Voice of America named it the best rock song ever and guitarists and guitar fans the world over will swear by it as one of the best if not the best lead solo ever. On YouTube and elsewhere there are many who have tried to emulate Jimmy Page but only a few are perfect. Here are my favorite picks.

The near perfect one is from Tom Lane, the instructor at playguitarsolos.com

Tom Lane has other excellent guitar solo videos that you can also learn to play and from the videos I have seen he is the best out there. You can find them on his website, more about which I plan to write later.

From Ugur Dariveren and like someone commented, nice wind in his hair.

Ugur has posted some other solos too of various hits and they are very impressive.

Another video posted by markmusicman but there is a tiny mistake in the first line of the solo

And the classical imporvisation live performance from Rodrigo and Gabriela which even challenges the original.

If you know of a “stairway to heaven” solo video that either matches these performances or even betters them send me a message and I will link them here.
