One of the most beautiful pieces ive ever heard. Never underestimate just how beautiful classical guitar is. So pretty... Theres a reason why most pieces with classical has no words. And this is the best example
I have to agree and regret to have not found him sooner. Inspired me to finally pick up my guitar and start playing again! I haven't touched it in many years...
This was played at my Brother's funeral, he was a huge Led Zep fan. He'd absolutely love this version, incredible musicianship, the dexterity is just superb. Thank you for sharing ❤
When talent and expertise is at this level that anyone with an ear can appreciate you'd also have to appreciate the expert's interpretation. It's the artist's interpretation that is the enjoyment.
At the guitar center i always go to i was playing it and one of the employees was singing along with me and we attracted a small crowd, so i guess my guitar center doesnt abide by the laws of the universe lol
What a lovely arrangement of a classic rock song. This one actually works. It also makes me understand just how well written Stairway really is. I heard chords and harmony lines I hadn’t heard before.
Man! If I could only play like this! I've been playing guitar for more than 49 years and I play by ear only which means I can play along with songs playing from the radio, cd, youtube or wherever, but I know I will never, no matter how hard I try to be able to play like this man! He is very gifted!
This videos proves the undebatable superiority of classic technique in music. I think it is a valid argument for every instrument: you build for yourself a great classic technique, then you can literally do whatever you want.
There's something beautiful, and very enjoyable about watching someone play an instrument they love. Anyone can pick up a guitar, but very few can pick it up and play it with passion like this. Especially when considering how long hes probably been practicing. Well done and all these years later this man is still in love.
Jeez, you have to admire someone that can just play such a beautiful piece like this... He makes this look so easy... I never get tired of hearing this song in any variation
The way he periodically speeds the song up, makes it a bit slower, adds his own twists makes it probably my favourite version of all, second only to the original
At the end of every junior high dance this was the last song where I could finally get the courage to ask for a dance, Valerie Star - I hope you still remember me and laugh with a little smile.
I've watched/listened to this about 5 or 6 times this evening and come to this lay and subjective conclusion....while Soren is unquestionably masterful, the arrangement of this piece is absolutely sublime!
Sir, as a 45 yr player I have to tell you you have the finest touch on an acoustic guitar I have ever heard. I could put down my Hummingbird and listen to you all day.
I have heard SWH played untold times, and in different ways. This dude adds another level. His pace, and the clarity of the sound helped me to understand why the original composition remains a masterpiece.
The cleanest TH-cam version I’ve heard. Can’t knock on this virtuoso but I was wishing for the solo with split screen rhythm. Only because he is so amazing.
I’ve just ordered the sheet music for this piece. I am an intermediate level classical guitarist who loves Led Zeppelin. This arrangement seems to me like an excellent piece for the intermediate level guitarist because it includes several techniques that need to be mastered at that level such as barre chords, arpeggios, rasguado type strumming etc... It’s so nice to be able to practice these techniques while playing one of the most iconic rock songs on a classical guitar and make it sound so genuine. Truly superb arrangement. The video showing the hand positions and strumming patterns is also extremely well done.
you know all those little adjustments to the original, the ones covers usually make, the ones that bug you..... none here. hats off all those tiny adjustments work towards the adaptation to a spanish acoustic guitar. brilliant version.
Hats off my friend , as a guitarist for 32 years I remember stairway to heaven and smoke on the water being banned from guitar shops ,but stigma aside,I was shocked how much I enjoyed nothing else matters ,basically beautiful take flawlessly executed my friend cheered me up anyway ,have a go at testament the ballad ,I reckon your style of playing would fit nicely with the IINTRO ,I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR TAKE ON IT ANY WAY , I think if u can refresh stairway heaven ,what can u do to something else ,have a look
Great performance. Just great. This man is obviously a highly educated musician. Only educated classic guitar players hold guitar and play in this way. My suggestion - try hear it at 0.85% or 0.9% speed. I'm a fan.
How someone holds the guitar usually has no indication of skill. Holding this style is indicitave of the flamenco style of guitar nothing more nothing less.
@@TheTheRandomShow1234You might be right. But then again, I can probably attach hundreds of video links showing that flamenco guitarists don't hold guitar the way Soren does. Holding a guitar neck to a 45 degrees angle on the left leg (for the right-hand guitar players) is indicative for people who studied guitar at schools/universities. For instance, this is a flamenco guitarist: th-cam.com/video/ARngRnlhzZw/w-d-xo.html ,and this is not: th-cam.com/video/YIGm5-hdl7o/w-d-xo.html - both excellent.
@@011obrad you are definitely correct I when I say flamenco I mean to say someone who Hs studied classical guitar or Spanish guitar they are almost the same and both style are known to hold the instrument at an angle . Do you happen to know why ? Other than comfort I'm guessing?
@@TheTheRandomShow1234 To be perfectly honest - I have no idea why. But my wild guess would be comfort as well (and probably easier touch on the higher notes). I might be wrong though.
agreed. Awesome technique and facility. But yeah, a little rushed. Just because you CAN play it faster doesn't mean that you SHOULD. Could have been a little more contemplative. But man is he good!!
He plays as if hes feeling every note in his soul ❤️. Absolutely amazing My late husband played and his guitars name was " Maria" Thank you for sharing your awesome talent .😃💖
It's crazy how a video like this can both inspire me and make me want to quit guitar at the same time
My feelings exactly
Amen
Exactly why it’s so deadly to compare yourself to others
@@theethinethou exactly this, compare yourself to yourself in the past and you'll have a better time
You got to practice Bros. You think Jimmy Page got where he was without practicing? No Way.
As perfect a cover as I've ever heard ... INCLUDING Jimmy Page !!
As a fellow Danish man this guy makes me feel proud of my country
Not many people will realise this (classical) is the hardest type of guitar to learn, much respect to this guy, he’s awesome!
👏👏👏
What makes it harder tho?@@u02920
But if you learn on classical, it makes all types of guitar easy
And much respect to Jimmy Page
Classical is actually not hard per say, it's being taught How to play it. Every style has its concepts that can be applied accordingly
This is when right hand, left hand, ear and brain all work together to make EPIC music happen!
This man has achieved the divine mastery of Guitar. One of the best wielders of the instrument. Stunning.
Kinda makes you really appreciate the creativeness and talent of Jimmy Page.
The guitar is simply speaking. Incredible
The only thing greater than this performance is the ENVY I'm feeling now.
LOL
His fingers are magic, and his smooth delivery of every note is amazing.
First thought: The last thing the world needs is another stairway to heaven cover.
Second thought: Subscribe to this dude.
One of the most beautiful pieces ive ever heard. Never underestimate just how beautiful classical guitar is. So pretty... Theres a reason why most pieces with classical has no words. And this is the best example
Your right
YES, but.......I kept singing the words in my head as he played.......
Breathtaking - the instrument becomes an extension of the body and doesn’t need to be grabbed or treated harshly.
I don’t know why it took TH-cam 4 years to recommend the best guitar player ever to me... I love you, this is beautiful. Thank you
He plays this so effortlessly... So skillful and a joy to watch and listen to.
I don’t even know what to say….. just beautiful.
Each note he delivers is like traveling though a well spoken story that you never want to end. When it does end you feel the need to listen again
What else can I say that hasn't been said already? Superbly played!
1:14 Probably my favorite cord progression of all time. This song made me pick up the guitar.
GOAT of Guitar intros
This man has to be one of the best guitarists i have ever seen. Absolutely insane! Liked and subbed.
Thank you.
it was tooooo fucking fast bro did you ever hear the song?
@@emilpoulsen830 Wromh chords, too.

In Guitar Center they let this guy play Stairway...
New Spin Party on...
No denying that...
That was all i could think the whole time! Hahaha
Hopefully after September We can really find out if it's aloud . But you can play Highway to Hell. 😃
At the guitar center i always go to i was playing it and one of the employees was singing along with me and we attracted a small crowd, so i guess my guitar center doesnt abide by the laws of the universe lol
ow can a person dislike a genius like that? A god with your guitar, they don´t play, they talk to ours souls.
This mans timing and frazing are from the gods, he has teqniq that can only be dreamed of.
What a lovely arrangement of a classic rock song. This one actually works.
It also makes me understand just how well written Stairway really is. I heard chords and harmony lines I hadn’t heard before.

Had a pretty rough few weeks and this made life just that little bit better for a while, thank you.
Not alone, 7 billion more of you...., not alone🌹

he doesnt just make that guitar talk ,he's translating it into 400 languages simultaneously and perfectly
It brings a tear to my eyes that I'll never that good on my guitars.
Jeez, you have to admire someone that can just play such a beautiful piece like this... He makes this look so easy... I never get tired of hearing this song in any variation
Same
Sign of a true master....making the very difficult seem easy
The way he periodically speeds the song up, makes it a bit slower, adds his own twists makes it probably my favourite version of all, second only to the original
A great classical heavy metal masterpiece played by a classical guitar master. Just astounding !!!
I love to hear Soren playing Led Zeppelin's The rain song
This song was written to be played like this. Perfection
Absolutely!
At the end of every junior high dance this was the last song where I could finally get the courage to ask for a dance, Valerie Star - I hope you still remember me and laugh with a little smile.
I've watched/listened to this about 5 or 6 times this evening and come to this lay and subjective conclusion....while Soren is unquestionably masterful, the arrangement of this piece is absolutely sublime!
No slips. I agree
Sofisticated guitar at its best !
Purity of the utmost eloquence of melody and harmony naturally resonates the heavens of angelic bliss here in and forever quaint !!!!!
the best guitar performance I've ever heard! Just great!
Sir, as a 45 yr player I have to tell you you have the finest touch on an acoustic guitar I have ever heard. I could put down my Hummingbird and listen to you all day.
Flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on. What a line.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Would love to see it played live. Thank you for sharing.
BRILLIANT again. !! powerful fingers deliver precise tone here.
this man is one of the very few allowed to play this piece also in a shop.
Outstanding! The passion when he playing is just amazing!
No more words than all my respect for you, Mr. Madsen.
I have heard SWH played untold times, and in different ways. This dude adds another level. His pace, and the clarity of the sound helped me to understand why the original composition remains a masterpiece.
This man makes the guitar 🎸 sing WOW 🎉
The cleanest TH-cam version I’ve heard. Can’t knock on this virtuoso but I was wishing for the solo with split screen rhythm. Only because he is so amazing.
I love how clean is his technique. No scraping of strings.
wel a few times😜 but yeah very clean!!!
Bravo!....excellent interpretation... and it is astonishing the mastery of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, to have composed a timeless masterpiece.
I'm at a loss for words.
Beautiful.
My guitar must be broken, it doesn't do this. Think I'll take it back.
Chance_the_Fapper right! Same with mine.
hahahahahaha
heheh! Good one!!!
Mi guitarra hace el mejor intento por sonar como Mr Madsen, pero no suena igual
Original
This guy did a wonderful job. Thanks for sharing

Try playing on twelve string! I tried, I failed.
No one is as good as this. No one. This is by far the perfection no one will be able to play.
So clean performance, I love it very much. Thank you
Great kitchen music!
Not a tune I care to hear terribly much as a former guitarist. But his performance has convinced me otherwise. Bravo.👏👏👏👏👏
you know all those little adjustments to the original, the ones covers usually make, the ones that bug you..... none here. hats off all those tiny adjustments work towards the adaptation to a spanish acoustic guitar. brilliant version.
100% agree. Most of the time those little adjustments irritate me to no end, but this sounds absolutely perfect
I don't play, I know squat but this mans channel is incredible.
Amazing, and very beautiful
Wow! Plays the melody and vocal notes together!! Epic
The way Jimmy spiced up this song live was genius.
So True! The Live versions are EPIC!
Hats off my friend , as a guitarist for 32 years I remember stairway to heaven and smoke on the water being banned from guitar shops ,but stigma aside,I was shocked how much I enjoyed nothing else matters ,basically beautiful take flawlessly executed my friend cheered me up anyway ,have a go at testament the ballad ,I reckon your style of playing would fit nicely with the IINTRO ,I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR TAKE ON IT ANY WAY , I think if u can refresh stairway heaven ,what can u do to something else ,have a look
That was very beautiful
thank you Sir for opening my eyes.. i'm trying flute now
Adi Pardita make sure to inhale with nose to avoid a teabagging effect.
As a Zeppelin fan, you did the song justice. Well done sir.
I would love to see him to play an electric guitar. In any case he is just GREAT!
I'm from Brazil and I love it...
I thought...no...not the song everyone plays but ...WOW!! I've never heard it played like this!!! Fantastic!!...gotta hear that again👍
A man of age who gets it!!
Спасибо!
Очень красиво!
Легенда рока
Сыграно буд-то с имитацией вокала Планта👍
I can only guess Jimmy Page would be very proud of your inspiring interpretative performance of this masterpiece...
So incredibly good, it opened my heart right up and made me feel better. Thank you.
This man my friends is what you call a master.
only 1 word ... AWESOME
Thank you, Saurabh.

Just goes to show you're never too old to be a demon on the guitar. Great stuff. Thanks.
Love this, love your playing. So much I purchased the sheet music (plus a few others!) Thank you!
Thank you, Richard.
After 18 years I feel like playing again. I don't know now if I will, but thank you Maestro.
Must be such a wonderful feeling to be able to perform pieces like that so wonderfully on classical guitar . Thank you .
Great music
