Stairway to heaven solo

[icedbananatea]

i remember finding this video when i started playing guitar about 5 years ago and i thought it was the coolest thing, stumbling on this now its still fucking pimp! and to all you guys saying this isn't the "actual solo" ... shut the fuck up, there is nothing wrong with adding your own flavor to a piece of music, it makes your interpretation unique. isn't the point of being a musician to have your own style?

[kajteklondyn]

well done mate! but next time give the name of the song + by "your nickname"...

[RacerDude96]

Dont fuck with classics kids.

[blacknight3097]

this is not copy.  this is cover!! so i like this

[kankanlovers3]

why people hate this so much? even some dumbass said if jimmy see this he will spit in this guy face?....i bet whoever said like that its not even a musician that knows ANYTHING about music or in other word DEAF....i like this,fuck the 297 dislike....I GIVE THUMBS UP AND THIS VIDS ALLREADY ON MY FAV LIST...so fuck em....great job man... :)

[JasonHurlburt]

This sounds like the live version which is way better

[theweenies]

not the real solo anyway, but i love it when a guitar player uses his creativity!

[1000chief]

might not be the REAL stairway to heaven, but it is even better becuas he didnt just copy it he gave it his ow interpration... excelent ! :D

[Mcrod89]

jealous little girls!

[ShadowDante58]

Not really Stairway to Heaven, but a beast improvisation nontheless.

[ScrewAttackChina]

less is more.. that's why jimmy page is who he is

[BloodTar]

Love the improv.

[rocksoul226]

This guy obviously got talent, but the failed at playing titled song.

[DrumCoversandytps]

your playing the same notes but to many hmmers and pulls sounds like you were trying to impress some one

[musclefan101]

No offense man, but if Jimmy Page heard that....HE'D SPIT IN YOUR FACE!!

[exhesham]

i tried to learn it but it is so hard! since it's the solo of the lives of some guitarists, changing it will not be that cool! yes i got the notes but the speed dudes! the speed must be accurate!!i will resume my lessons to learn it although it still hard to me!

[PinkFloydFan1995]

this is a really cool variation of the solo but stick to the original

[MrPeppecaster]

Is it Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin ?

[Loelle80]

isn't Stairway to Heaven, it's Maybe to Heaven

[OmnipotentO]

good solo but not Stairway

[BakZx]

no suena como el solo de stairway to haven ¬¬ nisikiera se parece

[MrJonandhelen]

your timing really bloody sucks kiddo

[musclefan101]

That's not playing the solo...That's just Butchering it!

[musclefan101]

No offense man, but if Jimmy Page ever heard that...HE WOULD SPIT IN YOUR FACE!

[Techno867]

You play this very fast... :( Wrong... -.-

[Awesomealec123]

dude!! come on this isn't fuckin stairway to heaven, this is u thinkin ur badass cause your gonna show off the whole damn time

[GNRnRHCP]

it doesnt sounds like stairway to heaven solo but i liked your improvisation that you involved into the solo

[thegd1000]

asshole wants to show that he can pkay guitar..:-\

i don think it evn snds lyk stairway...:-\

[Iloverockproductions]

To much

[Kataanmonster]

What the fuck is this? I thought it was supposed to be Stairway?

[las10plagas]

the first 5 seconds sounded like stairway to heaven xD

[kalrit]

i dont like this. good playing, but ruins the solo

[Jghydra]

This is what it would sound like if Zakk Wylde covered Zeppelin songs, XD

[darthseb2010]

@Jghydra actually zakk wylde did in fact do a cover of stairway to heaven and he played the exact same jimmy page solo.

[colombobogota]

u have the talent to be great but u dont understand the philosophy what makes this solo great is not the complexity but rather the the atmosphere it creates with these many improvisation you killed the spirit of the solo it almost sounds like something else

[BiboLesPaul]

Nice improvisation

[georabner10]

ok we know your good and your mom can tells you that already so dont try to make it better it only makes it bad but in a good way

[redki2]

good solo but dont try to inprove it its better on its own

[ShadowDante58]

Not going to deny that you played a good solo there, but I think you took away the feel of the original solo. This solo should be kept clean.

[adrielchng]

Total shit...

[xMostValuedPlayerx]

bro, kill yourself. your just wasting bandwidth

[JAThorpe6381]

butcher

[xolilcreight]

horrific

[Saidziri]

The impro was good and spicy.

Perfect!

[ealiagac]

At least, try to improve the song with your improvisations, NOT TO DESTROY IT!

[JimboSlice114]

TERRIBLE

[MrStevecro]

remember, some wise man said it's not the number of notes you cram in, it's knowing what you leave out that makes a great guitarist.... go for feel , not "busy, busy, busy"

Having said that, well done!

Just honest critique from a dude who's old enough to have gone to Led Zep's first Aussie concert

[000Z9A]

fucking awesome dude...

no matter if they say keep it clean just nice done!! everybody is keeping it clean always the same..just boring..

my fav version of the solo :p

[Cuber567]

its not stairways to heaven anymore its now stairways to dumbass

thank you you win the dumbass award

to many tricks keep it clean man

[zeesh181]

good job on the improvise....just uploaded mine ...check it out and comment!!!

[chiminari]

una improvisacion 2,3 pero no va con el ritmo de la cancion

[seemeel]

that was freakin incredible! How did you make the bend with your pinky on the 22nd fret?

[c0ddlefl0p]

@seemeel Ultra light strings probably

[GuitarmanMo]

them vebratos are sexay

[zeppelin1996]

If you wanted to do all that fancy stuff you should have just done an improv over the chord progression. Adding all that extra stuff to the actual solo made it seem like you were just trying to show off.

[gibsonrd1]

nice vibrato

[Junewe]

I give you thumbs up for doing you're own thing out of it. It was great even though I also think it kinda ruined the climax with those extra licks.

[DrewskiSlim]

when is the Stairway to Heaven solo?

[junhinoo]

@DrewskiSlim LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[kathmandoo]

@DrewskiSlim this full of shit!

[dorsalwhistle]

Wow that was shit. It was Stairway not some wanker song

[RealMuchaka]

Whatever other people... Why sit there and note for note everything. I'm pretty sure the guy can play it exactly like Page. Even though you're somewhat of a jukebox by playing covers, you're even more jukebox to not have any creativity and play note for note.

[potaters58]

@RealMuchaka just saying to the other people who dont get it i agree with this comment Even jimmy page changes it up most of the time

[EDSONWARDKOBE]

pero que rayos hiciste con la cancion?

si vas a improvisar hazlo como lo hace el viejo jimmy page no como se te venga en gana no dañes la cancion

[obiwankezoro]

nice job, but follow this title: The Song Remains The Same

[zeppelin1996]

It wasn't all bad, there were a lot of cool licks you put in there, I think at some times though it was just a bit too much.

[SixStringSolid]

fuck the haters man, i liked it.  i can tell you listen to slash by your playing

[MrPurpleguitar]

@SixStringSolid or maybe by looking at the T-shirt?

[SixStringSolid]

@MrPurpleguitar honestly i didnt even notice it lol

[xrlk72]

what the hell was that???

[avw94]

Interesting. The improvisation made the solo resemble one of Page's live performances of the song, and made the cover more interesting than other covers of the soli that are out there.

[w3b5t3rvg]

Pretty good

[madshow2]

Slash's slave !

[giantfugu]

cool! :)

[HeatfieldBRzaum]

Bad.. Too much bad.. Is not the tricks that let the song more good.

[thenotinbrazil]

its cool but very different from the original

[xxqcwaslukxx]

The perfect example on how to ruin one of the best solo of all time.

[daviddpb75]

BAD ASS!!

[agublizzard]

I didnt like ur version but you are very good with the guitar :)

[RockRockling]

YOU, BLEW, MY, MIND, DUDE!

[futebalmakedonia]

Anyone who says he ruined it has no creativity. Therefore they should all stop playing the guitar...

[NextGreatGuitarist]

I like how you made this your own, but how in the hell can you use a pinch harmonic when playing Zeppelin? To me, it is blasphemy.

Either way, it was some really good playing.

[superdanlewis]

BOOOO!

[geekintown]

@Waterman117 you neither, or quit...owned !!!!!!

[nejisan1]

umm that was awsome but u destroyed the stair way to heaven solo

[MrStamino]

i like it alot!!

[yoshtin1013]

you mussed it up

[softwareproduction53]

him is very good , but him put some tricks

[Anrukar97]

hey brother , with much respect, please, STOP IT!!! song destroyer

[swmpert321]

very good but too not led zep

[brabus266]

Stop saying that this is shit..My God ..people ,this is his improvisation ..

[yotam774]

very bad dude

[blitzkreiz]

wow

[dedefoot026]

Nice technic but it's not the original version... ;(

[BggProductions]

Awesome. It's refreshing to hear someone play around with it and not merely mimic the album cut.

[keeganandoliver]

Ok.. A bit to shreddy!

[tMattLZ]

terrible

[wallsacc]

awesome vibrato technique. maybe overdid it just a little but i like that you added a little of your own flair into the song, people who play like robots and clones are boring guitar players

[Vladthedruid]

sick

[WaldoChief]

loooks like someone needs new strings? lol

[FOOFlGHTERS]

You are a great player, improvisation is great

[HuguiniNunes]

Stairway to heaven solo by jono25 @ Slash' style? :p

Not bad, but the original is "untuchouble"!

Really nice, keep rocking \m/

[UnknownGuitarGod]

Your not a bad player. Probably better then me but I have to say I didn't like your tone on this particular video. Keep on rockin!

[jerrykane01]

Dude usually I don't like when people change up solos but I loved ur version of it was awesome

[cygnus2112]

these people have no idea what they're talking about. Dude, you showcased your various guitar influences on one of the most timeless guitar solos ever written and nailed it. You didn't miss a damned beat.

[Loengrind]

cool playing, but too many tricks!

[smoothe14]

I thought it was interesting and it's fun to hear people take masterpieces and add their own flavor. You're getting a like from me... :D

[Kurama024]

umm I dunno about you guys but that was pretty awesome. who cares if it's not played like the original! hell.... people these days dont appreciate the talents of others anymore.

[ShutUpNtellMe]

Nice, nice to see different versions of it, but that was way too "shreddy"

[iamleeboyle]

man! why change whats perfect?!

[RyzakinStereo]

idk what some of you are going on about. You have to give him good credit for putting his own spin on the solo. He's not jimmy page and he's not trying to be. That's what it's all about. Being yourself. Just because it's fast doesn't mean it's not melodic. Because it is very melodic. Good job.

[RyzakinStereo]

idk what the hell some of you are on about....like seriously give this guy some credit for putting his own interpretation on this. He's not jimmy page and he isn't trying to be like him. That is what it's all about. Being yourself. Theres melody in there. Just because its fast doesn't mean it's not melodic. Good Job.

[Orfegas]

it was like showing off your skill and it lost all of it's originality sorry

[narutoguy56]

Ure good but it had too much tricks on it u might as well call stairway to heaven solo improve

[i0hate0this0place]

i felt like you were just showing off

[typlan]

Yeah, this solo isn't about speed or knowing how to hammer on and pull off, It's about the tune and the melody. By speeding up and killing that amazing melody you just ruin the solo. Nice played tho.

[sammybmj25]

samething that danziger81 said.

[danziger81]

You can play, but the changes killed the solo for me.

[ODAHONA]

nice change

[spearcretin]

settle down

[3JrMaD3]

dumbass

[okayGoon333]

cool

[Magicmaker1234]

stop with all the tricks man. The song isnt played that fast, thats why its the most played guitar solo in the entire world. I am impressed with your playing, but the tricks and extra speed killed it

[ARAPOGLOY91]

many tricks = destroy song! try to keep this solo clean without many tricks....

[prmchuk]

@ARAPOGLOY91 lol not even.....he dint destroy teh song...he fkin owned lol.......maybe the tricks u do destroy the song but this guys good.....

[stellaras1995]

liked it

[seb110893]

killed it

[0BostonGeorge0]

good playing though

[maynnor]

too much tricks you killed it man

[0BostonGeorge0]

true..

[mymoobshake]

GOD i aspire to be able to play like that !!! 5 stars :D

[Gehrij]

¨not the original not attempo -.-

[zonker892]

FUCKING SICK!

[Scearus]

Damn, that's some sick shit.

[Moshwell]

it wasnt bad...but you put too much into it. it was already perfect the way it was

[poonkinator]

thats what I'm saying...putting your own twist on a solo is one thing, he went to far here

[bolvack]

wtf you are trying to hard dude....

[thijsspijs]

less is more

[IFreakingEatPeople]

hey bro. dont get me wrong, i liked it. but 1 note played good sounds better than 100 notes played really fast. u got ahead of yourself a little bit. but 5/5 4 the improv

[Felipe7220]

some parts i dont like

[Omgitzmat]

Wow dude your bends are just awesome XD

[Bassman0Nate]

i liked it :D

[TheShadowStrangler]

I'm sorry, the classic's so good that any improvisation based on it sucks compared to it.

[8426560]

everyone saying he did too much is a fag. i'm glad he made this over the top and strives to show off more skill than the original did. you're the ones that are gonna be behind the grill at mcdonalds going, "yeah, going to college and having an actual profession is too much, i'm keepin' it real right were i am" go fall in a tiger pit.

[MrGuitarrica]

Very cool but I think there is just too much =). Just calm down.

[snakkajak]

way to murder it

[farout347]

too much dude

[LPT103]

I like how u put ur own spin on it sounds nice!

[TheSuperYoda]

BAD >:^(

[inquestHELP]

cool improvisation!

[evankiefl]

better than the original

[TheErlendo]

Nice:D

[whoodare]

nice improve, put your own spin on it.

[checkerslob2]

cool guns n roses shirt haha. sick vid too man, keep it up

[ivanmartinso]

its a shit man sorry =/

[petarjovicic]

nice :D

[daoping]

ROCK ON!

[timecleaner]

ROCK ON!

[Felipe7220]

WTF IS BETTER THANT THE ORIGINAL

I CANT BETTER FOR NOW

>:(

you awesome GOOD FU

[asherisgod]

never knew you could play guitar jon... you learn something new everyday lol

[DemianJanssen]

Awesome skills ^^

[forrodstewart]

I wouldnt describe Led Zeppelin as a classic rock band...i think its more a hardrockband...and stairway to heaven is just a great song where you can see that also ROCKERs can be very soft^^

[HmonGLaoster1904]

VERY good

[1957chevy442]

I agree with poonkinator!!! Zeppelin rocks!!!

[greentrol54]

Awesome.You did in a very unique way.

[eddiedeets]

its people like u that make the 80's a disgrace

slash would be well dissapointed of u

1/5

[kylcnkya]

stairway to heaven le alakası yok ama enteresan ve güzel çalmış.

[irnwrkr69]

You would have been perfect for a mid-80's poser band like cinderella...WAY over-doing something that doesn't need to be overdone. What the fuck was that at the 0:14 second mark? BLAH

[futebalmakedonia]

omg he has style, just shows hes human to be creative and it just makes you jealous. there is 100s of videos of perfect stairway covers and only 1 like this. 5/5 *

[krlosvallejogd]

awesome man i want to learn how to improvise my own solos :)

ima good player but no theory any advice?

[spazneckjim]

Fail! Widdling waffling.
