Led Zeppelin’s 1971 classic hit “Stairway To Heaven” is already a song that has a life of its own. It’s a legendary song by one of the most iconic rock bands in the history of rock and roll. It is also a go-to song for musicians to learn with it remaining to be the biggest-selling sheet music in the history of rock. That mystical arpeggio and the very recognizable intro is widely known all over the world. The song is so popular, its total estimated value is $572 million or more! The guitar solo is especially quite a challenge to undertake, let alone do it as flawlessly as Jimmy Page has on electric guitar, and he has perfected it for decades upon decades. It really takes talent and skill to be able to pull off that solo impressively.
