Default Post Your Acoustic Version of the Intro to Stairway....

Stairway to Heaven is supposed to be the most played guitar bit in guitar shops.


Let's hear some of yours - post your acoustic version of just the intro part.

Here's mine:

I thought playing Stairway was against AGF rules. I saw it in the fine print

I've heard tales of people being thrown out of music stores - bodily - for playing that song.

I confess I play it now and again but never in front of anyone and I would never post it.

I admit, once in a while I'll rip through "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", but that's as close as I get.

Fortunately for me, I haven't hung out in enough music stores to have heard Stairway be destroyed. I still love the song and still love noodling with it. Those who I occasionally party with still enjoy it being played, and that's all that matters to me.

People have been arrested (by the Music Police) for just forming that Am shape at the fifth fret. Indeed also playing 'Sweet Child o' Mine' will earn you a mandatory life sentence.
