? I’m going to master this but it’s going to take some time. However along the way I have found some very interesting licks. Thank you sir. And Jimmy. 🙏
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
I only ever learned the first line. It's a handy line to know. Maybe one day I'll learn the rest, if I do I'll refer to this lesson. Note for note takes time, which I don't have atm.
His targeting of the F naturals is smart.
Bookmarked. Thx.
Glad to help Matt! Take your time with it ... definitely worth taking the time.

Excellent teaching skills.
Thanks Maurice!
I was around 7 when I first heard it and this still is great
You know it!
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and I saw them Memorial day of 77 in Landover MD. Still have my ticket. So anyway, great lesson. I have alwaays played the song well but the lead not so much. This helps. Once Jimmy gets to that hight e string on the 17th, he spices it up a bit live. Lots of variations of course. But the studio version that you do is special. A friend of mine at a guitar lesson once said, his teacher told him, its so great I do not know if Jimmy could play it again.
Thanks. Yeah, classic solo.
Page and Django ...always perfect and correct.
Even when they messed up they made it sound great. Page had that manic style that some call "sloppy" (like on Heartbreak for example). Maybe, but if so it's "perfectly sloppy". Thanks for watching!
@@MarkZabel 😆👍
Excellent! Thanks for sharing this gem! I will certainly be able to learn it from your lesson! BTW, I have not seen 40 in the last 27 years. LOL... I am learning this solo upon request of my 43 year old son; he says I don't play enough LZ and I need to offset the PF I play most often. Page and Gilmour both write great guitar.
My pleasure Bill. Your comment really made my day!
your attack and technique are masterful, Mark. thanks again for the inspiration and notations.
Thank you so much!
Mark, reading the rest of comments, you sure do have a great and positive attitude in your responses, GOD bless you.
Thank you so much for noticing! I'm glad that comes through. See you down the road!
Mark, you are my favorite guitar teacher on RUclips along with one other (Shutupand...) You are always note for note. I've long wanted to learn the Stairway Solo, I'm 56. Will Start tonight. I sent a small donation as a thanks.
Hi Richard. Thank you so much. To put me alongside ShutUpAndPlayGuitar is high praise, as he's excellent! I saw you donated, and I very much appreciate it! Thanks!!
That was such a clear lesson. Thanks, you're a really great teacher
Thanks Bobby!
Thank you Mark for this piece again. Again your teaching is awesome...
You are very welcome. Thanks for listening!
It’s crazy to me that you reply to every comment. It really shows that you care about your audience 👏👏 great lesson
Thanks Ollie! It's really nice when someone notices. Sometimes it's tough to respond, but usually the comments are kind, so it's easier then. Thanks for watching!
No worries just keep up the good work ❤️
Mark you are an awesome teacher !! This is soooo good 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you! 😃
Iconic lead for the head! Thanks for the fix!! 😎
My pleasure Kevin. Thanks for watching!
The song remains the same movie Page played it really nice...Yeah stairwell to hell...Wow you did a great job on this one. Les paul is beautiful.
Thanks Fred!
Thanks Mark for the stairway solo lesson.There are alot of lessons on this but yours is by far the best.Im really learning it thanks.Jim
Jim Cassara You're welcome ... and thanks!!!
I don’t know if you still read comment but great job, thanks!
I do. Thank you very much!!
Mark, Been playing since I was 9, classically taught... 60 now and in a Heart tribute Band that is performing Heart's version from when Zep was inducted into Hall of Fame. Excellent breakdown of an epic solo from an epic song. Your skills as a player are matched by your skills as a teacher. Best video out there, PERIOD. Subscribed to the channel right away and looked for possibly a video of the lead from "No Quarter".. Have you done it and I'm just not seeing it? If so; point me in the right direction my friend. Again, well done all around. Peace
Thanks so much! I haven't done "No Quarter". I love that version they do in the "Song Remains the Same" movie.
Hi Mark, I like your style of teaching. I actually learned this song all the way through. Your slow and clear method seems to work well for me. I stop the video and start from the beginning over and over again until I get it. Now I will work on trying to speed it up while following the record. Thanks for the great lesson.
Thanks Andy! Sorry for not getting back to you until now. Do you have any song suggestions you'd like me to do?
Mark Zabel thanks Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress by the Hollies
You got it!
One of the 2 best Stairway lead tutorials I have EVER seen. Bravo, and, thank you!
I really enjoyed learning from you. I've been a drummer for many years. Since 17 years old till 44 now. I've been playing rhythm guitar for quite a while from being around it and play pretty good. But never learned to play leads. Until now. I've decided it's time. Lol. So watching your video and a couple others I've memorized the stairway solo but gotta get a little faster and more fluid with it. It's crazy how almost everyone plays this lead different. And I mean really different. Yours seems to be pretty right on with the original recording. So thanks for that!!
Thanks Brian! Glad you liked it. I do my best to make it sound right, but I'm not a stickler for getting "exactly what Jimmy Page played" in terms of fretboard position and such. He has his own hands and I have mine and you have yours. I like to get it pretty close, but then make choices on what works best for me. I think I got this one pretty close, so thanks for the acknowledgment!
Hey, what else would you like to hear/see?
@@MarkZabel some of the licks he does in living loving maid would be cool to see. Plus the whole song for that matter. Also 10 years gone would be pretty sweet to learn. For me anything Zeppelin really. Some Beatles stuff is always cool too.
@@brianray2376ify Thanks Brian. I'll put together some Living Loving Main and Ten Years Gone. Zep is always a crap shoot in that 1/2 of it gets taken down. Bummer, but they're very protective. Odd, given that they took so much from others early in their career. (I'm still with them on the lawsuit over STH, but they could have at least given more credit to some of the blues guys.)
@@MarkZabel yeah that's for sure bro!!
@@MarkZabel hey have you ever watched any Paul McCartney conspiracies about Paul McCartney getting switched to William Shears Campbell? It's pretty interesting once you look into it a bit. I'm not sure what I believe but there was definitely multiple Paul McCartney's. Well multiple pictures of Paul McCartney's anyways.
Thanks Mark excellent tutorial of this solo,very much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you keep teaching us gentle man
Will do!
Love that mid- 70's Gibson Les Paul Guitar with the smaller Pick-ups [ I traded a Gibson ES - 355 for one plus $125 - insane trade but the other guitar had feed back] Wish that I keep both-Great Job!
Thanks!
may you add in please ccr looking out my back door please
Sure thing!
Awesome lesson! Thanks so much for putting the time in, much appreciated and very helpful!
My pleasure. Thank you for listening! Please let me know what other songs you'd like!
Malinae Kang magturo Ng tuturia basic very nice mahusay ka mag turo 🙏🇵🇭
Great tutorial. I'd say the best at least with this song. I'll subscribe for sure.
Thanks Enrique!
i dont normally comment on video tutorials but this was excellent and i'm only a few minutes in. Not many people actually take the time to highlight the scale theory.
Thanks Justin! I appreciate the comment.
thx this helped me get to know the full song of stairway to heaven and im only 12! ive been playing for 7 years now
Whoa! You're 12 and you've been playing 7 years?? Keep it up!!
I am finally going to learn this solo. Thanks for the lesson.
My pleasure. Best of luck!
Mark, I can't say it enough how much i enjoy your channel and the effort you put into your content. You're a fantastic guitarist and teacher! Thank you for this one, i can play it at 75% speed ....full speed is another story! Cheers bud!
Len, from SC
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the content.
Well done. Thnx for your musical service.
This is just great Mark. I love your slow methodical approach to these solos. I also like that you provide alternate fingerings for the tricky parts. ... You're becoming one of my "go to's" for learning solos.
Thanks again for dedicating the time to teach.
Thanks! I appreciate your kind comment!
Either slow or Methodical would work. In this case they mean the same thing. Reminds me of that Green Day song on Nimrod, ITs called Redundant
And he only played them slow during the lesson. He played the solo fast at the beginning. Just sayin
Excellent stuff, even nine years on you continue to produce great videos. Cheers!
Thanks so much, you demonstrated the full solo very clearly
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked it.
Good job. I know this one. Always looking to improve on everything so I watched. I believe when you think you already know it all, is when you stop improving.
It's funny because I grew up listening to this song and grew sick of hearing it. Decades later, I play it on guitar. Over and over again. Lol.
Thanks for watching. Yes, I go back to basics all the time. Always learn something too!
Stairway to Great Clips?
Thanks Mark, this was great!
LOL! I just found sheep shears at the top! Thanks for watching! :)
I can play this now - thank you so much!
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Jo, how long did it take you to get this down???
MarK Zabel, parabéns pelo vídeo, muito bem explicativo, um dos melhores do site, nem precisa de tablatura, mereceria milhares de visualizações e comentários !!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Obrigado!
That is so spot on brilliant.
Thanks Paul!
I like the way you give alternate ways to play the same thing, good stuff
Thanks Cliff!
Excellent I have the tabs for that lead but you really flow it together since jimmi does it so fast it is nice to get a slower look
Thanks! Glad it helped.
This is the most clean and fluid and just all around perfect solo I’ve heard so far! Well done! Definitely been finding your videos helpful and useful. Do you provide private lessons?
Thanks Dylan! I do give private lessons via Zoom. Check www.markzabelguitar.com to get more info and contact me if you'd like. Thanks again!
Mark, Thanks for posting the lead solo to STH I've been trying to figure it out for decades! lol Now I see how to play it correctly.
Awesome. Glad to hear it!!
Thanks this video really helped me learn the solo from stairway to heaven. I myself are a fan of les Paul's and I am using a special ii to learn this solo.
Tyler Nandalal Glad I could help!
Tyler N, there's no doubt that Les Paul's rock, but Jimmy stated in more than one interview, that the Stairway solo was played on a Telecaster!
Thanks, man. Been meaning to learn that one for decades!
My pleasure. One of the greatest solos ever for sure. Glad I could help!
Fantastic Mark. I have a lot of respect for your musical knowledge. You also play with a lot of feel, which is not something one can teach! I am eagerly awaiting part 2 of your Jesus Left Chicago! One of the best on RUclips Mark!
Thanks Mark! I try, and I love many of these songs, so maybe that's what comes out in my play. At least I hope so. I also try not to take myself seriously, so that helps. You know, back in the day whenever I was having fun on stage (no matter what I was playing) it always worked and I would get asked back either as a sideman or to play some other time. And that was true no matter what the venue or genre ... rock, bluegrass, bars, weddings, stages, you-name-it. Music is about having fun. But yeah, sometimes it's fun to sound good too! :)
Thanks again, I really appreciate the positive feedback!
Again thanks and for the reply. A great video. Another 50 years and I be ready to go....
You're welcome ... and LOL! It only matters that you enjoy yourself along the way! Take care.
Thank you kind sir
My pleasure. Thank you for watching!
Just stumbled across your page here, I’ll surely go over this tutorial this evening, thanks for sharing this. 👍
My pleasure. Take your time with it!
I will!
I really have no choice but to, my muscle memory isn’t that muscular LOL!
I’ll be watching this quite a few days I’m sure, thanks again and fantastic explanation too.
Man that is really a complex lead but I am going to learn it good job mark
Thanks! Stick with it. Definitely worth doing it, as it's very fun to play!
Mark, again, thank you very much for sharing this, I am 55 and just started, I enjoy your method of sharing your skill with us all!!!, I very much love this solo, its long, but its good training for me, btw, you dont happen to be living in Phoenix do you ???, lol
@azsparky86 Hi! Thanks for your kind comment. That's great you're getting started - always a good time to do it. I'm afraid I live on the other side of the country in Central NY State. Right on the shores of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, NY. I've been to Phoenix a number of times. I could use a little of the Phoenix sun today!
Thanks for the lesson. I'd say this song is still a measuring stick for a good guitarist.
It's a classic for sure. Still holds up very well IMHO. Thanks for the listen!
i find this a very useful tutorial. dont khown you but I think you have to be a very good teacher
Thanks buddy!
Great mark I will be working on this for a while another good jimmi lead is over the hills and far away
Thanks Fred. Yes, there are so many great Jimmy Page leads, and OTHAFA is one of them. Thanks for that suggestion!! And thanks for the kind comment too!
Mark Zabel do you do open jams mark at first I was just so so then I really started working on songs but never had any training but persistence pays off whenever I do blackbird or dust in the wind I always get a good applause it is a trip for an old truck driver like me
yooo i can play the HOLE song now!! I've been on playing for more than a year now....thanks for the video!
Glad I could help! Rock on!!
Thanks man this video really helps a lot.
Glad it helped
Great tutorial Mike. Can't wait to learn this when I get an electric guitar.
Thanks. Get one soon!
What a clear explanation!thank you sir,salute you!
Thanks Roland!
Great again mark I keep on coming back to this lead I am bout halfway now I believe someone like Jimi Hendrix could of mastered it in a week but that is why I am still driving a truck though my love for the musicianship of it all keeps me going thanks for the great video
We all play where we can, but it's all good ... music is the best! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment!
Great job, great lesson. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Led Who??? never heard of these guys,but I bet they'll go over like a STONE BALLOON ;) p.s. Awesome lesson but I have to take a break,my fingers are hurting lol awesome Note for note dead on buddy tyvm for this great lesson ****** stars!
Hey Frank! Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely give your fingers a break. Mine are fairly old, so I have to do that all the time. Take care, buddy!
Excited to learn this. Thanks!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Is it bad i keep going back to the demo? It just sounds really good
No, it's just fine. Thanks so much!!
On the studio version when walking up the A minor Pentatonic They are pull offs aren’t they?
There are a couple of pull-offs there.
Great Job through and through. Great to learn with.,
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Is this too ambitious for someone whos been playing for only about 4 months i can play fortunate son wish you where here hotel California all on acoustic but this was the first solo i wanted to learn for my new electric guitar i would like to know like honest truthfull feedback is it possible just going to be difficult or is this nearly impossible at my skill
Hi Luis. I would not try this as your 1st solo. Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" or "Mainstreet" or "Easy" (Commodores) or "Suffragette City" or "Up Around the Bend" would all be better. It's important to learn how to articulate notes properly. Those are better, because you'll be less pre-occupied with playing fast and actually getting your fingers on the right frets quickly.
Thanks understood ill try this as soon once i think im proficient at some of those suggestions
