This is two souls who are in complete harmony with each other, with the chemistry of the two to create such beautiful music together, and it's amazing and I don't think how complex and hard this is to find between people, look you can say a singer is the main part of the band, the face of a band. The fact is for Nirvana example and Led Zeppelin it's not just one member of what makes this music stand the test of time, it is the chemistry and harmony of the souls that are playing together in a way that is un explainable and without all of the members such as with Rodrigo and Gabriel that all of them together is what makes the unforgettable music that stands the test of time possible NOT JUST ONE OF THEM. Yes one might have more influence in it then the others but it is NEVER JUST THE ONE PERSON it's all of them together what makes this music unforgettable and make it never die, or be forgotten.
I'm not a guitar player but I'm a player, (anything tuned in perfect 5th's) and someone many years back gave me a CD of Rodrigo y Gabriela and it had Stairway to Heaven on it. In the last 8 maybe 10 years I have listened again and again, and then over and over to the way the two work at the melting point of notes mixed and matched into one song being alive by two guitar player that understand that "it's all about the people listening" that make you great and maybe make you a little money. I first think Rodrigo is the best, and then I think, no - no it's really Gabriela that pulls the meat out of the fire before it's burnt. For some years now, just for myself, I listen and think about their selection, the timing, the way they sometimes pile one note on top of another note before the first one is totally clear and love the sound coming at me. They have a sound truly their own and it serves them well. I thank you R y G for the years of practice to learn your own way of playing, blessings ℗.
The Latin twist in this version is unique and recharges this classic song for more generations. The skill, love, and attention to detail these two bring forward is a complete homage to iconic music.
I am an American guitar player, and I can play that song note for note....you both have raised it to a level that to me is incredible! I salute you! wonderful!
I normally do not like covers of Stairway, guess I've just heard it done to many times. But I must say this one is very very good. Really fond of the arrangement, damn good job!

It's a matter of shame that people are even comparing Page to THEM. I personally like this sound very much but one who can rightly appreciate music won't compare the worshipper and the worshipped. These two have an immense love for the song and have hence decided to cover it with their own interpretation and feel. It's completely wrong to mix the two and blatantly, thoughtlessly claim their superiority over one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Just been to the gig at Brixton Academy where Rodrigo played the first 2 bars of this number, got massive applause, and then moved on! Absolutely brilliant gig, but just had to listen to this when I got home. Brilliant night. See them live if they play near you, they're brilliant.
Esto es lo mejor que he visto de Rodrigo y Gabriela. Este género les sienta muy bien, y se nota que en un repertorio de éste tipo se sienten muy cómodos. Yo loa pondría a la par y a nivel de ensambles como Apocalíptica. Muy muy bueno! (y)
How sad it is that when master like this play the director has to ruin it my trying to show his lack of laent changein camera angles every 3 seconds whn all you really want to see it the artist and their hands move
Nada más lindo que gozar y viajar a distintas sensaciones ,distintos mundos ,sin criticar ,ni dar otro punto de vista más que el de quedar lleno del alma con escuchar tanta vida. Como la música es.
saw them three times live already and I MUST say that they are absolutely mindblowing live and their new songs are more towards metal which is even better! cheers from belgium
Since years I come regularly here, twice a year or so. I can't stop listening. Cool music. Pity that they tour so little. They are fabulous when live, they love and life their music.
I have seen hundreds of "guitar "plyers in my life "time," and I beleave I have just witnessed "THEE TWO BEST ACUISTIC GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL "TIME" !!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing!!! Its a completely different style, but they still managed to the convey that feeling of mystique in the original. To each his own, music is heard differently by everybody, but this is just incredible. I was smiling the whole time!
I thought I was sick to death of this song, but in their hands it became something completely new and amazing. Incredible! I hope I get the chance to see them live some day!
it's videos like this that make me put my guitar down for a month at a time. i mean, what am i supposed to do after watching this? gabriella, i heart you....
Both these players are virtuoso and their togetherness is what makes the magic. But I just have to say Gabriela's playing is on a different level. I've never heard such intricacy combined with such feeling and swing. I'd compare her to Django but as a full rhythmn player. She is just jaw dropping.
Heard this on Sirus, The Coffee House, today and had to leave the car before it finished so looked here. At first I didn't like it - Killing a great song. But after the first minute I realized I really did like it - very much. They remained true to Stairway To Heaven yet took the song and made it their own. A class balancing act. I'll definitely be forwarding this link to some guitarists I know. Now to find it online for purchase...
Still listening to this after 10 years :)
First seen them at v festival 2007 , still love their stuff

It is not a latin rhythm, is a Spanish rhythm
I am an American guitar player, and I can play that song note for note....you both have raised it to a level that to me is incredible! I salute you! wonderful!
how could you dislike this? Very skilled musicians playing their hearts out
I could listen to this pair play guitar all day, all week long...they are that good.
This is my favorite rendition of stairway to heaven by far. Truely stunning!
Absolutely stunning, always brings a tear to my eye to hear them play.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
This is absolutely an awesome acoustical rendition, with great emotion and expression. These two just rock together! Great video, thanks for posting.
I've heard (too) many covers of this classic over the years. Just happened on this...Phenomenal!
OMG, 12 million views and posted 10 years ago - I have got to get out more. Fabulous rendition of a timeless classic!
Yes...and here I am 5 years later still thinking the same darn thing.
Sadly and incredibly these two are still vastly unknown in their home country
Martin Brizuela I know them.Everyone else will follow in due course.
+Martin Brizuela I don't know where you think they're from , but they're famous as hell in Mexico dude
+Martin Brizuela Ningun es profeta en su tierra natal

That's one of the most beautiful versions of that classic I've ever heard.
Wow I really love their reinterpretation of the guitar solo!
sharperguy invitation to look at my version of stairway to heaven on tapping !
more than 19000 view . thank !! and thank to stanley jordan to give inspiration !
As a Led Zep fan and a fan of music, I have to say this is great!
Jimmy page should envy these two! Better than original and not even a big name duet, these deserve more popularity and fans because this is real music

***** Totally with you on this one!

larmes aux yeux.....
magnifique
encore et encore
questo arrangiamento è fantastico!
Just Breathtaking ! sounds like music from another Planes of Existence
I just love the way they look at each other, and immediately, they're perfectly in sync.
Just a question, the 1.420 people who don´t like this are incredible talented musicians or don´t like music? For me that cover is awesome!!!!
Yes.... you got it.. were you able to hear the lyrics.... The song in one mind ......nice.. thu
I actually thought I could play guitar until I saw this :)
Ikr!
Esto es lo mejor que he visto de Rodrigo y Gabriela. Este género les sienta muy bien, y se nota que en un repertorio de éste tipo se sienten muy cómodos. Yo loa pondría a la par y a nivel de ensambles como Apocalíptica. Muy muy bueno! (y)
superbe !!!!
the best
Jimmy Page should know this cover!
I believe he does - I read that it was his favourite cover...
Simon Mawson Thank you for this answer. Take care.
then again, Jimmy Page's version is a cover of the song "taurus" amirite?
Thomas Noonan Jimmy Page stole a lot of tunes from other musicians. You are right, Stairway to Heaven sounds a lot like Taurus from the band Spirit!
Skodaman2 Funny comment :-)
They are great , but this song is suppose to be simply played, not complicated, so your mind can wonder.
Arkman Is that your expert opinion?
+Arkman rod's picking his way through some A minor arpeggios. what's your problem
This version of Stairway To Heaven is great. The guitars have a beautiful sound, and Rodrigo and Gabriella sure make beautiful music on them. Bravo!
How sad it is that when master like this play the director has to ruin it my trying to show his lack of laent changein camera angles every 3 seconds whn all you really want to see it the artist and their hands move
JIMMY WOULD BE PROUD
Would be?
So who disliked this video?!
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin are the only ones who should. And that would be jealous of these two.
Bien hecho Rodrigo y Gabriela, gracias por compartir sus talentos con nosotros, es un deleite para los oidos.
haters be like that quallity sucks, lets give'em thumbs down with all my 10 accounts
Heartstoppingly thrilling.
Thank you for promoting it here.
I am never disappointed when these two people cover a classic. Love it!
I am impressed. I can obviously say that I really enjoyed this classical flamenco style of Stairway. Simply magical
Stunning rendition. Can't say more... Simply Stunning
They're an excellent duo playing a flavorful cover tune... thanks for sharing that.
Siempre me encanta escuchar a Rodrigo y Gabriela, esa chica tiene manos rápidas de la guitarra!
Todo lo mejor para ti y los tuyos,
Steve en Irlanda.
easily one of the greatest covers of this song I've ever heard.
the greatest cover of all times.immense respect to you guys
Que Artistas!! . Me encanta ver los videos de estos mexicanos porque me transmiten una energia indescriptible.
Please come to Australia, so that I can see perfection up close... Fantastic rendition!!!
Nada más lindo que gozar y viajar a distintas sensaciones ,distintos mundos ,sin criticar ,ni dar otro punto de vista más que el de quedar lleno del alma con escuchar tanta vida. Como la música es.
Rodrigo y Mariela gracias JESS de haber hecho acordar!! te quiero!
saw them three times live already and I MUST say that they are absolutely mindblowing live and their new songs are more towards metal which is even better!
cheers from belgium
Absolutely breathtaking! These two are amazing!
These guys put on an awesome show! Wish I could see them again...
Since years I come regularly here, twice a year or so. I can't stop listening. Cool music. Pity that they tour so little. They are fabulous when live, they love and life their music.

Just absolutely loved this rendition, awesome !
This is amazing!!! Its a completely different style, but they still managed to the convey that feeling of mystique in the original. To each his own, music is heard differently by everybody, but this is just incredible. I was smiling the whole time!
This is so eye-wateringly, brain-meltingly, finger-achingly, earth-shatteringly immense.
I thought I was sick to death of this song, but in their hands it became something completely new and amazing. Incredible! I hope I get the chance to see them live some day!
The tune, the guitars, the love story… some people are really lucky!
Wow what a gem 💎 even after all the years that passed, this cover stands out and shine. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Both these players are virtuoso and their togetherness is what makes the magic. But I just have to say Gabriela's playing is on a different level. I've never heard such intricacy combined with such feeling and swing. I'd compare her to Django but as a full rhythmn player. She is just jaw dropping.
one of the best covers of any song,ever
This is my kind of bed-activity music, setting the mood straight :D
I don't usually post this kind of stuff but these 2 have amazing skills!
i love talent and this is a brave song to do being such a classic total class
Very fine performance. I love it.
Cómo es posible no poder darles más de un like!
Excelente versión! Bién por ellos.
Im a rocker, I've been from life, i absolutely love the original version it is a masterpiece.
Beautiful rendition
Heard this on Sirus, The Coffee House, today and had to leave the car before it finished so looked here.
At first I didn't like it - Killing a great song. But after the first minute I realized I really did like it - very much. They remained true to Stairway To Heaven yet took the song and made it their own. A class balancing act.
