All of a sudden, I'm loving me some Stairway again. You are a true inspiration to the art of guitar. In my day, way back in 1974, I would sit for hours and play with the phonograph in 16 and a third speed and listen over and over to parts of this masterpiece. It wasn't till tabs came along, did I finally be able to play a proper version. Guys like you make it easy for guys like me to sound professional. Thank you Sped
