Stairway to Heaven
I just want to find out what other ornamentation people use when playing this song. I notice in the movie Kirk "thumps" the guitar body at the end of the first 4 measures, and that dynamics are essential in this piece.
Also, in transitioning to that high D/F# chord, it's easier for me to fret the 9th on the A-string with my pinky. Anyone else have any other techniques for duplicating this beaut?

You do know that you can be thrown out of most guitar shops for playing Stairway to Heaven   Also here in Kansas it is against the law to play Dust in the Wind in any Guitar Store  Its just a  here..... Just kidding.

I play it just often enough to remember it all in case someone asks for it. I must admit, however, that I typically change the radio station when it comes on- I've heard it so many times that I just don't get any enjoyment out of it anymore.

I'll listen to this brilliant tune any day over Freebird. The ending always sends me chills still today.
