Pro tip: don’t learn the whole thing. Learn just the first ten seconds. You will get kicked out of the guitar store if you play it and everybody will think you can play the whole song
As much as this is an annoying song or overplayed song for a lot of people it will always be my favorite and it’s hard for people to remember the true beauty and genius of this masterpiece
Time and repetition has a way of watering something way down. This song is the greatest recorded, solo as well. A true masterpiece and will always stand the test of time.
I’ve put off learning this song for several months until today i finally said, lemme go ahead and learn it. I was able to learn the entire intro in about 20 minutes and figured out the picking pattern by ear. pretty proud of myself and haven’t really realized the amount of progress i’ve made until today. Keep at it guys, soon you’ll be able to play all your favorite songs by ear at some point.
Just want to say thank you! My dad raised me on zeppelin and picked up a guitar recently and feels awesome to be able to play this! Thank you for your time and effort
+Marty Music i didn't knew anything about guitar i have started following you . You really break down the lessons to very basic level so that beginners like us could also learn to play . Thank you so much 👍😀
Woah Marty, you grew old. You know what Marty, Whenever I want to learn a new song *YOU* always pop up everywhere and ofcourse I will click your video because you taught me many things for the last few *YEARS* and you're the only teacher that I trust.You are a legend, I respect that
Just discovered your channel Marty…having so much fun trying to learn these classic songs after picking my guitar back up after many years. Thanks for your excellent teaching style and greetings from the UK 🇬🇧
Marty, you are an awesome guitarist and an amazing guitar instructor. Not many people are able to teach like you do. I just wanted to say I appreciate all you do and Thank you.❤
Wow Marty, you were my first guitar teacher when I was 14, that's 10 Years ago Marty. I've Been playing on and off this whole time and whenever I feel worthless I come back you and what I thought was difficult seems easy. You're the man Marty.
In my country there is a popular saying that says: "Those who know a lot commonly aren't great teachers. Only those who love to teach, are." And this applies to you, Marty. Many thanks for your lessons. I've become a fan. Regards from Portugal.
Lol. Not at all! What it means is that to be a great teacher you need to know how to communicate with people. You can have all the technique but is only the gift of communication that makes a great teacher. Just that. :) And for me, Marty is a great teacher.
@@jct3439 meh. it depends on the skill level of the person learning though. if your already good with knowing the chord shapes and playing finger style, then it can get frustrating to have to watch someone hold your hand note for note.
Where would we be without your fantastic videos. I have watched and learnt so many great riffs thanks to you. You are always the goto when it comes to learning new songs on my guitar. Even all these years later the videos are extremely invaluable
Can I just take a moment to appreciate all the time and effort you spend on your videos everyday??? You are incredible and I just want to thank you so much for everything that you have done... I learn songs way better on your channel!!! I wouldn't of gotten here without your help! Thanks Marty!!!! Keep up the great work!
shaun bose me and my buddy Kyle here... we was hitchhiking down.. the long and lonesome road... all of the sudden.. there shined a shiny demon, in the middle, of the road... AND HE SAID!
My brother Scott told me that he has been following you. And me and him have been trying to one up each other. But he gets mad because he has been only playing for a year now. But I have been playing for 26 years and played WITH the Drummer to blue OSTER COLT and the Bassist from molly Hackett we made a demo together. So I try to tell him how to do it. But he doesn't listen to me. So he will watch your videos and figure it out and its the same way i was showing him. But IT'S the RIGHT way to do it AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR SHOWING HIM THE KNOW HOW'S AND I DON'T HAVE PATIENCE WITH MY BROTHER LOL. I am way head of him and his just leaning. So thank you man I guess you're gonna teach me how to PLAY some licks. Let's do this thing brothera.
I want to give a well deserved shoutout, to Marty Music, for his incredible guitar teaching methods and countless song tutorials. You have helped me develop my style of playing tremendously over the past couple of years, and for that I'm grateful for all of your tutorials. thank you dude. may you continue to keep the rock n roll torch lit for many generations to come.
Not gonna lie this song and your lesson to it is what what started me on my journey to learning to play guitar and I've pretty much picked the guitar up for atleast 5 mins every day since
Honestly, I've been teaching myself as a beginner just from hearing other people playing. But these videos help me out alot. I started playing guitar in May and I've mastered one by metallic, because of this guy. So I GREATLY recommend listening to this guy.
Marty i really need to learn this song iam 53 and my wife is 55 and is dieing for alzhimers and she loves this song I play acoustic but have ing trouble with the AM79 cord is there a simple way to play this song help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there's a website called songsterr that simplifies songs into tabs that are semi accurate go on the PC or laptop version to use it for free, just search stairway to heaven songsterr, and boom. Sorry I'm late but I hope this helps have a nice day.
Marty you’re an absolute legend for what you’re doing here. I was inspired by Jimmy Page to go out and learn to play guitar myself, so I went out and bought one with no prior experience. Without you I would have given up by now. Keep rocking 🤘🏽
I have been listening to this song since I was 10, 1974. I always have the record from LP, Bethamax, cassette, LD, HD and now HP. I never get bored listening to it. Maybe more than 10.000 times. Thanks Marty.
Hey Marty, love your videos! Just wondering if you've thought about adding a tab graphic to the chords you first introduce in your videos- especially if they're not one of the popular open or barre chords. You do a great job of breaking down your fretboard already, but personally I think adding a chord diagram for the lesser known chords would be great way to speed up learning. Thanks Marty!
Mattis Beauchamp can’t you just write a comment like “Marty didn’t show the picking after he said he would”. You can’t make any boring comment interesting by doing the thing with the : *bold insert*

Man... am i glad you did this song.. now!! I’m gonna learn it!! I scrolled thought your play list ? Dint see it .... then it came up on my TH-cam thing! Thanks!!!
Man, so glad you're back, credit to your youtube videos and disc's for teaching me guitar over the last 4+ years! I'm to the point where I think it's cool to add the solos or little runs to songs. Like your "Wish You Were Here" lesson or if you taught the solo on your old Hootie lesson "Let Her Cry". It would be cool if you taught the basic lesson and then added ways to jazz it up at the end. Just a thought! Thanks Man!!!!
Watched this video a year ago, and gave up when seeing the first chords... No matter how hard i tried, i couldn't get the sound out of those barre chords.. Now 1 year later, i was so scared to visit this song again, but now it felt so much easier! Now I'm able to play the whole song, without a problem. So guys! Don't give up on those scary barre chords, no matter how impossible it seems. Just keep playing them even though it sounds like garbage, it will get easier. I promise you. Patience is key. Thanks for this awesome lesson Marty! =)
You're the best teacher Marty! Most of my songs I learned from you... Going to check if you have a lesson on the Rain Song. It was way past my level a few months ago but now I know if I can play this I have a good chance
machusla macfhiodhbhuide ik I've got a seriously memory linked to it. I was always familiar with the song but I just had a whole new love for it after that moment
What a workout for my fingers. Both for chording & for strumming & picking. Just keeping it all straight at first is so frustrating but, this guy is a great teacher
ah, maybe try some easier songs and then come back to this one. That really helped me when I was learning! Thanks for supporting me right here at "MartyMusic" - Thanks for helping spread the word!
sir i cant understand the position of the index finger during those first chords :( i feel joint pain in the index , do you have some advice for half bar chords ? they are killing me more thand the full bar chord:(( oh and by the way ! thank you for everything that you do ! you helm milions of people around the world
I managed to cover 4 strings on a fret at once and still sound good, then I was told to use another finger for something and that was when I started to sound not so good :/
I've been playing guitar for about a month now and trust me if you get your fingers used to playing easier songs that you like you'll be able to do barre chords like in this song. I love this song and wanted to learn it super early but couldn't get the chords down then came back to it after a few weeks and still couldn't. It was frustrating but now i can finally play this like i wanted to. Keep at it I'm sure you can get it with practice!
Just want to say... As a semi-advanced beginner that's working on adding some fun, recognizable songs I love to my repertoire, you have had a tutorial video for almost everything I've wanted to learn so far. I like reading tabs first and trying to figure out the chord progressions, but I love that I can count on you to consistently break them all down in chords and help me confirm/contradict my own assumptions. Excellent tutorials man. I've learned loads from you off just a handful of songs 😁 Thank you!
Thank you Marty Schwartz, Chris Zoupa, and that dude from Lick N' Riff. Because of you (and ultimate guitar occasionally) I've been able to learn lots of songs. Your work will always be appreciated :,)
Marty Music MARTY I HAVE SEEN YOUR VIDEOS SINCE I WAS 13 AND IM 20 NOW. YOU ARE A GREAT GUITARIST AND A TEACHER. I STOPPED WATCHING UR VIDEOS WHEN I WAS 14 BUT I'M STARTING TO WATCHING THEM AGAIN. TIME FLYS!
You could probably learn the chords fairly easily but that picking will be hard, make sure you learn easy open chords too before you do more complicated stuff like this
I mastered this song, here's where I started. 2 years ago. I have come back because I found. Did more research, I'm convinced. Play it backwards, listen to the words, look at the album pictures, make your choice
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I went years without playing guitar and this was one of my favorite and first songs I learned when I was 15 yrs old (now 31). I loved this song so much and I just got a new guitar after years of procrastinating to buy one. This was a great video to refresh my memory on how to play it. Thank you so much!!
Legend has it that if you play this at a guitar store you will unlock a secret employee interaction
AKA getting kicked tf out

Marty Music YOU HAVE REALLY GROWN
Marty Music THE FIRST VIDEO I SAW FROM YOU WAS "ONE" BY METALLICA
Love this song. Never thought I d be able to play it😊 Thank you, Marty!! All the best
I've been playing this for like 40 years....this is by far the best breakdown I've ever seen.
Hey Shad Troeger
Me: Plays this in guitar store
*Gets kicked out*
Me: Comes back with giant amp and plays this in the parking lot of the guitar store on full volume
Then they kick you out of the town.
Hahahahahaha
it’s called stairway to heaven because that’s what you’ll be on if you play it in a guitar store
i made it with only your help!! i feel so happy man! thank you very much, now going for the picking lesson :P
I can play „Stairway to Heaven” quite good, but I’m always watching videos with playing „Stairwar to Heaven”. Love this song.
i have started learning guitar for 3 days now and i want to learn this song this early
You could probably learn the chords fairly easily but that picking will be hard, make sure you learn easy open chords too before you do more complicated stuff like this
you got this!
don't get frustrated though
99% of comments: Can’t play this I guitar stores Me: I can’t play this anywhere cuz I’m not good
Not yet but you will get there with practice
I’ve been playing for a week with a little bit of experience prior and I know all the chords, would this song be good to learn?
Sports Freak anything is good to learn when you’re staring out, good luck👍🏻
legend has it that marty still in the process of posting fingerpicking pattern!
I mastered this song, here's where I started. 2 years ago. I have come back because I found. Did more research, I'm convinced. Play it backwards, listen to the words, look at the album pictures, make your choice
I got blisters on me fingers!!
Mark Campbell mr krabs
Calluses
Wrong song!
2:58 "You can call that A Minor 9 Major 7" I'm just trying to get kicked out of Guitar Center and this dude is over here doing Calculus.
💀
Who’s watching this seven years after Marty started his channel. ?
me lol
Hey thanks Marty.. I can learn it much easier with your video..
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I went years without playing guitar and this was one of my favorite and first songs I learned when I was 15 yrs old (now 31). I loved this song so much and I just got a new guitar after years of procrastinating to buy one. This was a great video to refresh my memory on how to play it. Thank you so much!!
The last of us theme pls
YES!!!
yes please
please
This works with electric guitar too?
Yup! Same concepts and fingerings
Ok thanks!
The live version sounds better on electric, jimmy made some changes to make it sound better since he used an electric for live shows
really love the part where he shows the picking
You made it so easy...don't know if I'm gonna need the second half of the video. Thanks .
Glad I watched anyway..
I cant thank you enough morty even thoug this video is 6 yrs old. Its the best tutorial ive seen so far of this song. THANK YOU✌️🤘
I feel nothing but guilt as I learn this masterpiece ;)
