Stairway to Heaven Solo Backing Track [Extended]

[@TheAndersops]

Valeu patrão

[@tonyspro]

Shoutout to the rest of Led Zeppelin playing this over and over while Jimmy soloed for 20 minutes

[@varan9595]

Jimmy gives no fucks

[@pranjalswarup8621]

hahhaha x'D

[@jeremyrosenberger3002]

Mysterious Internet Guy shoutout to Robert for dancing around for 20 minutes with as little awkwardness as he could manage and still being able to come in with “and as we wind on down the road...” when he gets the cue

[@dgoat8586]

GPEROISANDIISANDISIANDISANDIS

[@Joe_Dominates]

@@jeremyrosenberger3002 nothing awkward about shaking a tambourine with girls' jeans on

[@wyattwilliams1612]

Doing this song for my high school band. Little do they know, I'll be going true 70's guitar god and will solo for as long as I want, and that very well might be till the end of time....

[@wesleybaker6618]

Wyatt Williams what happened at the performance?

[@robertjohnson4957]

Legend has it, he’s still soloing to this very day.

[@Ae0liann]

How’s the solo going mate?

[@K.Jerico]

According to rumours the vocalist is still dancing awkwardly with his tambourine.

[@ThomasBartolotti]

hell yeah

[@pendchode]

Also a good way to see how Bonzo could play over like a 100 fills without repeating himself

[@jquinnwilson]

I agree with this whole heartedly. I love shredding, I love Paul Gilbert style guitar playing, but after recently listening to Clapton's From the Cradle album, I've really come to appreciate the timing and note selection and vibrato used by players like Eric. So unbelievably tasteful and perfect. That's the real playing.

Asciiii

[@BloodRedSunset]

As they should!

[@mauitingles1930]

This and All Along the Watchtower are, in my opinion, the best solo backing tracks of all time.

[@datboi9928]

They are similar

[@adamsteiner7352]

same chords

[@jumphawk8836]

I improvised to this for seven minutes and I think I felt like a god for seven minutes

[@cisseusa123]

The "Hotel California" solo is number one, in my opinion. The progression, the variety, the dual guitars, the SOUL, and the atmosphere the song provides. Just amazing.

[@siggyretburns7523]

Right you are when you say opinion. Music is subjective. There is no "This is better than that". Different strokes for different folks. I get tired of hearing people argue over that kinda shit, know what I mean?

[@arirose-white2002]

Thanks dude!!!!! Now I can pretend to be a badass in my room.

[@johnny22o58]

Ari Rose-White lol same

[@swatisquantum]

Lol got the headphones on in my own world and my body feels like an acoustic speaker. This goes harddddd!

[@krystalpeake4576]

my family just listened to this entire thing coming up with new lyrics that rhyme with “and as we wind on down the road” it may have possibly been the best (or worst) seven minutes of my life

[@brostoevsky22]

This track is excellent! A good jam for improvising solos using the scales and patterns in know. Thanks a million!

[@mindartis4081]

Thanks for putting this together. My fingers are shredded and I don't sound anything as good as Page.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

SAME MAN SAME

[@TomCoppell]

Same, i so wish I could solo like page.

[@rksguit]

This is the exact section from Song Remains The Same that blew my little kids mind at 13 in a foreign country that played STEREO FM Radio....Life Changer!

[@BeatSyncBytes]

This must be here for eternity Best thing ever Very trippy stuff indeed

[@1986nesha]

comfortably numb is the best solo of all times... as for stairway, the climax of the song is different than for comfortably numb. With comfortably numb you have a song that creates the same feeling of"numbness"during the whole song and solo is just continuation without words. And stairway to heaven goes pretty slow and at the end you have this explosive solo and lyrics at the end when the song reaches climax.Comfortably numb is different because it can last forever in that manner,it has no end.

[@Funguspower2]

I couldnt even try to cover this solo yet, but just strumming out notes was fun to this, thanks for posting :)

[@EladioTalio]

Absolutely brilliant. I just rocked so fucking hard to this with my sg... thank you my, my fellow rocker, for uploading

[@FalseAlarm100]

this now my new favorite backing track ever, it just work so well with my style of playing

[@jacklewisguitar]

Actually, it can be said about the sultans solo. The majority of it is in the pentatonic scale, with the addition of the D Dorian scale over the C chord in the sequence. It turns out that Knopfler is basically, in essence, doing what Jimmy did for Stairway, targeting notes in his solos that work with the sequence.

[@1986nesha]

I agree with this, the level of quality for a good solo is way better and bigger in comfortably numb and stairway to heaven than for free bird and sultans of swing. Do not get me wrong, i love both of those songs especially sultans, but pink floyd and led zeppelin are on a different level. It is not necessary for a solo to last long in order to be good, sometimes you can just hit 2 or 3 notes and they will do the job perfectly. It is about the feeling how much is needed in that moment.

[@ptkstefano]

Its something you can't describe, the way you handle it, the way it feels when you play are the differences, you simply get the passion for one or another ;)

[@a7xplays]

The best backing track on the universe, thank you very much!

[@maxman2324]

the first thing i did with my new Gibson SG standard is jamming this track! can't get enough of it

[@jorgerosariocruz]

did I just solo for 7 minutes straight right now?

[@PickDish]

i feel you

[@MegaIpod12]

And it feels good man

[@brucewayne2184]

No

[@hotlemongingerhoney7759]

Thank you for this ❤

[@jammibeats4557]

thank u for helping me practice this its sick

[@TarikFayad]

Really fun to jam to. Thank you for putting this together!!!

[@abcdofc]

Perfect for practicing soloing, thanks :)

[@tokyopulis]

thank god! i've been looking for this!

[@Satch7699]

So fun to practice to. Thank you. Best Backing track on the interwebs.

[@SethHack]

I also think it's cool stuff. I think theory is incredibly fun to study. I know the basic scales except the locrian scale. When I play in a certain key I go through all the positions to see where all the other scales are. I'm pretty new to theory, but i enjoy every second of it, because I know it will improve my playing. :) cheers

[@Jivesey1]

It's A Aolian. Chords Am G and F. Jimmy played it in A minor pentatonic with the added F to accompany the respective chord.

[@Hyperbion7]

I have found over the years that a what shows even greater skill than being able to play for a long time (though consistency is something ver important, also), is knowing when to end your solo. A solo is telling a story and if a musician can tell an amazing story in 24 bars why play for longer? The dictionary isn't a better book than Of mice and Men simply because it's about 50 times longer ;D. Don't get me wrong though, I do thing "Comfortably Numb" is probably one of the most amazing and emot-

[@tusharkharya7821]

These 7 mins get over so fast!! 😫😫😫

[@dominikklenovsky5752]

Přesně stejný zvuk při rozjezdu i při brždění mají Brněnské T6A5 evidenční čísla od 1201 do 1220+ Pražská T6A5 1231+1232 (po GO na Brněnskou). Ještě máme u nás v Brně Pražské T6A5, které mají Pražský zvuk.

[@MrPiccoloFan]

Enough time to do an improvisation of Stairway to Heaven, All Along the Watchtower and Live Forever solos haha

[@sharmashaun]

thanks! a much needed track for improvising :)

[@MagieChristianLabbe]

Super cool backtrack, very usefull, thanks.

[@52gt]

This is great. Anything you Clapton or just blues you can do would be fine to me.

[@solocaptain6859]

Как можно не любить рок, люди вы же понимаете о чем я... Эта музыка просто душа

[@josedanielayala8006]

Thanks. Now I can improvise without any problem of being out of base 😂😅

[@YannSelka]

Hey, great work you've done! Can you do one for Hotel California? I always find the original solo too short, it just could go on for years... :D

[@ptkstefano]

I actually had one, but it got removed and they removed a lot of rights from my channel.

[@YannSelka]

PSPbrtag oh, Ok thanks

[@Skatino69]

PSPbrtag can you upload it on mega or dropbox ? :(

[@ptkstefano]

Faustin Vaillant I don't have it anymore, it's been some years, but it was just a video version with this backing track solo only. www.guitarbackingtrack.com/play/eagles,_the/hotel_california_(3).htm

[@Skatino69]

PSPbrtag Okay, thanks :)

[@ptkstefano]

I agree with you, but saying like this, looks like you never heard Jimmy Page playing this live, look, here on youtube, for the solos he made in Earls Court (1975) and the one from "The Song Remains the Same" DVD, these are just priceless and i think no other solo will ever reach their level. Besides Confortably Numb. I find out that the "Free Bird" and "Sultans of Swing" solos are just a bunch of pentatonic notes throwed into the song, they are great, but still dont have that incredible soul.

[@babscabs1987]

on of the best backing tracks ive heard. but i must say i was a tad disapointed not to break into the "And as we wind on down the road..." riff with vocals and the outro solo finishing with ".....and she's buying the stairway...." but i might be acting spoilt. good job my man! is there a chance you could do something similar for "Ten Years Gone"? That is probably my favorite Led Zep solo.

[@Bilbobaginz]

awesome man, this is great! nice work

[@jeandelariboisiere9038]

Coule listen this backing track for hours so much melancholy the beauty of those chords

[@dwarfie93]

The main difference is the output volume You can get alot moore "umph" from a gibson then a fender strat, because the output is louder, and therefore will increase the gain. Except from that, the strat has a very nice clean plucky sound, while most of the gibsons have a rounder and heavier sound. Hope that helps :)

[@StaffSergeantPepper]

Fender: 3 single coil pickups, they sound very vibrant(couple it with an echo effect and its great) and are almost always have a whammy bar standard issue Gibson: USUALY just 2 humbuckers with a more deep sound that make great rythm as well as lead, louder, can be a good crunchy sound. Both sound great on distortion, but gibson les pauls have the looks as well as the sustain, fenders are slightly more ergonomic

[@turockandar]

I will attempt a reply; feel wise the Strat has a longer scale length therefore more of a stretch bt notes but ergonomically is lighter and fits into the human body better with its contours and has a whammy bar with which you can get a lot of interesting effects. The sound of a Strat can be either clean and crystal-ike (dire Straits) or deep wolf sounding clean like some bluesmen like Steve Ray Vaughan or with distortion it has a very aggressive edge (Hendrix, Malmsteen) it is very versatile!

[@turockandar]

Last thoughts are once you have worked out which is your type of guitar mainly practise on it and do not change back and fourth all the time cause that decreases your efficiency...but do play the other from time to time to keep the feel of it in your fingers....different songs call for a different sound (comfortably numb, Sultans of Swing and Hendrix need a Strat) a Strat, Stairway to Heaven, all right now, slash solos and lots of early blues a Les Paul...so all the best and enjoy:)

[@1606gturbo]

Thank you so much .....having so much fun!

[@TRAVISLANE6]

awsome job thanks for the track ! mastered the solo

[@kevinmiller124]

maybe i can help you out. one of the huge differences between a strat and a les paul are the pickups. strats have single coil and les pauls have humbucker pickups. due to this, strats are alot cleaner than les pauls are and are not as loud. On the other hand, les paul are a little more hot sounding and a little louder than strats are, which is why so many rock guitarists use them. Both guitars are great though and whatever you think sounds best and feels best is what you should play

[@EdgrCL]

Justo lo que buscaba! gracias

[@maxman2324]

the neck, pickups, wood, style and feel.. fender and gibson got many kinds of guitars but they each got a unique sound.. if i had to describe it, i would say fender got more of an acoustic sound then gibson.. but don't rely on my word because im an Ibanez and Gibson SG owner! rarely play a fender

[@dwarfie93]

Thank you! gr8 idea to extend this!

[@codythedoggo7671]

Thanks man this helps me improvise a lot

[@latenight811]

Real Chord sequence is: Am - Am/G - Am/F (which can be seen as Fmaj7, well its an Fmaj7 but sounds better with 5º String mutted).

[@davidferrara1105]

no it's not. I've been playing this since it came out

[@CrazyDave408]

A fender strat is thinner and lighter than a Les Paul, and the tone shows. I own both a strat (not a Fender, a copy) and a LP (again, copy lol), and the strat is a much thinner, ice picky kind of sound. It really chimes on clean settings, and wails on slightly distorted settings (you have to be careful with distortion on a fender, single coil pickups get VERY noisy with gain). The LP on the other hand takes care of gain like a champ. The differences are best heard if you play each and listen.

[@yukonmike66]

Awesome backing track!!!

[@Alzrad]

Thank you brother!

[@superhacker35]

speaking of jimmy page. seen his solo in "dazed and confused" ? next to this/confortably numb/etc. its one of the greatest solo's ever. :D

[@zrizzrall]

Hello! ;) This one is Awesome!! Can you please make an extended solo backing track for White Room by Cream? Thanks ;)

[@rsvette123]

Awesome subscribed - thank you

[@MitjaShi]

actually the chords are Am, Am/G and Fmaj7. Those chords you named apply to the outro with vocals =)

[@Hendrix.]

Awesome to jamm to..Thanks !

[@TikTokYtEmpire]

the best shit ever soloed for 7 min strait

[@turockandar]

Yes your point is well taken however hard to think of a solos directly reflective of the pentatonic minor scale than Stairway...the start almost is a direct descent:)

[@iwivera]

Very useful, thanks.

[@marciotartariguitar]

Beautiful!!! Thanks!

[@MrDalibor34]

Thanks man!

[@bamblejam]

Hi there, can you please do a extended solo backing track for Scar Tissue by Red Hot Chilli Peppers please? (:

[@achimkoenig]

Played over this 100+ hours

Great backing track! Thank you!

[@sledog26]

right on man that would be way cool

[@suqies]

A-MIN, A-MIN7, FMAJ7--what does he play after that, think its just the notes to the chords right?

[@spoofyshamrock]

Nice jamtrack!!! would you like to do Dream Theater Hollow Years? (Budokan version) thanx :)

[@Lehrerkatzelaptop]

man i just exploded on this like on comfortably numb

[@oneofthemodels]

nice job!

[@meandmydevilblues]

Perfect, now I can butcher it for even longer!

[@Kusmanex]

Could you do backing track of Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the Moonlight. I would really appreciate it!

[@sandeepsreehari9188]

Dancing with the Moonlit Knight is an amazing song. Even I would like to request for that song's backing track. And the Musical Box also.

[@KenBrutal15]

thank you man, beautiful song (Y)

[@One1Reef]

When I think of Sultans of Swing, I throw Pettys 'Running Down a Dream' in that category. Long and catchy.

[@sledog26]

Nothing Else Matters, Alive by Pearl Jam, and Hotel California are some of my favorites to play lead over but they would be sooo much better if you could extend the solo part. especially nothing else matters its way too short to get a good practice sesh in

[@SourDee69]

Dude, it's not just those two; you can use all of the modes man, D Dorian, C Ionian, and so on.

[@a7xplays]

Man, can U do of Hey Joe by Jimmy Hendrix and Another brick in the wall please?? tnk's

[@Roberts536]

Les Pauls are generally easier to bend on than strats although the space between the string is farther apart. The pickups are humbuckers so les pauls will also sound a bit 'fatter.' You have to try them out really, every guitar is different and has its own merits

[@SethHack]

A minor, and E Phrygian. Am i right?

[@mitococh]

Hi!!! What kind and how many stuments do you use in this backing track???? thank you ;)

[@Drunrealer]

Use this for practicing drums

[@stripedstrings]

is this a little faster than the origional? it doesn't matter it's probably good practice!

[@sledog26]

all you need is the pentatonic... and if you have any sort of ear for music you can find variations that sound good. theres no reason you should have to apply some crazy ass scale that you learned you'll end up over thinking it

[@swatisquantum]

This goes HARDDDDDD

[@turockandar]

It is 'bellied' like a violin meaning that top rises up slightly towards the middle like a violin. As you know both the Start and the Les Paul are the like the Rolls Royce and the cadillac of guitars; both mythological but very different. Try out a Les Paul and see how it feels most people fall into one camp or the other but no serious guitar collection is complete without one of each...I have threee Les Pauls, one PRS (close to an LP) and one great Strat relic when I need that sound.

[@larryherbert4317]

love it ! thanks..

[@xrhstspapas3711]

Thank you mate

[@o_solovio]

Thank you!

[@sledog26]

i've only ever played a fender strat and i was wondering what some of the major differences there were between a fender and a gibson

[@jakobkrajnc2725]

i don't even know music theory but still jammed the fuck of my guitar
