I am sitting in the school coffee shop and I hear the breakdown of the Stairway to Heaven. It stood out. Then, I started listening closely and realized that this must have been a full instrumental cover of the song. The guitar solo was incredible and it had this feel and depth that I don't get from the Zeppelin version of the track. It was loaded with brass wind instruments, the guitar sounded to be classical.
This was an interesting cover to hear. I hope to find if they keep a track listing and I will share my find. |

Just curious. How is it Flamenco? Flamenco-esque perhaps but not Flamenco. Purists around the globe are pulling their hair out right now as we speak! Nah. Not really!

VERY cool cover! I always thought that Stairway to heaven is one of the forbidden songs, a song that must not be touched, covered, altered, interpreted... but I like this version

I'm not an expert - my daughter understands flamenco much better than me - but I think the issue here is that flamenco has a very different rhythm to rock and the emphasis of the beat is not the same. Some of the R+G recording does this but not all of it. Like you say - and to me - it's more flamenco-esque than flamenco... |

I actually thought that it is not only forbidden to touch but also forbidden to play. As beautiful of a piece as it is, it is the butt of too many guitar store employee jokes, isn't it? This is a neat version. I enjoyed it.

Well, one thing is for sure, if you go to a music shop here in Germany, you grab a guitar and start to play that song you will get kicked out immeidately and be banned for lifetime

There are some songs that should be forbidden
It can be a real pain to go to Musikmesse in Frankfurt when you are bombed with 3 billion versions of Enter Sandman, Highway to Hell and Stairway to heaven, all at the same time... a pure nightmare
