I'm not a guitar player but I'm a player, (anything tuned in perfect 5th's) and someone many years back gave me a CD of Rodrigo y Gabriela and it had Stairway to Heaven on it. In the last 8 maybe 10 years I have listened again and again, and then over and over to the way the two work at the melting point of notes mixed and matched into one song being alive by two guitar player that understand that "it's all about the people listening" that make you great and maybe make you a little money. I first think Rodrigo is the best, and then I think, no - no it's really Gabriela that pulls the meat out of the fire before it's burnt. For some years now, just for myself, I listen and think about their selection, the timing, the way they sometimes pile one note on top of another note before the first one is totally clear and love the sound coming at me. They have a sound truly their own and it serves them well. I thank you R y G for the years of practice to learn your own way of playing, blessings ℗.
This is two souls who are in complete harmony with each other, with the chemistry of the two to create such beautiful music together, and it's amazing and I don't think how complex and hard this is to find between people, look you can say a singer is the main part of the band, the face of a band. The fact is for Nirvana example and Led Zeppelin it's not just one member of what makes this music stand the test of time, it is the chemistry and harmony of the souls that are playing together in a way that is un explainable and without all of the members such as with Rodrigo and Gabriel that all of them together is what makes the unforgettable music that stands the test of time possible NOT JUST ONE OF THEM. Yes one might have more influence in it then the others but it is NEVER JUST THE ONE PERSON it's all of them together what makes this music unforgettable and make it never die, or be forgotten.
I am an American guitar player, and I can play that song note for note....you both have raised it to a level that to me is incredible! I salute you! wonderful!
The Latin twist in this version is unique and recharges this classic song for more generations. The skill, love, and attention to detail these two bring forward is a complete homage to iconic music.
Just been to the gig at Brixton Academy where Rodrigo played the first 2 bars of this number, got massive applause, and then moved on! Absolutely brilliant gig, but just had to listen to this when I got home. Brilliant night. See them live if they play near you, they're brilliant.
I normally do not like covers of Stairway, guess I've just heard it done to many times. But I must say this one is very very good. Really fond of the arrangement, damn good job!

It's a matter of shame that people are even comparing Page to THEM. I personally like this sound very much but one who can rightly appreciate music won't compare the worshipper and the worshipped. These two have an immense love for the song and have hence decided to cover it with their own interpretation and feel. It's completely wrong to mix the two and blatantly, thoughtlessly claim their superiority over one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
How sad it is that when master like this play the director has to ruin it my trying to show his lack of laent changein camera angles every 3 seconds whn all you really want to see it the artist and their hands move

Esto es lo mejor que he visto de Rodrigo y Gabriela. Este género les sienta muy bien, y se nota que en un repertorio de éste tipo se sienten muy cómodos. Yo loa pondría a la par y a nivel de ensambles como Apocalíptica. Muy muy bueno! (y)
saw them three times live already and I MUST say that they are absolutely mindblowing live and their new songs are more towards metal which is even better! cheers from belgium
Nada más lindo que gozar y viajar a distintas sensaciones ,distintos mundos ,sin criticar ,ni dar otro punto de vista más que el de quedar lleno del alma con escuchar tanta vida. Como la música es.
Since years I come regularly here, twice a year or so. I can't stop listening. Cool music. Pity that they tour so little. They are fabulous when live, they love and life their music.
This is amazing!!! Its a completely different style, but they still managed to the convey that feeling of mystique in the original. To each his own, music is heard differently by everybody, but this is just incredible. I was smiling the whole time!
I thought I was sick to death of this song, but in their hands it became something completely new and amazing. Incredible! I hope I get the chance to see them live some day!
I have seen hundreds of "guitar "plyers in my life "time," and I beleave I have just witnessed "THEE TWO BEST ACUISTIC GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL "TIME" !!!!!!!!!!!!
it's videos like this that make me put my guitar down for a month at a time. i mean, what am i supposed to do after watching this? gabriella, i heart you....
Heard this on Sirus, The Coffee House, today and had to leave the car before it finished so looked here. At first I didn't like it - Killing a great song. But after the first minute I realized I really did like it - very much. They remained true to Stairway To Heaven yet took the song and made it their own. A class balancing act. I'll definitely be forwarding this link to some guitarists I know. Now to find it online for purchase...

Still listening to this after 10 years :)
First seen them at v festival 2007 , still love their stuff
I've heard (too) many covers of this classic over the years. Just happened on this...Phenomenal!
I am an American guitar player, and I can play that song note for note....you both have raised it to a level that to me is incredible! I salute you! wonderful!
I could listen to this pair play guitar all day, all week long...they are that good.
The Latin twist in this version is unique and recharges this classic song for more generations. The skill, love, and attention to detail these two bring forward is a complete homage to iconic music.
It is not a latin rhythm, is a Spanish rhythm
I just love the way they look at each other, and immediately, they're perfectly in sync.
Absolutely stunning, always brings a tear to my eye to hear them play.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard
This is absolutely an awesome acoustical rendition, with great emotion and expression. These two just rock together! Great video, thanks for posting.
That's one of the most beautiful versions of that classic I've ever heard.
how could you dislike this? Very skilled musicians playing their hearts out
OMG, 12 million views and posted 10 years ago - I have got to get out more. Fabulous rendition of a timeless classic!
Yes...and here I am 5 years later still thinking the same darn thing.
larmes aux yeux.....
magnifique
encore et encore

Sadly and incredibly these two are still vastly unknown in their home country
Martin Brizuela I know them.Everyone else will follow in due course.
+Martin Brizuela I don't know where you think they're from , but they're famous as hell in Mexico dude
+Martin Brizuela Ningun es profeta en su tierra natal
Wow I really love their reinterpretation of the guitar solo!
sharperguy invitation to look at my version of stairway to heaven on tapping !
more than 19000 view . thank !! and thank to stanley jordan to give inspiration !
This is my favorite rendition of stairway to heaven by far. Truely stunning!
questo arrangiamento è fantastico!
As a Led Zep fan and a fan of music, I have to say this is great!
Just a question, the 1.420 people who don´t like this are incredible talented musicians or don´t like music? For me that cover is awesome!!!!
easily one of the greatest covers of this song I've ever heard.
Jimmy page should envy these two! Better than original and not even a big name duet, these deserve more popularity and fans because this is real music

***** Totally with you on this one!

Just Breathtaking ! sounds like music from another Planes of Existence
Yes.... you got it.. were you able to hear the lyrics.... The song in one mind ......nice.. thu
the greatest cover of all times.immense respect to you guys
I actually thought I could play guitar until I saw this :)
Ikr!
superbe !!!!
the best
They are great , but this song is suppose to be simply played, not complicated, so your mind can wonder.
Arkman Is that your expert opinion?
+Arkman rod's picking his way through some A minor arpeggios. what's your problem
Rodrigo y Mariela gracias JESS de haber hecho acordar!! te quiero!
Jimmy Page should know this cover!
I believe he does - I read that it was his favourite cover...
Simon Mawson Thank you for this answer. Take care.
then again, Jimmy Page's version is a cover of the song "taurus" amirite?
Thomas Noonan Jimmy Page stole a lot of tunes from other musicians. You are right, Stairway to Heaven sounds a lot like Taurus from the band Spirit!
Skodaman2 Funny comment :-)
JIMMY WOULD BE PROUD
Would be?
How sad it is that when master like this play the director has to ruin it my trying to show his lack of laent changein camera angles every 3 seconds whn all you really want to see it the artist and their hands move
Esto es lo mejor que he visto de Rodrigo y Gabriela. Este género les sienta muy bien, y se nota que en un repertorio de éste tipo se sienten muy cómodos. Yo loa pondría a la par y a nivel de ensambles como Apocalíptica. Muy muy bueno! (y)
So who disliked this video?!
Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin are the only ones who should. And that would be jealous of these two.
haters be like that quallity sucks, lets give'em thumbs down with all my 10 accounts
I am never disappointed when these two people cover a classic. Love it!
I am impressed. I can obviously say that I really enjoyed this classical flamenco style of Stairway. Simply magical
One of my favorite songs ever !
The tune, the guitars, the love story… some people are really lucky!
Stunning rendition. Can't say more... Simply Stunning
This version of Stairway To Heaven is great. The guitars have a beautiful sound, and Rodrigo and Gabriella sure make beautiful music on them. Bravo!
This is so eye-wateringly, brain-meltingly, finger-achingly, earth-shatteringly immense.
Absolutely breathtaking! These two are amazing!
saw them three times live already and I MUST say that they are absolutely mindblowing live and their new songs are more towards metal which is even better!
cheers from belgium
These guys put on an awesome show! Wish I could see them again...
Please come to Australia, so that I can see perfection up close... Fantastic rendition!!!
Surely some of the most inspiring guitar playing ever...
Siempre me encanta escuchar a Rodrigo y Gabriela, esa chica tiene manos rápidas de la guitarra!
Todo lo mejor para ti y los tuyos,
Steve en Irlanda.
Heartstoppingly thrilling.

This is pure heaven. They are stunning
