For just over ten years, Led Zeppelin shook the earth with their monumental four-man line-up. Live, they were known for their seemingly endless improvisations. In this intoxication Jimmy Page dared to let go of all brakes and he didn't attach any value to a neat technique or the exact right note, rock & roll!
In the studio, however, he was much more critical and thoughtful about which notes, parts and sounds he would place where. Stairway to Heaven' is an unlikely result of that. On this song from their album 'Led Zeppelin IV' Jimmy Page probably plays one of the most legendary solos ever.
Exercise
The first lick of the solo of 'Stairway to Heaven' is started in the first position of A minor pentatonic.
