Learn the intro to "Stairway to Heaven" (guitar lesson w/ tabs)

[@whytoasty5728]

cant wait to play this in a guitar store

[@cmk8477]

@Why Toasty You need to watch Wayne’s World

[@tombo54]

LOL!!

[@twiggyb67]

Then grab the most expensive electric on the rack and do Smoke on the Water.

[@Daniel_Cristyan]

lol

[@alecrosenbergs6840]

I watched this video so I can play it in a guitar store 💀💀💀

[@Sandstorm9562]

I wish every KZbin guitar lesson was broken down and explained like this. The progression from blocked chords to finger picking makes so much sense - once the chord shapes are under your fingers it is much easier to concentrate on the picking patterns. Can't wait to try more of your lessons!!

[@Yakushev15]

Really like this guy's respect for the boring but necessary practice! Practice makes perfect.

[@Rahmeanthony]

The best tutorials on KZbin. I love it how he explains with guides, notes on each chord explanation, and exercises. Thank you David

[@Teeder]

Hi David, I would like to compliment you on your outstanding lesson on the introduction to “Stairway to Heaven”. The essence of great teaching is to put yourself into the shoes of your students. By doing so, you anticipate where they might struggle in the learning process, and you are then able to take extra measures to help them achieve before frustration, anger, or being overwhelmed take over and defeat your entire purpose for teaching the song in the first place! For example, guitar students are keen to learn this great song. You have anticipated parts of the introduction that can really frustrate players of all ages: plenty of barre chords, the quick change to D/F#, the changes in the picking pattern, etc. You have anticipated these potential challenges by suggesting: your lesson on barre chord strengthening, playing and repeating small sections on the introduction, learn the chord shapes vs trying to read confusing tabs, and you reinforced everything you said with chord diagrams, tabs, and a practice/rest schedule to build muscle memory. I have probably forgotten to mention other great teaching strategies that you used, but the point is: you are providing pure teaching gold in this lesson, and I think that you should be commended for your planning, organization, and teaching of a fantastic, first class lesson! It’s a challenging song, and learning it will not be easy, but you have really provided guitar players with the best possible lesson to be successful. Great teaching, David! You knocked this one out of the park, and you made it look so easy. That’s great teaching! Ted

[@jpr4212]

Agree 100% Ted. What a terrific lesson on a pretty tough song.

[@markstacey2906]

This is absolutely the best guitar lesson on KZbin I've ever seen.... Many thanks...

[@Benny_K81]

This is by far the best Stairway To Heaven lesson online. Because you not only show us what and how to play it...you also show how to get there! Top Class

[@garycook3689]

Wonderful lesson. I'm 68 and trying to learn to play. I don't know anyone that plays. I just like to entertain myself. Thanks.

[@GautierGuitar]

This was a fantastic tutorial! I really appreciate the level of clarity/organization that all of your videos possess!

[@junehawes1164]

You are a great teacher thank you

[@shrishtipal6026]

you are hands down the best teacher on KZbin🤗

[@DaveE69]

Amazing! By far the best tutorial I have seen. Started showing my son and he stopped me after the first 4 notes and said “no Stairway”. 12 years old and he already knows! 😂

[@I_0..0_I]

Great teacher and maybe the best lesson on stairway to heaven i have ever seen.

[@dreed47]

Thanks for this. I've been trying to get this intro down for a long time and your approach helped me a ton. I too would LOVE a part 2!!! ?

[@kaield4763]

I never took the time to learn this song and almost all other tutorials shown just the tabs or them playing, you shown all of the shapes and it helped a lot! Good vid

[@ColSeal]

God bless you man. Really, I love this, and I’ve been looking for an easy tutorial, you nailed it! Love ya man!

[@Noctrl100]

I just want to say this is the best guide/explanation I’ve seen. It has helped out so much. Thank you!!!

[@ronniemcveigh6303]

At last a tutorial i can get my head round , from an aged' beginner , love it

[@TooHardToHandle1111]

That was the most amazing tutorial ever… I clicked on three before you but had to get out cause they weren’t explaining as well but u my friend… wow… thank you thank you thank you took me 15 minutes to learn you legend!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gertjankuipers1707]

What a nice, clear way of teaching! Your explanation is encouraging. Thanks a lot!

[@davidbucklew804]

Most excellent!! Love how you use the bar chords also rather then playing in their first position.

[@matinee310]

Jez who the hell needs Marty....this guy is the bomb! Everything he teaches makes you wanna pick up the 🎸 surely this guy needs more recognition as a 👨‍🏫!!!

[@mclaurinisGODsSon2]

Great teacher. This is explained at the least boring , not too fast, level. I can't wait to put his example into practice.

[@averellfreeman9169]

Thanks!

[@johnj.rehder1772]

I really like the way you present this lesson! very instructive and helpful! thanks!

[@TheJunnieboy]

you are the best instructor hands down man THANKS

[@1506phamer]

Hey man, this is an exceptionally good lesson. Your patience and clarity is amazing. Really appreciate this and looking forward to the NEXT part of this - PLEASE!!

[@begelbingo]

Really like what you said at about 3:30, sounds like a practicing slogan. Love it.

[@Themis781]

This is a brilliant lesson. It has totally changed my approach to this song. Everything is so clear now. Thank you :)

[@blacklight4075]

even if you forget the chord shapes, you will always remember the fingerpicking. Thanks for the refresher.

[@Preppygurlysoldejanerio]

great job on the breakdown..really needed your push to get passed the first part 🤘

[@tigertran01]

Finally, after a week my thumb isn't cramping up for these chords. I'm still working on transitioning quickly from Chord #3 -> Chord #4. That's a huge jump!

[@Terneyah]

Wonderful tutorial. What's even better is that you use those graphics (tabs) - makes it all easier while listening and watching your movement. This is how I imagine a perfect tutorial.

[@envy0303]

Dude you are a great teacher I learned this song in a week

[@kevinbajlan1116]

This is the best explains on intro. Thanks. You nailed it.

[@vincentmaynard2305]

[@paulsmart728]

You are an excellent guitar teacher. 👍🏻

[@jonahcorbitt5394]

[@byronconrad6468]

@Byron Conrad instablaster ;)

[@byronconrad6468]

@Royal Kannon I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@charityp.madamba1664]

[@stevejarvis1366]

This really helped my finger picking along a treat

[@markdavis5970]

I love your teaching style David.Im playing this song fairly well now and have been at It for a while now but I give you a lot of credit for getting me where I'm at now.Many thanks.

[@cml513]

I agree with the others, David, best tutorial I've ever watched. Everything about it was superb. Bottom line--can't dumb it down too much for me!

[@ak2010utube]

Great lesson on this classic!! I hope you find time for part II

[@missbknodel]

I know it's a pain but I've got this down, miracles of miracles. I've searched for more and when you're ready, we definitely are too. Respectfully.

[@johnposega5319]

Very well thought out and easy to follow. Emphasizing the chords really simplifies things.

[@scottdelahaye9999]

Well explained, I will refer to you for your tutorial of this classic,

[@StrangeStatHD]

Really good song! Helps a lot.

[@peterels2646]

Thanks Darrel! It’s by far my most requested song, so it’s going to happen - just need to carve out space to properly learn it as it’s such a beast. But it’s coming for sure! Thanks again

[@andrewniven7116]

[@margaretsonia9038]

[@2nsane2005]

Awesome lesson! Best on KZbin. Any chance you can teach the rest of the song? Thanks

[@cheever4242]

[@darrenjs_]

The 44 thumbs downs are from 44 guitar center workers who are like daymit now more people are gonna be playing the forbidden riff in my store!

[@rafaelbacani6296]

veri enlightening lesson..thnx

[@boxghhost]

I have a question. SO when your picking the first three barred chords, are you making sure that your right hand has picked all the correct strings? Or is it strumming them?

[@kylejoshuacuizon6019]

Thank you so much
