Guitar Lesson - Stairway to Heaven (solo) by Led Zep with tabs video

Thank you for making this my most popular video! This solo is relatively straightforward (at least compared to other solos I have done on YouTube), so there is not a lot for me to explain in the video, other than sharing the notes being played and a few tips. However, if you have questions, please let me know and I will try to answer them as time allows. Rock on! Here are the sections of the solo, and where they start.
