I used to play this version of it, really, but no one in any audience ever got it.

Stairway to heaven is something I used to play when I was just starting on a guitar. It's not a very dynamic song to play I much prefer blues or Celtic now.

There was a weekly television show here in Australia some years ago where guest bands performed their own versions of 'Stairway To Heaven'.
Here's a link to 26 versions! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...1C97ADB8ED0B89 The version by 'The Australian Doors' is brilliant, sounds like Jim Morrison. There's orchestral, early Beatles, reggae, country, Elvis, B52's ..... enjoy.

That performance combined so many great things I like: Classy environment/venue, rock, execution, beautiful arrangement, and some theatrics. EDIT - What guitar is Nancy Wilson playing, and what Taylor is the Taylor player playing? Last edited by NOTP; 09-28-2014 at 12:54 AM. |

So, at what point does a song become "overplayed?" Do you apply this to classical music as well? Just asking?

Back in the '80s when I was actually making a decent living playing solo classical guitar (mostly in restaurants), a friend who was probably one of Led Zep's biggest fans ever asked me if I'd learn it. So I started working on an instrumental version and one day just segued into "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" at the end. Made a pretty good medley, especially with the "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" ending. It's always received good responses. I've only been asked not to play it once and that was by some church guy who told me the lyrics were "evil." That was back in '82 when I was playing for tips and a meal at a Sunday brunch at a little hippie cafe in South Austin just up the street from my house. I told him to put 50 bucks in my tip jar and it was a deal. He went and complained to the owner and the owner just laughed and said, "I don't have any control over what he does. He just comes in here and plays." The church guy's table was next to where I was playing, so when he sat down I said, "Do we have a deal?" He said, "No," so I said, "Look, it's an instrumental, just enjoy the melody," and took it from the top. His girlfriend seemed to be enjoying it, leaned over and said something to him, and they stayed. HE never looked at me again but on their way out SHE turned and gave me a big smile. Note: I'm not against church folks. I know a lot of you are on the praise teams of your churches and mean no offense to you I just don't like it when someone interrupts me when I'm playing and tries to get in my face.

But in answer to your question, there are a lot of people who get their knickers in a knot over that one, too (though I'm not one of them), so yeah, I think it probably counts, at least for some.

Yup. It's a relic from a bygone era relegated to Muzak channels in dentists offices right along with Comfortably Numb and Hotel California! ;-)

Stairway, denied!
Actually it might not be played much now in guitar shops, but trust me, a few decades ago, Wayne will tell you it certainly was quite the song to play in the store.
