Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven" video lesson
Go to part 2 3

This rock anthem is not only a cool song - it is also a fantastic etude on fingerpicking! It has everything: tension chords, chromatic baseline, chord top notes with melodic movement etc.

If you don't understand what all this means don't worry - even without knowing one word of theory you will get a lot out of this tune.

As always with fingerpicking - make sure each finger of the right hand has it's "assigned" finger.
