The Guitar World magazine recently came out with a step by step guide to "Stairway To Heaven" and it was very well done. Very thorough!
I can do the intro and everything up to and including the first part of the solo, but have yet to conquer the rest.

I could play quite a bit of it back in the early 70's when it was fairly new and I was still young and had a good memory  , but I haven't tried to play it in MANY years. I absolutely love that piece though - and I got a copy of that GW issue from February, so I may try to relearn... If the old brain and old fingers can still hack it!

It was one of the first songs I learned when I got a computer and could get on the tab sites-
Never bothered to learn the solos and the end part of the songs.
I'll never forget getting together with some of the guys and in between songs I started playing it- one of the other guys looks over with a gleam in his eye and says "Nice song...you write that?". Talk about feelin' a fool...

I think Smoke on the Water is next in the natural progression of learning how to play...!!! 
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

STH is an excellent song to learn. Unfortunately it has been driven into the ground over the years to a point where it's almost unbearable to listen to. It is a classic piece of guitar work elegantly executed. The guitar work of that one song has been inspiration to countless budding guitarists.
I highly recommend taking time to learn it.

Just now watched Led Zep on DVD play it in '73 -- that song is a piece of music history.

Great song. As with the rest of you, I know bits and pieces of the song. Never have played the whole thing.
