EASY!! STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN How to Play the Intro

[wavy29]

I love this song, its simple and easy, and its beautiful music. I think everyone should learn it! Even if you have a tough time learning it just ask someone, and i guarantee they will comment back. Love this video, it's simple and straight to the point, keep it up Bobby!

[Ajehandr0]

damn this was the right lesson for me! i tried learning this half a year ago and gave up but now it was easy. you are a great teacher because you teach with vision and thats easier than hearing numbers all the time!

[TheBananaman9]

thanks I learn all my songs from you Bobby!!!!!!!

[superfunkmonker]

are you on meth or something?

[romeonaron11]

Are you ok?

[reubencoughisag]

CANADIAN. fucking good video though xxxxx

[MrMichiokaku]

[xSOUNDWAVE56x]

by the age of thirty I'll have taken a ride through the carpel tunnel

[philipzai]

mate you're a legend, thanks for making playing guitar easier!

[MondayBuddies]

Cool. You are, seriously, the best. Thanks so much. You made it really easy to follow along. P.S. my mom has an under bite and says she feel for ya, Bro.

[bennie3vids]

you ok man?

[spullar99]

Thank you for the well done video's. This one is really nice, having the tabulature appear as you finger the notes and chords. It doe's clear up finger placement, if not seen clearly. I hope to learn this entire song. I started with a different video of yours, this is better, but they are all done well. Thanks again. Ken

[OoPICkoO]

Thanks! :) This were very helpful!

[LXAZE799]

This is great!  Thank you!

[mkovacic7]

he has Metallica poster behind *_____*

[roadrashff5]

you have the best last name ever!!! and this vid is very helpful, thanks

[butthead12100]

Probably the best lesson for the intro to Stairway I have ever seen. THANK YOU

[AtomicDeath48]

finally a good tutorial of this song with tabs, you never stop coming up with ways to amaze people thanks again.............. cats

[guitarluvr53]

why do u all think theres something wrong with him he obviously was just reading off a sheet of paper or thinking of what to say jeez

[cassiSuxx]

moving a bit fast but other than that EPIC

[Bomb941]

Wow :) this is actually helping me because i have been playing it my own way but now i know i will play it better (:

[TheRoyhan]

bobby crispy..thank you...

[Fourmalletz]

Awesome stuff. Got a classic nylon a couple weeks ago and have been learning stuff on YouTube. This is the third piece I have learned (the first two being "Romanza" and the intro to "Nothing Else Matter") and I gotta say you are probably one of the easiest to learn from. Though you move a bit fast, displaying the tab infinitely helps the inevitable pauses, and naming the chords has done a better job than pure chord-memorizing eveer could have done. Thank you. You are beast.

[blackwolfsquadron]

awesome job with that intro!

[tist006]

thanks for the help, but not gonna lie I thought you had a speech impediment at the beginning of the video

[BobbyCrispy]

@tist006 thanks. i'm not gonna lie, i have an underbite....know what it's like trying to eat a hamburger? :-(

[tist006]

@BobbyCrispy I can't imagine. I'm just teasing regardless, thanks for helping me learn this.

[TheZeppelinrocks]

@BobbyCrispy man i hate that the bottom half gets smaller than the top really fast

[damik181]

@BobbyCrispy dont worry bobby my boy...tis a gift from the gods.. can eat a pussy like no mortal man can!

[naidnirevlis]

[markbway0131]

Meth Head!!!!!!!

[ZZbottom230]

@markbway0131 hes not a meth head you dick head, hes an artist

[kikokahm]

so im just startin' out on this journey of the guitarist. a friend introduced this song to me last week. i liked it... so as usual i decided to go find the sheet music and a demo on how to play it. of course i found several "how 2's" b4 i stumbled across your lesson... after which, i stopped looking. this is not a good lesson at all. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT LESSON! very clear and concise. i really appreciate people like you who give freely to help others. thanx alot man! rock on!!

[MickAndruz]

Didn't finish the world is full of unappreciative people who r searching for negativity.. Let's remember the video took time and effort.. The negative people are the ones in need of medicinal support not u my friend. Don't let these people sway you from the good you do ..

[MickAndruz]

The world is full of unappreciative people who can

[MickAndruz]

Nice job !!

[Ghillie334]

My index finger hurts like a mother!

[SomYunGun]

thank you

[ROCKonLITTLEman]

hay retards sayin he on drugs u are to he not gud toturial dude keep it up

[LowRider1500]

[Kaliathan]

[SkateForFun607]

Thank You :D

[eyejab]

very nice instructions, thank you. this is the first song i'm learning to play on my first guitar. it's pretty hard...

[NoAbsolutelyNo]

is he...like stoned..? nvm nice lesson even on drugs lol

[BobbyCrispy]

WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT I'M ON DRUGS ( LIKE METH ) IN THIS VIDEO?? I'M NOT!!! I DON'T DO DRUGS!!!!

[TheKillerPuppet96]

@BobbyCrispy hey this is my first time picking up a guitar. i get where my fingers go but what strings do i play???

[drewestification]

@BobbyCrispy hahaha, dont worry man, you're doing great. i dont think you should worry about what you look or sound like. its what you play and teach that is important, and you do it brilliantly.

[Pleasefireme80]

@BobbyCrispy Thanks for the vid but you definitely seem a bit flaky bro. Not that everyone else isn't too but you totally look high. Just an observation.

[JOESCHIRMJAGER]

@BobbyCrispy I don't think your on drugs, i think people aren't used to Canadian accents > .>

[Oakshield2]

@BobbyCrispy It's the eyes man

[FelipeSolanoD]

@BobbyCrispy jajaja i dont think that :)

[TheJman555ify]

@BobbyCrispy That's what everyone thinks about me by the way i look them in the eyes, my friend's dad thought i was a crack-head (which i don't do drugs either). So what i am saying is it might be the way u look into the camera.( Big fan of urz btw)

[mrcrowley951]

@BobbyCrispy maybe you look a little sleepy,i don't know,but it is funny...

[KakuzuLover1]

@BobbyCrispy chill.....

[penguinpunchu]

[cody2381]

Bobby i've been watching your videos for the last several months i can honestly say you are one of the best teachers on the web. because of you i have refined many of my techniques and they sound so much more clear and crispy (pun intended). i rarely sign in and comment, but you deserve it. i plan to send a donation on your site in the near future when i find employment again! playing guitar helps me through these hard times and because of you it sounds good when i play. THANK YOU

[SAMUEL7SAM]

[whiteboyisaboss]

@djAmericantoast178 lessons literally do nothing they only slow you down... music lessons teach you rules... but there are no rules in music only freedom.

[FreshlyBakedCookies1]

greets from germany

[SoothsayerXAngel]

your incredible bro, never stop making lessons

[mexicodriver]

most comprehensive and easy to follow lesson for this song on youtube, thanks :D

[steveoh2395]

hey how do u play 2 strings at once with out hitting the ones in the middle?

[yeahbabyitslaura]

@steveoh2395 just pluck them with your thumb and index finger at the same time

[Corpsegrinder1712]

@steveoh2395 either what yeahbabyitslaura wrote or by muting the other string by slightly touching the not played strings with the fingers of your left hand (if you play the regular right handed guitar).

Dont push the string down to the fretboard just touch them so that that percussive sound occurs.

But thats just for other songs... Here you really just plug the strings that are played.

[juliope9]

thanks brother...!

[MrGobba123]

epic dude!!!!

[NemoKitt]

thank u!! T_T finally a good teacher bow*

[cheesenoob44]

Are you like always high when you do your videos?

[laughingpickle15]

[Eekhoornpoep]

You are my hero. :D

[tdizzle78611]

[MrStReAkErZzZ]

[Hubbleknarf]

[GmailJMS]

47 people sadly couldn't learn stairway to heaven instead for them it was more like the stairway to hell.

[MartyZANCO]

@GmailJMS HIGHWAY to hell =D

[GmailJMS]

@MartyZANCO close enough lol.

[joaoflor]

I just have one favor, could you plz tell me what strings you played AFTER the C chord, after all the main intro stuff, like on the D chord to Fmaj7, and so on..i can't rly tell what strings your playing from just watching its kinda hard to tell. Plz and thx?(:

[HeCtiCSlaYeRzZ]

[Deceptikon121212]

[ShyeBlooze]

@BobbyCrispy thank you for posting these videos man, your lessons are the things that keep me motivated to keep learning how to play the guitar.

[Cocacola0zero]

I really love this lesson!! ur the best man!

[ShubhamMishra1989]

Hey Bobby how do you save your guitars from dust and stuff. I keep them in guitar covers but still some dust particles manage to get in the guitar covers...Plz help me..

[NTR2DR]

I have picked up and put down the guitar probably half a dozen times in my life. I litterally am the only person in my family that plays something other than guitar. I never learned guitar because the drums were natural for me and the guitar was intimidating. At 42 I am BEGINNING to learn guitar and for the first time I have found someone who does not intimidate me. Thanks Dude beacuse of you I WANT to play guitar. My dad toured with Waylon Jennings, I could never stand his erogance. Nuff said.

[BobbyCrispy]

@NTR2DR that's awesome dude!!! keep it up :-)

[frank1738rhcp]

@NTR2DR

dude ur story is literally exactly the same as mine

literally everything but the age....

[bigbumpo]

@NTR2DR True,I also have musicians in the family who turn in to guitar snobs & make you feel stupid.

[NTR2DR]

@bigbumpo That is so sad. I did not get support with drums either because my folks played country and bluegrass. I was into Zep, Maiden, Crue, Hendrix and the like. They gave me no support. I would work to earn money for new heads and the like, but they would not even take me to the music store because of my choice in music. In spite of them I have become a substantial drummer. Only just this year after playing since I was 4 years old has either of my parents been to one of my gigs. I am now 42.

[bigbumpo]

@NTR2DR Good for you!Better late than never right?

[faen007]

Your the best :)

[Brugar18]

0:21 i have a same metallica poster as you do :D

[mrmolebag]

same time man

[JJJinXXX]

could someone explain the 5th note where there is both a 7 and a 6 in the same place ??? are you supposed to play both notes really quickly or something?

[TheMrfied]

@JJJinXXX you pluck both strings at the same time,whereas the others are individually plucked.If your new to guitar it may take a little time to get the hang of the plucking pattern but if you keep trying it becomes second nature.

[BeveragesAfterNine]

My fingers are too small...

[LaWLF4iL]

are u on crack



[fm15dsp]

perfect lesson bobby your very easy to listen to ,you made this song easy for me to learn thanks alot.

[gosgulu]

Thanks for this video!

[shamantomass]

did a shitty job explaining the finger pickin on the c d and g chords but oh well gotta figure sime shit on our own

[MrDavieeBoy]

bobby much thnx, ur vids help me practice so much and although im just 14 years old I can hopefully be as good as u someday. In the mean time, it would be awesome if you could put some vids up of what I should do when I practice

[YouTellMe20]

really good lesson!

thanks ;)

[ESUHTERiKMiNd714]

I dont know what it is about this guy but hes Cool....

[ESUHTERiKMiNd714]

I dont know what it is about this guy but hes Cool....

[bigandrew1966]

Great lesson bro! I Subbed U. Marty Schwartz used to be my favorite teacher, but I lost all respect for him when he made lesson video on the Jonas Brothers. That's just selling out.

[BobbyCrispy]

@bigandrew1966 The Jonas Brothers?!?!?!

[aglovale123]

@BobbyCrispy I am stuck on the part where you do the first pull off and the plucking because its hard to see which notes you press

the notes on the pull off are diferent to the notes you use with your hand

[wendybird72]

@BobbyCrispy thats my fav band :DDDDDDD

[koolhandvuk]

@bigandrew1966 Mary Schwartz is a douchebag. If he doesn't like your comments he blocks you. So I guess if you're a mindless teenager and love his stuff he'll be your best friend. He crams his DVDs down your throat. AND it's not like they are cheap.

[bigandrew1966]

@koolhandvuk Agreed.

[rmartinez8176]

@koolhandvuk you're the douchebag who thinks all of marty's lessons should be free. if you dont like it go get a job and go pay for some real lessons.

[BobbyCrispy]

@koolhandvuk .....I'm not trying to take anyone's side on this issue, but I make guitar lessons videos because I beleive in free education, ESPECIALLY MUSIC EDUCATION....music is something that should be enjoyed by everyone, and not restricted to people who have money.....

[LinkinParkLyricz]

@BobbyCrispy hell yeah!

[reviewsnake]

@BobbyCrispy lol how can you ot take your side

[clayfandre]

@koolhandvuk Marty has a TON of material online that is completely free. I have learned a lot from him and think he is an excellent teacher. Don't be a hater just because he wants to make a living doing something he loves and sells a few DVDs. Dude needs to put food on the table just like the rest of us.

Why can't we just enjoy all the great teachers out there, including @BobbyCrispy and Marty? What good does it do to bash other people? Grow up a little, would ya?
